RNA-seq data from TCGA and GTEX databases were analyzed to explore the relationship between B166 and GBM, as well as between B166 and SREBP1. Functional experiments were performed to determine whether SREBPs could regulate B166 expression level and to identify the major regulator of B166. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to investigate the cellular distribution of B166 in GBM. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was employed to determine the regulatory effects of SREBP1-a. CellROX Deep Red dye was applied to detect mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. The results revealed that B166 protein was significantly upregulated in GBM tissues compared with lower-grade gliomas and normal brain tissues (p<0.0001). The B166 expression level was elevated through SREBP1-a-mediated regulation in GBM, simultaneously decreasing endogenous ROS levels to maintain cellular redox homeostasis and preserve normal mitochondrial function. Reducing SREBP1 level decreased both RNA and protein expression levels of B166. Overexpression of the active form of SREBP1-a elevated the protein levels of B166 in both the mitochondria and nucleus. Pharmacological suppression of SREBP1 or genetic inhibition of B166 disrupted redox homeostasis, resulting in elevated oxidative stress and rapid cell death. In conclusion, B166 may serve as a promising therapeutic target for GBM. Its overexpression could enhance ROS elimination, highlighting its potential therapeutic benefits for GBM patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":49326,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Cellular Pathology","volume":"2026 1","pages":"e6120748"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13580799/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147437196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building on these properties, the present study investigated the potential effects of MC on hepatic lipid metabolism and obesity-related parameters in mice fed a HFHS diet. Male C57BL/6J mice (6 weeks old) were fed an HFHS diet for 4 weeks and subsequently divided into four dietary groups, receiving either continued HFHS, Cissus quadrangularis (CQ; positive control), MC 125 (125 mg/kg), or MC 250 (250 mg/kg) for an additional 12 weeks. Compared with the HFHS group, MC supplementation was associated with lower body weight gain, hepatic lipid accumulation, and epididymal adipocyte size. Histological findings were consistent with these changes in adipose tissue. At the molecular level, MC supplementation was associated with altered hepatic expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism, including decreased expression of the lipogenesis-related genes SREBP-1c, ACC, FAS, and SCD1, as well as alterations in C/EBPα and PPARγ expression. In addition, the expression of fibrosis-related genes Col1α1 and αSMA was decreased in the MC-supplemented groups.
