MIN6 cells were stimulated with palmitic acid (PA), and a NAFPD model was established in GPR119<sup>-/-</sup> mice fed with a high-fat diet (HFD). Terazosin, identified through screening, was utilized to assess its impact on enhancing β-cell function via the MST1-Foxo3a pathway and mitophagy. Terazosin selectively activated GPR119, leading to increased cAMP and ATP synthesis, consequently enhancing insulin secretion. Terazosin administration improved high blood glucose, obesity, and impaired pancreatic β-cell function in NAFPD mice. It inhibited the upregulation of MST1-Foxo3a expression in pancreatic tissue and enhanced damaged mitophagy clearance, restoring autophagic flux, and improving mitochondrial quantity and structure in β-cells. Nevertheless, GPR119 deficiency negated the positive impact of terazosin on pancreatic β-cell function in NAFPD mice and abolished its inhibitory effect on the MST1-Foxo3a pathway. Terazosin activates GPR119 on the surface of pancreatic β-cells, enhancing mitophagy and alleviating β-cell dysfunction in the context of NAFPD by suppressing the MST1-Foxo3a signalling pathway.

Here, we demonstrate that growth and development factor 11 (Gdf11) is essential for left-right development via TGF-β signalling. Morphological analysis showed that gdf11 morphants and mutants displayed clear heart and liver laterality disorders in a Nodal signal-dependent manner. Additionally, we found that Kupffer's vesicle formation and ciliogenesis were impaired following gdf11 deletion. We also observed that Gdf11 may form a heterodimer with Spaw, which promotes Smad2/3 phosphorylation and activates TGF-β signalling. Subsequently, Gdf11 promotes left-right laterality by stimulating Foxj1a and its target gene expression. In summary, we reveal a critical role of Gdf11 in left-right patterning, providing fundamental insights into the developmental process of left-right asymmetry.</p>","PeriodicalId":9760,"journal":{"name":"Cell Proliferation","volume":" ","pages":"e13765"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142459111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Loss of Tmem184b led to significant decreases in both a and b wave amplitudes of scotopic electroretinogram (ERG) and reduced b wave amplitudes of photopic ERG, respectively, reflecting damage to both the photoreceptors and secondary neuronal cells of the retina.

However, the impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection on the maternal-fetal interface remains poorly understood. In this study, we initially utilised immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical to investigate placental samples from pregnant women who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 during the first trimester. Our data indicate that infection in the first trimester induces an upregulation of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) levels at the maternal-fetal interface. Subsequently, single-cell RNA sequencing and metabolomics sequencing analyses reveal alterations in maternal-fetal interface. Remarkably, immune cells exhibited low expression levels of HIF possibly associated with immune activation. Furthermore, our findings demonstrate a gradual reduction in transcriptome and metabolic changes as gestation progressed beyond 12-16 weeks compared to samples obtained at 6-8 weeks gestation. Overall, our study suggests that early-stage SARS-CoV-2 infection during the first trimester leads to severe hypoxia and aberrant cell metabolism at the maternal-fetal interface which gradually resolves as pregnancy progresses.
