The content and composition of intercellular lipids in the stratum corneum significantly affect skin barrier function. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effect of Shotokuseki extract (SE) on intercellular lipid production and metabolism in human three-dimensional cultured human epidermis. SE or ion mixtures containing five common ions were applied to three-dimensional cultured human epidermis for 2–8 days for each assay. The mRNA expression levels of epidermal differentiation markers and lipid metabolism genes were quantified by real-time PCR. After extraction of lipids from the epidermis, ceramide, sphingosine, free fatty acids, and cholesterol were quantified by LC-MS/MS, GC-MS, or HPLC. The results showed that the application of SE increased the gene expression levels of epidermal differentiation markers keratin10 and transglutaminase. Elongation of very long-chain fatty acids protein 3, serine palmitoyl transferase, ceramide synthase 3, and acid ceramidase mRNA expression levels increased and fatty acid synthase mRNA expression decreased. The content of each lipid, [EOS] ceramide decreased and total sphingosine content increased on day 4. On day 8 of application, ceramide [NDS], [NP], and [EODS] increased and total free fatty acid content decreased. These results show that SE alters the lipid composition of the epidermis, increasing ceramides and decreasing free fatty acids in the epidermis. The composition of the ions in the SE may be responsible for the changes in lipid composition.

The aim of this research was to probe the anti-fibrosis role of exosomes secreted by HGF modified-mouse adipose MSCs (ADMSCs) on activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and to preliminarily explore the possible mechanism. Firstly, mouse ADMSCs were isolated and identified. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction verified the transfection efficiency of ADMSC transfected with HGF lentivirus. Exosomes derived from ADMSC transfecting negative control/HGF (ADMSC<sup>NC</sup>-Exo/ADMSC<sup>HGF</sup>-Exo) were extracted by density gradient centrifugation.

Exosomes derived from ADMSCs with or without HGF transfection suppressed HSC activation, as evidenced by attenuating cell viability and cell cycle arrest at S phase but inducing apoptosis.

The impaired progression caused by NEAT1 deficiency in PCa cells was significantly restored by the inhibition of miR-582-5p, while these effects were largely abolished by the deletion of EZH2.

However, its role in atherosclerosis is still undefined. Here, down-regulation of GLRX2 was validated in lipopolysaccha (LPS)-induced vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs). Moreover, elevation of GLRX2 reversed the inhibition of cell viability in LPS-treated HUVECs and decreased LPS-induced increases in cell apoptosis and caspase-3 activity. Additionally, enhancement of GLRX2 expression antagonized oxidative stress in HUVECs under LPS exposure by inhibiting ROS, lactate dehydrogenase and malondialdehyde production and increased activity of anti-oxidative stress superoxide dismutase. Notably, GLRX2 abrogated LPS-evoked transcripts and releases of pro-inflammatory cytokine (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β), chemokine MCP-1 and adhesion molecule ICAM-1 expression. Furthermore, the activation of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling was demonstrated in LPS-stimulated HUVECs. Importantly, blockage of the Nrf2 pathway counteracted the protective roles of GLRX2 in LPS-triggered endothelial cell injury, oxidative stress and inflammatory response.
