Additionally, cellular antioxidant biomarkers were decreased and the expression levels of cardiac MDA, TLR-4, NF-κB, IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α were upregulated. CoQ10 and L-CoQ10 prevented myocardial injury and decreased the levels of both MDA and pro-inflammatory cytokines.

In the present work, we investigated the involvement of SPNS2 in endothelial mesenchymal transition. Knocking down SPNS2 in endothelial cells resulted in significant phenotypic changes, marked by a decrease in endothelial markers (CD31, VE-cadherin) and an increase in mesenchymal markers (Vimentin, α-SMA), confirming the occurrence of EndMT. Notably, SPNS2 knockdown leads to alterations in sphingolipid metabolism, most prominently marked by a significant increase in sphingomyelin (SM) levels. Similar cellular alterations were observed with the exogenous addition of SM, leading to the transition of endothelial cells from a cobblestone-like morphology to a dispersed, spindle-shaped form. In contrast, the exogenous addition of sphingomyelinase, which degrades SM, was able to reverse the endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition induced by SPNS2 knockdown.

The objective of this study was to investigate the protein profiles of various bacterial species present in water through the application of protein fingerprinting (PF) and real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) techniques, as well as to evaluate their antimicrobial resistance. A total of two hundred water samples were collected from five distinct locations within the Qassim region of Saudi Arabia. Bacterial isolates were identified using a protein fingerprinting analytical technique (PFAT), which was subsequently confirmed by real-time PCR. The Kirby-Bauer method was employed to assess antibiotic resistance among the bacterial isolates. Out of the 200 water samples analyzed, PFAT successfully identified 123 bacterial isolates, with the most frequently isolated species being 48 Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), 17 Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and 16 Escherichia coli (E. coli). All waterborne bacterial isolates were accurately identified 100% of the time, achieving a score of 2.00 or higher. The results from real-time PCR indicated that 87.5% of P. aeruginosa isolates were positive for the oprI gene, all S. aureus isolates were positive for the nuc gene, and 93.75% of E. coli isolates were positive for the fliC gene. P. aeruginosa isolates demonstrated a high level of resistance to aztreonam (64.6%), while S. aureus exhibited significant resistance to cefoxitin and cefepime (88.24%), followed by aztreonam (82.35%) and amoxicillin-clavulanate (70.6%). E. coli isolates showed complete resistance to ampicillin (100%), with high resistance also observed against amoxicillin-clavulanate and cefoxitin (87.5%), and cefepime (81.25%).
