Essential Involvement of Neutrophil Elastase in Acute Acetaminophen Hepatotoxicity Using BALB/c Mice

Yuko Ishida et al.

Summary: Intense neutrophil infiltration is a characteristic of acetaminophen-induced acute liver injury. In this study, the efficacy of a specific neutrophil elastase inhibitor, sivelestat, was investigated in mice with acetaminophen-induced liver injury. Treatment with sivelestat resulted in improved survival, reduced liver damage, decreased NOS-II expression, and diminished neutrophil infiltration. These findings suggest a new clinical application for sivelestat in the treatment of acetaminophen-induced liver failure.

Attenuation of Ventilation-Enhanced Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition through the Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase-γ in a Murine Bleomycin-Induced Acute Lung Injury Model

Li-Fu Li et al.

Summary: Mechanical ventilation (MV) used in patients with acute lung injury (ALI) induces lung inflammation and causes epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). We hypothesized that MV with or without bleomycin treatment would increase EMT through the PI3K-gamma pathway. Our data suggest that MV augmented EMT after bleomycin-induced ALI, partially through the PI3K-gamma pathway.

Docking experiments suggest that gloriosine has microtubule-targeting properties similar to colchicine

Ankita Misra et al.

Summary: Gloriosine, a metabolite of Gloriosa superba L., has similar chemical properties as colchicine. Through in silico and in vivo analysis, we found that gloriosine has a strong affinity for β-tubulin at the colchicine binding site (CBS). The docking results showed a binding score of (-) 7.5 kcal/Mol, and the ligand pose overlapped with co-crystallized colchicine by more than 85%. Gloriosine exhibited cytotoxic effects on cell division and showed potential as an alternative to colchicine in cytology and other clinical conditions.

Jingfang Granule alleviates bleomycin-induced acute lung injury via CD200-CD200R immunoregulatory pathway

Ke Lv et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of Jingfang granules on acute lung injury and its mechanisms. The results showed that Jingfang granules can attenuate pulmonary injury and inflammation by reducing the recruitment and activation of alveolar macrophages through the CD200-CD200R immunoregulatory signal axis. This provides an experimental basis for the clinical application of Jingfang granules in COVID-19.

THE EVOLUTION OF REGULATED CELL DEATH PATHWAYS IN ANIMALS AND THEIR EVASION BY PATHOGENS

Bart Tummers et al.

Summary: The coevolution of host-pathogen interactions plays a crucial role in human physiological traits related to protection against or susceptibility to infections. Animals utilize regulated cell death pathways to control infections, which have coevolved with microbes. However, microbes have also developed strategies to interfere with these pathways and evade eradication by the host.

N-Acetyldopamine dimers from Oxya chinensis sinuosa attenuates lipopolysaccharides induced inflammation and inhibits cathepsin C activity

Ashutosh Bahuguna et al.

Summary: This study examined the anti-inflammatory and cathepsin C inhibitory activities of a compound called DAB1 isolated from the rice field grasshopper. The results showed that DAB1 reduced the expression of inflammatory mediators and cytokines, inhibited the nuclear translocation of NF-kappa B, and inhibited cathepsin C activity. The study suggests that DAB1 could be used as an anti-inflammatory and cathepsin C inhibiting agent in drug development.

Cortactin in Lung Cell Function and Disease

Mounica Bandela et al.

Summary: Cortactin (CTTN) is an actin-binding and cytoskeletal protein that plays a crucial role in regulating cellular processes, particularly in vascular endothelial cells. It undergoes post-translational modifications and interacts with other proteins to alter cytoskeletal structures and signaling mechanisms. Its function is important for maintaining barrier integrity and inhibiting vascular permeability in vascular endothelial cells. It also affects the pathophysiology of various lung disorders.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of a novel colchicine-magnolol hybrid for inhibiting the growth of Lewis lung carcinoma in Vitro and in Vivo

Zhiyue Li et al.

Summary: In this study, a novel hybrid CMH was designed and synthesized, which showed stronger anti-cancer activity against lung carcinoma cells compared to colchicine, with lower toxicity on normal lung cells. In a mouse model, CMH effectively inhibited tumor growth and showed higher efficacy than cisplatin. Mechanistic studies revealed that CMH suppressed the protein expression of phosphorylated ERK and molecular docking analysis indicated its binding to the colchicine binding site of tubulin. These findings suggest that CMH has potential as an antineoplastic agent and provide a basis for further investigation and confirmation of its therapeutic potential.

Summary: Chronic inflammation plays a crucial role in breast cancer pathobiology, affecting tumor progression, metastasis, and therapeutic outcomes. Inflammasomes are protein complexes that respond to damage- and pathogen-associated molecular patterns, triggering the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Dysregulation of inflammasome activation can lead to inflammatory diseases, neurodegeneration, and cancer.
