GPR124 Alleviates Blood–Brain Barrier Disruption by Enhancing Microvascular Endothelial Function after Traumatic Brain Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Our study reveals the protective role of GPR124 in maintaining BBB integrity and promoting neurological recovery following TBI. It makes a significant contribution by uncovering a novel molecular interaction between GPR124 and FGFBP1 and linking this to activation of the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway in vascular repair mechanisms.

Malectin Alleviates Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus via Glycoprotein Quality Control Mechanisms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Malectin alleviates high glucose‐induced ER stress and damage in placental trophoblasts, a function dependent on its six critical carbohydrate‐binding residues. In a GDM mouse model, administration of TAT‐Malectin ameliorated hyperglycemia and placental ER stress and prevented fetal macrosomia.

Lipopolysaccharide released from gut activates pyroptosis of macrophages via Caspase 11‐Gasdermin D pathway in systemic lupus erythematosus

MedComm
Noncanonical pyroptosis is triggered by Caspase 4/5/11, which cleaves Gasdermin D (GSDMD), leading to cell lysis. While GSDMD has been studied previously in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the role of pyroptosis in SLE pathogenesis remains unclear ...

The selective ERβ agonist AC 186 reduces polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C)-induced inflammatory responses in BEAS-2B lung epithelial cells

Frontiers in Pharmacology
BackgroundAcute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterised by inflammation with the accompanying release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. AC186 is an oestrogen receptor agonist, which has shown anti-inflammatory activity. This study investigated

In vitro and in vivo anti-cancer activity of silymarin on oral cancer

Tumor Biology, 2018
Silymarin, a standardized extract from milk thistle fruits has been found to exhibit anti-cancer effects against various cancers. Here, we explored the anti-cancer activity of silymarin and its molecular target in human oral cancer in vitro and in vivo ...

Caspase-11 controls pyroptosis of lung epithelial cells.

, 2018
(A) TC-1 cells were infected with B. thailandensis or the bsaZ mutant in presence or absence of IFNγ. Active caspase-11 was pulled-down from cell lysates using Biotin-VAD-FMK and detected by immunoblot.

Perivascular Matrix Densification Dysregulates Angiogenesis and Activates Pro‐Inflammatory Endothelial Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Perivascular matrix densification promotes the emergence of aberrant endothelial tip cells (ATECs) that invade and persist within fibrotic microenvironments. Using in vivo lineage tracing and a human microvessel model, this study shows that fibrous matrix cues destabilize VE‐cadherin–mediated junctions to gate TGF‐β signaling, inducing a pro ...

Butein mitigates 5-FU-triggered hepatotoxicity via antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic pathways

Toxicology Reports
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent, but its hepatotoxic potential poses clinical challenges, as it induces oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis in liver tissue.

Interactions in the Active Site Loops are Important for Maintaining the Active Site Environment of (Pro)caspase-3

, 2004
Apoptosis is obligatory to development and in maintaining the vital balance between cell growth and death. Commitment to apoptosis involves a proteolytic cascade by a family of cysteine proteases named caspases.

LC3B Mediated SETDB1‐Accounted Alcoholic Steatohepatitis via Lipidation‐Dependent LAP and Lipidation‐Independent Nuclear Stabilization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SETDB1 is progressively downregulated in ALD, correlating with disease severity. SETDB1 deficiency impairs LAP by disrupting Rubicon membrane localization, leading to defective lipid droplet clearance. Concurrently, loss of SETDB1 reduces nuclear LC3B, causing R‐loop accumulation and cGAS‐STING‐driven inflammation. Lipidated LC3B mediates LAP‐dependent
