The insular cortex is a multifunctional and richly connected region of the cerebral cortex, critical in the neural integration of external stimuli and internal signals. Well-served for this role by a large network of afferent and efferent connections, the mouse insula can be simplified into an anterior, medial and posterior portion. Here we focus on the medial subregion, a once over-looked area that has gained recent attention for its involvement in an array of behaviours. Although the connections of medial insular cortex neurons have been previously identified, their precise glutamatergic phenotype remains undefined (typically defined by the presence of the subtype of vesicular glutamate transporters). Hence, we combined Cre knock-in mouse lines and adeno-associated viral tracing to distinguish between the expression of the two major vesicular glutamate transporters, type 1 (vGlut1) and 2 (vGlut2), in the subregion's neuronal inputs and outputs. Our results determined that the medial insula has extensive glutamatergic efferents expressing both vGlut1 and vGlut2 throughout the neuraxis. In contrast, a more conservative number of glutamatergic inputs were observed, with exclusively vGlut2+ projections received from hypothalamic and thalamic regions. Taken together, we demonstrate that vGlut1- and vGlut2-expressing networks of this insular subdivision have distinct connectivity patterns, including a greater abundance of vGlut1+ fibres innervating hypothalamic regions and the extended amygdala. These findings provide insight into the distinct chemo-architecture of this region, which may facilitate further investigation into the role of the medial insula in complex behaviour.

岛叶皮层是大脑皮层中一个功能多样、联系丰富的区域,在外部刺激和内部信号的神经整合中起着关键作用。通过庞大的传入和传出连接网络,小鼠岛叶可简化为前部、内侧和后部。在这里,我们重点讨论内侧亚区,这个曾经被忽视的区域最近因参与一系列行为而受到关注。虽然内侧岛叶皮层神经元的连接已被确定,但其准确的谷氨酸能表型仍未确定(通常是通过存在亚型的囊泡谷氨酸转运体来定义)。因此,我们结合 Cre 基因敲入小鼠品系和腺相关病毒追踪,以区分该亚区域神经元输入和输出中两种主要的谷氨酸囊泡转运体 1 型(vGlut1)和 2 型(vGlut2)的表达情况。我们的研究结果表明,内侧岛叶在整个神经轴中有大量同时表达 vGlut1 和 vGlut2 的谷氨酸传出。相比之下,我们观察到的谷氨酸能输入的数量更为保守,只有来自下丘脑和丘脑区域的 vGlut2+ 投射。总之,我们证明了这个岛状亚区的vGlut1-和vGlut2-表达网络具有不同的连接模式,包括更多的vGlut1+纤维支配下丘脑区域和扩展的杏仁核。这些发现有助于深入了解该区域独特的化学结构,从而有助于进一步研究内侧岛叶在复杂行为中的作用。

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the accumulation of misfolded α-synuclein (α-syn). Promoting the degradation of misfolded proteins has been shown to be an effective approach to alleviate PD. This review highlights the roles of specific heat shock proteins (HSPs) in modulating α-syn aggregation and neuronal survival. HSP27 prevents glycosylation-induced α-syn aggregation, disrupts copper ion interactions, inhibits mitochondrial apoptosis, and prevents dopaminergic neuronal cell death. HSP70 alleviates dopaminergic neuronal damage by promoting mitophagy and preventing neuronal apoptosis. HSC70 plays a critical role in chaperone-mediated autophagy and facilitates lysosomal degradation. GRP78 mitigates abnormal protein aggregation. The HSP70-HSP40-HSP110 system is capable of degrading α-syn amyloid fibers. Inhibition of HSP90 expression protects neurons. Further research should prioritize developing regulators of HSPs as treatments for PD. While HSPs offer promise in PD management, their complex roles necessitate cautious therapeutic development to harness their potential. Understanding the specific roles of different HSPs will be essential to developing effective therapies for α-syn clearance.

帕金森病(PD)的特征是折叠错误的α-突触核蛋白(α-syn)的积累。促进错误折叠蛋白的降解已被证明是缓解帕金森病的有效方法。本综述强调了特定热休克蛋白(HSP)在调节α-syn聚集和神经元存活方面的作用。HSP27可防止糖基化诱导的α-syn聚集,破坏铜离子相互作用,抑制线粒体凋亡,防止多巴胺能神经细胞死亡。HSP70 可通过促进有丝分裂和防止神经元凋亡来减轻多巴胺能神经元损伤。HSC70 在伴侣介导的自噬中发挥关键作用,并促进溶酶体降解。GRP78 可减轻异常蛋白质聚集。HSP70-HSP40-HSP110 系统能够降解 α-syn 淀粉样纤维。抑制 HSP90 的表达可保护神经元。进一步的研究应优先开发 HSPs 的调节剂,以治疗帕金森病。尽管HSPs在帕金森病的治疗中大有可为,但由于其作用复杂,因此有必要谨慎开发治疗方法以挖掘其潜力。了解不同HSPs的特定作用对于开发清除α-syn的有效疗法至关重要。

The investigation into relaxin (RLN), additional RLN-like proteins, and RLN family peptide receptors (RXFP) has demonstrated their role in modulating the extracellular matrix (ECM), immune cells, specifically macrophages, and angiogenesis, with recent evidence showing an effect on signaling pathways in tumor cells. These findings serve as the basis for our narrative review to collate pertinent studies in this field and provide our perspective on their clinical and investigational significance. In the article, we discuss findings from pertinent studies focusing on evaluating the expression or effect of RLN1, RLN2, or RXFP1 in various cancers. We also briefly discuss the potential role that other RLN family peptides and their receptors play in cancer. Specifically, we delve into questions regarding RLN signaling in terms of parity/pregnancy-associated protection from mammary tumors, expression in tumors, detection in serum in the setting of cancers, effect on tumor-adjacent cells, effect on tumorigenesis depending on endogenous expression or delivery, and last, but not the least, impact on the effectiveness of anti-cancer therapies. We expect that summarizing the available literature to answer these questions will allow readers to understand the role of RLN-receptor interaction in cancer as well as identify areas of uncertainty and avenues for future investigation.
对松弛素 (RLN)、其他 RLN 类蛋白和 RLN 家族肽受体 (RXFP) 的研究表明,它们在调节细胞外基质 (ECM)、免疫细胞(尤其是巨噬细胞)和血管生成方面发挥作用,最近的证据还显示它们对肿瘤细胞的信号通路产生影响。我们以这些发现为基础,对这一领域的相关研究进行了整理,并对其临床和研究意义提出了自己的看法。在文章中,我们将讨论相关研究的发现,重点评估 RLN1、RLN2 或 RXFP1 在各种癌症中的表达或作用。我们还简要讨论了其他 RLN 家族多肽及其受体在癌症中的潜在作用。具体来说,我们将从以下几个方面深入探讨 RLN 信号转导的相关问题:与奇偶性/妊娠相关的乳腺肿瘤保护、肿瘤中的表达、癌症情况下血清中的检测、对肿瘤邻近细胞的影响、根据内源性表达或传递对肿瘤发生的影响,以及最后但并非最不重要的一点,对抗癌疗法有效性的影响。我们希望通过总结现有文献来回答这些问题,能让读者了解 RLN 与受体相互作用在癌症中的作用,并找出不确定的领域和未来研究的方向。

Obesity, characterized by excessive fat accumulation in white adipose tissue (WAT), is linked to numerous health issues, including insulin resistance (IR), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). The distribution of adipose tissue differs by sex, with men typically exhibiting android adiposity and pre-menopausal women displaying gynecoid adiposity. After menopause, women have an increased risk of developing android-type obesity, IR, and DM2. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are important in treating obesity and DM2 by regulating insulin secretion, impacting glucose and lipid metabolism. GLP-1Rs are found in various tissues including the pancreas, brain, and adipose tissue. Studies suggest GLP-1RAs and estrogen replacement therapies have similar effects on tissues like the liver, central nervous system, and WAT, probably by converging pathways involving protein kinases.
To investigate these interactions, female rats underwent ovariectomy (OVR) to promote a state of estrogen deficiency. After 20 days, the rats were euthanized and the tissues were incubated with 10 μM of liraglutide, a GLP-1RA. Results showed significant changes in metabolic parameters: OVR increased lipid catabolism in perirenal WAT and basal lipolysis in subcutaneous WAT, while liraglutide treatment enhanced stimulated lipolysis in subcutaneous WAT. Liver responses included increased stimulated lipolysis with liraglutide. Transcriptome analysis revealed distinct gene expression patterns in WAT of OVR rats and those treated with GLP-1RA, highlighting pathways related to lipid and glucose metabolism. Functional enrichment analysis showed estrogen’s pivotal role in these pathways, influencing genes involved in lipid metabolism regulation.
Overall, the study underscores GLP-1RA acting directly on adipose tissues and highlights the complex interactions between GLP-1 and estrogen in regulating metabolism, suggesting potential synergistic therapeutic effects in treating metabolic disorders like obesity and DM2.
肥胖症的特征是白色脂肪组织(WAT)中脂肪堆积过多,它与许多健康问题有关,包括胰岛素抵抗(IR)和 2 型糖尿病(DM2)。脂肪组织的分布因性别而异,男性通常表现为甲状腺肥大,绝经前女性则表现为妇科类肥胖。绝经后,女性患雌激素型肥胖、IR 和 DM2 的风险增加。胰高血糖素样肽 1(GLP-1)受体激动剂(GLP-1RAs)通过调节胰岛素分泌、影响葡萄糖和脂质代谢,对治疗肥胖症和 DM2 具有重要作用。GLP-1Rs 存在于多种组织中,包括胰腺、大脑和脂肪组织。研究表明,GLP-1RAs 和雌激素替代疗法对肝脏、中枢神经系统和脂肪组织等组织有类似的影响,可能是通过涉及蛋白激酶的汇合途径来实现的。为了研究这些相互作用,雌性大鼠接受了卵巢切除术(OVR),以促进雌激素缺乏状态。20 天后,对大鼠实施安乐死,并用 10 μM 的利拉鲁肽(一种 GLP-1RA 药物)培养大鼠组织。结果显示,代谢参数发生了明显变化:OVR增加了肾周WAT的脂质分解和皮下WAT的基础脂肪分解,而利拉鲁肽治疗则增强了皮下WAT的刺激性脂肪分解。肝脏的反应包括利拉鲁肽刺激性脂肪分解的增加。转录组分析显示,OVR大鼠和接受GLP-1RA治疗的大鼠脂肪中的基因表达模式截然不同,突出了与脂质和葡萄糖代谢相关的通路。功能富集分析表明,雌激素在这些通路中起着关键作用,影响着参与脂质代谢调节的基因。总之,该研究强调了 GLP-1RA 直接作用于脂肪组织,并突出了 GLP-1 和雌激素在调节新陈代谢方面复杂的相互作用,这表明在治疗肥胖和 DM2 等代谢性疾病方面具有潜在的协同治疗效果。

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a degenerative brain disorder characterized by progressive cognitive decline and neuronal death due to extracellular deposition of amyloid β (Aβ) and intracellular deposition of tau proteins. Recently approved antibody drugs targeting Aβ have been shown to slow the progression of the disease, but they have minimal effects on cognitive improvement. Therefore, there is a need to develop drugs with cognitive-enhancing effects that can be used in conjunction with these antibody treatments. In this study, we investigated whether Polygala tenuifolia (PT), traditionally known for its cognitive-enhancing effects, can improve synaptic plasticity and identified its active components and mechanisms. PT demonstrated a dose-dependent effect in enhancing long-term potentiation (LTP), and among its components, 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid methyl ester (TMCA) showed a similar LTP-enhancing effect. TMCA increased the phosphorylation of the GluA1 subunit of the α-Amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors and increased the amount of GluA1 on the synapse without affecting the amount of GluA2. Additionally, the increase in GluA1 induced by TMCA was inhibited by a PKA inhibitor. Consistent with these results, the enhancement of LTP by TMCA was inhibited by a GluA1 antagonist and a PKA inhibitor. In silico molecular docking experiments confirmed that TMCA binds to PKA. Finally, we confirmed the LTP-enhancing effect of TMCA in hippocampal slices from 5XFAD mice. These results suggest that PT and its active component, TMCA, can interact with PKA to enhance LTP, indicating the potential for improving cognitive function in AD patients.
阿尔茨海默病(AD)是一种退行性脑部疾病,其特征是由于淀粉样蛋白β(Aβ)在细胞外沉积和tau蛋白在细胞内沉积而导致认知能力逐渐下降和神经元死亡。最近批准的针对 Aβ 的抗体药物已被证明可以减缓疾病的进展,但对认知能力的改善作用甚微。因此,有必要开发具有增强认知能力作用的药物,以便与这些抗体治疗同时使用。在这项研究中,我们研究了传统上以增强认知能力而闻名的远志(Polygala tenuifolia,PT)能否改善突触可塑性,并确定了其活性成分和机制。PT在增强长期电位(LTP)方面表现出剂量依赖性效应,其成分中的3,4,5-三甲氧基肉桂酸甲酯(TMCA)也表现出类似的LTP增强效应。TMCA 增加了α-氨基-3-羟基-5-甲基-4-异恶唑丙酸受体 GluA1 亚基的磷酸化,并增加了突触上 GluA1 的数量,而不影响 GluA2 的数量。此外,TMCA 诱导的 GluA1 的增加受到 PKA 抑制剂的抑制。与这些结果一致的是,TMCA 对 LTP 的增强作用受到 GluA1 拮抗剂和 PKA 抑制剂的抑制。硅学分子对接实验证实了 TMCA 与 PKA 的结合。最后,我们证实了 TMCA 在 5XFAD 小鼠海马切片中的 LTP 增强效应。这些结果表明,PT 及其活性成分 TMCA 可与 PKA 相互作用,增强 LTP,从而有望改善 AD 患者的认知功能。

Crosstalk between non-coding RNA and apoptotic signaling in diabetic nephropathy 糖尿病肾病中非编码 RNA 与细胞凋亡信号之间的相互影响

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a leading cause of end-stage renal disease in diabetes mellitus. It is also a significant contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients Thereby, Innovative therapeutic approaches are needed to retard the initiation and advancement of DN. Hyperglycemia can induce apoptosis, a regulated form of cell death, in multiple renal cell types, such as podocytes, mesangial cells, and proximal tubule epithelial cells, ultimately contributing to the pathogenesis of DN. Recent genome-wide investigations have revealed the widespread transcription of the human genome, resulting in the production of numerous regulatory non-protein-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs) and diverse categories of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). They play a critical role in preserving physiological homeostasis, while their dysregulation has been implicated in a broad spectrum of disorders, including DN. Considering the established association between apoptotic processes and the expression of ncRNAs in DN, a thorough understanding of their intricate interplay is essential. Therefore, the current work thoroughly analyzes the intricate interplay among miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circular RNAs in the context of apoptosis within the pathogenesis of DN.

糖尿病肾病(DN)是糖尿病终末期肾病的主要病因。因此,需要创新的治疗方法来延缓糖尿病肾病的发生和发展。高血糖可诱导多种肾细胞类型(如荚膜细胞、间质细胞和近端肾小管上皮细胞)发生细胞凋亡(一种细胞死亡的调节形式),最终导致 DN 的发病。最近的全基因组调查显示,人类基因组广泛转录,产生了大量调控性非蛋白编码 RNA(ncRNA),包括微 RNA(miRNA)和各种长非编码 RNA(lncRNA)。它们在维持生理平衡方面发挥着关键作用,而它们的失调则与包括 DN 在内的多种疾病有关。考虑到 DN 中细胞凋亡过程与 ncRNAs 表达之间已确立的联系,彻底了解它们之间错综复杂的相互作用至关重要。因此,本研究深入分析了 DN 发病机制中细胞凋亡背景下 miRNA、lncRNA 和环状 RNA 之间错综复杂的相互作用。此外,在最后一部分,我们证明了 ncRNA 介导的细胞凋亡调节可通过干细胞衍生的外泌体和草药实现,为治疗 DN 提供了潜在的途径。

Innate immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) play an important role in breast cancer (BC) metastatic spread and influence patient survival. Macrophages differentiate along a proinflammatory M1 to protumorigenic M2 phenotype spectrum which affects distinct functions, like angiogenesis and cytokine production, and modulates BC aggressiveness and affects patient survival. Mast cells (MCs) are myeloid derived cells that serve as the first line of innate immune defense but their role in the TME of BC is not well understood. In this study, we have identified a subpopulation of innate immune cells that shows strong immunopositivity for the least studied adipokine CTRP8. Using a new and highly specific polyclonal antiserum on patient BC tissues, we identify a subset of tryptase + MCs and CD68 + macrophages co-expressing immunoreactive CTRP8. In M1 polarized THP-1 myeloid cells, this adipokine stimulated increased secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and elevated expression of the relaxin/ CTRP8 receptor RXFP1. Comparative analysis of secreted cytokine profiles in THP-1 M1 macrophages exposed to either CTRP8, relaxin-2 (RLN2), or the small molecule RXFP1 agonist ML-290 revealed ligand-specific cytokine signatures. Our study identified novel subsets of CTRP8 + myeloid derived innate immune cells and links this adipokine to pro-inflammatory events in the TME of BC.

肿瘤微环境(TME)中的先天性免疫细胞在乳腺癌(BC)转移扩散和影响患者生存方面发挥着重要作用。巨噬细胞沿着促炎 M1 到促瘤 M2 的表型谱分化,这影响了不同的功能,如血管生成和细胞因子的产生,并调节乳腺癌的侵袭性和影响患者的生存。肥大细胞(MCs)是髓系衍生细胞,是先天性免疫防御的第一道防线,但它们在BC的TME中的作用尚不十分清楚。在这项研究中,我们发现了一个先天性免疫细胞亚群,该亚群对研究最少的脂肪因子 CTRP8 具有很强的免疫阳性反应。利用一种针对 BC 患者组织的新型高特异性多克隆抗血清,我们确定了一个共同表达免疫活性 CTRP8 的胰蛋白酶 + MCs 和 CD68 + 巨噬细胞亚群。在 M1 极化的 THP-1 髓细胞中,这种脂肪因子刺激促炎细胞因子分泌增加,松弛素/CTRP8 受体 RXFP1 的表达升高。对暴露于 CTRP8、松弛素-2(RLN2)或小分子 RXFP1 激动剂 ML-290 的 THP-1 M1 巨噬细胞分泌的细胞因子谱进行比较分析,发现了配体特异性细胞因子特征。我们的研究发现了新的 CTRP8 + 髓源性先天免疫细胞亚群,并将这种脂肪因子与 BC TME 中的促炎事件联系起来。

Osteoporosis is a common degenerative bone disease in middle-aged and elderly people. The current drugs used to treat osteoporosis have many side effects and low patient compliance. Phytochemotherapy may be safer and more effective. 3,3′-diindolemethane (DIM) is the digestive product of indole-3-methanol in cruciferous vegetables in the stomach, which is a kind of anti-tumor and anti-oxidation phytochemical. However, the effects of DIM on osteoblasts and the mechanism by which DIM regulates bone formation are not fully understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of DIM on the bone formation of mouse preosteoblasts MC3T3-E1 and zebrafish. DIM promotes proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells in vitro, and also plays a bone promoting role by increasing the interaction between BRCA1-Associated Protein 1(BAP1) and Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate Receptor(IP3R), up-regulating the expression of BAP1 and IP3R and downstream storage operation calcium entry (SOCE) related protein Recombinant Stromal Interaction Molecule 1(STIM1). The effect of DIM on osteoporosis was confirmed in zebrafish osteoporosis model, and its molecular mechanism may be related to BAP1/IP3R/SOCE signaling pathway. These findings highlight the potential therapeutic value of DIM in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.
骨质疏松症是中老年人常见的退行性骨病。目前用于治疗骨质疏松症的药物副作用大,患者依从性低。植物化学疗法可能更安全、更有效。3,3'-二吲哚甲烷(DIM)是十字花科蔬菜中的吲哚-3-甲醇在胃中的消化产物,是一种抗肿瘤、抗氧化的植物化学物质。然而,DIM 对成骨细胞的影响以及 DIM 调节骨形成的机制尚未完全清楚。本研究旨在探讨 DIM 对小鼠前成骨细胞 MC3T3-E1 和斑马鱼骨形成的影响。DIM能促进体外MC3T3-E1细胞的增殖和成骨分化,还能通过增加BRCA1相关蛋白1(BAP1)和1,4,5-三磷酸肌醇受体(IP3R)之间的相互作用、上调BAP1和IP3R以及下游贮存操作钙离子进入(SOCE)相关蛋白重组基质相互作用分子1(STIM1)的表达,发挥促骨作用。在斑马鱼骨质疏松症模型中证实了 DIM 对骨质疏松症的影响,其分子机制可能与 BAP1/IP3R/SOCE 信号通路有关。这些发现凸显了 DIM 在预防和治疗骨质疏松症方面的潜在治疗价值。

The therapeutic interest of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) drugs for the treatment of neuroinflammation has been recently acknowledged. Nevertheless, most RAS drugs display limited passage across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Therefore, this study investigated the potential of intranasal (IN) delivery of six RAS drugs to circumvent the BBB and attain the brain, envisioning its future use in central nervous system (CNS) neuroinflammatory diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Captopril, enalaprilat, irbesartan, lisinopril, losartan and valsartan were firstly screened based on their impact on the viability of nasal, lung, and neuronal cell lines and their apparent permeability (Papp) across porcine olfactory mucosa. Irbesartan, identified as the one with the best safety and permeability balance, was selected for pharmacokinetic characterization following single and multidose IN administration to CD-1 mice. The results were compared to those obtained by intravenous (IV) injection to assess direct nose-to-brain drug delivery. Olfactory toxicity and anxiety were also evaluated after multidose IN treatment. Irbesartan IN administration significantly enhanced brain targeting, with a 3-fold increase in the maximum concentration (Cmax) and a 2.5-fold increase in the area under the curve (AUCt) in the brain compared to IV route. The drug exhibited a tmax of 15 min post-IN administration and achieved a brain targeting efficiency of 239.56%, with a significant direct transport percentage of 58.26%. Multidose administration indicated no systemic or tissue accumulation, with accumulation ratio (Rac) values below 1.0, and no significant olfactory toxicity. Overall, the study highlights the potential of IN delivery of irbesartan as a promising strategy to improve brain targeting and therapeutic outcomes in CNS diseases such as AD, providing an effective approach to bypass BBB limitations.

肾素-血管紧张素系统(RAS)药物治疗神经炎症的疗效最近已得到认可。然而,大多数 RAS 药物通过血脑屏障(BBB)的能力有限。因此,本研究调查了六种 RAS 药物鼻内给药绕过血脑屏障进入大脑的潜力,并设想了其未来在阿尔茨海默病(AD)等中枢神经系统(CNS)神经炎症疾病中的应用。首先根据卡托普利、依那普利拉、厄贝沙坦、利辛普利、洛沙坦和缬沙坦对鼻腔、肺部和神经细胞系活力的影响以及它们在猪嗅觉粘膜上的表观渗透性(Papp)进行了筛选。厄贝沙坦被认为是安全性和渗透性平衡最好的药物,被选中对 CD-1 小鼠进行单剂量和多剂量 IN 给药后进行药代动力学表征。结果与静脉注射(IV)获得的结果进行了比较,以评估鼻脑直接给药。此外,还对多剂量 IN 治疗后的嗅觉毒性和焦虑进行了评估。与静脉注射途径相比,厄贝沙坦IN给药显著增强了脑靶向性,脑内最大浓度(Cmax)增加了3倍,曲线下面积(AUCt)增加了2.5倍。该药物在静脉给药后 15 分钟达到 tmax,脑靶向效率为 239.56%,直接转运率高达 58.26%。多剂量给药表明没有全身或组织蓄积,蓄积比(Rac)值低于 1.0,也没有明显的嗅觉毒性。总之,该研究强调了IN递送厄贝沙坦的潜力,认为它是改善中枢神经系统疾病(如注意力缺失症)的脑靶向性和治疗效果的一种有前途的策略,为绕过BBB限制提供了一种有效的方法。

Excessive lipid accumulation often occurs in the early stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) which is prone to induce oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage, promoting the progression of kidney fibrosis. Andrographolide (AP), a multifunctional natural terpenoids derived from Andrographis paniculate, has been suggested to play beneficial roles in metabolic disorders-associated disease. Here, we reported that AP effectively counteracts tubule injury and interstitial fibrosis in mice fed with a long-term high-fat diet (HFD). AP treatment decreased HFD-induced lipid accumulation in kidney parenchyma and attenuated lipotoxicity-mediated oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, resulting in a marked decrease in tubular cell senescence. Importantly, AP inhibited senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) secretion by senescent tubular cells, and in turn suppressed proliferation and activation of fibroblasts in a paracrine effect. Furthermore, we revealed that AP functions as an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activator to ameliorate renal lipid accumulation through coordinately modulating AMP-activated protein kinase AMPK target genes. By stimulation of AMPK activity, AP protects injured kidney against tubular cell senescence and fibroblast activation. These results suggest the potential therapeutic application of AP in the prevention and treatment of CKD, highlighting the promising drug strategy of targeting the lipotoxicity-mediated premature senescence in tubular cells.
慢性肾脏病(CKD)早期常出现脂质过度积累,容易诱发氧化应激和线粒体损伤,促进肾脏纤维化的进展。穿心莲内酯(AP)是从穿心莲中提取的一种多功能天然萜类化合物,被认为可在代谢紊乱相关疾病中发挥有益作用。在此,我们报告了穿心莲提取物能有效对抗长期高脂饮食(HFD)小鼠肾小管损伤和肾间质纤维化。AP治疗可减少HFD诱导的肾实质脂质积累,减轻脂毒性介导的氧化应激和线粒体功能障碍,从而显著减少肾小管细胞衰老。重要的是,AP 可抑制衰老肾小管细胞分泌衰老相关分泌表型(SASP),进而抑制成纤维细胞的增殖和活化,起到旁分泌效应。此外,我们还发现 AP 可作为 AMP 激活蛋白激酶(AMPK)激活剂,通过协调调节 AMP 激活蛋白激酶 AMPK 靶基因来改善肾脏脂质积累。通过刺激 AMPK 的活性,AP 可保护受伤的肾脏,防止肾小管细胞衰老和成纤维细胞活化。这些结果表明,AP 在预防和治疗慢性肾功能衰竭方面具有潜在的治疗应用价值,并强调了针对脂毒性介导的肾小管细胞过早衰老的药物策略前景广阔。
