PCSK9 belongs to the pro-protein convertase family and is capable of modulating cholesterol metabolism and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). PCSK9 is associated with endothelial dysfunction and its suppression is conducive to vascular function. The aim of this study was to explore PCSK9 expression in the lung tissues of patients with COPD and investigate the regulation of PCSK9 in cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-exposed human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMECs) and an in vivo cigarette smoke (CS)-exposed mouse model. PCSK9 is drastically upregulated in the lung tissues of patients with COPD relative to those of individuals who have never smoked. PCSK9 expression in HPMECs and the CS-exposed mouse model was found to increase. Functional assays demonstrated that PCSK9 silencing decreased CS-induced lung injury and neutrophil and macrophage infiltration. PCSK9 silencing also abolished CSE-induced apoptosis by upregulating Bcl-2 and downregulating Bax expression in COPD mice and cell models. PCSK9 silencing alleviated the inflammatory response in the BALF of CS-exposed mice and CSE-treated HPMECs. The protein expression of P65, NLRP3, ASC, TLR4, p-P65, MyD88, and caspase-1 in mouse BALF and HPMECs was inhibited after PCSK9 knockdown.

Histological analysis revealed that APS protected the adrenal cortex from apoptosis and inflammatory infiltration. Metabolomic analysis identified 154 differentially regulated metabolites, including significant changes in steroid hormones.

Electrocardiography (ECG), biochemical, oxidative stress, inflammatory mediators, electrolyte balance, histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses, and DNA fragmentation were evaluated. Liposomal delivery of ACCF has shown promise in regulating ECG criteria and reducing myocardial markers, particularly AST, LDH, MMP-2, creatine kinase, and troponin-I. It also improves lipid metabolism and inhibits myocardial oxidative stress. Additionally, ACCF and ACCF-liposomes treatment improves cardiomyocyte architecture and reduces DNA fragmentation in myocardial infarcted rats. Furthermore, encapsulating ACCF within liposomes statistically reduced the expression of iNOS and Beclin-1 in cardiac tissue.

Firstly, the expressions of TCF4 in neuroblastoma tissues and cell lines were analyzed, and the expressions of TCF4 mRNA and protein were significantly up-regulated. Functional analysis demonstrated that sh-TCF4 could significantly proliferate neuroblastoma cells, which was measured by CCK-8 kit, EdU staining, and clone formation experiments. Concurrently, TCF4 knockdown significantly elevated ROS accumulation and lipid peroxidation levels. Besides, sh-TCF4 decreased the levels of FTH1 and increased the TFR1 expression. Mechanistically, bioinformatic analysis using the JASPAR database predicted TCF4 binding sites within GPX4 promoter, a key ferroptosis regulator. ChIP and dual-luciferase reporter assays confirmed direct TCF4 occupancy and transcriptional activation of GPX4. Rescue experiments further validated the axis, as GPX4 overexpression abrogated the anti-proliferative and pro-ferroptotic effects induced by sh-TCF4. Collectively, the findings revealed TCF4 as a critical promoter of neuroblastoma growth and ferroptosis resistance, acting through direct up-regulation of GPX4.
