Epithelial ovarian cancer is the deadliest gynecologic malignancy, characterized by high metastasis. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) drives epithelial- mesenchymal transformation (EMT), a key process in tumor metastasis. Tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8)-like 2 (TIPE2) acts as a negative regulator of innate and adaptive immunity and involves in various cancers. However, its relationship with TGF-β1 in ovarian cancer and its role in reversing TGF-β1-induced EMT remain unclear. This study examined TIPE2 mRNA and protein expression using quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR), western blot and immunohistochemistry. The effects of TIPE2 overexpression and knockdown on the proliferation, migration and invasion of epithelial ovarian cancer cells were assessed through 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine, colony-forming, transwell migration and invasion assays. The relationship between TIPE2 and TGF-β1 was investigated using qRT-PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, while the interaction between TIPE2 and Smad2 was identified via co-immunoprecipitation. The results revealed that TIPE2 protein was significantly down-regulated in epithelial ovarian cancer tissues and correlated with the pathological type of tumor, patients' age, tumor differentiation degree and FIGO stage. TIPE2 and TGF-β1 appeared to play an opposite role to each other during the progression of human ovarian cancer cells. Furthermore, TIPE2 inhibited the metastasis and EMT of ovarian cancer cells by combining with Smad2 in vitro or in an intraperitoneal metastasis model. Consequently, these findings suggest that TIPE2 plays a crucial inhibitory role in ovarian cancer metastasis by modulating the TGF-β1/Smad2/EMT signaling pathway and may serve as a potential target for ovarian cancer, providing important direction for future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

上皮性卵巢癌是最致命的妇科恶性肿瘤,具有高转移性的特点。转化生长因子-β1(TGF-β1)驱动上皮-间质转化(EMT),这是肿瘤转移的关键过程。肿瘤坏死因子-α诱导蛋白 8(TNFAIP8)-like 2(TIPE2)是先天性免疫和适应性免疫的负调控因子,参与多种癌症的发生。然而,它与卵巢癌中 TGF-β1 的关系及其在逆转 TGF-β1 诱导的 EMT 中的作用仍不清楚。本研究采用定量 RT-PCR (qRT-PCR)、Western 印迹和免疫组化技术检测了 TIPE2 mRNA 和蛋白的表达。通过5-乙炔基-2-脱氧尿苷、集落形成、跨孔迁移和侵袭试验评估了TIPE2过表达和敲除对上皮性卵巢癌细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭的影响。利用 qRT-PCR 和酶联免疫吸附试验研究了 TIPE2 与 TGF-β1 之间的关系,并通过共沉淀鉴定了 TIPE2 与 Smad2 之间的相互作用。结果发现,TIPE2蛋白在上皮性卵巢癌组织中明显下调,并与肿瘤病理类型、患者年龄、肿瘤分化程度和FIGO分期相关。TIPE2和TGF-β1在人类卵巢癌细胞的发展过程中似乎起着相反的作用。此外,在体外或腹膜内转移模型中,TIPE2与Smad2结合可抑制卵巢癌细胞的转移和EMT。因此,这些研究结果表明,TIPE2通过调节TGF-β1/Smad2/EMT信号通路在卵巢癌转移过程中发挥着重要的抑制作用,可能成为卵巢癌的潜在靶点,为未来的诊断和治疗策略提供了重要方向。

Glutathione S-transferase-Pi 1 (GSTP1) is an isozyme that plays a key role in detoxification and antioxidative damage. It also confers resistance to tumor therapy. However, the specific role of GSTP1 in radiotherapy resistance in pancreatic cancer (PC) is not known. In this study, we investigated how GSTP1 imparts radioresistance in PC. The findings of previous studies and this study revealed that ionizing radiation (IR) induces ferroptosis in pancreatic cancer cells, primarily by upregulating the expression of ACSL4. Our results showed that after IR, GSTP1 prolonged the survival of pancreatic cancer cells by inhibiting ferroptosis but did not affect apoptosis. The expression of GSTP1 reduced cellular ferroptosis by decreasing the levels of ACSL4 and increasing the GSH content. These changes increase the resistance of pancreatic cancer cells and xenograft tumors to IR. Our findings indicate that ferroptosis participates in irradiation-induced cell death and that GSTP1 prevents IR-induced death of pancreatic cancer cells by inhibiting ferroptosis.

谷胱甘肽 S-transferase-Pi 1(GSTP1)是一种同工酶,在解毒和抗氧化损伤中发挥着关键作用。它还赋予肿瘤治疗抗药性。然而,GSTP1 在胰腺癌(PC)放疗耐药性中的具体作用尚不清楚。在这项研究中,我们探讨了 GSTP1 如何导致胰腺癌的放射治疗耐药性。之前的研究和本研究的结果表明,电离辐射(IR)主要通过上调 ACSL4 的表达诱导胰腺癌细胞的铁变态反应。我们的研究结果表明,IR 后,GSTP1 通过抑制铁凋亡延长了胰腺癌细胞的存活时间,但并不影响细胞凋亡。GSTP1 的表达通过降低 ACSL4 水平和增加 GSH 含量来减少细胞的铁突变。这些变化增强了胰腺癌细胞和异种移植肿瘤对红外线的抵抗力。我们的研究结果表明,铁突变参与了辐照诱导的细胞死亡,GSTP1通过抑制铁突变防止了红外诱导的胰腺癌细胞死亡。

Platelets play a crucial role in tissue regeneration, and their involvement in liver regeneration is well-established. However, the specific contribution of platelet-derived Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1 (TGFβ1) to liver regeneration remains unexplored. This study investigated the role of platelet-derived TGFβ1 in initiating liver regeneration following 2/3 liver resection. Using platelet-specific TGFβ1 knockout (Plt.TGFβ1 KO) mice and wild-type littermates (Plt.TGFβ1 WT) as controls, the study assessed circulating levels and hepatic gene expression of TGFβ1, Platelet Factor 4 (PF4), and Thrombopoietin (TPO) at early time points post-hepatectomy (post-PHx). Hepatocyte proliferation was quantified through Ki67 staining and PCNA expression in total liver lysates at various intervals, and phosphohistone-H3 (PHH3) staining was employed to mark mitotic cells. Circulating levels of hepatic mitogens, Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF), and Interleukin-6 (IL6) were also assessed. Results revealed that platelet-TGFβ1 deficiency significantly reduced total plasma TGFβ1 levels at 5 h post-PHx in Plt.TGFβ1 KO mice compared to controls. While circulating PF4 levels, liver platelet recruitment and activation appeared normal at early time points, Plt.TGFβ1 KO mice showed more stable circulating platelet numbers with higher numbers at 48 h post-PHx. Notably, hepatocyte proliferation was significantly reduced in Plt.TGFβ1 KO mice. The results show that a lack of TGFβ1 in platelets leads to an unbalanced expression of IL6 in the liver and to strongly increased HGF levels 48 h after liver resection, and yet liver regeneration remains reduced. The study identifies platelet-TGFβ1 as a regulator of hepatocyte proliferation and platelet homeostasis in the early stages of liver regeneration.

血小板在组织再生中起着至关重要的作用,其在肝脏再生中的参与已得到证实。然而,血小板衍生的转化生长因子β1(TGFβ1)对肝脏再生的具体贡献仍有待探索。本研究探讨了血小板衍生的TGFβ1在2/3肝切除术后启动肝再生中的作用。该研究使用血小板特异性 TGFβ1 基因敲除(Plt.TGFβ1 KO)小鼠和野生型同窝小鼠(Plt.TGFβ1 WT)作为对照,评估了肝切除术后(PHx 术后)早期时间点 TGFβ1、血小板因子 4(PF4)和血小板生成素(TPO)的循环水平和肝脏基因表达。肝细胞增殖通过 Ki67 染色和不同时间段总肝裂解液中 PCNA 的表达进行量化,磷脂酰-H3(PHH3)染色用于标记有丝分裂细胞。此外,还评估了肝有丝分裂原、肝细胞生长因子(HGF)和白细胞介素-6(IL6)的循环水平。结果显示,与对照组相比,Plt.TGFβ1 KO小鼠血小板-TGFβ1缺乏症会显著降低PHx后5小时的血浆TGFβ1总水平。虽然循环中的 PF4 水平、肝脏血小板募集和活化在早期看起来正常,但 Plt.TGFβ1 KO 小鼠的循环中血小板数量更稳定,在肝切除术后 48 小时血小板数量更高。值得注意的是,Plt.TGFβ1 KO 小鼠的肝细胞增殖明显减少。研究结果表明,血小板中缺乏TGFβ1会导致肝脏中IL6表达失衡,肝脏切除48小时后HGF水平大幅升高,但肝脏再生能力仍然减弱。该研究确定血小板-TGFβ1是肝细胞增殖和血小板在肝脏再生早期阶段平衡的调节因子。

Large-conductance, calcium-activated potassium channels (BK channels) and the Na/K-ATPase are expressed universally in vascular smooth muscle. The Na/K-ATPase may act via changes in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration mediated by the Na/Ca exchanger (NCX) and via Src kinase. Both pathways are known to regulate BK channels. Whether BK channels functionally interact in vascular smooth muscle cells with the Na/K-ATPase remains to be elucidated. Thus, this study addressed the hypothesis that BK channels limit ouabain-induced vasocontraction. Rat mesenteric arteries were studied using isometric myography, FURA-2 fluorimetry and proximity ligation assay. The BK channel blocker iberiotoxin potentiated methoxamine-induced contractions. The cardiotonic steroid, ouabain (10−5 M), induced a contractile effect of IBTX at basal tension prior to methoxamine administration and enhanced the pro-contractile effect of IBTX on methoxamine-induced contractions. These facilitating effects of ouabain were prevented by the inhibition of either NCX or Src kinase. Furthermore, inhibition of NCX or Src kinase reduced the BK channel-mediated negative feedback regulation of arterial contraction. The effects of NCX and Src kinase inhibition were independent of each other. Co-localization of the Na/K-ATPase and the BK channel was evident. Our data suggest that BK channels limit ouabain-induced vasocontraction by a dual mechanism involving the NCX and Src kinase signaling. The data propose that the NCX and the Src kinase pathways, mediating the ouabain-induced activation of the BK channel, act in an independent manner.

血管平滑肌中普遍存在大传导钙激活钾通道(BK 通道)和 Na/K-ATP 酶。Na/K-ATPase 可通过 Na/Ca 交换器(NCX)和 Src 激酶介导的细胞内 Ca2+ 浓度变化发挥作用。已知这两种途径都能调节 BK 通道。BK 通道在血管平滑肌细胞中是否与 Na/K-ATP 酶发生功能性相互作用仍有待阐明。因此,本研究探讨了 BK 通道限制乌苯那敏诱导的血管收缩的假设。研究人员使用等速肌电图、FURA-2荧光测定法和近距离结扎法对大鼠肠系膜动脉进行了研究。BK 通道阻断剂依比妥毒素增强了甲氧胺诱导的收缩。在给予甲氧胺之前,强心类固醇乌巴因(10-5 M)可在基础张力下诱导 IBTX 的收缩效应,并增强 IBTX 对甲氧胺诱导收缩的促进收缩效应。抑制 NCX 或 Src 激酶可阻止乌巴因的这些促进作用。此外,抑制 NCX 或 Src 激酶可减少 BK 通道介导的动脉收缩负反馈调节。抑制NCX和Src激酶的作用是相互独立的。Na/K-ATP 酶和 BK 通道的共定位是显而易见的。我们的数据表明,BK 通道通过 NCX 和 Src 激酶信号传导的双重机制限制了乌苯那敏诱导的血管收缩。这些数据表明,介导乌巴因诱导的 BK 通道激活的 NCX 和 Src 激酶途径以独立的方式发挥作用。

The sensitivity of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) to chemotherapy shows large heterogeneity. The role of miRNA in small extracellular vesicles (sEV) in chemotherapy resistance is under investigation. However, the regulation and sorting mechanism of sEV miRNAs remains unclear. In this study, small RNA sequencing was used to explore miRNA expression profiles in sEV of LSCC after cisplatin stimulation; RNA pull-down, mass spectrometry, and EMSA were used to clarify the binding of candidate RNA-binding protein (RBP) and candidate miRNA. Immunostaining and microRNA fluorescence in situ hybridization were performed to identify how candidate RBP affects miRNA stability and nuclear/cytoplasmic distribution. In vivo experiments were performed to verify the biological functions and response to cisplatin of candidate RBP. We found that cisplatin stimulation induced increased expression of miR-148a-3p and sEV sorting. ANXA11 binds to miR-148a-3p in a sequence-specific manner. ANXA11 inhibits tumor cell proliferation and drug resistance by binding to and retaining miR-148a-3p. Cisplatin stimulation reduced ANXA11 expression and promoted miR-148a-3p efflux through sEV pathways. ANXA11 overexpression reduced in vivo tumor proliferation and cisplatin-resistance. Taken together, ANXA11 mediates cisplatin resistance through sEV miRNA resorting. Mechanically, ANXA11 binds to miR-148a-3p in a sequence-specific manner to regulate its resorting and thus influences tumor proliferation and chemoresistance.

喉鳞状细胞癌(LSCC)对化疗的敏感性表现出很大的异质性。目前正在研究细胞外小泡(sEV)中的miRNA在化疗耐药性中的作用。然而,sEV miRNA 的调控和分类机制仍不清楚。本研究利用小RNA测序技术探讨了顺铂刺激后LSCC sEV中miRNA的表达谱;利用RNA牵引、质谱分析和EMSA明确了候选RNA结合蛋白(RBP)与候选miRNA的结合。通过免疫染色和 microRNA 荧光原位杂交鉴定候选 RBP 如何影响 miRNA 的稳定性和核/胞质分布。为了验证候选 RBP 的生物功能和对顺铂的反应,我们进行了体内实验。我们发现,顺铂刺激会诱导 miR-148a-3p 的表达增加和 sEV 排序。ANXA11 以序列特异性的方式与 miR-148a-3p 结合。ANXA11通过与miR-148a-3p结合并保留miR-148a-3p来抑制肿瘤细胞的增殖和耐药性。顺铂刺激会降低 ANXA11 的表达,并促进 miR-148a-3p 通过 sEV 途径外流。ANXA11 的过表达减少了体内肿瘤增殖和顺铂耐药性。综上所述,ANXA11通过sEV miRNA诉诸介导顺铂抗性。从机理上讲,ANXA11以序列特异性的方式与miR-148a-3p结合,调节其转归,从而影响肿瘤增殖和化疗耐药性。

Tendons enable locomotion by transmitting high tensile mechanical forces between muscle and bone via their dense extracellular matrix (ECM). The application of extrinsic mechanical stimuli via muscle contraction is necessary to regulate healthy tendon function. Specifically, applied physiological levels of mechanical loading elicit an anabolic tendon cell response, while decreased mechanical loading evokes a degradative tendon state. Although the tendon response to mechanical stimuli has implications in disease pathogenesis and clinical treatment strategies, the cell signaling mechanisms by which tendon cells sense and respond to mechanical stimuli within the native tendon ECM remain largely unknown. Therefore, we explored the role of cell–ECM adhesions in regulating tendon cell mechanotransduction by perturbing the genetic expression and signaling activity of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) through both in vitro and in vivo approaches. We determined that FAK regulates tendon cell spreading behavior and focal adhesion morphology, nuclear deformation in response to applied mechanical strain, and mechanosensitive gene expression. In addition, our data reveal that FAK signaling plays an essential role in in vivo tendon development and postnatal growth, as FAK-knockout mouse tendons demonstrated reduced tendon size, altered mechanical properties, differences in cellular composition, and reduced maturity of the deposited ECM. These data provide a foundational understanding of the role of FAK signaling as a critical regulator of in situ tendon cell mechanotransduction. Importantly, an increased understanding of tendon cell mechanotransductive mechanisms may inform clinical practice as well as lead to the discovery of diagnostic and/or therapeutic molecular targets.

肌腱通过其致密的细胞外基质(ECM)在肌肉和骨骼之间传递高拉伸机械力,从而实现运动。通过肌肉收缩施加外在机械刺激是调节肌腱健康功能的必要条件。具体来说,施加生理水平的机械负荷会引起肌腱细胞的合成代谢反应,而减少机械负荷则会引起肌腱的退化状态。虽然肌腱对机械刺激的反应对疾病发病机制和临床治疗策略有影响,但肌腱细胞在原生肌腱 ECM 中感知和响应机械刺激的细胞信号机制在很大程度上仍是未知的。因此,我们通过体外和体内方法扰乱了焦点粘附激酶(FAK)的基因表达和信号活性,从而探索了细胞-ECM粘附在调节肌腱细胞机械传导中的作用。我们确定 FAK 可调控肌腱细胞的扩散行为和局灶粘附形态、对施加的机械应变的核变形以及机械敏感基因的表达。此外,我们的数据还揭示了 FAK 信号在体内肌腱发育和出生后生长中的重要作用,因为 FAK 基因敲除的小鼠肌腱表现出肌腱尺寸减小、机械性能改变、细胞组成差异以及沉积的 ECM 成熟度降低。这些数据为了解 FAK 信号作为肌腱细胞原位机械传导的关键调节因子的作用提供了基础。重要的是,加深对肌腱细胞机械传导机制的了解不仅能为临床实践提供依据,还能发现诊断和/或治疗的分子靶点。

The function of hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 12 (HSD17B12) in lipid metabolism is poorly understood. To study this further, we created mice with hepatocyte-specific knockout of HSD17B12 (LiB12cKO). From 2 months on, these mice showed significant fat accumulation in their liver. As they aged, they also had a reduced whole-body fat percentage. Interestingly, the liver fat accumulation did not result in the typical formation of large lipid droplets (LD); instead, small droplets were more prevalent. Thus, LiB12KO liver did not show increased macrovesicular steatosis with the increasing fat content, while microvesicular steatosis was the predominant feature in the liver. This indicates a failure in the LD expansion. This was associated with liver damage, presumably due to lipotoxicity. Notably, the lipidomics data did not support an essential role of HSD17B12 in fatty acid (FA) elongation. However, we did observe a decrease in the quantity of specific lipid species that contain FAs with carbon chain lengths of 18 and 20 atoms, including oleic acid. Of these, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine have been shown to play a key role in LD formation, and a limited amount of these lipids could be part of the mechanism leading to the dysfunction in LD expansion. The increase in the Cidec expression further supported the deficiency in LD expansion in the LiB12cKO liver. This protein is crucial for the fusion and growth of LDs, along with the downregulation of several members of the major urinary protein family of proteins, which have recently been shown to be altered during endoplasmic reticulum stress.

人们对羟基类固醇脱氢酶 12(HSD17B12)在脂质代谢中的功能知之甚少。为了进一步研究这个问题,我们制作了肝细胞特异性敲除 HSD17B12 的小鼠(LiB12cKO)。从 2 个月起,这些小鼠的肝脏就出现了明显的脂肪堆积。随着年龄的增长,它们的全身脂肪比例也有所下降。有趣的是,肝脏脂肪堆积并没有形成典型的大脂滴(LD),相反,小脂滴更为普遍。因此,随着脂肪含量的增加,LiB12KO 的肝脏并没有出现大泡性脂肪变性,而微泡性脂肪变性则是肝脏的主要特征。这表明低密度扩展失败。这与肝损伤有关,可能是由于脂肪毒性造成的。值得注意的是,脂质组学数据并不支持 HSD17B12 在脂肪酸(FA)伸长中的重要作用。不过,我们确实观察到含有碳链长度为 18 和 20 个原子的脂肪酸(包括油酸)的特定脂质种类的数量有所减少。其中,磷脂酰胆碱和磷脂酰乙醇胺已被证明在 LD 的形成中发挥了关键作用,这些脂质的数量有限可能是导致 LD 扩展功能障碍的部分机制。Cidec表达的增加进一步证实了LiB12cKO肝脏中LD扩增的缺陷。这种蛋白质对LD的融合和生长至关重要,同时也会下调主要尿蛋白家族中的几种蛋白,最近的研究表明,这些蛋白在内质网应激时会发生改变。

In clinical settings, addressing large bone defects remains a significant challenge for orthopedic surgeons. The use of genetically modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) has emerged as a highly promising approach for these treatments. Signal peptide-CUB-EGF domain-containing protein 3 (SCUBE3) is a multifunctional secreted glycoprotein, the role of which remains unclear in human hBMSCs. This study used various experimental methods to elucidate the potential mechanism by which SCUBE3 influences osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs in vitro. Additionally, the therapeutic efficacy of SCUBE3, in conjunction with porous GeLMA microspheres, was evaluated in vivo using a mouse bone defect model. Our findings indicate that SCUBE3 levels increase significantly during early osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs, and that reducing SCUBE3 levels can hinder this differentiation. Overexpressing SCUBE3 elevated osteogenesis gene and protein levels and enhanced calcium deposition. Furthermore, treatment with recombinant human SCUBE3 (rhSCUBE3) protein boosted BMP2 and TGF-β expression, activated mitophagy in hBMSCs, ameliorated oxidative stress, and restored osteogenic function through SMAD phosphorylation. In vivo, GELMA/OE treatment effectively accelerated bone healing in mice. In conclusion, SCUBE3 fosters osteogenic differentiation and mitophagy in hBMSCs by activating the BMP2/TGF-β signaling pathway. When combined with engineered hydrogel cell therapy, it could offer valuable guidance for the clinical management of extensive bone defects.

在临床环境中,处理大面积骨缺损仍是骨科医生面临的一项重大挑战。使用转基因骨髓间充质干细胞(BMSCs)已成为一种极具前景的治疗方法。信号肽-CUB-EGF结构域含蛋白3(SCUBE3)是一种多功能分泌型糖蛋白,其在人骨髓间充质干细胞中的作用尚不清楚。本研究采用多种实验方法阐明了 SCUBE3 在体外影响 hBMSCs 成骨分化的潜在机制。此外,我们还利用小鼠骨缺损模型评估了 SCUBE3 与多孔 GeLMA 微球在体内的治疗效果。我们的研究结果表明,在 hBMSCs 早期成骨分化过程中,SCUBE3 水平会显著增加,而降低 SCUBE3 水平会阻碍这种分化。过表达 SCUBE3 可提高成骨基因和蛋白水平,并增强钙沉积。此外,用重组人 SCUBE3(rhSCUBE3)蛋白处理可促进 BMP2 和 TGF-β 的表达,激活 hBMSCs 的有丝分裂,改善氧化应激,并通过 SMAD 磷酸化恢复成骨功能。在体内,GELMA/OE 治疗可有效加速小鼠的骨愈合。总之,SCUBE3 可通过激活 BMP2/TGF-β 信号通路促进 hBMSCs 的成骨分化和有丝分裂。当与工程水凝胶细胞疗法相结合时,它可为临床治疗大面积骨缺损提供有价值的指导。

Pro-inflammatory cytokines in muscle play a pivotal role in physiological responses and in the pathophysiology of inflammatory disease and muscle atrophy. Lactobacillus delbrueckii (LD), as a kind of probiotics, has inhibitory effects on pro-inflammatory cytokines associated with various inflammatory diseases. This study was conducted to explore the effect of dietary LD on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)—induced muscle inflammation and atrophy in piglets and to elucidate the underlying mechanism. A total of 36 weaned piglets (Duroc × Landrace × Large Yorkshire) were allotted into three groups with six replicates (pens) of two piglets: (1) Nonchallenged control; (2) LPS-challenged (LPS); (3) 0.2% LD diet and LPS-challenged (LD+LPS). On d 29, the piglets were injected intraperitoneally with LPS or sterilized saline, respectively. All piglets were slaughtered at 4 h after LPS or saline injection, the blood and muscle samples were collected for further analysis. Our results showed that dietary supplementation of LD significantly attenuated LPS-induced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α in both serum and muscle of the piglets. Concomitantly, pretreating the piglets with LD also clearly inhibited LPS-induced nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 subunits in the muscle, which correlated with the anti-inflammatory effects of LD on the muscle of piglets. Meanwhile, LPS-induced muscle atrophy, indicated by a higher expression of muscle atrophy F-box, muscle RING finger protein (MuRF1), forkhead box O 1, and autophagy-related protein 5 (ATG5) at the transcriptional level, whereas pretreatment with LD led to inhibition of these upregulations, particularly genes for MuRF1 and ATG5. Moreover, LPS-induced mRNA expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress markers, such as eukaryotic translational initiation factor 2α (eIF-2α) was suppressed by pretreatment with LD, which was accompanied by a decrease in the protein expression levels of IRE1α and GRP78. Additionally, LD significantly prevented muscle cell apoptotic death induced by LPS. Taken together, our data indicate that the anti-inflammatory effect of LD supply on muscle atrophy of piglets could be likely regulated by inhibiting the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines through the inactivation of the ER stress/NF-κB singling pathway, along with the reduction in protein degradation.

肌肉中的促炎细胞因子在生理反应以及炎症性疾病和肌肉萎缩的病理生理学中起着关键作用。德尔布鲁贝克乳杆菌(LD)作为一种益生菌,对与各种炎症疾病相关的促炎细胞因子具有抑制作用。本研究旨在探讨膳食 LD 对脂多糖(LPS)诱导的仔猪肌肉炎症和萎缩的影响,并阐明其潜在机制。将36头断奶仔猪(杜洛克×兰德良种×大约克夏)分为三组,每组2头,共6个重复(栏):(1) 无挑战对照组;(2) LPS挑战组(LPS);(3) 0.2% LD日粮和LPS挑战组(LD+LPS)。第 29 天,分别给仔猪腹腔注射 LPS 或灭菌生理盐水。所有仔猪在注射 LPS 或生理盐水后 4 小时屠宰,并采集血液和肌肉样本进行进一步分析。结果表明,膳食中添加 LD 能显著减少 LPS 诱导的血清和肌肉中促炎细胞因子 IL-6 和 TNF-α 的产生。同时,用 LD 预处理仔猪还能明显抑制 LPS 诱导的 NF-κB p65 亚基在肌肉中的核转位,这与 LD 对仔猪肌肉的抗炎作用有关。同时,LPS诱导的肌肉萎缩表现为肌肉萎缩F-box、肌肉RING指蛋白(MuRF1)、叉头盒O 1和自噬相关蛋白5(ATG5)在转录水平的高表达,而LD预处理可抑制这些基因的上调,尤其是MuRF1和ATG5基因。此外,LPS 诱导的内质网应激标志物(如真核翻译起始因子 2α(eIF-2α))的 mRNA 表达也受到 LD 预处理的抑制,同时 IRE1α 和 GRP78 的蛋白表达水平也有所下降。此外,LD 还能明显阻止 LPS 诱导的肌肉细胞凋亡。综上所述,我们的数据表明,LD对仔猪肌肉萎缩的抗炎作用可能是通过抑制ER应激/NF-κB单链途径来抑制促炎细胞因子的分泌,同时减少蛋白质降解。

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a life-threatening autoimmune disease characterized by widespread fibrosis in the skin and several internal organs. Nudix Hydrolase 21 (NUDT2 or CFIm25) downregulation in fibroblasts is known to play detrimental roles in both skin and lung fibrosis. This study aims to investigate the upstream mechanisms that lead to NUDT21 repression in skin fibrosis. We identified transforming growth factor β (TGFβ1) as the primary cytokine that downregulated NUDT21 in normal skin fibroblasts. In the bleomycin-induced dermal fibrosis model, consistent with the peak activation of TGFβ1 at the late fibrotic stage, NUDT21 was downregulated at this stage, and delayed NUDT21 knockdown during this fibrotic phase led to enhanced fibrotic response to bleomycin. Further investigation suggested TGFβ downregulated NUDT21 through microRNA (miRNA) 181a and 181b induction. Both miR-181a and miR-181b were elevated in bleomycin-induced skin fibrosis in mice and primary fibroblasts isolated from SSc patients, and they directly targeted NUDT21 and led to its downregulation in skin fibroblasts. Functional studies demonstrated that miR-181a and miR-181b inhibitors attenuated bleomycin-induced skin fibrosis in mice in association with decreased NUDT21 expression, while miR-181a and miR-181b mimics promoted bleomycin-induced fibrosis. Overall, these findings suggest a novel role for miR-181a/b in SSc pathogenesis by repressing NUDT21 expression.

系统性硬化症(SSc)是一种危及生命的自身免疫性疾病,其特点是皮肤和多个内脏器官广泛纤维化。众所周知,成纤维细胞中的Nudix水解酶21(NUDT2或CFIm25)下调在皮肤和肺部纤维化中起着有害作用。本研究旨在探讨导致皮肤纤维化中 NUDT21 受抑的上游机制。我们发现转化生长因子β(TGFβ1)是下调正常皮肤成纤维细胞中 NUDT21 的主要细胞因子。在博莱霉素诱导的真皮纤维化模型中,TGFβ1在纤维化晚期达到激活峰值,NUDT21在此阶段被下调,在此纤维化阶段延迟敲除NUDT21会导致对博莱霉素的纤维化反应增强。进一步研究表明,TGFβ通过诱导微RNA(miRNA)181a和181b下调NUDT21。miR-181a和miR-181b在博莱霉素诱导的小鼠皮肤纤维化和分离自SSc患者的原代成纤维细胞中均升高,它们直接靶向NUDT21并导致其在皮肤成纤维细胞中下调。功能研究表明,miR-181a和miR-181b抑制剂可减轻博莱霉素诱导的小鼠皮肤纤维化,同时降低NUDT21的表达,而miR-181a和miR-181b模拟物可促进博莱霉素诱导的纤维化。总之,这些研究结果表明,miR-181a/b 可抑制 NUDT21 的表达,从而在 SSc 发病机制中发挥新的作用。

Overall, these findings suggest a novel role for miR-181a/b in SSc pathogenesis by repressing NUDT21 expression.</p>","PeriodicalId":50455,"journal":{"name":"FASEB Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142165605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
