However, the causal relationships between immunocyte phenotypes and childhood diseases remain unclear. This study employed a two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis to assess causal associations between 731 immunocyte phenotypes and four major childhood diseases: childhood obesity, childhood absence epilepsy, childhood asthma, and childhood allergies. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) data were used, and stringent instrumental variable (IV) selection and multiple sensitivity analyses, including MR-Egger, weighted median, and leave-one-out tests, were applied to validate the robustness of the results. Significant associations were identified between specific T cell, monocyte, and B cell phenotypes and childhood diseases. Notably, CD8bright T cells and CD19 + B cells were positively correlated with childhood obesity, while monocyte subtypes were strongly associated with asthma pathophysiology. Reverse MR analysis indicated no significant causal effects of childhood diseases on immune phenotypes, except for negative associations between childhood asthma and TCRgd AC, and childhood allergy and CD28 + CD45RA + CD4 + cells. These findings highlight the critical role of immune dysregulation in childhood disease etiology and suggest potential targets for immunomodulatory therapies. Understanding these immune-disease interactions may inform novel pharmacological interventions, particularly in immune-mediated disorders such as asthma and obesity.

Tryptophan (Trp) and vitamin A (retinol, Ret) are known to influence the immune response of DCs to gliadin and increase their tolerogenicity. CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + regulatory T cells (Tregs), which are important for immune tolerance, can be generated from naive T cells in the presence of retinoic acid (RA) and TGF-β.The aim of this study was to determine the combined effect of Ret and Trp in altering the phenotypic and functional maturation of DCs by gliadin and their contribution to the differentiation of Tregs. Monocyte cells derived from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with celiac disease were differentiated into DCs and stimulated with PT-gliadin. These cells were then treated with Trp + Ret. The expression of CD11c, CD14, CD83, CD86, PDL1, CD4, CD25 and FOXP3 was examined using flow cytometry. TGF-β, IL-10, IL-12, and TNF-α levels were measured by ELISA. qRT-PCR was used to quantify the mRNA levels of retinaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (RALDH2), integrin αE (CD103), and NF-κB. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) mRNA and protein levels were assessed using qRT-PCR and Western blot assays, respectively. The maturation of DCs by PT-gliadin was defined through co-stimulatory molecule expression (CD83 and CD86) and promotion of TNF-α and IL-12 secretion. We found that after treatment with Ret + Trp, the production levels of IL-12, TNF-α, and NF-κB were significantly reduced, while the expression of IL-10, TGF-β, and the inhibitory markers PDL1, CD103, IDO, and RALDH2 by PT-gliadin-stimulated DCs was significantly increased. Furthermore, in a DC and T cell co-culture system, treatment of DCs with Ret + Trp increased TGF-β expression in DCS and promoted CD4 + CD25 + FOXP3 Treg induction.

The incidence of DILI has risen in recent years.

RNA sequencing data related to DILI and associated clinical data were sourced from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and IRGs were obtained from the ImmPort database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from DILI and IRGs were intersected to identify differentially expressed immune-related genes (DEIRGs). Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were used to elucidate the biological functions of DEIRGs. In addition, a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of DEIRGs was constructed. Immunocytes and immune regulation analyses were conducted using the CIBERSORT tool. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of individual DEIRGs. Networks of transcription factor and microRNA co-regulation were constructed using the NetworkAnalyst database. The expression of DEIRGs in DILI samples was quantified with RT-qPCR. From GSE99878, 204 DEGs were identified, with 23 matching IRGs exhibiting significant expression differences in 17 DEIRGs. The ROC curve analysis suggested satisfactory diagnostic values for six DEIRGs. The potential gene regulatory network comprised 214 microRNAs, 257 transcription factors, and 23 DEIRGs.

Clinical medications and herbal remedies can either enhance or inhibit the activity of CYP enzymes, leading to potential drug interactions between herbal supplements and prescribed medications. Such interactions can lead to serious consequences, especially for drugs with a narrow therapeutic index, such as digoxin, warfarin, and cyclosporine A. In this review article, we provide an updated review of the impact of saffron, and its active constituents, safranal and crocin, on the 12 major human CYP enzymes and possible drug interactions between saffron and prescription drugs. The available evidence indicates that saffron and its active constituents affect the expression or activity of some CYP isoforms, including the CYP1A1/2, CYP3A4, and CYP2E1 subfamily. Considering the important role of these CYPs in the biotransformation of frequently prescribed medications and the activation of procarcinogen into carcinogenic metabolites, it can be expected that the consumption of saffron and its active constituents may influence the pharmacokinetics and toxicity of several substances. In particular, given the critical role of CYP3A4 in drug metabolism, and saffron's inhibitory impact on this CYP enzyme, it appears that saffron's most significant interaction is linked to its inhibition of CYP3A4. In addition, the inhibitory effect of saffron on CYP1A1/2, and CYP2E1 expression can play a role in the chemopreventive effect of this herbal medicine. Additional research is crucial for evaluating the clinical significance of these interactions in patients who consume saffron along with prescription drugs and determining the dose that can lead to drug interactions.</p>","PeriodicalId":18876,"journal":{"name":"Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's archives of pharmacology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143753665","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}

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formulations, like the Kouqiangjie Formula (KQJF), hold potential as alternative therapies due to their multiple pharmacological effects. This study comprehensively investigated the key active ingredients and molecular targets of KQJF in treating PD through a combination of network pharmacology, machine learning, Mendelian randomization (MR), and experimental validation. The active components and targets of KQJF were identified via the TCMSP and HERB databases, while PD-related genes were sourced from GeneCards, CTD, and DisGeNET. Gene expression data from GEO datasets enabled differential expression analysis. Machine learning models, including Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Machine (SVM), were employed to evaluate the diagnostic potential of gene sets. Molecular docking was utilized to assess the interactions between active ingredients and targets, and MR analysis was conducted to explore the causal relationships with PD. Experimental validation was carried out using a rat model. The results indicated that KQJF consists of 193 active compounds that target 561 proteins, with a significant overlap of 272 targets related to PD. Key compounds such as luteolin, linolenic acid, and naringenin were identified. The SVM model demonstrated excellent predictive performance, with an AUC of 0.954. MR analysis revealed a significant causal effect of the CASP3 gene on the risk of PD (OR = 1.595, p = 0.015). Experimental findings showed that these compounds could reduce the expression of CASP3 and improve the integrity of periodontal tissues. In conclusion, luteolin, linolenic acid, and naringenin are the core compounds in KQJF, and CASP3 is an important target.
