Linalyl acetate (LA), a primary component of CSEO, possesses sedative, anxiolytic, and analgesic properties. However, the mechanism of its analgesic action is not clearly understood. Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channel, a non-selective cation channel, is mainly expressed in sensory neurons and serves as a sensor of various irritants. In this study, we investigated the effects of LA on TRPA1 channel using heterologous expression system and isolated sensory neurons. To detect channel activity, we employed Ca2+ imaging and the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. The analgesic action of LA was measured in a pain-related behavioral mouse model. In cells that heterologously expressed TRPA1, LA diminished [Ca2+]i and current responses to allylisothiocyanate (AITC) and carvacrol: exogenous TRPA1 agonists, and the inhibitory effects were more pronounced for the former than for the latter. Moreover, LA suppressed [Ca2+] i and current responses to PGJ2: an endogenous TRPA1 agonist. Similar inhibitory actions were observed in native TRPA1 channels expressed in mouse sensory neurons. Furthermore, LA diminished PGJ2-induced nociceptive behaviors in mice. These findings suggest that analgesic effects of LA exert through inhibition of nociceptive TRPA1, making it a potential candidate for novel analgesic development.","PeriodicalId":9138,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Research-tokyo","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141261397","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 expression of Bax, Bcl-2, Cle-caspase-3, cytochrome c (Cyt-C), NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) protein was quantified by western blotting. The superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA) activity, mtDNA copy number, and ATP production were measured via corresponding kits. Quercetin was selected from the BSKSP for its high degree value (Degree value: 22). Besides, quercetin protected CAECs against H/R-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis. The H/R-induced increased ROS level, ATP production, Cyt-C release, and decreased mtDNA copy number were removed by the quercetin. Moreover, quercetin upregulated the Nrf2/ HO-1 axis, SOD, and CAT activity, and downregulated MDA levels in H/R treated CAECs, while knockdown Nrf2 reversed the protection of quercetin against H/R-induced oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and apoptosis. Quercetin protects CAECs against H/R-induced mitochondrial apoptosis via the Nrf2/HO-1 axis, which innovatively suggests the therapeutic potential of quercetin for coronary heart disease (CHD) treatment.","PeriodicalId":9138,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Research-tokyo","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142380008","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 MAP only recovered to 75% of baseline after HSA administration, but fully recovered (100%) after HbV administration, with significant differences between the groups (P < 0.005).

In this study, we investigated Tnxb expression in livers with fibrosis caused by administration of a methionine-chorine-deficient (MCD) diet in mice. Whole transcriptome analysis showed that Tnxb was one of the genes with increased expression in livers of MCD diet-fed mice compared with that in livers of normal diet (ND)-fed mice. In microarray and subsequent microRNA (miRNA) network analyses, miR-378a-5p and miR-486-5p were identified in livers of MCD diet-fed mice as downregulated miRNAs, which have their predicted target sites in the 3' untranslated region of Tnxb mRNA and might suppress the translation of Tnxb mRNA. RT-qPCR analyses of livers of MCD diet-fed mice compared with livers of ND-fed mice verified the upregulation of Tnxb and fibrosis-triggering genes and conversely the downregulation of miR-378a-5p and miR-486-5p. Overexpression of miR-378a-5p and miR-486-5p resulted in decreased level not only of the FLAG-tagged fibrinogen-like domain of Tnxb protein (FLAG-mTNX-FG) but also of endogenous Tnxb protein in murine cultured cells.

However, EM-1-immunoreactive (-ir) neurons were infrequent in the nodose ganglion. In the brainstem, EM-1-ir varicose fibers were detected in the superficial layer of the medullary dorsal horn and the caudal part of the nucleus tractus solitarius. By trichrome immunofluorescence analysis, approximately 70% of EM-1-ir neurons were also immunoreactive for transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) in all the examined ganglia. Additionally, 56.8% of EM1-ir TG neurons and approximately 30% of EM-1-ir PG and JG neurons showed calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-immunoreactivity. By a retrograde tracing method, several TG, PG, and JG neurons innervating the facial and external ear canal skin expressed EM-1-immunoreactivity. However, EM-1-ir neurons innervating the tooth pulp, circumvallate papilla, and pharynx were relatively rare. Thus, EM-1 expression and its coexistence with TRPV1 and CGRP in the cranial sensory neurons may depend on their various peripheral targets.

We previously showed the BDNF-upregulating effect of white foxtail millet (WFM) using the human renal adenocarcinoma ACHN cell line, capable of producing and secreting BDNF. However, whether other varieties of foxtail millet can also upregulate BDNF is unclear. Herein, we examined the effects of red foxtail millet (RFM) on BDNF production in vitro and in vivo. RFM methanol extracts significantly increased BDNF levels in the culture medium of ACHN cells, and the levels were higher than those with WFMtreatment. Serum BDNF concentrations in rats fed a standard diet containing 20% RFM for 5 weeks were significantly higher than those in the control. Furthermore, the butanol fraction of the RFM methanol extract significantly increased BDNF levels in the culture medium of ACHN cells and upregulated BDNF mRNA expression in ACHN cells.
