We followed up 10,810 women (mean age = 35 years, SD = 11 years) for an average of 12.5 years during which 147 new cases of invasive breast cancer were diagnosed.

The DDS was categorized into tertiles. Self-reported medically diagnosed breast cancer cases were confirmed through medical records. We found a significant inverse association between the intermediate tertile of the DDS score and overall breast cancer risk (Hazard ratio, HR_{T2 vs. T1}= 0.55; 95% CI: 0.36-0.82) and premenopausal breast cancer risk (HR_T2= 0.26; 95% CI: 0.13-0.53), but not for the highest tertile. This association was stronger among women with a BMI < 25 kg/m² (p_interaction: 0.029).

Muscle-enriched microRNAs (miRNAs), also referred to as myomiRs, control various processes in skeletal muscles, from myogenesis and muscle homeostasis to different responses to environmental stimuli such as exercise. MicroRNA-486 is a miRNA in which a stem-loop sequence is embedded within the ANKYRIN1 (ANK1) locus and is strictly conserved across mammals. MicroRNA-486 is involved in the development of muscle atrophy caused by aging, immobility, prolonged exposure to microgravity, or muscular and neuromuscular disorders. PI3K/AKT signaling is a positive pathway, as it increases muscle mass by increasing protein synthesis and decreasing protein degradation. MicroRNA-486 can activate this pathway by inhibiting phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), it may also indirectly inhibit the HIPPO signaling pathway to promote cell growth. Exercises regulate microRNA-486 expression both in blood and muscle. This review focused on the recent elucidation of sarcopenia regulation by microRNA-486 and its effects on pathological states, including primary muscular disease, secondary muscular disorders, and age-related sarcopenia. Additionally, the role of exercise in regulating skeletal muscle-enriched microRNA-486 was highlighted, along with its physiological significance. Growing evidence indicates that microRNA-486 significantly impacts the development of muscle atrophy. MicroRNA-486 has great potential to become a therapeutic target for improving muscle atrophy through exercise intervention.</p>","PeriodicalId":16779,"journal":{"name":"Journal of physiology and biochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142108607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Activins and inhibins, which belong to the TGF-β superfamily, were first discovered in ovarian follicular fluid. They were initially described as regulators of pituitary follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion both in vivo and in vitro. Later studies found that INHBB is expressed not only in reproductive organs such as the ovary, uterus, and testis but also in numerous other organs, including the brain, spinal cord, liver, kidneys, and adrenal glands. This wide distribution implies its involvement in the normal physiological functions of various organs; however, the mechanisms underlying these functions have not yet been fully elucidated. Recent studies suggest that INHBB plays a significant, yet complex role in tumorigenesis. It appears to have dual effects, promoting tumor progression in some contexts while inhibiting it in others, although these roles are not yet fully understood.

Bioactive lipids such as sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) have significant effects on the modulation of signaling pathways involved in tissue regeneration, such as cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, and migration. The main objective of this work was to explore the protective effect of S1P using human kidney proximal tubule cells submitted to a mimetic I/R lesion, via ATP depletion. We observed that the S1P pre-treatment increases cell survival by 50% and preserves the cell proliferation capacity of injured cells. We showed the presence of different bioactive lipids notably related to tissue repair but, more importantly, we noted that the pre-treatment with S1P attenuated the ischemia-induced effects in response to the injury, resulting in higher endogenous S1P production.

Structurally, β₃-AR is very similar to β₁- and β₂-AR and belongs to a G-protein coupled receptor that uses cAMP as an intracellular second messenger. Alternatively, it also activates the NO-cGMP cascade. Stimulation of the β₃-AR increases lipolysis, fatty acid oxidation, energy expenditure, and insulin action, leading to anti-obesity and anti-diabetic activity. Moreover, β₃-AR differentially regulates the myocardial contraction and relaxes the urinary bladder to balance the cardiac activity and delay the micturition reflex, respectively. In recent years, this receptor has served as an attractive target for the treatment of obesity, type 2 diabetes, congestive heart failure, and overactive bladder syndrome.
