However, excessive amounts of d-gal activate alternative metabolic pathways that can lead to the development of a pro-oxidative environment. This feature is used in numerous aging studies which implied intraperitoneal (i.p.) or subcutaneous (s.c.) administration of d-gal for a prolonged time. The present study aims to investigate the systemic effects of orally administered d-gal (200 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg, dissolved in tap water, for 6 weeks) by analyzing oxidative stress parameters in the liver, kidney, and heart. For comparison with natural aging, the effects were studied in rats aged 12, 18, 24, and 30 months. In addition, histopathologic analyzes and serum biochemical measurements were performed to investigate the potential structural and functional organ damage induced by d-gal administration. Our findings show that chronic oral administration of d-gal induces oxidative stress in rat organs and mimics some aspects of natural aging similar to those of 30-month-old rats. Consistent with its primary role in galactose metabolism, the liver exhibited the most pronounced oxidative damage. However, despite the increased oxidative stress, only minor histopathological changes were observed, while organ function remained largely unaffected. Oral intake of d-gal was found to have milder effects compared to i.p. or s.c. injections, suggesting that this model may induce some features of natural aging but without overt organ dysfunction.</p>","PeriodicalId":10839,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Molecular Biology","volume":"47 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11941312/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143708433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mechanistically, drug affinity responsive target stability-based mass spectrometry analysis, molecular dynamics simulations, and a cellular thermal shift assay confirmed that USP32 is a potential target of LBT in LUSC cells. Moreover, a strong interaction between USP32 and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) was found via immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry and co-immunoprecipitation. In addition, the ubiquitination assay results demonstrated that LBT treatment significantly increased NRF2 ubiquitination and degradation by targeting USP32. Importantly, USP32 overexpression effectively attenuated the effects of LBT on proliferation and ferroptosis in LUSC cells. In orthotopic LUSC xenografts, the administration of LBT significantly inhibited tumor growth and metastasis and induced ferroptosis by targeting the USP32-NRF2 signaling axis.

WB examination demonstrated diminished protein levels of N-cadherin, CyclinB<sub>1</sub>, CDK1, C-myc, Bcl-2, p-ERK/ERK, p-p38/p38, p-JNK/JNK, p-AKT/AKT, and p-mTOR/mTOR, alongside an upregulation of E-cadherin, ZO-1, occludin, p53, Bax, p-β-catenin/β-catenin, and GSK3β.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>SJB2-043 exerts a suppressive effect on A549 cell proliferation, migration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition while enhancing apoptosis. These cellular effects appear to be mediated through the inhibition of the MAPK, Wnt/β-catenin, and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling cascades, in addition to modulation of the cell cycle.</p>","PeriodicalId":10839,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Molecular Biology","volume":"47 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11941171/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143709047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
