mPGES-1-Derived PGE2 Contributes to Indoxyl Sulfate-Induced Mesangial Cell Proliferation

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2017
Background/Aims: We previously reported that indoxyl sulfate (IS) could cause mesangial cell (MC) proliferation via a cyclooxygenase (COX)-2-dependent mechanism.

Activation of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor by nicotine selectively up-regulates cyclooxygenase-2 and prostaglandin E₂ in rat microglial cultures

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2005
Background Nicotinic acetylcholine (Ach) receptors are ligand-gated pentameric ion channels whose main function is to transmit signals for the neurotransmitter Ach in peripheral and central nervous system.

Arzanol, a prenylated heterodimeric phloroglucinyl pyrone, inhibits eicosanoid biosynthesis and exhibits anti-inflammatory efficacy in vivo. [PDF]

, 2011
Based on its capacity to inhibit in vitro HIV-1 replication in T cells and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines in monocytes, the prenylated heterodimeric phloroglucinyl α-pyrone arzanol was identified as the major anti-inflammatory and anti-viral ...

Tailored Xenogeneic‐Free Polymer Surface Promotes Dynamic Migration of Intestinal Stem Cells

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a PoLymer‐coated Ultra‐stable Surface (PLUS), a nitrogen plasma‐treated poly(ethyleneglycoldimethacrylate), as a stable xenogeneic‐free platform for intestinal stem cell culture. PLUS enhances cell attachment, supports actin‐driven migration, and retains functionality after 3 years of storage. Promoting cytoskeletal reorganization,

Lactylated SPTAN1 Accelerates Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression by Promoting NOTCH1/HES1 Activation and Immunosuppression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies SPTAN1‐kla as a novel oncogenic driver in HBV‐driven HCC, linking metabolic, epigenetic, and immune mechanisms. SPTAN1‐kla promotes HCC progression via NOTCH1/HES1 activation and immunosuppression. Findings highlight that targeting SPTAN1‐kla provides a framework for HCC treatment to improve clinical outcomes in HBV infected ...

Differential sensitivity of basal and acetylcholine-induced activity of nitric oxide to blockade by asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) in the rat aorta [PDF]

, 2010
<b>Background and purpose</b>: Previous work has shown that NG-monomethyl-l-arginine (l-NMMA) paradoxically inhibits basal, but not ACh-stimulated activity of nitric oxide in rat aorta.

Extracellular Vesicle‐Delivered tRF‐His‐GTG‐1 Reprograms Neutrophil Lipophagy and Triggers Inflammation in COVID‐19

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies platelet‐derived extracellular vesicles as key immunometabolic regulators in COVID‐19. The delivery of tRF‐His‐GTG‐1 to neutrophils activates TLR8mTOR signaling, disrupts lipophagy, and amplifies NET‐mediated inflammation. Importantly, targeting this axis restores neutrophil homeostasis, offering a potential therapeutic strategy ...
