However, it has been reported to induce allergic reactions in clinical use which deserves much attention. Therefore, this study focused on the ability of two isomers of nebivolol and chiral isomer impurities to induce allergic reactions. Our findings demonstrate that both nebivolol and two isomeric impurities can activate mast cell degranulation in vitro and show significant retention on Mas‐related G‐protein‐coupled receptor X2 (MRGPRX2)‐HEK293 cell membrane chromatography. These effects were further validated in vivo, where nebivolol and impurity IP‐3 were observed to cause toe swelling and mast cell degranulation in mice. Molecular docking studies revealed interactions between these compounds and key amino acids of MRGPRX2, suggesting a mechanism for the induced allergic reactions. This work lays the foundation for improving the clinical safety of nebivolol.","PeriodicalId":15242,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Toxicology","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Female reproductive health and quality of life are significantly affected by PCOS, which has recently been associated with ferroptosis in granulosa cells (GCs). Nuciferine (NF) is a naturally extracted substance with multiple pharmacological activities, which is reported with anti‐ferroptosis function. Herein, the influence of NF for androgen‐induced ferroptosis in GCs was investigated to explore the potential value of NF on treating PCOS. 10 μM NF and 20 μM NF were employed for treating KGN cells according to cell viability results. KGN cells were treated with 10 μM dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) for 1 day, followed by introducing 10 μM NF and 20 μM NF for 24 h. Strikingly reduced cell viability, increased lactate dehydrogenase release and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, enhanced apoptosis, upregulated Bax, downregulated Bcl‐2, restrained malondialdehyde contents, and declined superoxide dismutase activity were observed in DHEA‐treated KGN cells, which were significantly reversed by NF. Significantly repressed GPX4, SLC7A11, and SOX2 levels, as well as increased ACSL4 levels and Fe<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> levels in DHEA‐treated KGN cells, were notably rescued by NF.

This study explores the potential of metformin, a common anti‐diabetic drug, to mitigate aluminum‐induced neurotoxicity in an in vitro model of AD. Our findings reveal that metformin significantly reduces oxidative stress markers such as malonaldehyde, carbonyl groups, and reactive oxygen species while enhancing antioxidant defenses. Metformin modulates critical signaling pathways, including glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3‐β)/RAC‐alpha serine/threonine protein kinase (RAC‐alpha serine/threonine protein kinase (Akt1)/protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and Wnt/β‐catenin, decreasing Tau protein levels and promoting neurogenesis.

TC-1 cells were stimulated by LPS to mimic the inflammatory injury model <i>in vitro</i>. Cell viability, proliferation, and apoptosis were determined using MTT assay, 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine assay, and flow cytometry. Interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor α levels were analyzed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Reactive oxygen species and superoxide dismutase were examined using special assay kits. Macrophage polarization was detected using flow cytometry. Mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 (MAPK14) level was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. MAPK14 and ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7) protein levels were determined using western blot assay. After Ubibrowser database prediction, the interaction between USP7 and MAPK14 was verified using a Co-immunoprecipitation assay.

Overexpressing MAPK14 attenuated the repression of esculin on LPS-triggered TC-1 cell injury. At the molecular level, USP7 interacted with MAPK14 and maintained its stability by removing ubiquitin. Moreover, esculin repressed the progression of pneumonia <i>in vivo</i> by regulating MAPK14.
