Although Circ-AGTPBP1 has been reported to exhibit high expression in the serum of premature infants with WMI, its effects and mechanisms in ICH-induced WMI remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of circ-AGTPBP1 in white matter injury after intracerebral hemorrhage. An intracerebral hemorrhage rat model was established by injecting autologous blood into rat left ventricles and circ-AGTPBP1 was knocked down at the ICH site using recombinant adeno-associated virus, AAV2/9. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and gait analysis were conducted to assess long-term neurobehavioral effects. Primary oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) were isolated from rats and overexpressed with circ-AGTPBP1. Downstream targets of circ-AGTPBP1 in OPCs were investigated using CircInteractome, qPCR, FISH analysis, and miRDB network. Luciferase gene assay was utilized to explore the relationship between miR-140-3p and Pcdh17 in OPCs and HEK-293T cells. Finally, CCK-8 assay, EdU staining, and flow cytometry were employed to evaluate the effects of mi-RNA-140-3p inhibitor or silencing of sh-pcd17 on the viability, proliferation, and apoptosis of OPCs. Low expression of circ-AGTPBP1 alleviates white matter injury and improves neurological functions in rats after intracerebral hemorrhage. Conversely, overexpression of circ-AGTPBP1 reduces the proliferative and migrative potential of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells and promotes apoptosis. CircInteractome web tool and qPCR confirmed that circ-AGTPBP1 binds with miR-140-3p in OPCs. Additionally, miRDB network predicted Pcdh17 as a downstream target of miR-140-3p. Moreover, pcdh17 expression was increased in the brain tissue of rats with intracerebral-induced white matter injury. Furthermore, inhibiting miR-140-3p suppressed the proliferation and migration of OPCs and facilitated apoptosis through Pcdh17.

Each year, over 36,000 people die and nearly 400 million are infected with the dengue virus (DENV).

Antiviral peptides (AVPs) have shown tremendous ability to fight against different viruses. Accelerating antiviral drug discovery is crucial, particularly for RNA viruses. DDX3X, a vital cell component, supports viral translation and interacts with TRPV4, regulating viral RNA metabolism and infectivity. Its diverse signaling pathway makes it a potential therapeutic target. Our study focuses on inhibiting viral RNA translation by blocking the activity of the target gene and the TRPV4-mediated Ca<sup>2+</sup> cation channel. Six major proteins from camel milk were first extracted and split with the enzyme pepsin. The antiviral properties were then analyzed using online bioinformatics programs, including AVPpred, Meta-iAVP, AMPfun, and ENNAVIA. The stability of the complex was assessed using MD simulation, MM/GBSA, and principal component analysis. Cytotoxicity evaluations were conducted using COPid and ToxinPred. The top ten AVPs, determined by optimal scores, were selected and saved for docking studies with the GalaxyPepDock tools. Bioinformatics analyses revealed that the peptides had very short hydrogen bond distances (1.8 to 3.6 Å) near the active site of the target protein. Approximately 76% of the peptide residues were 5–11 amino acids long.

{"title":"Analyzing fuzzy boundary value problems: a study on the influence of mitochondria and ER fluxes on calcium ions in neuron cells","authors":"Rituparna Bhattacharyya, Brajesh Kumar Jha","doi":"10.1007/s10863-023-09994-3","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10863-023-09994-3","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Cytosolic-free calcium ions play an important role in various physical and physiological processes. A vital component of neural signaling is the free calcium ion concentration often known as the second messenger. There are many parameters that effect the cytosolic free calcium concentration like buffer, voltage-gated ion channels, Endoplasmic reticulum, Mitochondria, etc. Mitochondria are small organelles located within the nervous system that are involved in processes within cells such as calcium homeostasis management, energy generation, response to stress, and cell demise pathways. In this work, a mathematical model with fuzzy boundary values has been developed to study the effect of Mitochondria and ER fluxes on free Calcium ions. The intended findings are displayed utilizing the physiological understanding that amyloid beta plaques and tangles of neurofibrillary fibers have been identified as the two main causes of AD. The key conclusion of the work is the investigation of <span>({Ca}^{2+})</span> for healthy cells and cells affected by Alzheimer's disease, which may aid in the study of such processes for computational scientists and medical practitioners. Also, it has been shown that when a unique solution is found for a specific precise problem, it also successfully deals with any underlying ambiguity within the problem by utilizing a technique based on the principles of linear transformation. Furthermore, the comparison between the analytical approach and the generalized hukuhara derivative approach is shown here, which illustrates the benefits of the analytical approach. The simulation is carried out in MATLAB.</p>","PeriodicalId":15080,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bioenergetics and Biomembranes","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138563648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
