Identifying Gene Predictors of Chemicals Linked With Breast Cancer: A Machine Learning Analysis of MCF7 Cellular Transcriptomic Screening Data

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women and has been linked to exposure to environmental chemicals. However, many chemicals have not been evaluated for relationships with this outcome. In this study, we analyzed RNA sequencing data from human breast cancer‐derived MCF7 cells exposed to hundreds of individual chemicals.

Subclinical lipopolysaccharide from Salmonella Enteritidis induces neuropeptide dysregulation in the spinal cord and the dorsal root ganglia

BMC Neuroscience, 2019
Background Despite increasing evidence that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) affects the biological active substances of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) we have limited knowledge of the influence of a single low dose of LPS, which does not result in any clinical ...

Gut‐microbiota‐brain Axis and post‐traumatic epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract There has been growing evidence that perturbations in gut‐microbiota‐brain axis (GMBA) are involved in mechanisms of chronic sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This review discusses the connection between GMBA and post‐traumatic epilepsy (PTE), the latter being a common outcome of TBI.

Neuropeptides Exert Neuroprotective Effects in Alzheimer's Disease

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2019
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive deficits and neuronal loss. Deposition of beta-amyloid peptide (Aβ) causes neurotoxicity through the formation of plaques in brains of Alzheimer's disease ...

Prenatal betamethasone–postnatal N‐methyl‐D‐aspartic acid model of spasms: Update on mechanisms and treatments

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Infantile epilepsy spasms syndrome (IESS), formerly known as infantile spasms or West Syndrome, is a severe epilepsy syndrome affecting about 3 in 10,000 newborns in the United States. Characterized by clusters of epileptic spasms, interictal hypsarrhythmia, and developmental delays, IESS has diverse causes, including structural‐metabolic ...

Sojae Semen Praeparatum Fermented by Rhizopus chinensis and Bacillus sp. DU‐106 Alleviates Loperamide‐Induced Constipation in Rats via Regulating Calcium Signaling Pathways and the Gut Microbiota

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
To investigate the effects of different processing methods of Sojae Semen Praeparartum (SSP) on constipation, we prepared SSP through fermentation using Rhizopus chinensis and Bacillus sp. DU‐106 as starter cultures, and examined its laxative effects and mechanisms in loperamide‐induced constipated Sprague‐Dawley (SD) rats.

Medicine‐Food Plant Polysaccharides Modulate Diabetes and Diabetic Complications Through Maintaining Gut Function: A Review

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Polysaccharides derived from medicine‐food plants restore intestinal barrier integrity and microbiota balance while modulating short‐chain fatty acid levels. These modifications significantly alleviate diabetes and its complications, including nephropathy, retinopathy, cardiovascular disease, and neuropathy.
