This investigation reveals the pivotal involvement of calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) in HCC advancement and its potential as a promising therapeutic target. Through pharmacological blockade with NPS-2143 and genetic knockdown using siRNA, we found that CaSR inhibition substantially reduced HCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, while promoting apoptotic cell death in HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells. At the molecular level, CaSR interference triggered p38 MAPK activation, while inhibiting the ERK1/2 cascade, resulting in diminished expression of proliferation indicators (PCNA), metastatic markers (MMP-2/9), and cell survival proteins (Bcl-2), concurrent with elevated levels of apoptosis mediators (Bax, cleaved caspase-3). In vivo, NPS-2143 significantly suppressed xenograft tumour growth. Western blotting of xenograft tumour tissues further showed increased p-p38/p38 and Bax levels and decreased p-ERK/ERK, MMP-9, and Bcl-2 levels, consistent with the in vitro findings. Additional validation in a male nude mouse xenograft model using Huh7 cells further supported the anti-tumour effect of NPS-2143 in another independent HCC model.

However, the molecular mechanism of YJSB in the management of ALD remains unclear. Building on evidence that YJSB ameliorates ALD, we combined transcriptomics and untargeted metabolomics to elucidate the molecular mechanisms responsible for its anti-ALD effects. We established an ALD mouse model and treated animals with YJSB to evaluate its therapeutic effects. We then performed integrated transcriptomic and untargeted metabolomic analyses to identify pathways and molecules associated with YJSB treatment. Using UPLC-Q-TOF-MS, we identified YJSB prototype components present in plasma. We screened the major plasma-detected constituent for hepatoprotective activity in an in vitro model of alcohol-induced hepatocyte injury. Finally, we validated the molecular target of this active component using molecular docking, cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA), drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS), and pharmacological inhibition assays. The results showed that YJSB markedly reduced hepatic injury and lipid accumulation in ALD mice and simultaneously decreased oxidative stress and inflammation. Integrated multi-omics analysis identified arachidonic acid metabolism as a potential pathway mediating YJSB's protective effects. In particular, YJSB robustly increased the expression of CYP4A14, a key enzyme in this pathway. We identified methyl palmitate as the major active component of YJSB that mitigated alcohol-induced hepatocyte injury in vitro. Methyl palmitate decreased oxidative stress and enhanced CYP4A14 expression in injured hepatocytes. Molecular docking demonstrated a preferable binding affinity between methyl palmitate and PPARα. CETSA and DARTS further validated this interaction by showing that methyl palmitate increased the thermal stability and proteolytic resistance of PPARα. Importantly, pharmacological inhibition of PPARα completely abolished the hepatoprotective effects of methyl palmitate in vitro. In conclusion, YJSB effectively reduces liver injury in ALD mice. Mechanistically, its active component methyl palmitate activates PPARα, thereby upregulating CYP4A14, reshaping arachidonic acid metabolism, and attenuating alcohol-induced oxidative stress in hepatocytes.</p>","PeriodicalId":101321,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR MEDICINE","volume":"30 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13624284/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149080908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, an injectable and photocurable composite hydrogel sustained-release system (GA-Exos) loaded with human umbilical cord blood-derived exosomes (UCB-Exos) was constructed. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that GA-Exos possesses excellent performance, enabling sustained release of exosomes for approximately 21 days.

The gold standard for restoring the transected nerves is bridging the distal and proximal ends of disrupted autologous nerve using neurosurgical sutures. This approach is helpful, however nerve bridging is valid in pay of consuming healthy nerves and scarring phenomena in damaged site besides difficult donor nerve accessibility and extra surgery is required. Many studies have demonstrated that bFGF plays a pivotal role in the regeneration of PNI and severe spinal cord injury, exerting neuroprotective activity by binding to fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs). Particularly, bFGF exhibits a high affinity for the receptor FGFR1, serving as its specific ligand. The novel synthetic compound SUN11602 exhibited neuroprotective activities like bFGF. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of SUN11602 treatment in a rat experimental model of peripheral median nerve transection (MNT) and end-to-end suture. MNT was performed on rats, starting from 24 h following the surgical procedure, to orally treat, daily for 7 days, with SUN11602 at the dose of 2.5 mg/kg.

Due to its complex pathogenesis, effective treatment strategies remain limited. Therefore, it is particularly important to identify novel candidate biomarkers from the pathogenesis level. In recent years, lactylation modification plays an important role in various cardiovascular diseases; however, its specific involvement in DCM remains unclear. Therefore, it is of great significance to identify lactylation-related biomarkers associated with DCM to provide insights for future mechanistic investigations. The DCM gene expression datasets were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed genes and co-expression modules were identified using differential expression analysis and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Lactylation-related gene sets (LRGs) were obtained from the MSigDB database. The intersection of these results was further analysed using machine learning algorithms: Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO), Random Forest (RF), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). CIBERSORT algorithm was used to analyse the immune infiltration characteristics of DCM, and DCM was divided into two subtypes by unsupervised consensus clustering. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was employed to evaluate potential causal associations between the candidate genes and DCM or heart failure progression. Finally, the candidate genes were verified by the GSE57338 database and β<sub>1</sub>-AA-induced heart failure model with DCM characteristics. Through comprehensive transcriptomic analysis integrating WGCNA and LRGs, 38 characteristic genes associated with DCM and lactylation were finally identified. Subsequently, 18 key genes were selected by machine learning. The risk prediction model based on these genes demonstrated good predictive performance for DCM. Immune infiltration analysis revealed dysregulated inflammatory responses in DCM patients, and 18 key genes were significantly related to CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells, CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells, neutrophils, and Natural killer T cell infiltration. Unsupervised consensus clustering divided DCM patients into two distinct subtypes (C1 and C2), with marked differences in gene expression. Subtype C1 was characterized by activation of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells and Natural Killer T cells, whereas C2 mainly exhibited CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells and neutrophils activation. Furthermore, Mendelian randomization analysis suggested that <i>EXT1</i> may be associated with heart failure, while <i>IER3</i> was potentially associated with DCM. Finally, the external validation set GSE57338 and the heart failure model with DCM characteristics were used to verify the two genes identified.
