Oroxylin A activates ferritinophagy to induce hepatic stellate cell senescence against hepatic fibrosis by regulating cGAS-STING pathway

Ying Sun et al.

Summary: In this study, it was found that Oroxylin A from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi can regulate HSC senescence induced by ferritinophagy through the cGAS-STING pathway to reduce liver fibrosis. Oroxylin A activates HSC ferritinophagy mediated by NCOA4 and induces HSC senescence. The cGAS-STING pathway is crucial in the activation of HSC ferritinophagy by Oroxylin A.

Endothelial cell-released extracellular vesicles trigger pyroptosis and vascular inflammation to induce atherosclerosis through the delivery of HIF1A-AS2

Pengcheng Li et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the clinical significance of endothelial cell (EC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) in atherosclerosis (AS). The study found that HIF1A-AS2 and ESRRG were highly expressed in AS patients, while miR-455-5p was poorly expressed. HIF1A-AS2 could sponge miR-455-5p to elevate the expression of ESRRG and NLRP3, and EVs derived from ECs carrying HIF1A-AS2 induced pyroptosis and vascular inflammation of ECs to promote the progression of AS.

G protein-coupled receptor 35 attenuates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis by reprogramming cholesterol homeostasis in hepatocytes

Xiaoli Wei et al.

Summary: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic liver disease worldwide. G protein-coupled receptor 35 (GPR35) plays a role in metabolic stresses, but its role in NAFLD has been unknown. In this study, we found that hepatocyte GPR35 regulates hepatic cholesterol homeostasis and mitigates NASH. Overexpression of GPR35 protected against diet-induced steatohepatitis, while loss of GPR35 had the opposite effect. Activation of GPR35 with the agonist kynurenic acid (Kyna) suppressed steatohepatitis in mice.

High glucose-induced STING activation inhibits diabetic wound healing through promoting M1 polarization of macrophages

Kang Geng et al.

Summary: Diabetic wounds are characterized by inflammation and cellular dysfunction due to elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Recent studies have shown that the STING signaling pathway plays an important role in regulating inflammation and cellular dysfunction in diabetic wound healing. Activation of the mtDNA-cGAS-STING pathway can promote the healing of diabetic wounds.

Inhibition of cGAS-STING by JQ1 alleviates oxidative stress-induced retina inflammation and degeneration

Ming Zou et al.

Summary: The dry form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of vision loss. A study found that STING and cGAS expression is increased in the macular retinas of dry AMD patients. The activation of cGAS-STING was also observed in oxidative stress-induced mouse retina degeneration, and treatment with the BRD4 inhibitor JQ1 reduced this activation and alleviated inflammation and photoreceptor degeneration.
