These diseases often afflict the elderly, leading to disability, paralysis, and other complications. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays an important role in the occurrence and development of musculoskeletal diseases, which may have potential ther-apeutic significance for these diseases.RECENT ADVANCESRecently, it has been found that many musculoskeletal diseases, such as osteoporosis, periodontitis, muscle atrophy, muscle ischemia-reperfusion injury, mus-cle contraction under high fever, arthritis, and disc herniation, can be alleviated by sup-plementing H2S. H2S may be conducive to the development of multiple myeloma. The mechanism of H2S effect on the musculoskeletal system has been elucidated. A variety of H2S donors and nano-delivery systems provide prospects for H2S-based therapies.CRITICAL ISSUESRelated research remains at the level of cell or animal experiments, and clinical research is lacking. The role of H2S in more musculoskeletal disorders remains largely unknown. The importance of musculoskeletal diseases has not been widely con-cerned. Targeted delivery of H2S remains a challenging task.FUTURE DIRECTIONDevelop therapeutic drugs for musculoskeletal diseases based on H2S and test their safety, efficacy, and tolerance. Explore the combination of current musculo-skeletal disease drugs with H2S releasing components to improve efficacy and avoid side effects.

However, the contribution of 4-HNE to CSCs and cancer progression remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of 4-HNE on the regulation of CSC fate and tumor progression.METHODSHuman CRC cells were exposed to 4-HNE, and CSC signaling was analyzed using quantitative real-time PCR, immunofluorescent staining, fluorescence-activated cell sorting, and bioinformatic analysis. Tumor-promoting role of 4-HNE was confirmed using a xenograft model.RESULTSExposure of CRC cells to 4-HNE activated non-canonical Hedgehog (HH) signaling and homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathways in LGR5+ CSCs. Furthermore, blocking HH signaling led to a significant increase in the expression of γH2AX, indicating that 4-HNE induces double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs) and simultaneously activates HH signaling to protect CSCs from 4-HNE-induced damage via the HRR pathway. Additionally, 4-HNE treatment increased the population of LGR5+ CSCs and promoted asymmetric division in these cells, leading to enhanced self-renewal and differentiation. Notably, 4-HNE also promoted xenograft tumor growth and activated CSC signaling in vivo.INNOVATION AND CONCLUSIONThese findings demonstrate that 4-HNE, as a signaling inducer in the TME, activates the non-canonical HH pathway to shield CSCs from oxidative damage, enhances the proliferation and asymmetric division of LGR5+ CSCs, and thereby facilitates tumor growth. These novel insights shed light on the regulation of CSC fate within the oxidative TME, offering potential implications for understanding and targeting CSCs for CRC therapy.","PeriodicalId":8011,"journal":{"name":"Antioxidants & redox signaling","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142255051","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}

Accordingly, NAD<sup>+</sup> precursor supplementation appears to exert neuroprotective effects in ALS patients and mouse models. The mechanisms mediating neuroprotection remain uncertain but could involve changes in multiple cell types. We investigated a potential direct effect of the NAD<sup>+</sup> precursor nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) on the health of cultured induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived human motor neurons and in motor neurons isolated from two ALS mouse models, that is, mice overexpressing wild-type transactive response DNA binding protein-43 (TDP-43) or the ALS-linked human superoxide dismutase 1 with the G93A mutation (hSOD1<sup>G93A</sup>). <b><i>Results:</i></b> NMN treatment increased the complexity of neuronal processes in motor neurons isolated from both mouse models and in iPSC-derived human motor neurons. In addition, NMN prevented neuronal death induced by trophic factor deprivation. In mouse and human motor neurons expressing ALS-linked mutant superoxide dismutase 1, NMN induced an increase in glutathione levels, but this effect was not observed in nontransgenic or TDP-43 overexpressing motor neurons. In contrast, NMN treatment normalized the TDP-43 cytoplasmic mislocalization induced by its overexpression. <b><i>Innovation:</i></b> NMN can directly act on motor neurons to increase the growth and complexity of neuronal processes and prevent the death induced by trophic factor deprivation. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Our results support a direct beneficial effect of NAD<sup>+</sup> precursor supplementation on the maintenance of the neuritic arbor in motor neurons. Importantly, this was observed in motor neurons isolated from two different ALS models, with and without involvement of TDP-43 pathology, supporting its therapeutic potential in sporadic and familial ALS. <i>Antioxid.
