Abstract Activated T cells undergo a metabolic shift to aerobic glycolysis to support the energetic demands of proliferation, differentiation, and cytolytic function. Transmembrane glucose flux is facilitated by glucose transporters (GLUT) that play a vital role in T cell metabolic reprogramming and anti-tumour function. GLUT isoforms are regulated at the level of expression and subcellular distribution. GLUTs also display preferential selectivity for carbohydrate macronutrients including glucose, galactose, and fructose. GLUT5, which selectively transports fructose over glucose, has never been explored as a genetic engineering strategy to enhance CAR-T cells in fructose-rich tumour environments. Fructose levels are significantly elevated in the bone marrow and the plasma of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients. Here, we demonstrate that the expression of wild-type GLUT5 restores T cell metabolic fitness in glucose-free, high fructose conditions. We find that fructose supports maximal glycolytic capacity and ATP replenishment rates in GLUT5-expressing T cells. Using steady state tracer technology, we show that 13C6 fructose supports glycolytic reprogramming and TCA anaplerosis in CAR-T cells undergoing log phase expansion. In cytotoxicity assays, GLUT5 rescues T cell cytolytic function in glucose-free medium. The fructose/GLUT5 metabolic axis also supports maximal migratory velocity, which provides mechanistic insight into why GLUT5-expressing CAR-Ts have superior effector function as they undergo “hit-and-run” serial killing. These findings translate to superior anti-tumour function in a xenograft model of AML. In fact, we found that GLUT5 enhances CAR-T cell anti-tumour function in vivo without any need for fructose intervention. Accordingly, we hypothesize that GLUT5 is sufficient to enhance CAR-T resilience by increasing the cells’ competitiveness for glucose at physiologic metabolite levels. Our findings have immediate translational relevance by providing the first evidence that GLUT5 confers a competitive edge in a fructose-enriched milieu, and is a novel approach to overcome glucose depletion in hostile tumour microenvironments (TMEs).
摘要 活化的 T 细胞在代谢过程中转向有氧糖酵解,以支持增殖、分化和细胞溶解功能的能量需求。跨膜葡萄糖通量由葡萄糖转运体(GLUT)促进,葡萄糖转运体在 T 细胞代谢重编程和抗肿瘤功能中发挥着重要作用。GLUT 同工型在表达和亚细胞分布水平上受到调控。GLUT 还对包括葡萄糖、半乳糖和果糖在内的碳水化合物主要营养素具有优先选择性。GLUT5 可选择性地转运果糖而不是葡萄糖,但它从未被作为一种基因工程策略用于在富含果糖的肿瘤环境中增强 CAR-T 细胞。急性髓性白血病(AML)患者的骨髓和血浆中果糖水平明显升高。在这里,我们证明了野生型 GLUT5 的表达可恢复 T 细胞在无葡萄糖、高果糖条件下的代谢能力。我们发现,果糖支持表达 GLUT5 的 T 细胞的最大糖酵解能力和 ATP 补充率。利用稳态示踪技术,我们发现 13C6 果糖支持对数期扩增的 CAR-T 细胞的糖酵解重编程和 TCA 失活。在细胞毒性试验中,GLUT5 能在无葡萄糖培养基中挽救 T 细胞的细胞溶解功能。果糖/GLUT5代谢轴还支持最大迁移速度,这从机理上揭示了为什么表达GLUT5的CAR-T细胞在进行 "打了就跑 "的连续杀伤时具有卓越的效应功能。这些发现转化为急性髓细胞性白血病异种移植模型中的卓越抗肿瘤功能。事实上,我们发现 GLUT5 无需果糖干预即可增强 CAR-T 细胞的体内抗肿瘤功能。因此,我们推测 GLUT5 足以通过提高细胞在生理代谢物水平上对葡萄糖的竞争性来增强 CAR-T 的恢复能力。我们的研究结果首次证明 GLUT5 在富含果糖的环境中具有竞争优势,是克服恶劣肿瘤微环境(TMEs)中葡萄糖耗竭的一种新方法,因此具有直接的转化意义。

Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by neuroinflammation, progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons, and accumulation of a-synuclein (a-Syn) into insoluble aggregates called Lewy pathology. The Line 61 a-Syn mouse is an established preclinical model of PD; Thy-1 is used to promote human a-Syn expression, and features of sporadic PD develop at 9-18 months of age. To accelerate the PD phenotypes, we injected sonicated human a-Syn preformed fibrils (PFFs) into the striatum, which produced phospho-Syn (p-a-Syn) inclusions in the substantia nigra pars compacta and significantly increased MHC Class II-positive immune cells. Additionally, there was enhanced infiltration and activation of innate and adaptive immune cells in the midbrain. We then used this new model, Line 61-PFF, to investigate the effect of inhibiting the JAK/STAT signaling pathway, which is critical for regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses. After administration of the JAK1/2 inhibitor AZD1480, immunofluorescence staining showed a significant decrease in p-a-Syn inclusions and MHC Class II expression. Flow cytometry showed reduced infiltration of CD4 + T-cells, CD8 + T-cells, CD19 + B-cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, and endogenous microglia into the midbrain. Importantly, single-cell RNA-Sequencing analysis of CD45 + cells from the midbrain identified 9 microglia clusters, 5 monocyte/macrophage (MM) clusters, and 5 T-cell (T) clusters, in which potentially pathogenic MM4 and T3 clusters were associated with neuroinflammatory responses in Line 61-PFF mice. AZD1480 treatment reduced cell numbers and cluster-specific expression of the antigen-presentation genes H2-Eb1 , H2-Aa , H2-Ab1 , and Cd74 in the MM4 cluster and proinflammatory genes such as Tnf , Il1b , C1qa , and C1qc in the T3 cluster. Together, these results indicate that inhibiting the JAK/STAT pathway suppresses the activation and infiltration of innate and adaptive cells, reducing neuroinflammation in the Line 61-PFF mouse model.
摘要 帕金森病(PD)的特征是神经炎症、多巴胺能神经元的进行性丧失以及a-突触核蛋白(a-Syn)积聚成称为路易病理学的不溶性聚集体。Line 61 a-Syn 小鼠是一种成熟的临床前帕金森病模型;Thy-1 被用来促进人类 a-Syn 的表达,散发性帕金森病的特征会在患者 9-18 个月大时出现。为了加速帕金森病表型的形成,我们向纹状体注射了超声人a-Syn预成纤维(PFFs),结果在黑质中产生了磷酸化-Syn(p-a-Syn)包涵体,并显著增加了MHC II类阳性免疫细胞。此外,先天性和适应性免疫细胞在中脑的浸润和活化也有所增强。然后,我们利用这个新模型--61-PFF 线--研究了抑制 JAK/STAT 信号通路的效果,该通路对先天性和适应性免疫反应的调节至关重要。服用JAK1/2抑制剂AZD1480后,免疫荧光染色显示p-a-Syn包涵体和MHC II类表达明显减少。流式细胞术显示,CD4 + T细胞、CD8 + T细胞、CD19 + B细胞、树突状细胞、巨噬细胞和内源性小胶质细胞向中脑的浸润减少。重要的是,对来自中脑的 CD45 + 细胞进行的单细胞 RNA 序列分析确定了 9 个小胶质细胞群、5 个单核/巨噬细胞(MM)群和 5 个 T 细胞(T)群,其中可能致病的 MM4 和 T3 群与 61-PFF 系小鼠的神经炎症反应有关。AZD1480 治疗可减少 MM4 簇的细胞数量和抗原递呈基因 H2-Eb1 、H2-Aa 、H2-Ab1 和 Cd74 的簇特异性表达,以及 T3 簇的促炎基因(如 Tnf 、Il1b 、C1qa 和 C1qc)的表达。这些结果表明,抑制 JAK/STAT 通路可抑制先天性和适应性细胞的活化和浸润,从而减轻 61-PFF 线小鼠模型的神经炎症。

Abstract Background Most electromyographic (EMG) data for muscular activation patterns during ambulation is limited to older adults with existing chronic disease(s) walking at slow velocities. However, we know much less about the lower extremity muscle co-contraction patterns during sprinting and its relation to running velocity (i.e., performance). Therefore, we compared lower extremity muscular activation patterns during sprinting between slower and faster collegiate club hockey athletes. We hypothesized that faster athletes would have lower EMG-assessed co-contraction index (CCI) values in the lower extremities during over-ground sprinting. Results Twenty-two males (age = 21[1] yrs (median[IQR]); body mass = 77.1 ± 8.6 kg (mean ± SD)) completed two 20-m over-ground sprints with concomitant EMG and asynchronous force plate testing. We split participants using median running velocity (FAST: 8.5 ± 0.3 vs. SLOW: 7.7 ± 0.3 Conclusions m/s, p  < 0.001). Faster athletes had lower CCI between the rectus femoris and biceps femoris (group: p  = 0.05), particularly during the late swing phase of the gait cycle (post hoc p  = 0.02). In agreement with our hypothesis, we found lower CCI values in the upper leg musculature during maximal-speed over-ground sprinting. These data from collegiate club hockey athletes corroborate other reports in clinical populations that the coordination between the rectus femoris and biceps femoris is associated with linear over-ground sprinting velocity.
摘要 背景 大多数关于行走时肌肉激活模式的肌电图(EMG)数据仅限于患有慢性疾病的老年人以慢速行走。然而,我们对短跑时的下肢肌肉协同收缩模式及其与跑步速度(即表现)的关系却知之甚少。因此,我们比较了速度较慢和速度较快的大学俱乐部曲棍球运动员在冲刺时的下肢肌肉激活模式。我们假设速度较快的运动员在地面冲刺时下肢的EMG评估的共收缩指数(CCI)值较低。结果 22 名男性(年龄 = 21[1]岁(中位数[IQR]);体重 = 77.1 ± 8.6 千克(平均值±标清值))完成了两次 20 米超地面短跑,并同时进行了 EMG 和异步力板测试。我们使用跑步速度中位数(快:8.5 ± 0.3 vs. 慢:7.7 ± 0.3 结论 m/s,p < 0.001)对参与者进行了分组。速度较快的运动员股直肌和股二头肌之间的 CCI 较低(组:p = 0.05),尤其是在步态周期的后期摆动阶段(p = 0.02)。与我们的假设一致,我们发现在最大速度地面冲刺时,上肢肌肉的 CCI 值较低。这些来自大学俱乐部曲棍球运动员的数据证实了其他临床人群的报告,即股直肌和股二头肌之间的协调与直线地面冲刺速度有关。

Abstract Background Impact of fecal colonization by multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) on changes in gut microbiota and associated metabolites, as well as its role in cirrhosis-associated outcomes, has not been thoroughly investigated. Methods Eighty-eight cirrhotic patients and 22 healthy volunteers were prospectively enrolled with analysis conducted on plasma metabolites, fecal MDROs, and microbiota. Patients were followed for a minimum of one year. Predictive factors for cirrhosis-associated outcomes were identified using Cox proportional hazards regression models, and risk factors for fecal MDRO carriage were assessed using logistic regression model. Correlations between microbiota and metabolic profiles were evaluated through Spearman's rank test. Results Twenty-nine (33%) cirrhotic patients exhibited MDRO carriage, with a notably higher rate of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in MDRO carriers (20.7% vs. 3.2%, p  = 0.008). Cox regression analysis identified higher serum lipopolysaccharide levels and fecal MDRO carriage as predictors for HE development. Logistic regression analysis showed that MDRO carriage is an independent risk factor for developing HE. Microbiota analysis showed a significant dissimilarity of fecal microbiota between cirrhotic patients with and without MDRO carriage ( p  = 0.033). Thirty-two metabolites exhibiting significantly different expression levels among healthy controls, cirrhotic patients with and without MDRO carriage were identified. Six of the metabolites showed correlation with specific bacterial taxa expression in MDRO carriers, with isoaustin showing significantly higher levels in MDRO carriers experiencing HE compared to those who did not. Conclusion Fecal MDRO carriage is associated with altered gut microbiota, metabolite modulation, and an elevated risk of HE occurrence within a year.
摘要 背景 耐多药生物(MDROs)粪便定植对肠道微生物群和相关代谢物变化的影响及其在肝硬化相关结果中的作用尚未得到深入研究。方法 对 88 名肝硬化患者和 22 名健康志愿者进行了前瞻性登记,并对血浆代谢物、粪便中的 MDROs 和微生物群进行了分析。对患者进行了至少一年的随访。使用 Cox 比例危险回归模型确定了肝硬化相关结果的预测因素,并使用逻辑回归模型评估了粪便中携带 MDRO 的风险因素。微生物群与代谢特征之间的相关性通过斯皮尔曼秩检验进行评估。结果 29 例(33%)肝硬化患者携带 MDRO,其中 MDRO 携带者的肝性脑病(HE)发病率明显更高(20.7% 对 3.2%,P = 0.008)。Cox 回归分析发现,较高的血清脂多糖水平和粪便中的 MDRO 携带者是肝性脑病发病的预测因素。逻辑回归分析表明,MDRO携带是罹患HE的独立风险因素。微生物群分析表明,携带和未携带MDRO的肝硬化患者粪便微生物群存在显著差异(p = 0.033)。在健康对照组、携带和未携带MDRO的肝硬化患者中,有32种代谢物的表达水平存在明显差异。其中六种代谢物与MDRO携带者体内特定细菌类群的表达相关,与没有携带MDRO的肝硬化患者相比,MDRO携带者体内异乌司丁的表达水平明显更高。结论 粪便中的 MDRO 携带者与肠道微生物群的改变、代谢物的调节以及一年内发生 HE 的风险升高有关。

Abstract Objectives Self-efficacy for illness management is increasingly recognized as important for outcomes in cancer. We examined whether The Big Five personality dimensions were associated with self-efficacy for illness management and hypothesized that patients who were less neurotic and more conscientious would have better self-efficacy. Methods Adults with cancer completed a cross-sectional survey that included the Mini-International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) and three subscales of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Self-Efficacy for Chronic Conditions: managing emotions, managing symptoms, and managing treatment and medication. Linear regressions were used to test the hypotheses, while controlling for covariates. Results The personality and PROMIS self-efficacy measures demonstrated good evidence of reliability (median Cronbach’s alpha = .78, range of .69-.92) and validity (intercorrelations). As hypothesized, patients who were less neurotic or more conscientious had higher levels of illness self-efficacy overall and on each of the three subscales (all p s < .001). Openness was associated with better self-management of symptoms ( p  = .013) and emotions ( p  = .040). Extraversion was associated with better self-management of emotions ( p  = .024). Conclusions Personality plays a vital role in illness self-efficacy for patients with cancer. Practice Implications: As a part of multidisciplinary care teams, psychosocial experts can use these findings to help patients better manage their illness.
摘要 目的 越来越多的人认识到,疾病管理的自我效能对癌症的治疗效果非常重要。我们研究了大五人格维度是否与疾病管理自我效能感相关,并假设神经质较少和较自觉的患者会有更好的自我效能感。方法 患有癌症的成年人完成了一项横断面调查,其中包括小型国际人格项目库(IPIP)和患者报告结果测量信息系统(PROMIS)慢性病自我效能的三个分量表:管理情绪、管理症状以及管理治疗和药物。在控制协变量的同时,采用线性回归对假设进行检验。结果 人格和 PROMIS 自我效能感测量结果显示出良好的信度(Cronbach's alpha 中位数 = .78,范围为 .69-.92)和效度(相互关系)。正如假设的那样,神经质较少或较有良知的患者在总体上和三个分量表中的每个分量表上都具有较高的疾病自我效能感水平(所有 p s < .001)。开放性与更好的症状自我管理(p = .013)和情绪自我管理(p = .040)相关。外向性与更好的情绪自我管理相关(p = .024)。结论 人格在癌症患者的疾病自我效能感中发挥着重要作用。实践意义:作为多学科护理团队的一部分,社会心理专家可以利用这些研究结果帮助患者更好地管理自己的疾病。

Abstract Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) alleviates motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD), thereby improving quality of life. However, quantitative brain markers to evaluate DBS responses and select suitable patients for surgery are lacking. Here, we used metabolic brain imaging to identify a reproducible STN-DBS network for which individual expression levels increased with stimulation in proportion to motor benefit. Of note, measurements of network expression from metabolic and BOLD imaging obtained preoperatively predicted motor outcomes determined after DBS surgery. Based on these findings, we computed network expression in 175 PD patients, with time from diagnosis ranging from 0 to 21 years, and used the resulting data to predict the outcome of a potential STN-DBS procedure. While minimal benefit was predicted for patients with early disease, the proportion of potential responders increased after 4 years. Clinically meaningful improvement with stimulation was predicted in 18.9 – 27.3% of patients depending on disease duration.
摘要 眼下核深部脑刺激(STN-DBS)可减轻帕金森病(PD)的运动症状,从而改善生活质量。然而,目前还缺乏用于评估 DBS 反应和选择合适手术患者的定量脑标记物。在这里,我们利用代谢脑成像技术确定了一个可重复的 STN-DBS 网络,该网络的个体表达水平随刺激的增加而增加,与运动获益成正比。值得注意的是,术前通过代谢和 BOLD 成像获得的网络表达测量结果可预测 DBS 手术后的运动效果。基于这些发现,我们计算了175名帕金森病患者的网络表达,这些患者的确诊时间从0年到21年不等,我们利用这些数据预测了潜在STN-DBS手术的结果。虽然预测早期患者的获益极小,但4年后潜在应答者的比例有所增加。根据病程长短,预测18.9-27.3%的患者在接受刺激后可获得有临床意义的改善。

Abstract Background : Injurious falls represent a significant public health burden. Research and polices have primarily focused on falls occurring indoors despite evidence that outdoor falls account for 47-58% of all falls requiring some medical attention. This study compared the clinical trauma severity of indoor versus outdoor injurious falls requiring Emergency Medical Services (EMS) response. Methods: Using the 2019 National Emergency Medical Services Information System (NEMSIS) dataset, we identified the location of patients injured from falls that required EMS response. We classified injury severity using 1) the Revised Trauma Score for Triage (T-RTS): ≤ 11 indicated the need for transport to a Trauma Center; 2) Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS): ≤8 and 9–12 indicated moderate and severe neurologic injury; and 3) patient clinical acuity by EMS: Dead, Critical, Emergent, Low. Results : Of 1,854,909 encounters for patients with injurious falls, the vast majority occurred indoors ( n =1,596,860) compared to outdoors ( n =152,994). The proportions of patients with moderate or severe GCS scores, were comparable between those with indoor falls (3.0%) and with outdoor falls on streets or sidewalks (3.8%), T-RTS scores indicating need for transport to a Trauma Center (5.2% vs 5.9%) and EMS acuity rated as Emergent or Critical (27.7% vs 27.1%).Injurious falls were more severe among male patients compared to females: and males injured by falling on streets or sidewalks had higher percentages for moderate or severe GCS scores (4.8% vs 3.6%) and T-RTS scores indicating the need for transport to a Trauma Center (7.3% vs 6.5%) compared to indoor falls. Young and middle-aged patients whose injurious falls occurred on streets or sidewalks were more likely to have a T-RTS score indicating the need for Trauma Center care compared to indoor falls among this subgroup. Yet older patients injured by falling indoors were more likely to have a T-RTS score indicating the need for Trauma Center than older patients who fell on streets or sidewalks. Conclusions : There was a similar proportion of patients with severe injurious falls that occurred indoors and on streets or sidewalks. These findings suggest the need to determine outdoor environmental risks for outdoor falls to support location-specific interventions.
摘要 背景:伤害性跌倒是一项重大的公共卫生负担。尽管有证据表明室外跌倒占所有需要就医的跌倒的 47-58%,但研究和政策主要关注的是发生在室内的跌倒。本研究比较了需要紧急医疗服务(EMS)响应的室内和室外伤害性跌倒的临床创伤严重程度。研究方法利用 2019 年国家紧急医疗服务信息系统(NEMSIS)数据集,我们确定了需要急救服务响应的高处坠落受伤患者的位置。我们使用以下方法对受伤严重程度进行了分类:1)修订的创伤分诊评分(T-RTS):≤11分表示需要转运至创伤中心;2)格拉斯哥昏迷量表(GCS):≤8分和9-12分表示中度和重度神经损伤;3)急救服务对患者的临床敏锐度:死亡、危重、紧急、低度。结果:在1,854,909例摔伤患者中,绝大多数发生在室内(n = 1,596,860),而非室外(n = 152,994)。中度或重度 GCS 评分的患者比例在室内跌倒(3.0%)和室外街道或人行道跌倒(3.8%)之间相当,T-RTS 评分表明需要送往创伤中心(5.2% vs 5.9%),紧急医疗服务急性期被评为紧急或危重(27.7% vs 27.1%)。与女性患者相比,男性患者的摔伤更为严重:与室内摔伤相比,在街道或人行道上摔伤的男性患者中度或重度 GCS 评分(4.8% vs 3.6%)和需要送往创伤中心的 T-RTS 评分(7.3% vs 6.5%)的比例更高。与在室内跌倒的患者相比,在街道或人行道上跌倒受伤的中青年患者更有可能获得表明需要送往创伤中心救治的 T-RTS 评分。然而,与在街道或人行道上跌倒的老年患者相比,在室内跌倒受伤的老年患者更有可能获得表明需要创伤中心治疗的 T-RTS 评分。结论 :在室内和在街道或人行道上摔倒造成严重伤害的患者比例相似。这些发现表明,有必要确定室外跌倒的室外环境风险,以支持针对特定地点的干预措施。

Abstract Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying tumorigenesis is crucial for developing effective cancer therapies. Here, we investigate the co-amplification of MED30 and MYC across diverse cancer types and its impact on oncogenic transcriptional programs. Transcriptional profiling of MYC and MED30 single or both overexpression/amplification revealed the over amount of MED30 lead MYC to a new transcriptional program that associate with poor prognosis. Mechanistically, MED30 overexpression/amplification recruits other Mediator components and binding of MYC to a small subset of novel genomic regulatory sites, changing the epigenetic marks and inducing the formation of new enhancers, which drive the expression of target genes crucial for cancer progression. In vivo studies in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) further validate the oncogenic potential of MED30, as its overexpression promotes tumor growth and can be attenuated by knockdown of MYC. Using another cancer type as an example, MED30 knockdown reduces tumor growth particularly in MYC high-expressed glioblastoma (GBM) cell lines. Overall, our study elucidates the critical role of MED30 overexpression in orchestrating oncogenic transcriptional programs and highlights its potential as a therapeutic target for MYC-amplified cancer.
摘要 了解肿瘤发生的分子机制对于开发有效的癌症疗法至关重要。在此,我们研究了不同癌症类型中 MED30 和 MYC 的共同扩增及其对致癌转录程序的影响。MYC 和 MED30 单个或同时过表达/扩增的转录谱分析显示,过量的 MED30 会导致 MYC 进入一个新的转录程序,并与不良预后有关。从机制上讲,MED30 的过量表达/扩增招募了其他 Mediator 成分,并将 MYC 与一小部分新的基因组调控位点结合,改变了表观遗传标记,诱导形成新的增强子,从而驱动对癌症进展至关重要的靶基因的表达。在胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)中进行的体内研究进一步验证了 MED30 的致癌潜力,因为它的过表达会促进肿瘤生长,而且可以通过敲除 MYC 而减弱。以另一种癌症为例,MED30 基因敲除可减少肿瘤生长,尤其是在 MYC 高表达的胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)细胞系中。总之,我们的研究阐明了 MED30 过表达在协调致癌转录程序中的关键作用,并强调了它作为 MYC 扩增癌症治疗靶点的潜力。

Abstract Visual decline in the elderly is often attributed to retinal aging, which predisposes the tissue to pathologies such as age-related macular degeneration. Currently, effective oral pharmacological interventions for retinal degeneration are limited. We present a novel oral intervention, 8-aminoguanine (8-AG), targeting age-related retinal degeneration, utilizing the aged Fischer 344 rat model. A low-dose 8-AG regimen (5 mg/kg body weight) via drinking water, beginning at 22 months for 8 weeks, demonstrated significant retinal preservation. This was evidenced by increased retinal thickness, improved photoreceptor integrity, and enhanced electroretinogram responses. 8-AG effectively reduced apoptosis, oxidative damage, and microglial/macrophage activation associated with aging retinae. Age-induced alterations in the retinal purine metabolome, characterized by elevated levels of inosine, hypoxanthine, and xanthine, were partially mitigated by 8-AG. Transcriptomics highlighted 8-AG's anti-inflammatory effects on innate and adaptive immune responses. Extended treatment to 17 weeks further amplified the retinal protective effects. Moreover, 8-AG showed temporary protective effects in the Rho P23H/+ mouse model of retinitis pigmentosa, reducing active microglia/macrophages. Our study positions 8-AG as a promising oral agent against retinal aging. Coupled with previous findings in diverse disease models, 8-AG emerges as a promising anti-aging compound with the capability to reverse common aging hallmarks.
摘要 老年人视力下降通常归因于视网膜老化,而视网膜老化容易导致视网膜组织发生病变,如老年性黄斑变性。目前,治疗视网膜变性的有效口服药物还很有限。我们利用老年 Fischer 344 大鼠模型,针对老年性视网膜变性提出了一种新型口服干预药物--8-氨基鸟嘌呤(8-AG)。从 22 个月大的大鼠开始,通过饮水摄入低剂量 8-AG (5 毫克/千克体重),持续 8 周,结果显示视网膜得到了显著的保护。具体表现为视网膜厚度增加、感光器完整性改善以及视网膜电图反应增强。8-AG 能有效减少与视网膜老化相关的细胞凋亡、氧化损伤和微胶质细胞/巨噬细胞活化。8-AG可部分缓解视网膜嘌呤代谢组中由年龄引起的变化,即肌苷、次黄嘌呤和黄嘌呤水平的升高。转录组学强调了 8-AG 对先天性和适应性免疫反应的抗炎作用。延长治疗至 17 周进一步增强了视网膜保护作用。此外,8-AG 还在 Rho P23H/+ 视网膜色素变性小鼠模型中显示出暂时的保护作用,减少了活跃的小胶质细胞/巨噬细胞。我们的研究将 8-AG 定位为一种很有前景的抗视网膜老化口服药物。结合之前在不同疾病模型中的研究结果,8-AG 是一种很有前景的抗衰老化合物,能够逆转常见的衰老特征。

Abstract In multiple myeloma (MM), increased osteoclast differentiation leads to the formation of osteolytic lesions in most MM patients. Bisphosphonates, such as zoledronic acid (ZA), are used to ameliorate bone resorption, but due to risk of serious side effects as well as the lack of repair of existing lesions, novel anti-bone resorption agents are required. Previously, the absence of osteolytic lesions in MM was strongly associated with elevated levels of cystatin M/E (CST6), a cysteine protease inhibitor, secreted by MM cells. In this study, both MM- and ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteoporotic mouse models were used to compare the effects of recombinant mouse CST6 (rmCst6) and ZA on preventing bone loss. µCT showed that rmCst6 and ZA had similar effects on improving percent bone volume, and inhibited differentiation of non-adherent bone marrow cells into mature osteoclasts. Single-cell RNA sequencing showed that rmCst6 and not ZA treatment reduced bone marrow macrophage percentage in the MM mouse model compared to controls. Protein and mRNA arrays showed that both rmCst6 and ZA significantly inhibit OVX-induced expression of inflammatory cytokines. For OVX mice, ERα protein expression in bone was brought to sham surgery level by only rmCst6 treatments. rmCst6 significantly increased mRNA and protein levels of ERα and significantly increased total intracellular estrogen concentrations for ex vivo osteoclast precursor cell cultures. Based on these results, we conclude that CST6 improves MM or OVX bone loss models by increasing the expression of estrogen receptors as well as the intracellular estrogen concentration in osteoclast precursors, inhibiting their maturation.
摘要 在多发性骨髓瘤(MM)患者中,破骨细胞分化的增加导致大多数MM患者形成溶骨性病变。双膦酸盐,如唑来膦酸(ZA),可用于改善骨吸收,但由于存在严重副作用的风险以及无法修复现有病变,因此需要新型抗骨吸收药物。此前,MM 缺乏溶骨病变与 MM 细胞分泌的半胱氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂胱抑素 M/E(CST6)水平升高密切相关。本研究使用 MM 和卵巢切除术(OVX)诱导的骨质疏松小鼠模型,比较重组小鼠 CST6(rmCst6)和 ZA 对防止骨质流失的作用。µCT显示,rmCst6和ZA对提高骨量百分比的效果相似,都能抑制非粘附骨髓细胞向成熟破骨细胞的分化。单细胞 RNA 测序显示,在 MM 小鼠模型中,与对照组相比,rmCst6 而非 ZA 治疗能降低骨髓巨噬细胞的百分比。蛋白质和 mRNA 阵列显示,rmCst6 和 ZA 都能显著抑制 OVX 诱导的炎症细胞因子的表达。rmCst6能显著提高ERα的mRNA和蛋白质水平,并能显著提高体外破骨细胞前体细胞培养物的细胞内雌激素总浓度。基于这些结果,我们得出结论:CST6 可通过增加破骨细胞前体细胞内雌激素受体的表达和细胞内雌激素浓度,抑制破骨细胞前体细胞的成熟,从而改善 MM 或 OVX 骨丢失模型。
