Determination of the Anti-Oxidative Stress Mechanism of Isodon suzhouensis Leaves by Employing Bioinformatic and Novel Research Technology

Wei Wang et al.

Summary: The present study aimed to explore the active components in Isodon suzhouensis leaf extracts responsible for antioxidant effects against oxidative stress and the potential mechanism of this activity. It was found that Isodon suzhouensis leaf extracts contain rutin, isoquercetin, glaucocalyxin A, glaucocalyxin B, and other compounds with antioxidant activity. Further network pharmacological analyses and in vitro experimentation showed that Isodon suzhouensis leaf extracts interfere with TNF and the p38 MAPK signaling pathway for antioxidant effects against oxidative stress.

Targeting TGF-β signal transduction for fibrosis and cancer therapy

Dandan Peng et al.

Summary: TGF-beta plays essential roles in early embryonic development, organogenesis, immune regulation, tissue repair, and adult homeostasis. Its involvement in fibrosis and cancer is complex and context-dependent, showing both inhibitory and promoting effects. Therapeutics targeting TGF-beta signaling hold promise in treating fibrosis and cancer, although the development is hindered by potential systemic cytotoxicity.

NUAK1 promotes organ fibrosis via YAP and TGF-β/SMAD signaling

Tianzhou Zhang et al.

Summary: Fibrosis is a key driver of multiple chronic diseases, but effective therapies are lacking. The study identifies NUAK1 as a profibrotic kinase that is up-regulated in fibrotic organs. NUAK1 promotes fibrosis through positive feedback loops involving YAP and TGF-β/SMAD signaling. Inhibiting NUAK1 can attenuate fibrosis and represents a potential therapeutic target.

Prostate Infiltration by Treg and Th17 Cells as an Immune Response to Propionibacterium acnes Infection in the Course of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Prostate Cancer

Sebastian Radej et al.

Summary: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer (PCa) are common diseases in ageing men. Chronic inflammation in the prostate gland is proposed as a risk factor for both BPH and PCa, and Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) has been identified as a potential source of inflammation. This review discusses the potential role of P. acnes in the development of BPH and PCa, emphasizing the importance of regulatory T CD4(+)FoxP3(+) cells and Th17 cells in response to P. acnes infection in the context of both prostate diseases.

Estrogen and G protein-coupled estrogen receptor accelerate the progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia by inducing prostatic fibrosis

Yang Yang et al.

Summary: This study identified the histopathological characteristics and molecular mechanisms underlying accelerated progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Increased stromal components and prostatic fibrosis, accompanied by higher myofibroblast accumulation and collagen deposition, were found to be the main features of accelerated progressive BPH tissues. Mechanism dissection revealed that higher expression of CYP19 and G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) with higher estrogen biosynthesis contribute to the progression of BPH. Targeting the CYP19/estrogen/GPER/G alpha i signaling axis may provide new personalized therapeutics for better suppressing the progression of BPH.

Summary: In a rat model of partial bladder outlet obstruction (PBOO), sodium butyrate (NaBu) was found to improve erectile function, prevent penile fibrosis, and normalize the expression of certain proteins and genes. NaBu may be a promising target for preventing erectile dysfunction (ED) in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).

PDZK1 upregulates nitric oxide production through the PI3K/ERK2 pathway to inhibit porcine circovirus type 2 replication

Haochun Pan et al.

Summary: Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infection enhances the expression of porcine PDZ Domain-Containing 1 (PDZK1) and overexpression of PDZK1 inhibits PCV2 replication. PDZK1 regulates PCV2 replication by controlling nitric oxide production via the PI3K/ERK2 signaling pathway. PDZK1 also modulates IL-4 expression through the PI3K/ERK2 pathway.

Cathepsin K regulates the tumor growth and metastasis by IL-17/CTSK/EMT axis and mediates M2 macrophage polarization in castration-resistant prostate cancer

Ning Wu et al.

Summary: This study found that CTSK is significantly up-regulated in CRPC and is highly correlated with the IL-17 signaling pathway. Through a series of experiments, it was proven that CTSK and IL-17 have oncogenic functions in CRPC. Additionally, CTSK may facilitate the metastasis and excessive proliferation of PC cells by regulating the expression of EMT. Furthermore, high expression of CTSK is associated with an increased concentration of M2 tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in CRPC.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia - what do we know?

Conor M. Devlin et al.

Summary: The pathogenesis of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) involves pathways related to androgens, estrogens, insulin, inflammation, proliferative reawakening, stem cells, and telomerase. Some pathways described over 40 years ago have been reevaluated and are now considered important in the development of BPH. Current research focuses on inflammatory processes within the prostate leading to growth factor production, stem cell activation, and cellular proliferation as key mechanisms in BPH.

Summary: The study found higher RAGE expression levels in malignant prostate neoplasia than in benign prostate hyperplasia, with diabetic patients having significantly higher RAGE scores than control patients. Patients with high RAGE levels had worse disease progression and survival parameters. RAGE expression may serve as a useful biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer.

Comparing the frequency of CD33+ pSTAT3+ myeloid-derived suppressor cells and IL-17+ lymphocytes in patients with prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia

Mohammad-Javad Sanaei et al.

Summary: The study found that the frequency of CD33(+) pSTAT3(+) MDSC and IL-17(+) lymphocyte were significantly higher in PCa patients compared to the BPH group. However, there was no significant relationship between the frequency of these cells and Gleason scores in the PCa group. This suggests that these cells may play a role in tumor progression from BPH to PCa.

EHD3 positively regulated by NR5A1 participates in testosterone synthesis via endocytosis

Lingling Zhang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that EHD3 plays a role in promoting testosterone synthesis, with NR5A1 positively modulating its promoter activity to regulate endocytosis. Conditional knockout of NR5A1 in Leydig cells results in decreased levels of EHD3 and clathrin, impacting serum testosterone concentration. These findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of testosterone synthesis for better understanding of male reproductive health.
