Using zebrafish, we examined the effects of monotypic and combined diets of live feed and commercial feed on behavioural outcomes, morphometry, and gut microbiota. After chronic dietary intervention, fish receiving a mixed diet (Artemia, pellet, and spirulina) showed behavioural profile with enhanced exploration, reduced anxiety-like behaviour, and moderate aggression, alongside a balanced gut microbial composition. In contrast, monotypic diets produced distinct effects: Artemia-only fish displayed reduced boldness, heightened anxiety, and pathogenic microbial enrichment, while pellet-only fish showed greater growth but increased aggression.

Yet, the molecular mechanisms driving these detrimental changes remain largely elusive. Hindlimb unloading (HLU), a model of simulated microgravity, induces endoplasmic-reticulum (ER) stress, and its role in maladaptive cardiac remodeling remains unknown. To investigate the impact of HLU, its underlying molecular mechanisms and the therapeutic potential of ER stress suppression, C57BL6 mice were assigned to grounded control (GC) or HLU group. HLU mice received daily vehicle or 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA), an ER stress inhibitor, for 21 days. Additionally, HL-1 cardiomyocytes were treated with the ER stress inducer thapsigargin, with or without 4-PBA, to explore the cross-communication between ER stress and mitochondrial and metabolic dysfunction in vitro. Cardiac transcriptomic analysis revealed significant gene dysregulation in HLU compared to GC hearts. In HLU hearts, downregulated genes were mainly enriched for mitochondrial function and metabolic pathways, while upregulated genes were linked to extracellular matrix (ECM) pathways. Conversely, HLU mice treated with 4-PBA showed upregulation of mitochondrial function-related genes and downregulation of ECM-related genes. The oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), which was downregulated in HLU hearts, became one of the most upregulated pathways following 4-PBA treatment. Consistent with the in vivo findings, thapsigargin-induced ER stress significantly compromised mitochondrial function, whereas co-treatment with 4PBA significantly preserved mitochondrial function. Together, our findings strongly suggest that prolonged bed rest or microgravity exposure triggers ER stress-induced mitochondrial and metabolic dysfunction in the heart, and pharmacological suppression of ER stress limits these detrimental cellular effects.</p>","PeriodicalId":19954,"journal":{"name":"Pflugers Archiv : European journal of physiology","volume":"478 1","pages":"11"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145763594","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}

We developed and validated a physiomechanical model based on the mechanical work done against buoyancy-affected body weight and hydrodynamic drag. Using this model, we compared the energetics of SWW with swimming and dry land walking (including hypogravity conditions) and analyzed self-selected walking speeds. The minimum COT occurred at hip immersion depth (0.2 m/s), rather than at intermediate speeds, with the J-shaped relationship observed only at knee immersion depth. Metabolic power, in contrast, remained relatively constant during self-selected walking across immersion depths. An immersion depth threshold near the center of mass emerged, above which swimming becomes more economical than SWW. Our physiomechanical model accurately predicted the measured COT. The interplay between buoyancy and drag dictates SWW energetics, shifting optimization away from intermediate speeds common on dry land. From a physiological perspective, these findings quantify the energetic consequences of human locomotor adaptation to the unique mechanical challenges posed by aquatic environments.

Although LPC was suggested to modulate TRPV2, the molecular mechanisms for this effect remain unclear. Here we used patch clamp and calcium imaging techniques to investigate if and how TRPV2 is modulated by LPC. Rat, mouse and human TRPV2 were not directly activated by LPC. Instead, 10 µM LPC induced a TRPV2-independent calcium influx and irreversible inward currents in HEK 293T cells. However, 3 µM LPC induced a reversible potentiation of membrane currents induced by 2-APB, cannabidiol (CBD), probenecid (PBC) and weak acids, but not to heat. This sensitization of TRPV2 was robust in whole cell experiments, but not in cell-free inside-out or outside-out patches. A disruption of the actin cytoskeleton with cytochalasin D, but also the depletion of cholesterol or sphingomyelin from the cell membrane diminished the potentiating effects of LPC on TRPV2.

Interestingly, the effect of pulsatile pressure on the intracellular calcium concentration in both vessels is determined by its systolic pressure. However, while calcium sensitivity of myogenic tone did not differ between static and pulsatile pressure conditions in small tail arteries, it was weaker under pulsatile pressure than under static pressure in gracilis arteries.

We investigated whether cognitive impairment induced by Aβ administration could affect the activation status of AANAT, a key hippocampal enzyme of melatonin synthesis. Male Wistar rats received intra-cerebroventricular Aβ injection. Two weeks after Aβ administration, the neuroinflammation was assessed by interleukin-1 (IL-1β) immunohistochemical staining.

The cognitive function was assessed using the Morris water maze behavioral test.The hippocampal AANAT activation status was assessed by Western blotting, and HPLC was used for melatonin level analysis. Aβ-induced spatial memory and LTP impairments were confirmed by increased escape latencies and alterations in the fEPSP slope. The Aβ provided a neuroinflammatory context, demonstrated by increased in the IL-1𝛽 staining. These alterations were accompanied by a reduction in the activation status of AANAT, as indicated by the p-AANAT/total AANAT ratio, in both the electrophysiology and behavioral experimental groups.These data suggest that the local activation status of AANAT may be contributed in the cognitive function of the hippocampus in a rodent model of cognitive decline induced by Aβ administration.</p>","PeriodicalId":19954,"journal":{"name":"Pflugers Archiv : European journal of physiology","volume":"478 1","pages":"4"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145715419","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}
