Radiometric assessment of glucose and fatty acid metabolism was complemented by examination of mitochondrial OxPHOS proteins, fiber-type markers, and the release of selected myokines and extracellular vesicles into the media.

Enzyme-based depolymerization of polyesters, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and bioplastics (e.g., polylactic acid (PLA), poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs)), has emerged as a promising alternative, offering a green approach to postconsumer plastic management with a reduced environmental impact and in alignment with circular economy principles.

We investigated short-term effects of EGCG (10-500 μm) using isolated perfused rat livers and complementary assays in mitochondrial, microsomal, and cytosolic fractions. EGCG markedly inhibited gluconeogenesis from lactate (up to 52%), glycerol (33%), and alanine (47%), while it stimulated glycolysis, glycogenolysis, and oleic acid oxidation (+42% total ketone bodies). Oxygen uptake was stimulated under glycogenolytic and fatty acid oxidizing conditions but inhibited under gluconeogenic conditions. Mechanistic analyses revealed EGCG-induced mild mitochondrial uncoupling, inhibition of pyruvate carboxylase and glucose-6-phosphatase (with no effect on fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase) and stimulation of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. EGCG shifted cytosolic and mitochondrial NADH/NAD<sup>+</sup> ratios toward oxidation, increased mitochondrial and plasma membrane permeability (LDH leakage from 10 μm), and altered redox-sensitive fluxes, while the total hepatic ATP content remained unchanged. In summary, EGCG's multifaceted actions suggest that suppression of gluconeogenesis may contribute to its antihyperglycemic effect and the stimulation of fatty acid oxidation to its anti-obesity action.

NSCLC is histologically classified into adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and other less frequent subtypes. Both subtypes and other solid tumors are increasingly regarded as abnormal organs, highlighting the critical role of the desmoplastic tumor stroma rich in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in driving tumor progression and therapeutic resistance. This tumor stroma resembles a chronic fibrotic wound and is largely formed by activated/myofibroblast-like α-SMA+ CAFs (myCAFs), which are strongly associated with immunosuppression and poor prognosis. Despite the dominance of the myCAF phenotype, we reported a decade ago phenotypic alterations in NSCLC with a strong dependence on the histologic subtype. Subsequent studies using functional assays, single-cell techniques, and <i>in vivo</i> models have refined these initial observations, enhancing our understanding of the biology of both normal fibroblasts/myofibroblasts and CAFs in NSCLC and other cancer types, including their origins, subclassification, and physiopathologic functions. Notably, increasing evidence supports that CAFs can exhibit tumor-restraining or tumor-promoting effects, and current therapeutic efforts aim to shift the balance towards tumor-restraining phenotypes. Here, we review major advances in our understanding of tumor stromagenesis and CAF heterogeneity in both primary tumors and metastasis, including emerging consensus, with a special focus on NSCLC and its frequent dissemination to the brain. We also highlight the critical role of smoking through epigenetic reprogramming of the TGF-β/SMAD3 pathway.

Acute hypotonic stimulation evoked calcium response patterns, whereas hypertonic and isotonic stress did not elicit similar effects. Mechanistically, these calcium signals originated from the endoplasmic reticulum via ryanodine receptor 2 and propagated to neighboring cells through Connexin 43-mediated gap junctions. These findings reveal a previously unrecognized role for calcium signaling in the acute cellular response to osmotic stress, providing new insights into the mechanisms of intercellular communication during osmotic adaptation.</p>","PeriodicalId":12187,"journal":{"name":"FEBS Open Bio","volume":"15 10","pages":"1714-1722"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/2211-5463.70094","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144948217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
