ANP secretion increased during reperfusion, rather than infarction, both ex vivo and in vivo, promoting Zn<sup>2⁺</sup> accumulation in reperfused tissue.

ANP pretreatment alone improved cardiac function, but combined pretreatment with ANP and TPEN decreased EF% and FS% while increasing LVID. Reperfusion increased ROS levels in both WT and ANP<sup>-/-</sup> hearts, which were reduced by ANP pretreatment. I/R injury elevated Zn<sup>2⁺</sup> transporter 8 (ZnT8) expression, an effect that was counteracted by ANP, although this effect was reversed by TPEN.

Survival and mutation analyses led to the creation of a nomogram for predicting patient prognosis. Furthermore, we investigated the role of GRINA, a ferroptosis-related gene, through functional assays, including cell proliferation, colony formation, and metastatic potential analyses. We also assessed mitochondrial abnormalities, intracellular iron, and ROS levels in GRINA-knockdown cells.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The developed ferroptosis-related model classified HCC patients into risk groups, revealing notable survival disparities. High-risk patients presented increased immune checkpoint gene expression. The nomogram revealed robust prognostic accuracy. Additionally, we found that GRINA suppression reduced HCC cell proliferation, colony formation, and metastatic potential. Cells with GRINA knockdown presented mitochondrial abnormalities and increased intracellular iron and ROS levels.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>By analysing multiomics sequencing data, we established a connection between ferroptosis-related risk groups and the tumor immune microenvironment. These findings provide novel insights into the role of ferroptosis in HCC and suggest that GRINA inhibition is a potential therapeutic strategy, leading to mitochondrial damage and the induction of ferroptosis in HCC cell lines.</p>","PeriodicalId":10820,"journal":{"name":"Current Medical Science","volume":" ","pages":"122-136"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143514932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mice were treated with Kae at a dose of 25 or 50 mg/kg/day via gavage. Pathological changes in the ankle joint were analyzed. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to measure the levels of inflammatory factors. Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to assess the expression of genes associated with the balance of regulatory T (Treg)/T helper 17 (Th17) cells. Flow cytometry was utilized to determine the Treg/Th17 ratio. Furthermore, these techniques were employed to evaluate the impact of miR-34a and Foxp3 dysregulation on cellular functions in RA under the influence of Kae. Dual luciferase reporter assay was conducted to analyze the binding of miR-34a to Foxp3.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Treatment with Kae led to a downregulation of receptor-related orphan receptor gamma t (RORγt) and IL-17 expression, and an upregulation of Foxp3, IL-10, and TGF-β expression in CIA mice. Kae intervention inhibited the production of proinflammatory cytokines and increased the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, Kae treatment suppressed the expression of miR-34a, which was identified as a target of miR-34a. Finally, Kae regulated Treg/ Th17 balance-related genes and cellular inflammation through the miR-34a/Foxp3 axis.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The study demonstrated that Kae effectively ameliorates CIA in mice by modulating the Treg/Th17 balance and related genes via the miR-34a/Foxp3 axis. These findings suggest that Kae may serve as a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of RA and for restoring immune homeostasis.</p>","PeriodicalId":10820,"journal":{"name":"Current Medical Science","volume":" ","pages":"1259-1269"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142823977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
