摘要:
We explored the therapeutic effects of vitamin receptor activation by calcitriol in a mouse model of PD. We found that calcitriol is potent to protect against neuroinflammation and neuronal degeneration by boosting Treg. Vitamin D receptor may be a therapeutic option for PD. Abstract Objective Vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD) and vitamin D supplementation robustly alleviates neurodegeneration in PD models. However, the mechanisms underlying this effect require further clarification. Current evidence suggests that harnessing regulatory T cells (Treg) may mitigate neuronal degeneration. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effects of vitamin D receptor activation by calcitriol on PD, specifically focusing on its role in Treg. Methods Hemiparkinsonian mice model was established through the injection of 6‐OHDA into the striatum. Mice were pretreated with calcitriol before 6‐OHDA injection. The motor performance, dopaminergic neuronal survival, contents of dopamine, and dopamine metabolites were evaluated. The pro‐inflammatory cytokines levels, T‐cell infiltration, mRNA expression of indicated microglial M1/M2 phenotypic markers, and microglial marker in the midbrain were detected. Populations of Treg in the splenic tissues were assessed using a flow cytometry assay. PC61 monoclonal antibody was applied to deplete Treg in vivo. Results We show that calcitriol supplementation notably improved motor performance and reduced dopaminergic degeneration in the 6‐OHDA‐induced PD model. Mechanistically, calcitriol promoted anti‐inflammatory/neuroprotective Treg and inhibited pro‐inflammatory/neurodestructive effector T‐cell generation in this model. This process significantly inhibited T‐cell infiltration in the midbrain, restrained microglial activation, microglial M1 polarization, and decreased pro‐inflammatory cytokines release. This more favorable inflammatory microenvironment rescued dopaminergic degeneration. To further verify that the anti‐inflammatory effects of calcitriol are associated with Treg expansion, we applied an antibody‐mediated Treg depletion assay. As predicted, the anti‐inflammatory effects of calcitriol in the PD model were diminished following Treg depletion. Conclusion These findings suggest that calcitriol's anti‐inflammatory and neuroprotective effects in PD are associated with its potential to boost Treg expansion.

摘要:
IMPORTANCE: It is uncertain whether intravenous methylprednisolone improves outcomes for patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large-vessel occlusion (LVO) undergoing endovascular thrombectomy. OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy and adverse events of adjunctive intravenous low-dose methylprednisolone to endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke secondary to LVO. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This investigator-initiated, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was implemented at 82 hospitals in China, enrolling 1680 patients with stroke and proximal intracranial LVO presenting within 24 hours of time last known to be well. Recruitment took place between February 9, 2022, and June 30, 2023, with a final follow-up on September 30, 2023. INTERVENTIONS: Eligible patients were randomly assigned to intravenous methylprednisolone (n = 839) at 2 mg/kg/d or placebo (n = 841) for 3 days adjunctive to endovascular thrombectomy. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: The primary efficacy outcome was disability level at 90 days as measured by the overall distribution of the modified Rankin Scale scores (range, 0 [no symptoms] to 6 [death]). The primary safety outcomes included mortality at 90 days and the incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage within 48 hours. RESULTS: Among 1680 patients randomized (median age, 69 years; 727 female [43.3%]), 1673 (99.6%) completed the trial. The median 90-day modified Rankin Scale score was 3 (IQR, 1-5) in the methylprednisolone group vs 3 (IQR, 1-6) in the placebo group (adjusted generalized odds ratio for a lower level of disability, 1.10 [95% CI, 0.96-1.25]; P = .17). In the methylprednisolone group, there was a lower mortality rate (23.2% vs 28.5%; adjusted risk ratio, 0.84 [95% CI, 0.71-0.98]; P = .03) and a lower rate of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (8.6% vs 11.7%; adjusted risk ratio, 0.74 [95% CI, 0.55-0.99]; P = .04) compared with placebo. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Among patients with acute ischemic stroke due to LVO undergoing endovascular thrombectomy, adjunctive methylprednisolone added to endovascular thrombectomy did not significantly improve the degree of overall disability.

摘要:
Simple Summary In this study, we found that high FTSJ1 expression in triple-negative breast cancer patients was associated with poor prognosis and was associated with reduced infiltration of CD8+T cells in the tumor microenvironment. By knocking down FTSJ1, we observed an inhibitory effect on the proliferation and migration of triple-negative breast cancer, while inducing apoptosis and increasing the sensitivity of TNBC cells to T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity. This finding highlights the importance of FTSJ1 as a potential immunotherapy target in triple-negative breast cancer.Abstract FtsJ RNA 2 '-O-methyltransferase 1 (FTSJ1) is a member of the methyltransferase superfamily and is involved in the processing and modification of ribosomal RNA. We herein demonstrate that FTSJ1 favors TNBC progression. The knockdown of FTSJ1 inhibits TNBC cell proliferation and development, induces apoptosis of cancer cells, and increases the sensitivity of TNBC cells to T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Furthermore, the high expression of FTSJ1 in TNBC attenuates CD8+T cell infiltration in the tumor microenvironment (TME) correlated with poorer prognosis for clinical TNBC patients. In this study, we establish that FTSJ1 acts as a tumor promotor, is involved in cancer immune evasion, and may serve as a potential immunotherapy target in TNBC.
摘要:
AKG protects against CTX‐induced POI by inhibiting NLRP3‐mediated pyroptosis of granulosa cells, restoring the glycolysis and improving ovarian reserve function.(Created with BioRender.com). Scope Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a common female infertility problem, with its pathogenesis remains unknown. The NOD‐like receptor family pyrin domain‐containing 3 (NLRP3)‐mediated pyroptosis has been proposed as a possible mechanism in POI. This study investigates the therapeutic effect of α‐ketoglutarate (AKG) on ovarian reserve function in POI rats and further explores the potential molecular mechanisms. Methods and results POI rats are caused by administration of cyclophosphamide (CTX) to determine whether AKG has a protective effect. AKG treatment increases the ovarian index, maintains both serum hormone levels and follicle number, and improves the ovarian reserve function in POI rats, as evidence by increased the level of lactate and the expression of rate‐limiting enzymes of glycolysis in the ovaries, additionally reduced the expression of NLRP3, Gasdermin D (GSDMD), Caspase‐1, Interleukin‐18 (IL‐18), and Interleukin‐1 beta (IL‐1β). In vitro, KGN cells are treated with LPS and nigericin to mimic pyroptosis, then treated with AKG and MCC950. AKG inhibits inflammatory and pyroptosis factors such as NLRP3, restores the glycolysis process in vitro, meanwhile inhibition of NLRP3 has the same effect. Conclusion AKG ameliorates CTX‐induced POI by inhibiting NLRP3‐mediated pyroptosis, which provides a new therapeutic strategy and drug target for clinical POI patients.

摘要:
BACKGROUND: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) represent a subset of non-coding RNAs implicated in the regulation of diverse biological processes, including tumorigenesis. However, the expression and functional implications of circ0060467 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain elusive. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the role of circ0060467 in modulating the progression of HCC. METHODS: Differentially expressed circRNAs in HCC tissues were identified through circRNA microarray assays. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assays revealed the upregulation of circ0060467 in both HCC cell lines and tissues. Various assays were conducted to investigate the roles of circ0060467 in HCC progression. Additionally, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays and luciferase assays were carried out to assess the interactions between circ0060467, microRNA-6085 (miR-6085), apoptosis-inducing factor mitochondria-associated 2 (AIFM2), and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) in HCC. RESULTS: Microarray and qRT-PCR analyses demonstrated a marked elevation of circ0060467 in HCC tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of circ0060467 suppressed HCC cell proliferation. Luciferase reporter and RIP assays confirmed the binding of circ0060467, AIFM2, and GPX4 to miR-6805. Subsequent experiments revealed that circ0060467 competes with AIFM2 and GPX4, thereby inhibiting cancer cell ferroptosis by binding to miR-6085 and promoting hepatocellular carcinoma progression. CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, circ0060467 modulates the levels of AIFM2 and GPX4, crucial regulators of tumor cell ferroptosis, by acting as a sponge for miR-6085 in HCC. Thus, circ0060467 may represent a novel diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for HCC.
摘要:
The permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is increased in Alzheimer's disease (AD). This plays a key role in the instigation and maintenance of chronic inflammation during AD. Experiments using AD models showed that the increased permeability of the BBB was mainly caused by the decreased expression of tight junction-related proteins occludin and claudin-5. In this study, we found that ZNF787 and HDAC1 were upregulated in β-amyloid (Aβ)(1-42)-incubated endothelial cells, resulting in increased BBB permeability. Conversely, the silencing of ZNF787 and HDAC1 by RNAi led to reduced BBB permeability. The silencing of ZNF787 and HDAC1 enhanced the expression of occludin and claudin-5. Mechanistically, ZNF787 binds to promoter regions for occludin and claudin-5 and functions as a transcriptional regulator. Furthermore, we demonstrate that ZNF787 interacts with HDAC1, and this resulted in the downregulation of the expression of genes encoding tight junction-related proteins to increase in BBB permeability. Taken together, our study identifies critical roles for the interaction between ZNF787 and HDAC1 in regulating BBB permeability and the pathogenesis of AD.

摘要:
Chlamydia trachomatis, is a kind of obligate intracellular pathogen. The removal of C. trachomatis relies primarily on specific cellular immunity. It is currently considered that CD4(+) Th1 cytokine responses are the major protective immunity against C. trachomatis infection and reinfection rather than CD8(+) T cells. The non-specific immunity (innate immunity) also plays an important role in the infection process. To survive inside the cells, the first process that C. trachomatis faces is the innate immune response. As the "sentry" of the body, mast cells attempt to engulf and remove C. trachomatis. Dendritic cells present antigen of C. trachomatis to the "commanders" (T cells) through MHC-I and MHC-II. IFN-γ produced by activated T cells and natural killer cells (NK) further activates macrophages. They form the body's "combat troops" and produce immunity against C. trachomatis in the tissues and blood. In addition, the role of eosinophils, basophils, innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), natural killer T (NKT) cells, γδT cells and B-1 cells should not be underestimated in the infection of C. trachomatis. The protective role of innate immunity is insufficient, and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) caused by C. trachomatis infections tend to be insidious and recalcitrant. As a consequence, C. trachomatis has developed a unique evasion mechanism that triggers inflammatory immunopathology and acts as a bridge to protective to pathological adaptive immunity. This review focuses on the recent advances in how C. trachomatis evades various innate immune cells, which contributes to vaccine development and our understanding of the pathophysiologic consequences of C. trachomatis infection.

摘要:
Lactylation of alpha-myosin heavy chain (alpha-MHC) has recently been reported to preserve sarcomeric structure and function and attenuate the development of heart failure. Specifically, lactylation enhanced the interaction of alpha-MHC with the sarcomeric protein Titin, thereby maintaining normal sarcomeric structure and myocardial contractile function. Furthermore, the administration of lactate or inhibition of lactate efflux potentially treats heart failure by restoring lactylation of alpha-MHC and the interaction of alpha-MHC with Titin. This finding highlights the significant role of alpha-MHC lactylation in myocardial diseases and presents a new therapeutic target for the treatment of heart failure.

摘要:
In this study, we down-regulate the expression of calreticulin (CRT) in differentiation of human leukemic HL-60 cells induced by diallyl disulfide (DADS) so as to find out the molecular mechanism of differentiation in HL-60 cells induced by DADS. By using several methods like Giemsa's staining, siRNA, MTT, qPCR, Westenbloting, flow cytometry etc., we tested the morphology changes of HL-60 cells, detected the expression of CRT before and after the use of siRNA and DADS, also we measured the proliferation of HL-60 cells. The results showed that DADS can apparently change the morphology of HL-60, furthermore both DADS and siRNA can decrease the expression of CRT. Once CRT was silenced, the proliferation of HL-60 was inhibited in the meantime the expression of CD33 and CD11b was significantly decreased. Therefore, DADS can down-regulates CRT-induced HL-60 differentiation meanwhile the silent CRT can induce the differentiation of HL-60 cells and enhance DADS-induced HL-60 cells differentiation.
