Parasubthalamic Glutamatergic Neurons Coordinate Cardiovascular Homeostasis and Locomotion in Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PSTNVglut2 neurons function as a new central baroreflex hub via projections to the NTS, modulating parasympathetic cardiac output to maintain cardiovascular homeostasis while synchronously regulating locomotion. Blood pressure fluctuations negatively correlate with locomotor performance.

A Simple In Vivo Atrial Fibrillation Model of Rat Induced by Transesophageal Atrial Burst Pacing

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005
A simple in vivo closed-chest atrial fibrillation (Af) model of rats was developed. Af was reproducibly induced by transesophageal atrial burst pacing for 30 s in each of the pentobarbital-anesthetized rats, whereas the cardiohemodynamic condition as ...

The GLP1R Agonist Semaglutide Inhibits Reactive Astrocytes and Enhances the Efficacy of Neural Stem Cell Transplantation Therapy in Parkinson's Disease Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Compared to transplantation of neural stem cells (NSCs) alone, the combined treatment of NSCs with semaglutide more effectively improves motor dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD) mice. This synergistic effect may result from semaglutide's ability to suppress microglial activation, thereby preventing the transformation of resting astrocytes into ...

Inhibition of Connexin43 hemichannels impairs spatial short-term memory without affecting spatial working memory [PDF]

, 2016
Astrocytes are active players in higher brain function as they can release gliotransmitters, which are essential for synaptic plasticity. Various mechanisms have been proposed for gliotransmission, including vesicular mechanisms as well as non-vesicular ...

Orosomucoid 1 Ameliorates Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis by Maintaining Cartilage Homeostasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The present study identified the key protein ORM1 through the proteomic analysis of synovial fluid samples from patients with temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA), and demonstrated the important role of ORM1 in maintaining cartilage homeostasis via the suppression of VIM/MAPK/MMP signalling.

Nociceptive neuropeptide increases and periorbital allodynia in a model of traumatic brain injury. [PDF]

, 2012
OBJECTIVE: This study tests the hypothesis that injury to the somatosensory cortex is associated with periorbital allodynia and increases in nociceptive neuropeptides in the brainstem in a mouse model of controlled cortical impact (CCI) injury.

PP2Acα Deficiency in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Accelerates Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection by Regulating KLF4 Phosphorylation and Ubiquitination

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs)‐specific deficiency of PP2Acα exacerbates aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAD) by promoting phenotypic switching through AKT1‐mediated phosphorylation and stabilization of Kruppel‐like factor 4 (KLF4). Reduced PP2Acα enhances KLF4 ubiquitination resistance, suppressing VSMC contractile genes and accelerating aortic ...

Gut Metabolite Indole‐3‐Propionic Acid Regulates Macrophage Autophagy Through PPT1 Inhibiting Aging‐Related Myocardial Fibrosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
IPA is an intestinal tryptophan metabolite whose effects decline with decreased heart function. Supplementing IPA can alleviate the aging‐related myocardial fibrosis through PPT1. PPT1 is a key protein localized to lysosomes, and IPA can restore macrophage autophagy function by regulating PPT1 expresssions, thereby reducing aging‐related myocardial ...
