Journal: Sequential delivery for hepatic fibrosis treatment based on carvedilol loaded star-like nanozyme. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 23, 2022 Meanwhile, Au NS exhibited enhanced ROS scavenging efficiency of hydrogen peroxides and superoxide, which was helpful to restrain the activity of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptors β (PPARβ) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), thereby reducing HSCs proliferation to enhance HSCs inactivation efficacy. In conclusion, Au NS@CAR-HA can attenuate hepatic fibrosis via regulating the proliferation and activation of hepatic stellate cells, which provides a new strategy for hepatic fibrosis treatment.

Benzophenone-3 also alters expression and impairs function of receptors necessary for the proper development and function of the nervous system. The most worrying finding seems to be that benzophenone-3 contributes to an increased risk of developmental abnormalities and/or epigenetically based degeneration of neuronal cells by changing the epigenetic status of neuronal cells.

Journal: Tumor-targeted biomimetic nanoplatform precisely integrates photodynamic therapy and autophagy inhibition for collaborative treatment of oral cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 18, 2022 The metal-organic framework material PCN-224 was used as a carrier to load the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine (CQ) and it was coated onto the surface with isolated oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell membranes...After being activated with a 660 nm laser, the generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) triggered the apoptosis pathway, as assessed by mitochondrial damage, and the released CQ further aggravated the ROS lethal pathway by effectively inhibiting the protective autophagic flux. Therefore, PCN-CQ@CCM achieves the precise synergy of PDT and autophagy inhibition through the biomimetic homologous targeting method, and the highly effective tumor suppression effect expands the field of vision for the noninvasive diagnosis and treatment of oral cancer.

Role of autophagy-mediated neuropilin-1 degradation on lenvatinib efficacy in human hepatocarcinoma (Poster Area) - Mar 16, 2022 - Abstract #EASLILC2022EASL_ILC_1166; We showed that the activation of PERK signaling upon hypoxia serves as a vital mechanism to induce autophagy and identified the therapeutic value of PERK signaling agonist for IVD degeneration treatment. Autophagy-dependent NRP1 degradation seems to play a key role in lenvatinib efficacy in HCC, highlighting the potential interest of NRP1 silencing as a novel strategy to prevent therapeutic failure in advanced HCC.

- |||||||||| Journal: ESAT-6 impedes IL-18 mediated phagosome lysosome fusion via microRNA-30a upon Calcimycin treatment in mycobacteria infected macrophages. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 16, 2022
By using either IL-18 neutralizing antibody or inhibitors of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/NF-κB/phagosome-lysosome fusion in the miRNA-30a transfected background, IL-18 mediated signaling and intracellular killing of mycobacteria was reversed in the presence of ESAT-6. Overall, the results of this study conclusively prove the contrary roles of miR-30a-3p and miR-30a-5p in regulating IL-18 signaling by ESAT-6 in dTHP-1 cells upon Calcimycin treatment that affected phagosome-lysosome fusion and intracellular survival of mycobacteria.

In vivo studies showed that HLYTBE improved the impaired pyruvate tolerance, glucose tolerance, and insulin resistance; reduced the concentrations of blood glucose, glycated serum protein, lipids, and 8-isomeric prostaglandin 2α; increased the anti-oxidase activity in serum; and alleviated pathological damage in the thoracic aorta of diabetic mice induced by high sucrose-high fat diet along with streptozotocin. The results suggest that HLYTBE protects the vascular endothelium by up-regulating autophagy via the AMPK/mTOR pathway and inhibiting oxidative stress.
