Identification of Rab7 as an autophagy marker: potential therapeutic approaches and the effect of Qi Teng Xiao Zhuo granule in chronic glomerulonephritis
CONCLUSION: TCM CGN-regulating herbs (QTXZG) can exert therapeutic effects by affecting the Rab7/Pink1/Parkin pathway to promote mitochondrial autophagy. New breakthroughs in targeted Rab7 may eventually enable such applications.PMID:37477949 | PMC:PMC10364565 | DOI:10.1080/13880209.2023.2233998 (Source: Pharmaceutical Biology)

Transcriptomic analysis reveals the regulatory mechanism underlying the indirubin-mediated amelioration of dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis in mice
CONCLUSION: Apart from the well-documented NF-κB signalling pathway, IL-17A, and NLRP3-IL-1β, the suppression of haemoglobin-induced lipid peroxidation could be a previously unknown mechanism of IDR. Our study can help improve its application for UC treatment.PMID:37439220 | DOI:10.1080/13880209.2023.2233565 (Source: Pharmaceutical Biology)
