Catechin hydrate ameliorates cerulein ‑induced chronic pancreatitis via the inactivation of TGF‑β/Smad2 signaling
Mol Med Rep. 2023 Nov;28(5):208. doi: 10.3892/mmr.2023.13095. Epub 2023 Sep 21.ABSTRACTChronic pancreatitis (CP) is a pancreatic inflammatory disease associated with histological changes, including fibrosis, acinar cell loss and immune cell infiltration, and leads to damage of the pancreas, which results in pain, weight loss and loss of pancreas function. Catechin or catechin hydrate (CH) has antioxidant, anticancer and immune‑regulatory effects. However, unlike other catechins, the antifibrotic effects of (+)‑CH have not been widely studied in many diseases, including CP. Therefore, the anti‑fibrotic effects of (+)...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy suppresses hypoxia and reoxygenation injury to retinal pigment epithelial cells through activating peroxisome proliferator activator receptor-alpha signalling
J Cell Mol Med. 2023 Sep 20. doi: 10.1111/jcmm.17963. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRetinal ischemia followed by reperfusion (IR) is a common cause of many ocular disorders, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which leads to blindness in the elderly population, and proper therapies remain unavailable. Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell death is a hallmark of AMD. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy can improve IR tissue survival by inducing ischemic preconditioning responses. We conducted an in vitro study to examine the effects of HBO preconditioning on oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced IR-injured RPE ce...

Transcriptome analysis of six tissues obtained post-mortem from sepsis patients
J Cell Mol Med. 2023 Sep 20. doi: 10.1111/jcmm.17938. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSeptic shock is a life-threatening clinical condition characterized by a robust immune inflammatory response to disseminated infection. Little is known about its impact on the transcriptome of distinct human tissues. To address this, we performed RNA sequencing of samples from the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, heart, lung, kidney and colon of seven individuals who succumbed to sepsis and seven uninfected controls. We identified that the lungs and colon were the most affected organs. While gene activation dominated, strong inhibitory signa...

Bioelectronic medicine potentiates endogenous NSCs for neurodegenerative diseases
Trends Mol Med. 2023 Sep 19:S1471-4914(23)00190-9. doi: 10.1016/j.molmed.2023.08.005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are commonly observed and while no therapy is universally applicable, cell-based therapies are promising. Stem cell transplantation has been investigated, but endogenous neural stem cells (eNSCs), despite their potential, especially with the development of bioelectronic medicine and biomaterials, remain understudied. Here, we compare stem cell transplantation therapy with eNSC-based therapy and summarize the combined use of eNSCs and developing technologies. The rapid developm...

Prenatal FGFR2 Signaling via PI3K/AKT Specifies the PDGFRA < sup > + < /sup > Myofibroblast
In this study, FGFR2 signaling was inhibited by temporal expression of a secreted dominant-negative FGFR2b (dnFGFR2) by AT2 cells from E16.5 to E18.5. Fibroblast and epithelial differentiation were analyzed at E18.5, PN7, and PN21. At all time points, the number of myofibroblasts was reduced and the number lipo/matrix fibroblasts was increased. AT2 cells are increased and AT1 cells are reduced postnatally, but not at E18.5. Similarly, in organoids made with PDGFRA+ fibroblasts from dnFGFR2 lungs, increased AT2 cells and reduced AT1 cells were observed. In vitro treatment of primary wild-type E16.5 adherent saccular lung fi...

Upregulation of FAM134B inhibits endoplasmic reticulum stress-related degradation protein expression and promotes hepatocellular carcinogenesis
J Cell Mol Med. 2023 Sep 20. doi: 10.1111/jcmm.17964. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEndoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress can stimulate the proliferation and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells while hindering apoptosis and immune system function, but the molecular mechanism of ER stress in HCC has yet to be fully studied. We aim to investigate the molecular mechanism by which FAM134B inhibits autophagy of HCC cells by reducing the expression of ER stress-related degradation proteins. Clinical samples were collected for this study. Normal liver cell lines HL7702 and Hep3B and Huh7 HCC cell lines were cultured. C...

Selenium in combination with a tomato lipid extract as a therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia and its alterations in rats with induced BPH
J Cell Mol Med. 2023 Sep 19. doi: 10.1111/jcmm.17903. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBenign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common adenoma in old men. Tomatoes are a rich source of bioactive compounds that, as well as selenium (Se), possess antioxidant and antiproliferative activity. The aim was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of Se in combination with a tomato extract in aged rats with BPH. Aged male Wistar rats were divided in the following groups (n = 10 rats/group): Control (C), BPH, BPH + Finasteride (BPH + F), BPH + Tomato Lipidic Extract (BPH + E), BPH + Selenium (BPH + S) and BPH plus E plus S (BPH + E + ...

Mineral elements and adiposity-related consequences in adolescents with intellectual disabilities
CONCLUSION: The intellectual disability of moderate type (MID) was associated with abnormal changes in the levels of essential mineral elements and adipokines and increased levels of cellular oxidative stress. Thus, evaluating plasma mineral elements and adipokines levels could be a potential diagnostic parameter for diagnosing MID.PMID:37730529 | DOI:10.1186/s12860-023-00490-5

Characterization of a (p)ppApp synthetase belonging to a new family of polymorphic toxin associated with temperate phages
In this study, we characterized the MuF-RelA_SpoT toxin associated with the temperate phage of Streptococcus pneumoniae SPNA45. We show that the RelA_SpoT domain has (p)ppApp synthetase activity, which is bactericidal under our experimental conditions. We further determine that the two genes located downstream encode two immunity proteins, one binding to and inactivating the toxin and the other detoxifying the cell via a pppApp hydrolase activity. Finally, based on protein sequence alignments, we propose a signature for (p)ppApp synthetases that distinguishes them from (p)ppGpp synthetases.PMID:37730083 | DOI:10.1016/j.jmb.2023.168282
