Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), known for their multidirectional differentiation potential, have shown therapeutic potential in treating ischemic stroke associated with T2DM; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of BMSCs in T2DM-related ischemic stroke. A T2DM rat model was established and subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) to induce ischemic stroke. BMSCs were administered to evaluate their effects on body weight, blood glucose levels, modified neurological severity score (mNSS), infarct volume, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity in T2DM-MCAO rats. RNA sequencing was performed on brain tissues from T2DM-MCAO rats before and after BMSCs treatment to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Functional enrichment analysis, including Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis, quantitative real-time PCR, and western blot, were conducted to explore the underlying mechanisms. The results demonstrated that T2DM-MCAO rats exhibited increased body weight, elevated blood glucose levels, higher mNSS scores, larger brain infarct volumes, and BBB disruption, all of which were partially ameliorated by BMSCs treatment. Furthermore, BMSCs downregulated the expression of TLR4 and reduced the protein levels of p65 and phosphorylated p65 (p-p65), which were upregulated in T2DM-MCAO rats. Overexpression of TLR4 partially reversed the beneficial effects of BMSCs on functional outcomes, infarct volume, and BBB integrity. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that BMSCs alleviate T2DM-related ischemic stroke by suppressing TLR4 expression and inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for T2DM-associated ischemic stroke.</p>","PeriodicalId":18724,"journal":{"name":"Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144275392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a direct precursor to dopamine, L-DOPA is synthesized from L-tyrosine through the action of tyrosine hydroxylase and is subsequently converted into dopamine via aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase. Its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) makes it a crucial therapeutic agent for restoring dopaminergic neurotransmission, thereby influencing motor function, cognition, and neuroprotection. Beyond Parkinson's, L-DOPA's therapeutic potential extends to neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, multiple sclerosis, Lewy body dementia, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, where dopamine modulation plays a critical role. Furthermore, L-DOPA has demonstrated efficacy in neurological disorders including epilepsy, peripheral neuropathy, cerebrovascular diseases, and traumatic brain injury, suggesting broader neurobiological applications. However, long-term use is associated with challenges such as motor fluctuations, dyskinesias, and loss of therapeutic efficacy due to progressive neurodegeneration and alterations in dopaminergic pathways. Recent advancements in drug delivery systems, combination therapies, and nanotechnology, including plant-derived carbon dots, offer promising strategies to enhance L-DOPA's effectiveness while mitigating its limitations.

A sum of 61 patients was randomly assigned into two regions: one receiving a propofol-based regimen and the other, a volatile anesthetic regimen, both combined with opioid analgesia. Renal function was assessed preoperatively and postoperatively at 24 and 48 h using serum creatinine and cystatin C levels.

The presence of unfolded proteins triggers cellular mechanisms to either remove the unfolded proteins or reduce protein synthesis.

Indeed, cancer cells have a dysregulated protein synthesis capacity that enables them to survive in higher proliferative and growth states. The anterior gradient 2 (Agr2) protein is often overexpressed in multiple cancers to support the need for increased protein synthesis resulting from uncontrolled cell proliferation. Agr2 acts like a protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), catalyzing the formation of disulfide bonds in native proteins. Its expression in cancers has been associated with increased cell proliferation, metastasis, and invasion. Conversely, the lack of Agr2 has been associated with ER stress (ERS) and the activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway to restore cellular protein homeostasis. Furthermore, Agr2 can be secreted into the extracellular environment and has been detected in human urine and serum, highlighting its potential use as a cancer biomarker.

Natural products are considered potential candidates for the management of DM. Crocin, a natural carotenoid derived from saffron, has been reported to possess several pharmacological properties, including cardioprotective effects. The aim of the present study was to investigate the beneficial effects of crocin on the metabolic derangement of the diabetic myocardium. Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats were treated with 10 mg/kg of crocin daily for two weeks. Oral administration of crocin normalized blood glucose, HbA1c, triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL levels. Notably, crocin reduced the elevated protein levels of cardiac PPARα and PPARδ-major transcriptional regulators of cardiac metabolism-back to normal. Consequently, the expression of the fatty acid (FA) transporter CD36 was downregulated, the activity of the FA oxidation enzyme 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HOAD) was decreased, and intramyocardial triglyceride accumulation returned to physiological levels. Furthermore, crocin improved glucose uptake and metabolism in the diabetic myocardium, as evidenced by increased Akt phosphorylation, translocation of GLUT4 to the plasma membrane, enhanced activity of pyruvate kinase, and downregulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4). Importantly, the stimulatory effect of crocin on Akt phosphorylation was also confirmed in isolated cardiac myocytes exposed to high glucose, further supporting its direct role in modulating glucose signaling pathways. Crocin treatment also reduced STZ-induced elevations in the levels of inflammatory cytokines-interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-as well as the phosphorylation of IκBα, bringing them close to basal levels. Overall, these findings suggest that crocin activates Akt signaling and thereby alleviates diabetes-induced metabolic disturbances by restoring the balance between glucose and fatty acid utilization in the hearts of STZ-induced diabetic rats. Therefore, crocin supplementation may represent a promising approach for the development of natural compound-based adjunct therapies for diabetic cardiomyopathy.</p>","PeriodicalId":18724,"journal":{"name":"Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144216346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PSAT1 promoted the malignant behaviors of CRC cells. Although PSAT1 is an enzyme essential to serine biosynthesis, an exogenous supplement of serine did not completely rescue the malignant behaviors in PSAT1-knockdown CRC cells. Interestingly, PSAT1 inhibited the Hippo tumor-suppressor pathway by promoting the nucleus-localization of YAP/TAZ and increasing the expression of ID1 in CRC cells. Furthermore, AMOT, a vascular-related molecule that molecularly interacts with YAP/TAZ, was up-regulated upon PSAT1 knockdown in CRC cells. Knocking down AMOT partially rescued the inhibition of proliferation and the reduced nuclear localization of YAP/TAZ caused by PSAT1 knockdown in CRC cells. Moreover, PSAT1 was closely related to vascular-related pathways, in which AMOT might act as a mediator. Finally, PSAT1 promoted CRC proliferation by negatively regulating AMOT in vivo.
