This pathway is involved in the foam cell transformation of macrophages during the progression of atherosclerosis (AS). The role of salidroside (SAL) in cardiovascular diseases has been extensively studied, but its impact on macrophage foam cell formation has not yet been clearly clarified. We aimed to determine the effects of <i>15-Lox-2</i> deficiency on macrophage (Ana-1 cell) foam cell formation, and those of SAL on <i>15-Lox-2</i>-deficient macrophages. <i>15-Lox-2</i>-deficient macrophages were generated using short hairpin RNA. Results indicated that 15-Lox-2 expression in the aorta of atherosclerotic patients is lower than that of the normal group. Additionally, <i>15-Lox-2</i> deficiency dramatically promoted macrophage uptake of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) and increased the Cyclin D1 level while dramatically decreasing caspase3 expression. Furthermore, inflammation, complement, and TNF-α signaling pathways, along with IL1α, IL1β, IL18, and Cx3cl1, were activated in <i>15-Lox-2</i>-deficient macrophages. These changes were alleviated by SAL through inhibiting AA effects, and the effects of AA on macrophages could be inhibited by SAL. Consistently, phospholipase A2-inhibitor arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone (AACOCF3) restored these changes. In summary, SAL reversed the effects of <i>15-Lox-2</i> deficiency on macrophages by inhibiting excessive AA and may be a promising therapeutic potential in treating atherosclerosis resulting from <i>15-Lox-2</i> deficiency.</p>","PeriodicalId":19605,"journal":{"name":"Open Life Sciences","volume":"20 1","pages":"20251091"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12048898/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144040771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focuses on optimizing the extraction of phenolic compounds from by-products (peels, fibrous strands, and seeds) of two Tunisian squash landraces (e.g. Bejaoui and Karkoubi) using the response surface methodology to enhance their antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Ethanol concentration, extraction time, and temperature were the key parameters evaluated for their impact on phenolic compounds yield and bioactivity. High-performance liquid chromatography identified the major bioactive phenolic compounds, including vanillic acid, catechin gallate, hydroxytyrosol, and chlorogenic acid. The optimal extraction conditions for each by-product were defined as follows: Bejaoui peels (51.5% ethanol, 40.8°C, 50.5 min), fibrous strands (50.4% ethanol, 37.1°C, 36.3 min), and seeds (30% ethanol, 36.4°C, 8 min); Karkoubi peels (13.2% ethanol, 43.4°C, 47.2 min), fibrous strands (33.4% ethanol, 46.6°C, 10.8 min), and seeds (10.65% ethanol, 55.34°C, 23.16 min). The results demonstrated that optimizing extraction conditions may lead to significant enhancement of the total phenolic content and antiradical activity, with experimental values closely matching predictive models. Furthermore, the bioactive properties of these by-products, particularly their antibacterial activity, highlight their potential application as novel eco-friendly matrices for natural antioxidant and antimicrobial agents.

Human glioma cell lines U251MG and A172 were treated with 12.5, 25, and 50 nM convallatoxin. Cell proliferation was investigated using the CCK-8 assay and colony formation assay.

The phosphorylation of Janus kinase (JAK) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) was measured using Western blots. A xenotransplantation model of nude mice was used to investigate glioma progression. In U251MG and A172 cells, convallatoxin dose-dependently reduced cell viability and colony formation. Convallatoxin suppressed migration and invasion. Similarly, convallatoxin-treated cells had weakened angiogenesis. Convallatoxin downregulated JAK and STAT3 phosphorylation levels. Convallatoxin also inhibited glioma progression in nude mice xenotransplantation models.

Compared with the simple anthropogenic impact coefficient (CAI´), the hemeroby index, which accounts for both the quantity and quality of ecosystems, provides more detailed insights. At the national level, both indices had an equally close relationship with the proportion of natural habitats, but at the regional level, the results for the hemeroby index were better. Our findings indicate a strong negative correlation between human impacts and the proportion of natural habitats, emphasizing the importance of refined indicators for environmental monitoring and policy-making.
