Activation of CD8+ T cell immune activity is one of the strategies to improve GBC treatment. This study is aimed to investigate the role of Ginsenoside Rg3 on CD8+ T cell activation and pathogenesis of GBC. In GBC cells, Rg3 administration led to the significant reduction of circFOXP1 and PD-L1 as measured by Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting. Mechanistically, circFOXP1 acted as the sponge of miR-4477a to regulate PD-L1 expression as demonstrated by RNA pull-down assay and dual luciferase reporter assay. Rg3 treatment enhanced the activity of CD8+ T cells by inhibiting the circFOXP1/miR-4477a/PD-L1 signaling axis. Besides, Rg3 administration induced lipid oxidation and ROS reduction as detected by Flow cytometry, resulting in ferroptosis via the inactivation of circFOXP1/miR-4477a/PD-L1 axis. Ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-1 administration could reverse the beneficial effects caused by Rg3 treatment while ferroptosis inducer Erastin treatment enhanced the effects. Moreover, Rg3 gavage alleviated tumor growth and elevated ferroptosis and apoptosis in tumor tissues, which were prevented by PD-L1 overexpression. Furthermore, Rg3 was demonstrated to activate the function of CD8+ T cells via regulating the circFOXP1-miR-4477a-PD-L1 signaling axis in vivo. Rg3 inactivated the circFOXP1-miR-4477a-PD-L1 signaling axis to activate the immune function of CD8+ T cells, thereby inducing ferroptosis and apoptosis in GBC cells. This research recognizes the mechanism of Rg3-mediated anti-cancer effect and offers evidence for the potentiality of Rg3 in clinical application for GBC therapy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8287,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Pharmacal Research","volume":"47 10-11","pages":"793 - 811"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142520792","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}

This study aimed to explore the effects of 6′-sialyllactose (6′-SL), a human milk oligosaccharide, on angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced VSMC dysfunction and AA formation both in vitro and in vivo. An AA model was established in male C57BL/6 mice challenged with Ang II via osmotic pumps and a lysyl oxidase inhibitor, β-aminopropionitrile (BAPN), in drinking water. The mice were administered with 6′-SL, FMK (a p90RSK inhibitor), or losartan (as a positive control). In vitro, VSMCs were pretreated with 6′-SL before Ang II stimulation. We found that p90RSK inhibition abolished Ang II/BAPN-induced thoracic AA and abdominal AA formation. Treatment with 100 mg/kg 6′-SL significantly attenuated Ang II/BAPN-induced aortic dilatation. 6′-SL attenuated Ang II-induced collagen deposition, calcification, and immune cell accumulation. Consistently, 6′-SL downregulated p-p90RSK, p90RSK, and p-SMAD2, and mitigated VSMC contractility loss, as indicated by α-SMA expression in vivo. Interestingly, Ang II-induced transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling pathway was suppressed by p90RSK inhibition in VSMCs. 6′-SL treatment significantly reduced TGF-β/SMAD2 targets, including dedifferentiation markers such as osteopontin and vimentin, and elastin degradation factors MMP2 and MMP9. Overexpression of p90RSK in VSMCs enhanced TGF-β and abrogated the effects of 6′-SL. Furthermore, 6′-SL co-treatment abolished high phosphate-induced calcification in vitro via p90RSK/TGF-β signaling pathway. Altogether, our findings suggest that 6′-SL could be a potential therapeutic candidate for protecting against Ang II-induced AA formation by inhibiting the p90RSK/TGF-β/SMAD2 signaling pathway.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8287,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Pharmacal Research","volume":"47 10-11","pages":"854 - 869"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142493660","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}

However, the potent GSK3β inhibitors produced are prone to side effects because they can interfere with the basic functions of GSK3β. We previously found that when the phosphorylated PPPSPxS motifs in Wnt coreceptor LRP6 can directly inhibit GSK3β, and thus, we produced a novel GSK3β inhibitory peptide (GIP), specifically activated by Akt, by combining the PPPSPxS motif of LRP6 and the Akt targeted sequence (RxRxxS) of GSK3β. GIP effectively blocked GSK3β-induced tau phosphorylation in hippocampal homogenates and, when fused with a cell-permeable sequence, attenuated Aβ-induced tau phosphorylation in human neuroblastoma cells and inhibited cell death. An in vivo study using a 3 × Tg-AD mouse model revealed that intravenous GIP significantly reduced tau phosphorylation in the hippocampus without affecting Aβ plaque levels or neuroinflammation and ameliorated memory defects.

We have previously shown that globular adiponectin (gAd), an endogenous form of adiponectin, has osteoanabolic and anti-catabolic effects in rodent models of postmenopausal osteopenia. Moreover, we reported the identification of a 13-mer peptide (ADP-1) from the collagen domain of adiponectin, which exhibited significant adiponectin-mimetic properties. Since the clinical development of gAd is constrained by its large size, here, we investigated the osteogenic property of ADP-1. ADP-1 induced osteoblast differentiation more potently than gAd. ADP-1 elicited osteoblast differentiation through two downstream pathways that involved the participation of adiponectin receptors. Firstly, it enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis and OxPhos, leading to osteoblast differentiation. Secondly, it activated the Akt-glycogen synthase kinase 3β-Wnt pathway, thereby increasing osteoblast differentiation. Additionally, ADP-1 suppressed the production of receptor–activator of nuclear kappa B ligand from osteoblasts, enabling it to act as a dual-action molecule (suppressing osteoclast function besides promoting osteoblast function). In osteopenic ovariectomized rats, ADP-1 increased bone mass and strength and improved trabecular integrity by stimulating bone formation and inhibiting bone resorption. Furthermore, by increasing ATP-producing intermediates within the tricarboxylic acid cycle in bones, ADP-1 likely fueled osteoblast function. Given its dual-action mechanism and high potency, ADP-1 offers a unique opportunity to address the unmet clinical need to reset the aberrant bone remodeling in osteoporosis to normalcy, potentially offering a disease-modifying impact.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8287,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Pharmacal Research","volume":"47 8-9","pages":"736 - 755"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141787144","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}

This study was designed to explore these molecular mechanisms. A UC mouse model was established using dextran sulfate sodium induction, followed by measurements of mouse weight, disease activity index (DAI) score, colon length, pathological changes in the colon, and FITC-dextran concentration.

This study elucidated that C-PC reinforces autophagy to block pulmonary fibrogenesis by inhibiting long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) biogenesis in vivo and in vitro. Cleavage under targets and release using nuclease (CUT &amp; RUN)-PCR, co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), and nuclear–cytoplasmic separation experiments clarified that C-PC blocked the nuclear translocation of activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) to prevent the binding between ATF3 and transcription factor Smad3, thereby hindering lncIAPF transcription. Human antigen R (HuR) truncation experiment and RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP) were then performed to identify the binding domain with lncIAPF in the 244–322 aa of HuR. lncIAPF exerted its profibrogenic function through the binding protein HuR, a negative regulator of autophagy. In summary, C-PC promoted autophagy via down-regulating the lncIAPF–HuR-mediated signal pathway to alleviate pulmonary fibrosis, showing its potential as a drug for treating pulmonary fibrosis.
