Deciphering the cellular mechanisms underlying fibrosis-associated diseases and therapeutic avenues

Hua Miao et al.

Summary: Fibrosis is a pathological condition caused by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix components, leading to tissue disruption and organ dysfunction. Understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms related to fibrosis is crucial for the development of targeted drug therapies. Targeting various mediators involved in fibrogenesis may offer effective therapeutic strategies against fibrosis.

Nootkatone attenuates myocardial oxidative damage, inflammation, and apoptosis in isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction in rats

M. F. Nagoor Meeran et al.

Summary: This study investigated the cardioprotective effects of Nootkatone (NKT) in rats against isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction, showing that NKT significantly restored or modulated altered biochemical and molecular parameters in the heart tissues. Histopathological observations confirmed the myocardial restoring effect of NKT, suggesting it as a potential alternative to cardioprotective agents in ischemic heart diseases.

Redox signaling pathways in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO)-induced renal fibrosis

Ana Karina Aranda-Rivera et al.

Summary: In the UUO model, overproduction of ROS leads to alterations in signaling pathways, promoting inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis, contributing to fibrosis development. Impairment of mitochondrial metabolism is also involved in this process.

Apamin inhibits renal fibrosis via suppressing TGF-β1 and STAT3 signaling in vivo and in vitro

Mi-Gyeong Gwon et al.

Summary: Renal fibrosis is a progressive and chronic process that affects patients with chronic kidney disease, leading to irreversible failure of renal function. TGF-beta 1 signaling plays a key role in inducing myofibroblast activation and extracellular matrix production in renal fibrosis. Apamin has been shown to have a beneficial effect in inhibiting renal fibrosis through the modulation of TGF-beta 1 signaling pathways.
