Recently, approaches to prime MSCs have been investigated, thereby generating cellular products with enhanced potential for a variety of clinical applications. Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) priming is a current approach used to increase the therapeutic efficacy of MSCs. In this study, we determined the systemic toxicity, tumorigenicity and biodistribution of IFN-γ-primed Wharton's jelly-derived (WJ)-MSCs in male and female BALB/c-nu/nu mice. There were no deaths or pathologic lesions in the mice treated with 5 × 10<sup>6</sup> cells/kg IFN-γ-primed MSCs in the repeated dose study. In the tumorigenicity study, one of the subcutaneously treated mice showed bronchioloalveolar adenoma in the lung but tested negative for human-specific anti-mitochondrial antibody, suggesting the spontaneous murine origin of the adenoma. A biodistribution study using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction demonstrated the systemic IFN-γ-primed MSC clearance by day 28.

Prenatal CA exposure causes neurodevelopmental deficits and abnormal behavior in spatial learning ability. Dysfunction of the acetyl-cholinergic system in neural information processing is correlated with spatial learning impairment and was found in the previous reports of CA structural analogue melamine. To further investigate the neurotoxic effects and the potential mechanism, the acetylcholine (ACh) level was detected in the rats which were exposed to CA during the whole of gestation. Local field potentials (LFPs) were recorded when rats infused with ACh or cholinergic receptor agonist into hippocampal CA3 or CA1 region were trained in the Y-maze task.

However, activation of cholinergic receptors did not rescue the learning impairments. In the LFP recording, we found that the hippocampal ACh infusions could enhance the values of phase synchronization between CA3 and CA1 regions in theta and alpha oscillations. Meanwhile, the reduction in the coupling directional index and the strength of CA3 driving CA1 in the CA-treated groups was also reversed by the ACh infusions.

Irigenin, an isoflavone from rhizomes of the <i>Belamcanda chinensis</i>, has been reported to exert anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and anti-apoptotic activities in several diseases. However, it is still unclear whether irigenin can exert a beneficial effect in ALI. A network pharmacology method was utilized to predict the hub targets and potential therapeutic mechanisms of irigenin against ALI. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to establish the mice model of ALI for evaluating the effects of irigenin.

Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment assays showed that irigenin might affect inflammatory response, cytokine production, and cell death by the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. In vivo experiment results manifested that irigenin decreased pathological changes, lung Wet/Dry weight ratio, and total protein content in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Irigenin also reduced the production of inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-18 (IL-18), and neutrophil infiltration. Additionally, irigenin inhibited pulmonary apoptosis in LPS-treated ALI mice. Moreover, LPS-induced phosphorylation of p38, JNK, and ERK was significantly abated due to the treatment of irigenin.
