Prolonged exposure to FFAs induces vascular endothelial injury, including inflammatory responses and oxidative stress, which are central events in AS. Chromofungin (CHR), a peptide derived from chromogranin A (CGA), has been implicated in various biological functions. However, its physiological roles in endothelial biology and its involvement in the pathological development of AS have not been previously reported. In the present study, we investigated the underlying mechanisms through which CHR exerts its beneficial effects on FFA-challenged human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs). We found that treatment with CHR ameliorated the FFA-induced reduction in cell viability and increase in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release. Additionally, CHR mitigated oxidative stress by reducing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and increasing superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. Furthermore, exposure to FFAs increased NADPH oxidase (NOX) 4 expression at both the mRNA and protein levels, which were attenuated by CHR in a dose-dependent manner. Notably, CHR reduced the levels of nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat-containing (NLR) family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), and cleaved caspase-1 (p10), key components of the NLRP3 inflammasome complex, as well as interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18) expression. Mechanistically, it was demonstrated that FFAs reduced the phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), which were rescued by CHR in a dose-dependent manner. Conversely, inhibition of AMPK with its specific inhibitor compound C abolished the protective effects of CHR against FFA-induced activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in HAECs.

It possesses a unique therapeutic and pharmacological reputation in suppressing cancer/tumor progression, especially breast cancer, due to its embedded rich bioactive chemical constituents, mainly triterpenoids (ganoderic acids). The most prevalent malignant tumor in women with a high mortality and morbidity rate is breast cancer. Ganoderic acids A, D, DM, F, and H are evidenced in previous research to have breast cancer-preventive properties by exhibiting autophagic and apoptosis, anti-proliferative, and anti-angiogenesis effects. However, the anti-breast cancer mechanism remains unclear. The putative targets of the ganoderic acids were further determined using bioinformatics techniques and molecular docking calculation. Finally, the key targets were verified in vitro. A total of 53 potential target proteins associated with 202 pathways were predicted to be related to breast cancer. The potential targets were narrowed down to six key targets (AKT1, PIK3CA, epidermal growth factor receptor [EGFR], STAT1, ESR1, and CTNNB1), using different algorithms of the CytoHubba plugin, which were further validated using molecular docking analysis. The ganoderic acid DM (GADM) and the targets (PIK3CA and EGFR) with the strongest interactions were validated via MDA-MB-231 and MCF7 cells. The expression level of PIK3CA in both MDA-MB-231 and MCF7 cells was dose-dependently suppressed by GADM, whereas EGFR expression was unexpectedly increased, which warrants further investigation.

Annexin A1 (AnxA1), a vital member of the annexin superfamily, is known for its diverse physiological functions, particularly its anti-inflammatory and anti-senescence properties. We hypothesized that AnxA1 has a protective effect against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory responses and cellular damage in periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs). In this study, we demonstrate that LPS stimulation significantly reduced telomerase activity in PDLCs, a decline that was dose-dependently reversed by AnxA1. Importantly, AnxA1 protected the cells from LPS-induced cellular senescence and the downregulation of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) expression. In line with this, AnxA1 suppressed the LPS-induced expression of p21 and p16 at both the mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, AnxA1 demonstrated potent anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the secretion of interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). It also mitigated LPS-induced oxidative stress by reducing the levels of phosphorylated Foxo3a (Ser253) and restored sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) expression. Notably, SIRT1 silencing abolished AnxA1's protective effects on Foxo3a phosphorylation and cellular senescence, suggesting that SIRT1 mediates AnxA1's actions. In conclusion, AnxA1 protected PDLCs against LPS-triggered inflammation and cell senescence by activating SIRT1 signal pathway.

Enhancing pyroptosis can prevent the proliferation and epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) of tumor cells. This study aims to reveal the candidates that modulate pyroptosis in CC. Accordingly, the common microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) that were sponged by RBPMS antisense RNA 1 (RBPMS-AS1) and could target Phospholipase C–Like 1 (PLCL1) were intersected. The expression of PBPMS-AS1/miR-19a-3p (candidate miRNA)/PLCL1 was predicted in cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC), by which the expression location of RBPMS-AS1 and the binding between RBPMS-AS1/PLCL1 and miR-19a-3p were analyzed. The targeting relationship between RBPMS-AS1/PLCL1 and miR-19a-3p was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. After the transfection, cell counting kit-8 assay, colony formation assay, quantitative reverse transcription PCR, and Western blot were implemented for cell viability and proliferation analysis as well as gene and protein expression quantification analysis. Based on the results, RBPMS-AS1 and PLCL1 were lowly expressed, yet miR-19a-3p was highly expressed in CESC. RBPMS-AS1 overexpression diminished the proliferation and expressions of N-cadherin, vimentin, and miR-19a-3p, yet enhanced those of E-cadherin, PLCL1, and pyroptosis-relevant proteins (inteleukin-1β, caspase-1, and gasdermin D N-terminal). However, the above RBPMS-AS1 overexpression–induced effects were counteracted in the presence of miR-19a-3p. There also existed a targeting relationship and negative interplay between PLCL1 and miR-19a-3p.

In the study, silica piperine nanoparticles (SPN) were fabricated based on a modified Stöber method. Characterization techniques including SEM, TEM, AFM, FTIR, XRD, and DSC showed significant differences of incorporated piperine in the production process to plain MSN properties. Piperine was observed to inhibit nanoparticles’ growth so that they became smaller, heterogeneous, with a changed morphology and surface chemistry. As a strong confirmation of covalent incorporation, spectroscopic data showed the presence of electrons in the piperine's functional group that were exchanged into some silanol groups and removed excessive surface energy. The antioxidant activity of SPNs revealed that the silica matrix, and moreover bioactive piperine combination resulted to significant increase in enhanced antioxidant potential. In general, the results of this study offer meaningful lessons about the utilization and manipulation of piperine to suit MSN in a bid to optimize them for biomedical uses such as drug delivery applications where its antioxidant characteristics may bring therapeutic benefits.

Histological analysis was conducted via hematoxylin and eosin staining. Cytokine release was determined via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Additionally, mRNA levels were determined via reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Protein expression was assessed via Western blotting. Gasdermin D (GSDMD) and Ki-67 expression levels were determined via immunohistochemistry. Caspase 1 and GSDMD expression levels were determined via immunofluorescence assay. Furthermore, macrophage function and keratinocyte pyroptosis were also analyzed via flow cytometry. Cell proliferation was determined using 5-ethynyl-2ʹdeoxyuridine assay. SAL alleviated IMQ-induced psoriasis. IMQ-mediated GSDMD-driven pyroptosis and keratinocyte hyperproliferation promoted M1 macrophage polarization. However, SAL treatment suppressed GSDMD expression, thereby inhibiting keratinocyte proliferation and pyroptosis and promoting M2 macrophage polarization. GSDMD deficiency further promoted the effects of SAL and suppressed psoriasis progression. Overall, our findings suggest that SAL exerts protective effects against psoriasis.
