Rosmanol and Carnosol Synergistically Alleviate Rheumatoid Arthritis through Inhibiting TLR4/NF-κB/MAPK Pathway

Lianchun Li et al.

Summary: This study reported two natural phenolic diterpenoids, rosmanol and carnosol, isolated from Callicarpalongissima, which exhibited anti-rheumatoid arthritis (RA) effects. In a mouse model, both compounds alone improved RA symptoms and decreased arthritis index score. Moreover, they inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and blocked the activation of specific signaling pathways. Of particular interest, the combination of these compounds showed enhanced anti-RA effects and inhibitory activity on the signaling pathway.

Carnosol Maintains Intestinal Barrier Function and Mucosal Immune Homeostasis in DSS-Induced Colitis

Xiang Xu et al.

Summary: This study found that carnosol (CA) has inhibitory effects on ulcerative colitis. The results showed that CA can alleviate clinical symptoms and tissue damage of colitis, as well as suppress inflammatory cell infiltration and cytokine expression. In addition, CA can restore epithelial barrier functions and maintain the homeostasis of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes. Mechanistically, CA exerts its anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress in epithelial cells.

The fibrogenic niche in kidney fibrosis: components and mechanisms

Li Li et al.

Summary: Kidney fibrosis, the final outcome of chronic kidney diseases, is characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM). The fibrogenic niche, a unique tissue microenvironment, plays a crucial role in promoting fibroblast activation and organ fibrosis. Understanding the composition and mechanisms of the fibrogenic niche may lead to the development of non-invasive biomarkers and novel therapies for kidney diseases.

Intracellular alpha-fetoprotein mitigates hepatocyte apoptosis and necroptosis by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress

Yun-Fen Chen et al.

Summary: This study investigates the regulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and hepatocyte injury by alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). It is found that high levels of intracellular AFP are detected in liver tissues of patients with chronic liver diseases and mice with induced ER stress. ER stress induces AFP expression in cells and decreases cell viability. AFP upregulates intra-hepatocyte AFP expression by activating ATF6, thereby alleviating ER stress-induced hepatocyte apoptosis and necroptosis.

Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress, Oxidative Stress, and Rheumatic Diseases

Bruna Miglioranza Scavuzzi et al.

Summary: The review focuses on the contribution of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress to the pathogenesis of rheumatic diseases, particularly rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It also discusses the interplay between protein folding and formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), where ER stress induces oxidative stress (OS) and aggravates misfolded protein accumulation and oxidation. Intervention studies targeting ER stress and oxidative stress in these diseases have shown promising results and warrant further investigation.

Alexis Paulina Jimenez-Uribe et al.

Summary: Fibrosis is characterized by pathological excessive deposition of extracellular matrix, involving a complex network of signal transduction pathways, with TGF-β playing a central role. Additionally, molecules not typically associated with fibrosis such as NOX4, mTOR, HDAC, and S1P have been found to be critical in its development.
