Testing anabolic activity, potency and mechanisms of action of the phyto-derived beta 2 agonist higenamine
Toxicol Lett. 2023 Aug 18:S0378-4274(23)00243-6. doi: 10.1016/j.toxlet.2023.08.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHigenamine (Hige), a plant derived alkaloid is classified as β2 agonist by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). However, pharmacologic mechanisms of its performance-enhancing activity have not been investigated so far. Therefore, we investigate the anabolic activity and associated molecular mechanisms of Hige in C2C12 myotubes. In differentiated C2C12 cells dose-dependent effects of Hige on myotube size were analyzed. The mRNA expression of genes involved in hypertrophy was measured. For mechanistic studies, Î...

Cigarette smoke attenuates mesenchymal stem cell-based suppression of immune cell-driven acute liver failure
Toxicol Lett. 2023 Aug 10:S0378-4274(23)00242-4. doi: 10.1016/j.toxlet.2023.08.006. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDetrimental effects of smoking on mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-dependent immunosuppression and hepatoprotection are unknown. Herewith, by using α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer)-induced liver injury, a well-established murine model of fulminant hepatitis, we examined molecular mechanisms which were responsible for negative effects of cigarette smoke on MSC-dependent immunomodulation. MSC which were grown in cigarette smoke-exposed medium (MSCWS-CM) obtained pro-inflammatory phenotype, were not able to optimally ...
