Targeted delivery of celastrol to glomerular endothelium and podocytes for chronic kidney disease treatment

Qingsi Wu et al.

Summary: The etiology of chronic kidney disease is complex, leading to outcomes such as glomerular sclerosis, endothelial dysfunction, and chronic inflammation. Traditional Chinese herb tripterygium wilfordii has shown efficacy in kidney disease treatment, with active ingredient celastrol being toxic. Targeted delivery systems like peptides coupled CLT-phospholipid lipid nanoparticles offer efficient drug delivery to alleviate inflammation and endothelial damage in CKD.

Parvovirus B19 induces cellular senescence in human dermal fibroblasts: putative role in systemic sclerosis-associated fibrosis

Rosaria Arvia et al.

Summary: The study found that infection with parvovirus B19 (B19V) can induce senescence in normal dermal fibroblasts and lead to the production of pro-inflammatory factors similar to fibrosis. B19V infection also resulted in DNA damage, indicating its potential role in fibrotic processes.

Insights into the knowledge of complex diseases: Environmental infectious/ toxic agents as potential etiopathogenetic factors of systemic sclerosis

Clodoveo Ferri et al.

Summary: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease with characteristics of immune system alterations, diffuse microangiopathy, and fibrosis. The exact etiology of SSc is unclear, but it may involve multiple genetic and environmental factors. Viruses like HCMV, HHV-6, B19V, and retroviruses, as well as chemical/occupational agents, have been proposed as potential causative agents. Further research on the etiopathogenesis of SSc may provide insights into diseases characterized by diffuse microangiopathy or altered fibrogenesis.

Biosynthesis, total synthesis, structural modifications, bioactivity, and mechanism of action of the quinone-methide triterpenoid celastrol

Yun Lu et al.

Summary: Celastrol, a quinone-methide triterpenoid, has shown potential in anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antiobesity activities. Studies on its chemical structure and biosynthesis have advanced, but its clinical applications are limited due to toxic effects. Structural modifications have been explored to improve its pharmacological properties for future research.
