In vitro biocompatibility of ammonia-free silver fluoride products on human dental pulp stem cells
This study aimed to compare the biological properties of two commercial SF products, one of them with ammonium (Riva Star; SDF) and the other ammonium-free (Riva Star Aqua; AgF), both with or without potassium iodide (KI), by the assessment of the cytotoxicity of the materials' eluates.METHODS: Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) were obtained from healthy 18-23-year-old donors. Three dilutions were prepared for the tested materials (0.005%, 0.0005%, and 0.0001%). The following groups were assessed: (AgF, AgF+KI, SDF, SDF+KI, KI, negative control). A series of cytocompatibility assays were performed: MTT assay, IC50 assa...

VSIG4 ameliorates intestinal inflammation through inhibiting macrophages NLRP3 inflammasome and pyroptosis
This study aims to explore the role and the potential mechanism of VSIG4 in IBD. Clinical samples were obtained from IBD patients and were examined by immunohistochemical staining. THP-1 cells were differentiated into macrophages, and then stimulated with IL-4 plus IL-13 or LPS to induce pro-inflammatory (M1) or anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype. Cell transfection was conducted to overexpress VSIG4. Western blot and immunofluorescence assays were performed to assess NLRP3 inflammasome- and pyroptosis-related proteins. Cytokines were measured using ELISA. A cell co-culture model of Caco-2 cells and VSIG4-mediated macrophages...

Transient receptor potential channel TRPM4 favors oxidized low-density lipoprotein-induced coronary endothelial cell dysfunction via a mechanism involving ferroptosis
This study aimed to reveal the potential role of TRPM4 in AS along with the mechanism. Human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) induced by ox-LDL was regarded as an in vitro model. The impacts of TRPM4 knockdown on cellular inflammation response, oxidative stress, normal endothelial function and lipid peroxidation were evaluated. Given that ferroptosis promotes AS progression, the effects of TRPM4 on intracellular iron ions and ferroptosis-related proteins was determined. Afterwards, HCAECs were treated with ferroptosis inducer erastin, and the influence of ferroptosis in the cellular model was revealed. TRPM4 was ...

Tertiary lymphoid structures, a historical reappraisal
Tissue Cell. 2023 Dec 10;86:102288. doi: 10.1016/j.tice.2023.102288. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) are accumulations of lymphoid cells within non-lymphoid organs that share the cellular compartments, spatial organization, vasculature, chemokines, and function with secondary lymphoid organs, especially lymph nodes. TLSs are organized into a separate T cell and B cell compartments which contain germinal centers with follicular dendritic cells. In most cases, TLSs contain Peripheral Node addressin (PNAD) expressing high endothelial venules (HEVs). TLSs have been described in various mouse m...

Zic family member 3 attenuates oxidative stress-induced vascular smooth muscle cell apoptosis in patients with chronic kidney disease
Tissue Cell. 2023 Dec 8;86:102286. doi: 10.1016/j.tice.2023.102286. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeointimal hyperplasia is reportedly essential for arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Oxidative stress is vital in the progression of uremic venous intimal hyperplasia. Studies have suggested that zinc ions obstruct vascular calcification in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Recent studies have shown that the zinc finger protein, Zic family member 3 (ZIC3), is crucial for the earliest cardiovascular progenitors. ZIC3 mutations are associated with congenital heart disease. However, the m...
