Here, we aimed to explore the effect of DHM on spinal cord injury (SCI). First, an SCI mouse model was established by external force injury and treated with DHM (150 mg/kg) by gavage for 28 days. The results showed that DHM alleviated neuronal injury and improved motor dysfunction in SCI mice. Moreover, DHM decreased the levels of pyroptosis-related proteins, such as IL-18, NLRP3, ASC, GSDMD, and Caspase-1, and upregulated the levels of oxidative stress-related proteins, such as SOD1 and HO-1, in SCI mice. Interestingly, DHM inhibited the stimulator of interferon gene (STING) protein expression in SCI mice. Next, microglia (BV-2 cells) were treated with hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) to construct a cell model and pretreated with 100 μM DHM for 24 h. The results showed that DHM promoted the expression of autophagy-related proteins (Beclin1, VPS34, CTSD, and LC3II), inhibited oxidative stress and pyroptosisin H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-induced BV-2 cells. 3-MA, an inhibitor of autophagy, STING overexpression vectors, and small interfering RNAs were used to reverse the effect of DHM on H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-induced microglia. 3-MA counteracted the protective effect of DHM on H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-induced BV-2 cells.

This review explores the complex connection between COVID-19 and Alzheimer's disease by examining both the direct effects of SARS-CoV-2 on the brain and the indirect impacts of the infection on the overall health of individuals with Alzheimer's disease. An overview of COVID-19 is provided, followed by a detailed discussion of Alzheimer's disease, including its clinical presentation and neuropathological consequences. Moreover, our review aimed to identify key candidate genes, such as ACE2, TMPRSS2, OAS1, and APOE4, which have been implicated in COVID-19 and AD. We analyzed data from multiple genomic and transcriptomic databases to elucidate the genetic factors underlying the association between these two conditions. Furthermore, with advancements in contemporary genomic technologies, this review highlights potential genetic mutations and variations that may serve as crucial biomarkers, risk predictors, and therapeutic targets.

This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of exosomes from ADSC on the hearts of MI-treated mice and to explore the underlying mechanisms. Cellular and molecular mechanisms were investigated using cultured ADSCs. On C57BL/6 J mice, we performed myocardial MI model. HMEC-1 was used to identify the regulatory mechanism. ELISA was used for inflammatory factor expression detection. Luciferase report analysis detection showed the relationship among miR-138-5p, Sirt1 and circ-Hipk3. ADSCs exosome treatment significantly alleviates MI induced myocardial damage by promotion autophagy and inhibits inflammatory response. Circ-Hipk3 play an important role in ADSCs exosome mediated protective effect on MI induced myocardial damage. Luciferase report analysis confirmed that miR-138-5p and SIRT1 were at circ-Hipk3 downstream. Downregulation SIRT1 or upregulation miR-138-5p reversed the regulation effect of circ-Hipk3 on autophagy and inflammatory factor expression.

In summary, these findings show that circ-Hipk3 from ADSC-Exos can alleviate cardiac injury in MI-treated mice via the miR-138-5p/Sirt1 axis mediated autophagy signaling pathway.

This study comprehensively assessed transcriptomic data of primary AML patients from TARGET and BEAT-AML cohorts from the TCGA database.

Moreover, RT-PCR was used to compare the expression of the identified prognosis-related genes between AML patients and non-leukemic groups to confirm the obtained bioinformatics data. The analysis resulted in the identification of 39 common significant DEmRNAs in both cohorts. Moreover, among the identified common genes, the expression levels of two genes, MME and RBM11, significantly correlated with the OS of AML patients; it was revealed that there was a significant negative correlation between a higher survival rate in AML patients and the lower expression of MME (log-rank P = 1.3*10<sup>-7</sup> and Hazard Ratio (HR = 1.38 (1.22-1.56)) and RBM11 (log-rank P = 0.016 and HR = 1.25 (1.04-1.5)).

Growth plate injuries frequently result in the formation of a bone bridge, leading to limb length discrepancies and angular deformities. Angiogenesis is a critical factor in the repair process, as new blood vessels deliver oxygen, nutrients, and cellular components essential for bone regeneration. Tie2-expressing macrophages (TEMs) play a pivotal role in promoting angiogenesis in tumors and remodeled tissues; however, their precise function and regulatory mechanisms in epiphyseal plate injury repair remain unclear. This study investigates the role of the VHL/HIF-1α/Tie2/AMPK/Autophagy axis in TEM-mediated angiogenesis. Our findings identify VHL as a key regulator of TEM-driven angiogenesis, where VHL overexpression suppresses, and VHL silencing enhances the pro-angiogenic potential of TEMs. Mechanistically, VHL downregulates HIF-1α, reducing Tie2 surface expression, which in turn modulates AMPK-mediated autophagy. This pathway influences VEGF secretion, thereby promoting endothelial cell proliferation, migration, survival, and tube formation. These findings uncover a novel regulatory mechanism governing TEM-mediated angiogenesis and offer insights into potential therapeutic strategies to enhance vascularization, improve growth plate injury repair, and mitigate long-term orthopedic complications.</p>","PeriodicalId":482,"journal":{"name":"Biochemical Genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144648161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
