In this study, we aimed to analyze bone fractures and bone mineral densities (BMDs) across patients receiving antidiabetic treatments, considering both overall and specific sites. We comprehensively searched PubMed, Embase, and ClinicalTrials.gov up to March 2024 to determine the effect of antidiabetic agent use on bone health in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The primary outcome was to reveal variations in fractures across different anti-diabetic treatment modalities. The secondary outcome was the differences in BMDs based on treatment type. The fractures were grouped based on the division of specific sites. We also performed a subgroup analysis to identify differences between treatment types by dividing the study by treatment duration. The protocol is registered (CRD42024538789). A total of 234,759 individuals were enrolled in the 242 studies. We observed a trend wherein all anti-diabetic treatments were associated with decreased risk of fracture compared with placebo; however, this was not significant in direct analysis (OR 0.92, 95% CI 0.84-1.01, I<sup>2</sup> = 0, P = 0.07).

Although levodopa remains the gold standard for managing PD motor symptoms, it lacks neuroprotective and disease-modifying effects, highlighting the need for new neuroprotective therapies. Mitophagy, the selective mitochondrial degradation by autophagy, is critical for neuronal health. Oleanolic acid, a natural hepatoprotective compound, shows uncertain efficacy in PD treatment. This study investigated the neuroprotective effects and underlying mechanisms of oleanolic acid using the 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP⁺)-induced cellular model and the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced mouse model of PD. In vitro, oleanolic acid demonstrated dopaminergic neuroprotection by reducing mitochondrial dysfunction and reactive oxygen species accumulation in PD cells. It upregulated the mitophagic protein DJ-1, enhancing the sequestration of damaged mitochondria into autophagosomes by mitophagy. DJ-1 knockdown attenuated oleanolic acid's neuroprotection, confirming DJ-1's role in oleanolic acid's action. In vivo, pre-treatment with oleanolic acid in MPTP-induced PD mice prevented PD-like motor symptoms, reduced neuronal death in the substantia nigra, and mitigated striatal neurodegeneration. Post-treatment with oleanolic acid not only reduced these effects but also increased Bcl-2 and DJ-1 levels in the substantia nigra and striatum. In vitro, oleanolic acid activated JNK for Sp1 upregulation and nuclear translocation, which induced DJ-1 expression. Computational modeling predicted that oleanolic acid likely interacts with JNK, suggesting this binding might be necessary for JNK-Sp1-DJ-1 axis activation for mitophagy-driven neuroprotection. These results highlight oleanolic acid's potential as a therapeutic agent in PD prevention and treatment via the JNK-Sp1-DJ-1 pathway.

While research on S. spinosa has historically focused on spinosad production, little is known about the broader spectrum of secondary metabolites encoded by its genome. Like Streptomyces, S. spinosa harbors numerous biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), many of which remain cryptic under standard laboratory conditions. In this study, the spinosyn gene cluster was deleted using the heat-sensitive vector pKC1139, generating the mutant strain S. spinosaΔSPN. The fermentation products of both the wild-type S. spinosa (B1) and S. spinosaΔSPN (B2) were analyzed through HPLC coupled with high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (HRMS/MS). Data analysis was conducted using GNPS-based molecular networking and MestReNova. A total of seven metabolites were putatively annotated in the wild-type strain (B1), with spinosyns being the predominant compounds. In contrast, the mutant strain (B2) produced putatively linear and cyclic lipopeptides, including gageostatins and gageopeptins as the major metabolites. Additionally, the crude extract from S. spinosaΔSPN (B2) exhibited antibacterial activity, likely due to the production of lipopeptides, which are known for their antimicrobial properties.

RSK2 has been historically overlooked in studies regarding its involvement in physiology and signaling pathways related to human diseases, except for Coffin-Lowry syndrome, because it is located downstream of ERKs. For the last 25 years, the authors’ laboratory has made groundbreaking discoveries regarding the role of RSK2, especially by elucidating its binding partners, signaling network, and crosstalk. RSK2 is an important emerging target for developing anticancer drugs. Nevertheless, further studies on the detailed mechanism and signaling network are necessary to avoid the unexpected effects of RSK2 inhibitors. This paper describes a new paradigm of RSK2, where it works as a signaling node to modulate diverse cellular processes, including cell proliferation and transformation, cell cycle regulation, chromatin remodeling, and immune response and inflammation regulation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8287,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Pharmacal Research","volume":"48 5","pages":"365 - 383"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143966867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
