Lonidamine (LND) has been reported to possess anti-inflammatory effects; however, few studies have investigated whether LND exerts a therapeutic effect on MASH. Therefore, in this study, we aim to explore the effects of LND on inflammatory responses and abnormal lipid metabolism in MASH mice. A mouse MASH model is established by feeding C57BL/6 mice a high-fat, high-cholesterol (CL) diet. The results show that LND attenuates CL-induced increases in body weight, serum glucose and lipid levels, inflammatory responses, and hepatocellular steatosis. In addition, the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway is inhibited, and the expression level of sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1) protein is significantly reduced. Meanwhile, <i>in vitro</i> models of cellular inflammation and lipid metabolism are simulated, and molecular docking and biolayer interferometry (BLI) analysis are used to verify that LND and SREBP1 have a direct interaction and that LND promotes the degradation of SREBP1. Furthermore, specific knockdown of <i>Srebp1</i> in AML12 cells is performed to further verify the effect of LND on MASH. The results confirm that LND exerts anti-inflammatory effects in MASH by inhibiting the activity of the MAPK signaling pathway and improves abnormal lipid metabolism through its interaction with SREBP1.

They often appear as gaps or breaks in mitotic chromosomes by conventional optical microscopy and are also loci that are replicated in mitosis in a process called mitotic DNA synthesis (MiDAS). However, we still have a very poor understanding of the potential mechanisms underlying their genomic instability. We recently found that in normal mitotic chromosomes, there is a two-level hierarchy in the higher-order chromatin structure, with mechanically resistant ~90 nm Mitotic NanoDomains (MNDs) assembling into ~125 nm compact granules (CGs). In this work, we combine multiple super-resolution imaging techniques, including binding-activated localization microscopy (BALM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM), to characterize CFSs. Our super-resolution data indicate that sites that appear as gaps by conventional microscopy can be filled with chromatin of the size and shape of MNDs but not CGs. Moreover, we find that MiDAS loci only form an array of MNDs with no CGs. Taken together, our work suggests that under replication stress, CFS loci can not only be replicated but also assembled into higher-order chromatin. However, this organization is limited to the level of MNDs, which suggests that a failure to progress beyond MNDs to form CGs constitutes a key structural deficiency at these loci.</p>","PeriodicalId":6978,"journal":{"name":"Acta biochimica et biophysica Sinica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147353348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
