This study investigates the role of lncRNA SNHG16 in macrophage polarization and its effects on the progression of AS. We assessed the expression of SNHG16 in macrophages and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) treated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) using qPCR. Cell proliferation was evaluated via EdU assay and western blotting, while flow cytometry and immunofluorescence were employed to analyze the polarization of macrophages. Foam cell formation was examined using Oil Red O staining. In a co-culture system, VSMCs treated with ox-LDL were cultured alongside macrophages pretreated with sh-SNHG16, and VSMC viability, migration, and motility were assessed using CCK-8, migration, and scratch assays. The levels of inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, IL-10, TGFβ, and TNFα, were quantified by ELISA. Our results show that SNHG16 expression is upregulated in ox-LDL-treated cells, which correlates with enhanced macrophage proliferation. Inhibition of SNHG16 promoted M1-to-M2 macrophage polarization, reducing foam cell formation and inflammation. Furthermore, SNHG16 knockdown limited VSMC viability and motility, while attenuating ox-LDL-induced inflammatory responses. In conclusion, suppression of SNHG16 favors M2 macrophage polarization and presents a potential therapeutic target for AS management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":6961,"journal":{"name":"Acta histochemica","volume":"127 2","pages":"Article 152248"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143906975","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}

Metamorphosis can be induced experimentally, and the most significant changes occur in the skin. These include thinning of the epidermis, increased keratinization of the stratified squamous epithelium, and loss of Leydig cells (LCs). Similar epidermal changes are observed in other metamorphic urodeles. Epidermal cells are responsible for the secretory function of the skin in juvenile amphibians, whereas dermal glands perform this function in adults after metamorphosis. In the axolotl, this occurrence is still partially understood. The only recognized epidermal secretory cells in juvenile <em>A. mexicanum</em> are the LCs, whose specific secretion products have not yet been characterized from the histochemical standpoint. Additionally, the persistence of LCs in adulthood, when mucous and serous (granular-protein secretion) glands are abundant, remains a matter of debate. The present study aims to describe the morphological and histochemical changes in the epidermis of 10 cutaneous regions from juvenile (4 months old) and adult (24 and 48 months old) non-metamorphic <em>A. mexicanum</em>, with a particular focus on the amount and histochemical characteristics of LCs. Results indicate that the juvenile epidermis is a stratified cuboidal epithelium formed by three strata: basal, spinosum (containing the LCs), and apical. The most superficial layer contains cuboidal cells that lack the characteristics of a true stratum corneum. In adults, the stratum apical is also formed by squamous cells, suggesting a transition to a cornified and squamous layer as age increases. Histochemical methods demonstrated that LCs are most likely serous and not mucous cells. On the other hand, cuboidal cells of the juvenile apical stratum would be responsible for producing mucous secretion components. Morphometric analysis revealed a significant decrease in both LCs and the epidermal thickness in the 24-month-old adult axolotl compared to the juvenile. While LC count and epidermal thickness in the 48-month-old adult showed a slight increase compared to the 24-month-old adult, these differences were not statistically significant and far lower than those observed in the juvenile axolotl, which exhibited the highest number of LCs and a thicker epidermis. These natural axolotl epidermal changes indicate a gradual transition toward a morphology resembling metamorphic skin as age advances. The decreased number of LCs and the transition from cuboid cells to squamous cells in the stratum apical suggest that both cell types may naturally disappear entirely at some point during development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":6961,"journal":{"name":"Acta histochemica","volume":"127 2","pages":"Article 152255"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143864230","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}

To promote the shift from the current two-dimensional tissue observation to three-dimensional tissue observation using a combination of tissue clearing and immunostaining, it is essential to establish a simple and easy-to-implement protocol that is compatible with observation using a confocal microscope, which is available in many facilities. In this study, we first examined the effects of tissue clearing and staining conditions of immunostaining with thin tissue slices. We showed that CUBIC-L enhances immunolabeling without diminishing the immunoreactivity of antigens. We also showed that high detergent concentrations enhance the intensity of immunoreactivity and that a two-step staining procedure is suitable for our proposed protocol. Based on the results, we propose a simple protocol that can be easily adapted from conventional methods and is compatible with confocal microscopes.

However, the mechanistic role of CGB5 in GC has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, this study investigated relevant genes that regulate GC through bioinformatics analysis. Methods: Immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and western blot (WB) detection methods were appropriately used to evaluate the expression pattern and clinical significance of CGB5 in 100 Chinese GC patients that were recruited from the Gaochun People's Hospital. The effect of small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) on apoptosis, migration, and invasion of GC cells was investigated in vitro. Three-dimensional tumor spheres of these two types of GC cells (NCI-N87 cells and MKN45 cells) were constructed before investigation of the Calcein acetoxymethyl ester (AM)/ Propidium iodide (PI) staining, flow cytometric apoptosis, and apoptotic-related protein content of the tumor spheres after siRNA inhibition of CGB5 expression. Results: It was observed that compared with adjacent normal gastric tissue, expression of CGB5 was significantly upregulated in GC tissue. The siRNA inhibited CGB5 expression in two GC cell lines (NCI-N87 cells and MKN45 cells). Also, it was discovered that CGB5 highly correlated with microsatellite instability (MSI) and immune cell activity in GC, thus revealing the greater research value of CGB5 gene. More importantly, CGB5 siRNA could inhibit invasion and migration of tumor cells, induce apoptosis of GC cells and GC tumor spheres, as well as the mechanism relating to regulation of apoptosis associated gene expression. Overall, the findings suggest that CGB5 may play a crucial role in the development of GC carcinogenesis. Thus, this research may contribute to design of potential drug targets for treatment of GC.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":6961,"journal":{"name":"Acta histochemica","volume":"127 2","pages":"Article 152254"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143852056","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}

EBV-infected lymphocytes occasionally exhibited nuclear cavities, a finding that was confirmed in multiple specimens from both patients with HIV and the PDX model. It was suggested that EBV-infected cells may activate cell death pathways, based on the protein expression patterns of p53 and FAS. Taken together, these results indicated that nuclear cavity formation appeared to be a characteristic morphological alteration associated with EBV infection.

Furthermore, we used, chromogenic DAB for IHC labelling. Seven different organs of a healthy New Zealand white rabbit were collected for this purpose, including kidney, liver, tonsil, tongue, duodenum, heart, and brain, respectively. A dual-coloured staining like Herovici turned out to be as good as two single-colour labellings utilising IHC. In some cases, co-localisation and extent of collagen I and III expression could be qualitatively visualised better using Herovici, with gradients of blue-violet-pink, than by mere comparison of labelling intensities side by side in two different sections, although taken at the same place as serial sections. Nevertheless, a quantitative analysis of the Collagen I-to-III ratio revealed no significant differences between these two approaches to assess the extracellular matrix composition. From these comparisons, we conclude that a Herovici staining is recommended as a valuable alternative staining to collagen I and III IHC; and it may act as a fast and cheap preliminary staining method.

We also observed that suppression of Livin expression in osteosarcoma cells increased their chemosensitivity to doxorubicin.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>This study showed that Livin shRNA inhibited the proliferation level and increased the sensitivity of drug-resistant osteosarcoma cell to doxorubicin, suggested that Livin is involved in drug resistance of human osteosarcoma and may serve as a promising therapeutic target for osteosarcoma.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":6961,"journal":{"name":"Acta histochemica","volume":"127 2","pages":"Article 152249"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143683336","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}
