    查看更多>>摘要:Lipid droplets(LDs)are dynamic organelles that store neutral lipids and are closely linked to obesity.Previous studies have suggested that Lycium barbarum polysaccharide(LBP)supplements can ameliorate obesity,but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.In this study,we hypothesize that LBP alleviates LD accumulation in adipose tissue(AT)by inhibiting fat-specific protein 27(Fsp27)through an activating transcription factor-6(ATF6)/small-molecule sirtuin 1(SIRT1)-dependent mechanism.LD accumulation in AT is induced in high-fat diet(HFD)-fed mice,and differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes(PAs)is induced.The ability of LBP to alleviate LD accumulation and the possible underlying mechanism are then investigated both in vivo and in vitro.The influences of LBP on the expressions of LD-associated genes(ATF6 and Fsp27)are also detected.The results show that HFD and PA dif-ferentiation markedly increase LD accumulation in ATs and adipocytes,respectively,and these effects are markedly suppressed by LBP supplementation.Furthermore,LBP significantly activates SIRT1 and decreases ATF6 and Fsp27 expressions.Interestingly,the inhibitory effects of LBP are either abolished or exacerbated when ATF6 is over-expressed or silenced,respectively.Furthermore,SIRT1 level is transcriptionally regulated by LBP through opposite actions mediated by ATF6.Collectively,our findings suggest that LBP supplementation alleviates obesity by ameliorating LD accumulation,which might be partially mediated by an ATF6/SIRT1-dependent mechanism.

    查看更多>>摘要:Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is a debilitating condition that can lead to life-threatening complications.Mac-rophages are crucial in IBD management because they secrete various cytokines and regulate tissue repair.Mac-rophage-derived angiogenin(ANG)has been shown to be essential for limiting colonic inflammation,but its upstream regulatory pathway and role in macrophages remain unclear.Here we show that ANG expression is up-regulated in macrophages during colitis treatment or upon lipopolysaccharides(LPS)treatment.Mechanistically,LPS activates Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)to initiate NF-κB translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus,where it binds to the ANG promoter and enhances its transcriptional activity,leading to increased ANG expression.Inter-estingly,our data also reveal that the deletion of ANG in macrophages has no adverse effect on key macrophage functions,such as phagocytosis,chemotaxis,and cell survival.Our findings establish a"LPS-TLR4-NF-κB-ANG"regulatory axis in inflammatory disorders and confirm that ANG controls inflammation in a paracrine manner,highlighting the importance of ANG as a key mediator in the complex network of inflammatory processes.

    查看更多>>摘要:Approximately 20%of colorectal cancer(CRC)patients are first diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer(mCRC)because they develop symptoms at an advanced stage.Despite advancements in treatment,patients with meta-static disease still experience inferior survival rates.Our objective is to investigate the association between long noncoding RNAs(IncRNAs)and prognosis and to explore their role in mCRC.In this study,we find that elevated expression of PCAT6 is independently linked to unfavourable survival outcomes in The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)data,and this finding is further confirmed in CRC samples obtained from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center.Cell lines and xenograft mouse models are used to examine the impact of PCAT6 on tumor metastasis.Knockdown of PCAT6 is observed to impede the metastatic phenotype of CRC,as evidenced by functional assays,demonstrating the suppression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)and stemness.Our findings show the significance of PCAT6 in mCRC and its potential use as a prognostic biomarker.

    查看更多>>摘要:Brucellosis is a global zoonotic infection caused by Brucella bacteria,which poses a significant burden on society.While transmission prevention is currently the most effective method,the absence of a licenced vaccine for humans necessitates the urgent development of a safe and effective vaccine.Recombinant protein-based subunit vaccines are considered promising options,and in this study,the Brucella BP26 protein is expressed using prokaryotic expression systems.The immune responses are evaluated using the well-established adjuvant CpG-ODN.The results demonstrate that rBP26 supplemented with a CpG adjuvant induces M1 macrophage polarization and stimulates cellular immune responses mediated by Th1 cells and CD8+T cells.Additionally,it generates high levels of rBP26-specific antibodies in immunized mice.Furthermore,rBP26 immunization activates,proliferates,and produces cytokines in T lymphocytes while also maintaining immune memory for an extended period of time.These findings shed light on the potential biological function of rBP26,which is crucial for understanding brucellosis pathogenesis.Moreover,rBP26 holds promise as an effective subunit vaccine candidate for use in endemic areas.

    查看更多>>摘要:Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by intestinal barrier dysfunction,inflammatory synergistic effects and excessive tissue injury.Gallic acid(GA)is renowned for its remarkable bio-logical activity,encompassing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.However,the underlying mechanisms by which GA protects against intestinal inflammation have not been fully elucidated.The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of GA on the inflammation of a lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-stimulated human colon carcinoma cell line(Caco-2)and on the intestinal barrier dysfunction,and explore the underlying molecular mechanism involved.Our findings demonstrate that 5 µg/mL GA restores the downregulation of the mRNA and protein levels of Claudin-1,Occludin,and ZO-1 and decreases the expressions of inflammatory factors such as IL-6,IL-1β and TNF-αinduced by LPS.In addition,GA exhibits a protective effect by reducing the LPS-enhanced early and late apoptotic ratios,downregulating the mRNA levels of pro-apoptotic factors(Bax,Bad,Caspase-3,Caspase-8,and Caspase-9),and upregulating the mRNA levels of anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2 in Caco-2 cells.GA also reduces the levels of reactive oxygen species increased by LPS and restores the activity of antioxidant enzymes,namely,superoxide dismutase and catalase,as well as the level of glutathione.More importantly,GA exerts its anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the LPS-induced phosphorylation of key signaling molecules in the NF-κB/MAPK pathway,including p65,IκB-α,p38,JNK,and ERK,in Caco-2 cells.Overall,our findings show that GA increases the expres-sions of tight junction proteins,reduces cell apoptosis,relieves oxidative stress and suppresses the activation of the NF-κB/MAPK pathway to reduce LPS-induced intestinal inflammation in Caco-2 cells,indicating that GA has po-tential as a therapeutic agent for intestinal inflammation.

    查看更多>>摘要:Non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)is one of the most prevalent cancers in the world,and early diagnosis can effectively improve patient survival.Here,differentially expressed circlARS genes are screened from the sequen-cing results,and their molecular characteristics are examined by Sanger sequencing,RNase R assay,agarose gel electrophoresis(AGE),and fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH).Real-time fluorescence quantitative poly-merase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)is performed to detect the expression level of circlARS.The diagnostic value of the signature is analyzed using a subject operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Moreover,plasma is collected from postsurgical,chemotherapy,and relapse patients to investigate the prognostic value of circlARS in NSCLC.The expression of circlARS is greater in both the plasma and tissues of NSCLC patients than in those of healthy individuals,and could be used to distinguish NSCLC patients from patients with benign pulmonary disease(BPD),small cell lung cancer(SCLC)patients,and healthy individuals.The expression level of circlARS relatively decreases after antitumor therapy,such as chemotherapy,and relatively increases after recurrence.ROC analysis reveals that circIARS has better detection efficiency than traditional markers.In addition,circlARS expression level is strongly correlated with several clinicopathological parameters.Finally,we tentatively predict the downstream miRNAs or RBP that might bind to circlARS.Plasma circlARS is significantly greater in NSCLC patients and has good stability and specificity as a diagnostic marker,which could aid in the adjuvant diagnosis and dynamic monitoring of NSCLC.
