The nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) pathway plays a crucial role in immune responses, inflammation, and cell survival, making it central to sepsis-induced intestinal damage. Kakkalide (KA), a bioactive compound known for its anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular, neuroprotective, and anti-diabetic properties, has potential therapeutic effects. However, its impact on sepsis-induced intestinal injury remains unclear. In this study, murine sepsis models were used both <i>in vivo</i> and <i>in vitro</i> to evaluate the protective effects of KA on intestinal histopathology, apoptosis, and inflammation. Results showed that KA significantly reduced intestinal damage and apoptosis, as evidenced by hematoxylin-eosin and TUNEL staining. KA also improved intestinal barrier integrity, as indicated by reduced diamine oxidase activity, d-lactic acid content, and fluorescein isothiocyanate intensity, along with increased expression of zonula occludens-1. Furthermore, KA alleviates inflammation by reducing the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, prostaglandin E2, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and cyclooxygenase-2. Immunofluorescence and Western blot analysis revealed that KA inhibited the sepsis-induced phosphorylation of inhibitor-kappaBα and RelA (P65) and prevented P65's translocation to the nucleus. These findings were confirmed in lipopolysaccharide-induced Caco-2 cells, suggesting that KA protected the intestinal barrier during sepsis by suppressing the NF-κB pathway.</p>","PeriodicalId":15429,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition","volume":"76 2","pages":"139-147"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11936737/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143730245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cell experiments revealed that miR-301b-3p suppressed EBF3 expression, thereby promoting the glycolysis capacity and stem-like phenotype of BC cells.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>miR-301b-3p enhanced glycolysis and promoted the stem-like phenotype of BC cells by targeting EBF3. These findings can offer new therapeutic approaches for BC.</p>","PeriodicalId":15429,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition","volume":"76 1","pages":"25-34"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11782780/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143080150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
