Age-related changes that contribute to sarcopenia include cellular senescence, decreased muscle stem cell number and regenerative capacity, impaired autophagy, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Metformin, an anti-diabetic agent, activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and affects various cellular processes in addition to reducing hepatic gluconeogenesis, lowering blood glucose levels, and improving insulin resistance. However, its effect on skeletal muscle cells remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of metformin on age-related muscle loss using a late passage C2C12 cell model. The results demonstrated that metformin alleviated hallmarks of cellular senescence, including SA-β-gal activity and p21 overexpression. Moreover, treatment with pharmacological concentrations of metformin restored the reduced differentiation capacity in late passage cells, evident through increased myotube formation ability and enhanced expression of myogenic differentiation markers such as MyoD, MyoG, and MHC. These effects of metformin were attributed to enhanced autophagic activity, normalization of mitochondrial membrane potential, and improved mitochondrial respiratory capacity. These results suggest that pharmacological concentrations of metformin alleviate the hallmarks of cellular senescence, restore differentiation capacity, and improve autophagic flux and mitochondrial function.

While chemotherapy is a common treatment, its drawbacks, including poor targeting of cancer cells and nonspecific cytotoxicity, highlight the urgent need for innovative and effective therapeutic strategies. Herein, we developed a novel drug by coupling the receptor binding domain of botulinum neurotoxin type A (Hc) fused with monomeric streptavidin (mSA) to biotin coated doxorubicin (Dox)-loaded liposome, via interaction between mSA and biotin. The resultant Hc-coated liposome (Hc-Lipo@Dox) actively targeted the recycling synaptic vesicle 2 protein (SV2) abundantly expressed on the surface of neuroblastoma cells. Our results revealed that Hc-Lipo@Dox more effectively entered the neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, inducing apoptosis compared to non-targeted liposome and free Dox. Moreover, Hc-Lipo@Dox rapidly enriched Dox in the subcutaneously implanted neuroblastoma tumor in nude mice, resulting potent anti-neuroblastoma effect compared to non-targeted liposomes or free Dox. Importantly, Hc-Lipo@Dox significantly improved the survival rate of treated mice, while also exhibiting a favorable safety profile with no discernible impact on mobility or observable side effects. These findings highlight the potential of SV2-targeted Dox liposome as a promising and well-tolerated chemotherapy approach for neuroblastoma treatment.

Despite extensive research, the pathogenesis of PF remains incompletely understood, and effective therapeutic options are limited. Emerging evidence suggests a potential link between gut microbiota dysbiosis and the development of PF, highlighting the gut-lung axis as a promising therapeutic target. Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila), a mucin-degrading bacterium residing in the gut mucosal layer, has garnered considerable interest due to its immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. This study investigates the therapeutic potential of live and pasteurized A. muciniphila, as well as its extracellular vesicles (EVs), in mitigating inflammation and fibrosis in a murine model of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced PF exacerbated by a high-fat diet (HFD). Male C57BL/6 mice were divided into groups receiving either a normal diet or an HFD, with or without CCl4 administration. The mice were then treated with live or pasteurized A. muciniphila, or its EVs. Lung tissue was analyzed for the expression of inflammatory markers and fibrosis markers using real-time PCR and ELISA. Administration of live and pasteurized A. muciniphila, as well as its EVs, significantly downregulated the expression of inflammatory and fibrosis markers in the lung tissue of CCl4-induced PF mice. Furthermore, these treatments ameliorated the increased production of IL-6 and reduced IL-10 levels observed in the HFD and CCl4-treated groups. These findings suggest that A. muciniphila and its derivatives exert protective effects against pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis, potentially through modulation of the gut-lung axis.

Isoliquiritigenin (ISL), a flavonoid compound derived from licorice roots known as chalcone, has demonstrated multifaceted pharmacological potential.

Through in-depth exploration using network pharmacology, we successfully predicted potential therapeutic targets of ISL for ischemic diseases. The revealed mechanisms primarily focused on the critical pathway of efferocytosis. Subsequent in vivo experiments demonstrated that ISL significantly enhanced the efferocytosis of dendritic cells (DC), improving the functional behaviors of endothelial cells. Further research indicated that ISL promoted DC efferocytosis by regulating SLC7A11-mediated glycolysis. Notably, the overexpression of SLC7A11 diminished the positive effects of ISL, suggesting a potential antagonistic role of SLC7A11 in the regulatory process. In the wounds of diabetic mice, we observed that ISL accelerated DC efferocytosis and angiogenesis, resulting in faster wound closure and better tissue repair.
