Clinical studies have confirmed significant depletion of GSH in the hippocampus and the substantia nigra as an early diagnostic biomarker for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson disease (PD), respectively. External agents like anesthetics (inhaled and intravenous) have a different impact on GSH. There is significant depletion of the serum GSH peroxidase level after surgery with isoflurane anesthesia that is not found in patients administered intravenous propofol. The objective of this study is to evaluate the GSH level associated with isoflurane in vitro phantom model using non-invasive magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy and to detect residual isoflurane in a solution. MRS data was generated utilizing a 3T MR scanner (Prisma, Siemens) equipped with a 64-channel <sup>1</sup>H head coil and dual tune (<sup>19</sup>F/<sup>1</sup>H) head coil. The GSH data acquisition was performed using the MEGA-PRESS pulse sequence using experimental parameters: ON = 4.40 ppm, OFF = 5.00 ppm, TE = 120 ms, TR = 2500 ms, voxel size = 25 × 25 × 25 mm and average = 32. Isoflurane was detected using <sup>19</sup>F MRS studies using <sup>19</sup>F/<sup>1</sup>H head coil. GSH data was processed using KALPANA package and <sup>19</sup>F data was processed using Siemens package. The GSH peak area (without isoflurane) in a phosphate-buffered solution (PBS) solution (control) showed a slow decline over time due to natural oxidation of GSH to dimeric glutathione (GSSG). On the contrary, the GSH peak area in similar model is reduced significantly (p = 0.016) due to isoflurane induced oxidation of GSH to GSSG compared to control. We also report a concise general method for data generation and processing of <sup>1</sup>H MRS data for GSH as well as <sup>19</sup>F monitoring platform using <sup>19</sup>F MR spectroscopy. This is the first report wherein both <sup>1</sup>H and <sup>19</sup>F spectroscopy are applied to generate MRS data along with a unique data processing method. This method is highly sensitive and specifically detects GSH without ambiguity as well as isoflurane due to the unique chemical shift patterns of CF<sub>3</sub> and CHF<sub>2</sub> moieties. This non-invasive MRS approach is developed to monitor GSH-isoflurane interaction leading to oxidative stress and this approach can be extended for other inhaled anesthetics. This methodology using non-invasive <sup>19</sup>F MR spectroscopy needs further development for future clinical studies.</p>","PeriodicalId":510,"journal":{"name":"Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142845465","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}

After silencing LCN2, the mNSS was further increased, and the learning and cognitive ability was weakened. Similarly, silencing LCN2 increased the brain tissue water content, aggravated the histopathology degree, decreased the number of surviving neurons, and reduced the expression of neurotrophic factors in TBI model rats. In addition, the expression of M1 proinflammatory cytokines and polarization markers in microglia of TBI was increased, and the expression of M2 cytokines and markers was decreased after silencing LCN2.

This study explores the role of methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) in promoting osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) within an inflammatory microenvironment. An inflammatory environment was simulated in hPDLSCs using lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Both adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation capacities of hPDLSCs were assessed. In LPS-treated hPDLSCs, METTL3 was overexpressed, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining was performed alongside measurements of ALP activity, pro-inflammatory cytokines, METTL3, miR-141-3p, pri-miR-141, Zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1), runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), osteocalcin (OCN). N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and pri-miR-141 levels were quantified, and the binding of miR-141-3p to ZEB1 was analyzed. The results demonstrated that osteogenic differentiation in hPDLSCs was diminished under inflammatory conditions, coinciding with downregulated METTL3 expression. However, METTL3 overexpression enhanced osteogenic differentiation. METTL3 facilitated the conversion of pri-miR-141 into miR-141-3p via m6A modification, resulting in increased miR-141-3p levels, which in turn suppressed ZEB1 expression. Inhibition of miR-141-3p or overexpression of ZEB1 partially counteracted the positive effects of METTL3 on osteogenic differentiation.

Chondrocytes were isolated from the mouse to conduct in vitro assays. We evaluated cell viability and apoptosis using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. Western blotting assessed the levels of proteins related to apoptosis, extracellular matrix (ECM), and signaling pathways. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expression of ECM and signaling markers. ELISA was conducted to assess the levels of inflammatory markers. The OA mice model was established using surgical destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM), and then H&E staining and Safranin O staining were conducted to observe the histopathological changes in synovial tissues. TUNEL assay was used to detect cell apoptosis in vivo. Real-time RT-PCR was operated to measure mRNA level in vitro and in vivo. We discovered that Robinin reversed the IL-1β-induced decrease in chondrocyte viability. Robinin suppressed IL-1β-induced apoptosis of chondrocytes. The ECM destruction and inflammatory response induced by IL-1β were markedly reversed by Robinin incubation in the mouse chondrocytes. Besides, the upregulated cytokine mRNA levels in IL-1β-treated chondrocytes were reduced by Robinin treatment. The downregulation of COL2A1 level and upregulation of MMP13 and ADAMTS5 levels were counteracted by Robinin treatment. Robinin reduced the protein levels of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) but enhanced the level of phosphorylated p65 (p-p65) in IL-1β-stimulated chondrocytes and OA mice.
