Methods : Unilateral nephrectomy was performed in Wistar rats, and the remaining kidney was clamped for 1 h prior to reperfusion to establish an experimental model system. These animals were then randomized into Sham, DEX + Sham, DEX + I/R, ATI (Altepamizole, α 2-adrenergic receptor inhibitor) + DEX + I/R, and 3-MA (3-methyladenine, autophagy inhibitor) + DEX + I/R groups. Serum renal function biomarkers, acute kidney injury (AKI) histopathological scores, serum inflammatory factors, redox biomarkers, markers of autophagic flux, and autophagosome numbers were assessed. Levels of proteins related to the autophagic pathway, including mTOR and AMPK, were also analyzed. Results : Serum creatinine and urea nitrogen levels in the I/R group were significantly elevated over those in sham control rats, as were AKI scores, serum inflammatory cytokine concentrations (IL-6, IL-1 β , and TNF-α ), and serum levels of the oxidative stress biomarker malondialdehyde (MDA). All of these parameters were significantly reduced in the DEX + I/R group relative to I/R model rats. I/R group rats also exhibited significant decreases in renal levels of autophagic flux-related biomarkers and autophagosome numbers relative to sham controls, while DEX administration partially restored normal autophagic flux in these rats. Acute I/R also suppress the expression of AMPK in the kidney while increasing mTOR expression, and DEX reversed these effects. The beneficial impact of DEX on I/R-associated AKI was ablated by ATI or 3-MA administration. Conclusions : These analyses provide strong evidence for the ability of DEX to protect against I/R-associated AKI via the α 2-AR/AMPK/mTOR pathway-mediated enhancement of autophagic activity.","PeriodicalId":50430,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138609601","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}

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a catechin, has been proven to promote diabetic wound healing. This study aims to explore the therapeutic mechanism of EGCG on diabetic wound healing. Methods : High glucose (HG)-induced keratinocytes and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced DM rats were prepared and intervened with EGCG to examine its therapeutic effects in in vivo and in vitro settings. The AMPK inhibitor, Compound C, was utilized to determine whether EGCG exerted its therapeutic effects through the AMPK/ULK1 pathway. Results : In vitro , EGCG improved HG-induced autophagy impairment in keratinocytes by increasing LC3II/LC3I, Becline1, and ATG5 levels and decreasing p62 level. Mechanically, EGCG activated the AMPK/ULK1 pathway, thereby promoting keratinocyte autophagy through the phosphorylation of AMPK and ULK1. Notably, EGCG promoted the proliferation, migration, synthesis and release of C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) in HG-treated keratinocytes. Furthermore, EGCG indirectly promoted the activation of fibroblasts, as evidenced by increased alpha-smooth muscle actin ( α -SMA) and Collagen I levels. In vivo , EGCG promoted wound healing in DM rats, primarily by reducing inflammatory infiltration and increasing granulation tissue to promote wound epithelialization. Besides, EGCG promoted ATG5, KRT10, KRT14, TGF-β 1, Collagen I, and α -SMA expressions in the neonatal epithelial tissues of DM rats. However, the use of Compound C reversed the effects of EGCG. Conclusions : These findings indicated that EGCG restored keratinocyte autophagy to promote diabetic wound healing through the AMPK/ULK1 pathway.","PeriodicalId":50430,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138612101","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}

The activity of β-arrestin2 was manipulated using either pharmacologic inhibitors or through recombinant β-arrestin2 over-expression. These experiments were conducted to determine the roles of β-arrestin2 in the regulation of AVP-induced IL-1β and NLRP3 inflammasome production. The phosphorylation and activation of NF-κB induced by AVP was measured by immunoblotting. β-arrestin2 knockout (KO) mice were used to investigate whether β-arrestin2 mediated the AVP-induced production of IL-1β and NLRP3, as well as the phosphorylation of the NF-κB p65 subunitin mouse myocardium. Prism GraphPad software(version 8.0), was used for all statistical analyses.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000AVP induced the expression of IL-1β in a time-dependent manner in ARCFs but not in cultured adult rat cardiomyocytes (ARCMs).

The fish Hubbsina turneri de Buen (1940) was studied as a model species in a historical context at varying locations. Originally distributed only in the Lerma-Chapala basin, the main lake complex in Mexico, this species has not been collected from Lake Cuitzeo (LC) and now is restricted to Lake Zacapu (LZ). At present, the Highland splitfin is classified as critically endangered.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000Historical information of LC and historical and current information from LZ were explored by applying cluster analysis and generalized additive mixed model (GAMM) to describe the biotic interactions among fish species and the relationship between density and environmental variables, respectively. The two lakes' contrasting abiotic/biotic characteristics provided elements to describe some species distribution limits in chemical ion gradients. Extirpation calendar dates were estimated using an optimal linear estimation method. Finally, a bibliographic review was conducted on the causes that promoted the extirpation and restriction of H. turneri and the prognosis for its reestablishment and conservation.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000Clusters showed the fishes relationship according to their distribution along the lakes. GAMM indicated that high H. turneri density is related to low hardness/fecal coliforms, medium depth/suspended solids, and high oxygen concentration. Estimated extirpation dates were between the years 2013 and 2018. The extirpation was linked to an abrupt drop in the LC volume, water quality degradation, increased biotic interactions within macrophytes habitats with native and introduced species, and fisheries bycatches. The current restricted range of H. turneri resulted from the draining of the larger lake, forcing the remaining populations to small spring-fed remnants. Recent samplings in LZ resulted in a low number of individuals.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000The integration of ecological interactions derived from statistical models, extirpation dates from nonparametric tests, and the exhaustive analysis of historical information can be applied to define the current situation of imperiled, ecologically relevant species, in different aquatic ecosystems. We are confident that this general framework is important for determining (1) the requirements and limitations of populations regarding abiotic variables, (2) biotic interactions (trophic and spatial) with native and introduced species, and (3) different anthropogenic stressors within and around the ecosystem. This knowledge will also allow understanding those aspects that contribute to the extirpation of populations and could help the restoration of the habitat and the reintroduction of extirpated species.","PeriodicalId":50430,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80311766","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}

Although polarity proteins have been generally considered tumor suppressors, recent discoveries led to reconsidering their role in cancer. This is also true for DLG5 in different cancer types, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this cancer, DLG5 was negatively associated with malignant characteristics, however recent findings associated DLG5 expression with advanced stages of HCC. In vitro studies evidenced its possible role in sustaining cell growth and migration by the interaction with several intracellular pathways, such as Hippo, Hedgehog, and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways. In this review, we summarize the recent finding on the dual role of DLG5 and other polarity proteins in cancers. What emerges is a still undefined role of those proteins in cancers, especially in HCC, one of the most frequent cancers worldwide, where the function of DLG5 and other polarity proteins is still largely unexplored.","PeriodicalId":50430,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72909450","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}
