Establishing an animal model that can simulate clinical pediatric-to-adult (P→A) kidney transplantation is important for studying the characteristics and potential mechanisms related to this rapid graft growth. In the P→A group, kidneys harvested from 3- to 4-week-old Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats weighing &lt;50 g were transplanted into adult SD rats (300-400 g). Novel techniques were employed using recipient common iliac vessels for vascular anastomosis and ureter graft drag-in connection to the recipient bladder. As a control group, conventional kidney transplantation was performed between adult SD rats (A→A group). A total of 11 transplants were performed in the P→A group. Eight recipients survived to 28 days without obvious complications and were euthanized for graft harvesting and analysis. Ultrasonography showed that the renal grafts grew significantly faster in the P→A group than in the A→A group during the first 7 days after transplantation, and the size of the renal grafts in the two groups was similar on day 28. Histology revealed significant glomerular enlargement and cell proliferation in the pediatric donor kidneys, with signs of hyperfiltration injury but without podocyte proliferation. Proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) in the P→A group showed significant cell proliferation and hypertrophy.

Adult MMD-related datasets GSE189993 and GSE157628 were procured from the GEO database for screening of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was employed to unveil the most significant module associated with MMD. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression was used to identify and validate diagnostic markers for MMD. CIBERSORT and ssGSEA analyses were conducted to estimate immune cell infiltration in MMD vessels. In vitro experiments were performed to validate the biological functions of Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) in mouse aortic smooth muscle cells (MOVAS). A total of 436 DEGs were identified from GSE189993, comprising 202 up-regulated genes and 234 down-regulated genes. Within the green-yellow module, 87 genes overlapped with DEGs, and 6 genes were identified by Cytoscape as key factors in the pathophysiology of MMD, namely, platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (PECAM1), von Willebrand factor (VWF), intercellular cell adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1), vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC), tissue-type plasminogen activator (PLAT), and S1PR1. Gene Ontology (GO), and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses also showed that key genes were mainly involved in endothelial cells and cell adhesion-related biological function. About 13 diagnostic genes were obtained by the LASSO regression algorithm, with S1PR1 emerging as a hub gene demonstrating good diagnostic performance in both the test set and validation set. Finally, we validated that overexpression of S1PR1 spurred viability, proliferation, and cell division in mouse aortic smooth muscle cells (MOVAS) and human cerebral vascular smooth muscle cells (HCVSMC) by activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Aging of the first organ, the ovary, is accompanied by increased oxidative stress levels in the ovary, causing a decline in the ovarian reserve and follicular atresia. Ferroptosis is a novel mode of programmed cell death discovered in recent years and is involved in the onset and development of various diseases. To investigate whether ferroptosis regulates ovarian aging, we first examined granulosa cells from patients with a normal ovarian reserve, decreased ovarian reserve (DOR), and advanced age (Aged). <i>GPX4</i>, a key gene involved in ferroptosis, was identified. The marker of its activity, glutathione (GSH), was significantly downregulated in granulosa cells from the DOR and Aged groups. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed abnormal changes in mitochondrial morphology in granulosa cells from the DOR and Aged groups. In vitro, granulosa cell culture results showed that ferroptosis inducers inhibited cell growth by downregulating GPX4 expression. In contrast, ferroptosis inhibitors reversed the inhibitory effects of ferroptosis on granulosa cell growth by upregulating GPX4 expression. The results of mice in vivo experiments showed that the expression level of GPX4 was significantly decreased in the oocytes of aged mice and that Fer-1, an inhibitor of ferroptosis, reversed the decrease in the number of oocytes retrieved and the quality of oocytes in aged mice. Cyclophosphamide (CTX) was used to generate a mouse model of premature ovarian failure. The results showed that Fer-1 treatment significantly restored the inhibitory effect of CTX on GPX4 expression in the cumulus cells and partially reversed the adverse effects of CTX on the follicular reserve in the ovaries, the number of oocytes retrieved, and the quality of the oocytes in mice.

Prior to evaluations, hamsters were injected with indocyanine green (ICG), a fluorescent dye that binds to various proteins and lipids in the systemic circulation. The WTD increased plasma levels of total and HDL cholesterol 1.8- and 2.1-fold, respectively, and led to additional HDL<sub>2</sub> and HDL<sub>3</sub> subpopulations. The diet also increased the ICG fluorescence in the retinal pigment epithelium and the underlying choroidal circulation on histological tracking and altered retinal protein abundance as assessed by proteomics. Functional enrichments were found in the retinal gene expression, energy production, intracellular transport, cytoskeleton- and synapse-related processes, and protein ubiquitination. The biochemical basis linking the WTD, retinal energy production, and retinal neurotransmission was suggested as well.
