Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been implicated in ARDS progression, but the role of interleukin-36 (IL-36) in this process remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the regulatory mechanism of IL-36 via NETs and its impact on NF-κB activation in a murine model of LPS-induced ARDS. A lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ARDS model was established in C57BL/6 mice. Animals were divided into Control, ARDS, ARDS + IL-36, and ARDS + IL-36Ra groups. Pulmonary edema was assessed via wet/dry weight ratio, inflammatory cytokines were measured by ELISA, and histopathological changes were evaluated through H&E staining. NETs formation was analyzed using immunofluorescence and Western blot. NF-κB activation was detected via phosphorylation of p65. IL-36 administration exacerbated pulmonary edema, inflammatory cytokine levels (IL-10,TNF-α,MPO) and histopathological injury. Conversely, IL-36 receptor antagonist (IL-36Ra) attenuated these effects. IL-36 promoted NETs formation, as indicated by elevated citrullinated histone H3 (CitH3) and neutrophil elastase (NE) expression. NETs further enhanced IL-36-induced proinflammatory cytokine release and NF-κB activation in bronchial epithelial cells. IL-36Ra partially reversed NET-mediated NF-κB phosphorylation and inflammatory responses. IL-36 exacerbates LPS-induced ARDS by enhancing NETs formation and activating the NF-κB pathway, leading to amplified pulmonary inflammation and injury. Targeting IL-36 signaling may represent a potential therapeutic strategy to mitigate LPS-induced ARDS progression.</p>","PeriodicalId":21811,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147857219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluated the protective potential of Ophioparma ventosa (L.) Norman lichen extract against adverse effects of UV-C in Allium cepa L., a well-established bioindicator for genotoxicity and oxidative stress assessment.

Physiological parameters including germination percentage, root elongation, and weight gain were assessed. Genotoxic effects were evaluated using mitotic index (MI), micronucleus (MN) frequency, chromosomal aberrations (CAs), and DNA fragmentation (Comet assay). Malondialdehyde (MDA), proline levels, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities, and chlorophyll a and b contents were determined as oxidative stress markers. In addition, meristematic cell integrity was examined microscopically, and phenolic constituents of the extract were characterized by LC-MS/MS. UV-C exposure suppressed root growth, reduced MI, increased MN and CAs frequencies, elevated DNA fragmentation, and enhanced oxidative stress biomarkers, confirming its strong cytotoxic and genotoxic potential. Applied doses of the O. ventosa extract alone did not induce toxicity on A. cepa. In contrast, co-application of O. ventosa extract significantly mitigated these adverse effects in a dose-dependent manner. LC-MS/MS analysis revealed the presence of phenolic compounds, including p-coumaric acid, gallic acid, vanillin, gentisic acid and taxifolin, which likely contribute to the observed antioxidant and protective effects.

Peatland restoration is essential but may pose risks when hibernacula are not considered during rewetting, potentially leading to flooding, site loss, and population declines. Similar risks arise from construction activities in secondary habitats. Protecting these key sites is therefore vital for species conservation but requires reliable methods to locate them. Traditional monitoring approaches, such as visual surveys and telemetry, are often invasive, imprecise, or resource-intensive. This study tested whether a trained adder detection dog could identify adder scent-using sheds and fecal swabs-beneath substrate in controlled line-up experiments and under field conditions. In the line-up tests, we assessed how sample type, burial depth, and substrate influenced detection performance, whereas field searches evaluated detection success under more realistic conditions. In a pilot study, we further examined whether the dog could generalize from collected odor samples to live adders by testing its ability to locate the hibernacula of two previously tagged individuals. In the line-up experiments, the dog identified both sheds and fecal swabs with high sensitivity, performing slightly better with sheds. Detection remained effective at depths of up to 1.2 m, although detection success declined with increasing depth. Under field conditions, the dog reliably detected samples buried at a depth of 50 cm without any false indications. In the pilot study, the dog successfully located hibernating adders, demonstrating that training non-invasively with collected odor samples rather than live animals can be sufficient for this purpose. These findings suggest that detection dogs represent a promising, non-invasive, and efficient tool for locating adder hibernacula.

Relative fat mass (RFM) has recently emerged as a more accurate surrogate for body fat percentage than the Body Mass Index (BMI).

This cross-sectional study evaluated 3,933 adolescents (aged 12-19 years) from the 2011-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Multiple imputation was applied to manage missing covariates. We employed weighted multivariate linear regression to assess the association between RFM and total BMD. Appendicular Lean Mass Index (ALMI) was integrated as a core covariate to isolate the metabolic influence of adiposity from its mechanical loading effects. In the unadjusted model, RFM showed no significant correlation with total BMD (β = 0.001, P = 0.122).

Beyond these respective thresholds, the decline in bone mineral accrual significantly accelerated (P < 0.001). After accounting for the mechanical loading effects of ALMI, higher RFM is independently associated with reduced total BMD in adolescents.

Bayesian optimization (BO) with Gaussian process regression (GPR) can guide data-efficient searches, but its performance depends on the dimensionality of the inputs. Here, we evaluate nonlinear dimensionality reduction (DR) methods, namely t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) and uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP), in comparison with principal component analysis (PCA) for biobased foam optimization. Using an existing dataset comprising 26 distinct methylcellulose-cellulose fiber foam formulations with rheological and mechanical measurements, we first train a Gaussian process (GP) on low-dimensional representations of rheological observables. BO is then applied in a single-step, non-sequential manner on this fixed dataset, to evaluate the quality of the latent representations and identify high-yield-stress regions. A second GP maps foam-formulation compositions to the reduced rheological coordinates, enabling reconstruction of candidate formulations in the composition space. Across all DR methods, BO identifies similar high-performing formulations achieving yield stress values comparable to the experimentally validated optimum. PCA acts as a baseline due to its deterministic and hyperparameter-free nature, while nonlinear methods can achieve comparable performance when appropriately tuned. These findings demonstrate that nonlinear DR-assisted BO provides a data-efficient framework for optimizing rheology-governed soft-matter materials.</p>","PeriodicalId":21811,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147857101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
