The addition of 1% Dex to C10/Arg resulted in a translucent supramolecular hydrogel with a lamellar liquid crystal structure, and the addition of a low-molecular-weight model drug to this hydrogel did not significantly affect its physicochemical properties. However, the addition of middle-molecular-weight Dex (6000 Da) changed the rheological properties of the gel, strengthening its internal structure and increasing its elasticity. In vitro skin permeation experiments of model drugs released from C10/Arg gels were performed using Yucatan micropig skin. C10/Arg increased the cumulative amount of FD4 permeation by 40 times after 24 h compared to the application of aqueous FD4 solution. No skin permeation from the aqueous FD40 solution was observed, but permeation was observed following treatment of the skin sample with C10/Arg. The enhanced skin permeation of model drugs by hydrogels was largely due to the contribution of C10 in the hydrogels.","PeriodicalId":8955,"journal":{"name":"Biological & pharmaceutical bulletin","volume":"48 5","pages":"733-743"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144198242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in the process of mucosal absorption of drugs, the mucus layer, a smart biological sieve to particles and molecules, can be an obstacle to effective drug delivery. Recently, functional nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted considerable interest in the field of biopharmaceutical science owing to their delivery potential and effectiveness. Among various pharmaceutical technologies, mucopenetrating NPs (MPP) and mucoadhesive NPs (MAP) are viable dosage options for controlling pharmacokinetic behavior by modifying drug absorption from the mucosal site. MPP and MAP can rapidly deliver encapsulated drugs to the absorption site by passing through the mucus layer and/or retaining NPs near the absorption membrane, possibly resulting in better drug delivery than that of conventional approaches. Modifying the surface properties of NPs is critical for determining their potential diffusiveness within the mucus layer owing to various types of interactions between the mucosal components and the surface of NPs. Additionally, the physiological characteristics of the mucus layer (thickness, viscosity, and turnover time) differ depending on the mucosal site. Thus, a deeper understanding of the design of NPs and the functional properties of the administration site is essential for developing mucosal drug delivery systems (mDDS) to maximize the potential of target drugs. This review summarizes the basic information and functions of the mucosal layer, highlights the recent progress in designing functional NPs for mDDS, and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of mucosal administration at major mucosal sites.","PeriodicalId":8955,"journal":{"name":"Biological & pharmaceutical bulletin","volume":"48 6","pages":"759-768"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144198243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The time courses of the changes in plasma glucose and insulin levels were also examined. Although the plasma concentration profile of NTG in API rats was marginally distinguishable from that in control rats, the hypoglycemic effect of NTG was more persistent in API rats than in control rats. In addition, NTG elevated the plasma level of insulin more intensely in API rats than in control rats. Then, the islets of Langerhans were procured by perfusing the pancreas with collagenase solution in control and API rats, and the pancreatic mRNA expression of preproinsulin (Ins1), as well as that of sulfonylurea receptor ABCC8 (Abcc8), were examined. As a result, the expression of preproinsulin and ABCC8 mRNA increased in API rats. These findings suggest that the hypoglycemic effect of NTG was potentiated in API rats due to increased insulin secretion in the pancreas, which was caused by enhanced preproinsulin synthesis and expression of the sulfonylurea receptor.","PeriodicalId":8955,"journal":{"name":"Biological & pharmaceutical bulletin","volume":"48 1","pages":"51-59"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143063555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exogenous dietary LPLs initially affect epithelial cells and, finally, the entire colon and may be linked to the onset and prevention of colonic diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease. However, the effects of exogenous LPLs on epithelial cells remain poorly understood. In this study, we used HT-29, a human colon cancer-derived epithelial cell, to evaluate the effects of LPLs on epithelial cells under normal and inflammatory states. In the absence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), several LPLs decreased interleukin-8 (IL-8) secretion from HT-29 cells in the following order of potency based on the reduction ratio at the highest concentration: lysophosphatidylglycerol > lysophosphatidylcholine > lysophosphatidyletanolamine > lysophosphatidylserine. In the presence of LPS, only lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) decreased the IL-8 secretion induced by LPS. Focusing on the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that LPI acts on, PSN375963 and AS1269574, GPR119 agonists, decreased the IL-8 secretion induced by LPS. It is speculated that IL-8 secretion was reduced by LPI via GPR119 signaling under non-inflammatory conditions. Although the detailed mechanism remains to be elucidated, the findings that LPLs, except for LPI, have inhibitory effects and that LPI has an inhibitory/anti-inflammatory effect on IL-8 secretion will help to elucidate the mechanism on the onset of colonic diseases and the planning of treatment methods in the future.","PeriodicalId":8955,"journal":{"name":"Biological & pharmaceutical bulletin","volume":"48 2","pages":"119-125"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143432323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

AMR pathogens are found in hospitals and communities. Haemophilus influenzae is a common pathogen associated with community-acquired infections. H. influenzae infections are usually treated with β-lactams, macrolides, and quinolones. However, the drug-resistant strains have emerged. The resistance mechanisms of H. influenzae are complex but are roughly characterized by the acquisition of a mutation in antimicrobial-targeting genes and exogenous resistant genes. Generally, the former cannot be transferred horizontally to a susceptible strain. However, several studies have demonstrated that, in the case of H. influenzae, both the former and the latter can be transferred horizontally. In this review, we provide an overview of the bacterial features and antimicrobial resistance of H. influenzae. We also summarize the unique and ingenious antimicrobial resistance mechanisms used by this pathogen based on the findings of recent studies.

However, how the dual functions of TMEM16F are controlled remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the properties of amino acid residues in human TMEM16F involved in the linkage between phospholipid and ion transports and the regulation of their transports using flow cytometry and whole-cell patch-clamp recordings. We demonstrated that ion and phospholipid transports induced by elevation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration were tightly coupled in human embryonic kidney HEK293T cells overexpressing wild-type TMEM16F or its mutants. Mutations of amino acid residues in the hydrophilic subunit cavity of TMEM16F indicated that both substrates were transported through its subunit cavity.

In the present study, we performed experiments to identify compounds that directly increase CBF and elucidated their mechanisms of action. We screened ginsenosides and their derivatives owned by Kyoto Pharmaceutical University and found that ginsenoside Rd was the most effective in increasing CBF and intracellular cAMP concentration ([cAMP]i). Furthermore, we identified the estrogen receptor β (ERβ) as a new target of ginsenoside Rd-mediated increases in [cAMP]i and CBF. We also found that ginsenoside Rd increased [Ca2+]i and potentiated the positive effect of ATP on CBF by acting as a positive allosteric modulator (PAM) for the P2X7 receptor in murine airway ciliated cells.

To explore the effects of QUE on improving the expression of conditioned place preference (CPP) and myelination in the infralimbic cortex (IL) of the medial prefrontal cortex in alcohol-exposed GDM offspring mice, we evaluated CPP expression in 5-week-old alcohol-exposed GDM offspring and treated them with QUE and the extracellular-regulated protein kinase (ERK) inhibitor U0126. Immunohistochemical staining compared the numbers of mature oligodendrocytes, OPCs, and myelin expression levels. Immunofluorescence staining was employed to examine OPC differentiation and the activation of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway. In GDM offspring, CPP expression increased considerably following alcohol exposure, whereas early treatment with QUE or U0126 significantly decreased CPP expression. Meanwhile, alcohol exposure resulted in substantial activation of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway within OPCs in the IL region, as well as a substantial reduction in OPC differentiation, mature oligodendrocyte count, and myelin expression. QUE or U0126 inhibited the activation of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway within OPCs in the IL region of alcohol-exposed GDM offspring and markedly restored OPC differentiation, mature oligodendrocyte numbers, and myelin expression. Collectively, QUE enhanced the differentiation of OPCs in the IL region of GDM offspring after alcohol exposure by regulating the overactivation of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway, thus partially reversing myelination loss and ultimately improving CPP expression.","PeriodicalId":8955,"journal":{"name":"Biological & pharmaceutical bulletin","volume":"48 3","pages":"323-335"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143750933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
