The discussion extends to the examination of CL's implications in a clinical context, particularly concerning cardiovascular maladies, neurological degeneration, and oncological conditions. Through an integrative analysis of contemporary research findings, the aim is to elucidate the intricate dynamics of CL's involvement in cell death phenomena. While acknowledging the inherent limitations and the hurdles faced by current research endeavors, the therapeutic potential of CL as a modulator of cell death pathways is nonetheless encouraging.

Through MTT assays, PLX demonstrated significant inhibition of A549 cell viability with IC<sub>50</sub> values of 2.15 and 1.3 µM at 24 and 48 h, respectively, while having minimal effects on Beas-2B cells, with IC<sub>50</sub> values of 36.2 and 9.3 µM. The high selectivity index indicates PLX's preferential action against cancerous cells. The mechanism of cell death induced by PLX was further explored using Annexin V/PI staining and flow cytometry, revealing that PLX primarily induces necrosis in A549 cells, with an increase in necrotic cell populations and reduced efficacy at higher concentrations. Western blot analysis showed an upregulation of necroptosis markers (RIP3 and pMLKL) in A549 cells, while apoptotic markers like Caspase-3 remained unchanged. In addition, wound healing assays demonstrated that PLX significantly inhibits A549 cell migration in a dose-dependent manner. Molecular docking studies identified key amino acids involved in PLX binding interactions with target proteins. RIPK1 showed the strongest binding affinity. MD simulations revealed that the PLX-VEGFR2 complex was the most stable. As conclusion, PLX, although approved for tenosynovial giant cell tumors, shows promising potential for lung adenocarcinoma treatment.

Both cannbinoid receptors have been investigated for their role in implantation and fertilization. However, not much is explored in terms of their role in ovarian granulosa cells. As these two receptors (especially Cnr1) have affinity towards the major component of Cannabis, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), its usage raises concerns about the potential effects of THC on ovarian functions. Hence, it is important to characterize the role of endocannabinoid system in the ovarian granulosa cells. The objectives of this study were to use the mouse model to: (1) profile the expression pattern of the Cnr1 and Cnr2 and the endocannabinoid metabolizing enzymes (Faah and Mgll) in granulosa cells and (2) to determine the effect of the Cnr1 antagonist, AM251 on ovarian functions. We found that Cnr1 transcript abundance was higher (p < 0.05) at 4 h hCG than 24 h and 48 h eCG timepoints, whereas Cnr2 transcript decreased (p < 0.05) with follicular development. Conversely, Faah and Mgll transcripts were higher at 14 h hCG (p < 0.05) suggesting their upregulation after ovulation. The ovulation rate was lower in AM251 than vehicle-treated mice (p < 0.05), indicating that Cnr1 signaling may regulate ovulation. Further investigating the effect of AM251, we found that it significantly downregulated Ptgs2 and Pappa (p < 0.05).

Despite their pivotal roles, the regulatory effects of extracellular matrix properties on microglial function and the associated molecular mechanisms remain inadequately understood. Here, we elucidate how matrix stiffness modulates interleukin-10 (IL-10) secretion in human microglia (HMC3) via yes-associated protein (YAP)-mediated mechanotransduction. Using soft collagen Ⅰ-coated hydrogels, we observed a substantial reduction in IL-10 secretion, accompanied by a decrease in the expression and nuclear localization of YAP compared to cells adhered to glass substrates. With increasing hydrogel substrate stiffness, the expression and nuclear localization of YAP were enhanced, leading to an elevated secretion of IL-10. Subsequently, to further investigate the relationship between YAP and IL-10, we performed YAP depletion experiments, which revealed that nuclear exclusion of YAP suppressed IL-10 secretion. Interestingly, overexpression of YAP in microglia did not markedly affect IL-10 levels. We seeded YAP-knockdown microglia onto hydrogels of varying stiffness, and no significant differences were observed in IL-10 secretion. Our findings suggested that cytoskeletal polymerization was crucial for the regulation of IL-10 secretion mediated by YAP. Given the crucial role of IL-10 in the tumor microenvironment, we further found shYAP-microglia attenuated the pro-proliferative effect of microglia on gliomas. Besides, when YAP was silenced, actin of human microglia decreased, and their contractility was weakened. In summary, this study identifies YAP as a pivotal molecule in controlling cytokine secretion and sensing matrix stiffness in microglia. These insights offer potential therapeutic avenues for glioma treatment by targeting YAP-mediated pathways in microglial cells.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9669,"journal":{"name":"Cell Biochemistry and Function","volume":"43 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143497110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, this study investigated the immunomodulatory potential of C3G on MSCs, and subsequent effects on macrophage and lymphocyte responses. Cytotoxicity assays identified 50 µM as the highest nontoxic C3G concentration for MSCs. Flow cytometry confirmed that C3G treatment did not affect MSC viability or cell cycle distribution, even under LPS stimulation. Cytokine production by MSCs was evaluated after treatment with C3G and LPS. While no significant changes were observed in IL-6, IL-10, TGF-β, or PGE<sub>2</sub> levels, IL-1β production was significantly reduced in LPS-stimulated MSCs treated with C3G. Protein expression analysis revealed decreased NFκB phosphorylation in LPS-stimulated MSCs treated with C3G, with no changes detected in STAT-3 or PCNA expression. The immunomodulatory effects of MSC-derived conditioned media on macrophages and lymphocytes were also assessed. In LPS-stimulated macrophages, conditioned media from MSCs reduced the production of IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-12. Interestingly, conditioned media from C3G-treated MSCs specifically decreased TNF-α levels, enhanced IL-10 secretion, and further inhibited NFκB phosphorylation. In LPS-stimulated lymphocytes, conditioned media from C3G-treated MSCs suppressed IL-2 production while increasing IL-10 levels. In summary, these findings demonstrate that conditioned media from C3G-treated MSCs modulates immune cell responses more effectively than C3G alone.
