Background HucMSCs had shown promising efficacy in treating childhood diseases, but oxidative stress induced by the poor microenvironment at the site of damage resulted in low cell survival after transplantation, thus preventing the cells from maximizing therapeutic efficacy. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of keap1 in oxidative stress injury of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSCs), and to provide theoretical support for improving the efficacy of stem cell therapy. Methods The hucMSCs were treated with hypoxic low-sugar-free serum (GSDH) to mimic the damaged site microenvironment after implantation. Adenoviral overexpression of keap1 gene of hucMSCs was performed in vitro, and cell proliferation ability was detected by CCK8 assay, crystal violet staining assay, and cell cycle assay. Cellular redox level was assessed by Amplex Red, MDA, and GSH/GSSG kit. Mitochondrial morphology was evaluated by mitotracker Red staining. ATP production was estimated by ATP detection kit. The mRNA and protein expression levels were tested by western blotting and RT-qPCR. Results GSDH treatment substantially upregulated keap1 expression. Subsequently, we found that overexpression of keap1 notably inhibited cell proliferation and caused cells to stagnate in G1 phase. At the same time, overexpression of keap1 induced the production of large amounts of H 2 O 2 and the accumulation of MDA, but suppressed the GSH/GSSG ratio and the expression of antioxidant proteins NQO1 and SOD1, which caused oxidative stress damage. Overexpression of keap1 induced cells to produce a large number of dysfunctional mitochondria resulting in reduced ATP production. Moreover, Overexpression of keap1 significantly decreased the IKKβ protein level, while upregulating IkB mRNA levels and downregulating P50 mRNA levels. Conclusions Overexpression of keap1 may induce oxidative stress injury in hucMSCs by down-regulating IKKβ expression and inhibiting NF-κB pathway activation. This implies the importance of keap1 in hucMSCs and it may be a potential gene for genetic modification of hucMSCs.

Muscone inhibits angiotensin II–induced cardiac hypertrophy through the STAT3, MAPK and TGF-β/SMAD signaling pathways - Yi-jiang Liu; Jia-jia Xu; Cui Yang; Yan-lin Li; Min-wei Chen; Shi-xiao Liu; Xiang-hui Zheng; Ping Luo; Rui Li; Di Xiao; Zhong-gui Shan (Molecular Biology Reports, 2024)
Background Muscone is a chemical monomer derived from musk. Although many studies have confirmed the cardioprotective effects of muscone, the effects of muscone on cardiac hypertrophy and its potential mechanisms are unclear.The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of muscone on angiotensin (Ang) II-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Methods and results In the present study, we found for the first time that muscone exerted inhibitory effects on Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophy and cardiac injury in mice. Cardiac function was analyzed by echocardiography measurement, and the degree of cardiac fibrosis was determined by the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), Masson trichrome staining and western blot assay. Secondly, qRT-PCR experiment showed that muscone attenuated cardiac injury by reducing the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and promoting the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, western blot analysis found that muscone exerted cardio-protective effects by inhibiting phosphorylation of key proteins in the STAT3, MAPK and TGF-β/SMAD pathways. In addition, CCK-8 and determination of serum biochemical indexes showed that no significant toxicity or side effects of muscone on normal cells and organs. Conclusions Muscone could attenuate Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophy, in part, by inhibiting the STAT3, MAPK, and TGF-β/SMAD signaling pathways.

TNF-α and RPLP0 drive the apoptosis of endothelial cells and increase susceptibility to high-altitude pulmonary edema - Yi-Ling Ge; Pei-Jie Li; Ying-Rui Bu; Bin Zhang; Jin Xu; Si-Yuan He; Qing-Lin Cao; Yun-Gang Bai; Jin Ma; Lin Zhang; Jie Zhou; Man-Jiang Xie (Apoptosis, 2024)
High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a fatal threat for sojourners who ascend rapidly without sufficient acclimatization. Acclimatized sojourners and adapted natives are both insensitive to HAPE but have different physiological traits and molecular bases. In this study, based on GSE52209, the gene expression profiles of HAPE patients were compared with those of acclimatized sojourners and adapted natives, with the common and divergent differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and their hub genes identified, respectively. Bioinformatic methodologies for functional enrichment analysis, immune infiltration, diagnostic model construction, competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) analysis and drug prediction were performed to detect potential biological functions and molecular mechanisms. Next, an array of in vivo experiments in a HAPE rat model and in vitro experiments in HUVECs were conducted to verify the results of the bioinformatic analysis. The enriched pathways of DEGs and immune landscapes for HAPE were significantly different between sojourners and natives, and the common DEGs were enriched mainly in the pathways of development and immunity. Nomograms revealed that the upregulation of TNF-α and downregulation of RPLP0 exhibited high diagnostic efficiency for HAPE in both sojourners and natives, which was further validated in the HAPE rat model. The addition of TNF-α and RPLP0 knockdown activated apoptosis signaling in endothelial cells (ECs) and enhanced endothelial permeability. In conclusion, TNF-α and RPLP0 are shared biomarkers and molecular bases for HAPE susceptibility during the acclimatization/adaptation/maladaptation processes in sojourners and natives, inspiring new ideas for predicting and treating HAPE.

The present study aims to explore the therapeutic effect of Stefin B on gouty arthritis (GA) and the polarization of macrophages in mice. Stefin B-overexpressed or knockdown M0 macrophages were constructed. The GA model was established in mice by injecting 25 mg/mL MSU, followed by a single injecting of Stefin B-overexpressing adenovirus vector (GA model + Stefin B OE) or an empty vector (GA model + Stefin B OE NC). Stefin B was found lowly expressed in M1 macrophages. CD206 was markedly upregulated and IL-10 release was signally increased in Stefin B-overexpressed macrophages. In gouty arthritis mice, marked redness and swelling were observed in the ankle joint. Dramatical infiltration of inflammatory cells was observed in the GA model and GA model + Stefin B OE NC groups, which was suppressed in the Stefin B OE group. Increased proportion of F4/80 + CD86 + cells observed in GA mice was markedly repressed by Stefin B overexpression, accompanied by the declined level of Caspase-1 and IL-17. Collectively, Stefin B alleviated the GA in mice by inducing the M2 polarization of macrophages.

Ethylene response factors have been shown to be involved in the effects of plant developmental processes and to regulate stress tolerance. The aim of this study was to recognize the regulatory mechanisms of ethylene response factors on tobacco plant height. In this study, a gene-edited mutant (ERF10-KO) and wild type (WT) were utilized as experimental materials. Transcriptome and metabolome analyses were used to investigate the regulatory mechanism of NtERF10 gene editing on plant height in tobacco. Here, through the analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 2051 genes were upregulated and 1965 genes were downregulated. We characterized the different ERF10-KO and WT plant heights and identified key genes for photosynthesis, the plant hormone signal transduction pathway and the terpene biosynthesis pathway. NtERF10 was found to affect the growth and development of tobacco by regulating the expression levels of the PSAA , PSBA , GLY17 and GGP3 genes. Amino acid metabolism was analyzed by combining analyses of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs). In addition, we found that members of the bHLH, NAC, MYB, and WRKY transcription factor families have vital roles in regulating plant height. This study not only provides important insights into the positive regulation of the ethylene response factor NtERF10 on plant height during plant growth and development but also provides new research ideas for tobacco molecular breeding.

Phylogenetic origin of an insect fauna at the boundary of the Palaearctic and Oriental realms: Evidence from ‘site‐based’ mitogenomics - Rui‐E Nie; Lu‐Lu Li; Anderson Feijó; Mei‐Xia Yang; Ming Bai; Thomas J. Creedy; Xu Jin; Jia‐Sheng Hao; Yong‐Ying Ruan; Hua‐Xi Liu; Beulah H. Garner; Ladislav Bocak; et al. (Journal of Biogeography, 2024)
Aim Knowledge of taxonomy and species distributions in highly diverse lineages of invertebrates remains too incomplete for the study of biogeographical patterns at the global scale. This limits the understanding of processes leading to the formation and maintenance of boundaries between major biogeographical realms. Site‐based metagenomic approaches may provide an alternative source of data for inference of historical processes of in situ speciation and interchange among biogeographical regions. We applied the methodology to explore the historical biogeography of the Qinling Mountains at the boundary of the Oriental and Palaearctic regions. Location The focal area in the Qinling Mountains; sites in Borneo, Panama, and Spain, representing the Oriental, Neotropical and Palaearctic faunas. Time Period Contemporary. Major Taxa Studied Chrysomelidae, a group of ~40,000 species with worldwide distribution. Methods Mass‐trapped insects were subjected to deep Illumina DNA sequencing and mitochondrial genome assembly, followed by phylogenetic analysis and historical biogeographical inference on a dated tree. The methodology produced 622 mitogenomes (304 newly sequenced) each representing a morphologically distinct species. Results Ancestral area reconstruction revealed that the Qinling fauna is a composite of distinct clades that, respectively, have Oriental or Palaearctic ancient origins, while in situ speciation and local clade formation were limited. The global diversity of Chrysomelidae consists of regionalised deep clades at the level of the major zoogeographic realms, which remain recognisable where these realms abut in the Qinling mountains. Yet, the Qinling fauna is clearly distinct from the source areas although local lineage ages are generally Main Conclusions The Qinling fauna is a composite of clades that have either Oriental or Palaearctic origin, indicating the important role of immigration at the realm boundary. Global site‐based phylogenetic analyses based on metagenomic sequencing can address previously intractable questions about the historical biogeography of poorly studied groups even without a fully developed taxonomy.
