However, concerns have emerged concerning their link to cancer therapy-related cardiovascular dysfunction (CTRCD). Bortezomib, a reversible first-generation inhibitor, and carfilzomib, a second-generation irreversible inhibitor, are associated with hypertension, heart failure, and cardiac arrhythmias. The current study investigated the effects of bortezomib and carfilzomib on cardiac (left ventricular ejection fraction, LVEF) and vascular (arterial stiffness, vascular reactivity) function. Cardiac function assessment aimed to build upon existing evidence of proteasome inhibitors CTRCD, while arterial stiffness served as an early indicator of potential vascular remodeling. Groups of 12-week-old C57BL/6J male mice (<i>n</i> = 8 per group) were randomly assigned to receive vehicle, carfilzomib (8 mg/kg I.P.), or bortezomib (0.5 mg/kg I.P.). Additionally, proteasome inhibition was assessed in mice treated with L-NAME (0.5 mg/kg) to induce hypertension. Cardiac and vascular parameters were evaluated via echocardiography on days 0 and 3. On day 6, mice were sacrificed for ex vivo analysis of arterial stiffness and vascular reactivity. Overall, no changes in arterial stiffness were detected either in vivo or ex vivo at basal pressures. However, a steeper pressure-stiffness curve was observed for carfilzomib in normotensive (<i>p</i> < 0.01) and hypertensive (<i>p</i> < 0.0001) mice ex vivo. Additionally, in hypertensive mice, carfilzomib decreased LVEF (<i>p</i> = 0.06), with bortezomib exhibiting similar trends. Vascular reactivity remained largely unchanged, but proteasome inhibition tended to enhance endothelial-independent relaxations in both control and hypertensive mice. In conclusion, short-term treatment with carfilzomib and bortezomib is considered relatively safe for the protocols assessed in the study.</p>","PeriodicalId":48624,"journal":{"name":"Biology-Basel","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11504385/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142510876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Immune cells like macrophages, microglia, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, and T lymphocytes are known to infiltrate the glioma tumor microenvironment and regulate immune response distinctively. Among the variety of immune cells, T lymphocytes have highly complex and multifaceted roles in the glioma immune landscape. T lymphocytes, which include CD4<sup>+</sup> helper and CD8<sup>+</sup> cytotoxic T cells, are known for their pivotal roles in anti-tumor responses. However, these cells may behave differently in the highly dynamic glioma microenvironment, for example, via an immune invasion mechanism enforced by tumor cells. Therefore, T lymphocytes play dual roles in glioma immunity, firstly by their anti-tumor responses, and secondly by exploiting gliomas to promote immune invasion. As an immunosuppression strategy, glioma induces T-cell exhaustion and suppression of effector T cells by regulatory T cells (Tregs) or by altering their signaling pathways. Further, the expression of immune checkpoint inhibitors on the glioma cell surface leads to T cell anergy and dysfunction. Overall, this dynamic interplay between T lymphocytes and glioma is crucial for designing more effective immunotherapies.

Mental health traits are currently difficult to measure, resulting in a gap in understanding their genetic basis. To address this challenge, we propose a computational framework called mental health of animals (MeHA), capable of revealing genes related to animal mental health traits. Using MeHA, we identified 109 candidate genes associated with pig mental health and discovered their intricate connections with critical functions, such as memory, cognition, and neural development, which are essential components of mental health and cognitive performance. Importantly, our findings provide evidence of the potential impact of these genes on economically important traits, including meat quality and piglet survival. This research underscores the importance of genetic studies in enhancing our understanding of animal behavior and cognition, as well as promoting agricultural practices. By applying our approach to study the genetic basis of mental health in pigs as a case, we confirmed that our framework is an effective way to reveal genetic factors affecting animal mental health traits, which contributes to animal welfare and has potential implications for understanding human mental disorders.</p>","PeriodicalId":48624,"journal":{"name":"Biology-Basel","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11504952/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142516737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also reflects an individual's health status and serves as an important method of expressing personality. Hair loss and graying are significant psychosocial burdens for many people. Hair is produced from hair follicles, which are exclusively controlled by the dermal papilla (DP) at their base. The dermal papilla cells (DPCs) comprise a cluster of specialized mesenchymal cells that induce the formation of hair follicles during early embryonic development through interaction with epithelial precursor cells. They continue to regulate the growth cycle, color, size, and type of hair after the hair follicle matures by secreting various factors. DPCs possess stem cell characteristics and can be cultured and expanded in vitro. DPCs express numerous stemness-related factors, enabling them to be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) using only two, or even one, Yamanaka factor. DPCs are an important source of skin-derived precursors (SKPs). When combined with epithelial stem cells, they can reconstitute skin and hair follicles, participating in the regeneration of the dermis, including the DP and dermal sheath. When implanted between the epidermis and dermis, DPCs can induce the formation of new hair follicles on hairless skin. Subcutaneous injection of DPCs and their exosomes can promote hair growth. This review summarizes the in vivo functions of the DP; highlights the potential of DPCs in cell therapy, particularly for the treatment of hair loss; and discusses the challenges and recent advances in the field, from basic research to translational applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":48624,"journal":{"name":"Biology-Basel","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11504027/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142510923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
