Cucurbitacin B inhibits non-small cell lung cancer in vivo and in vitro by triggering TLR4/NLRP3/GSDMD-dependent pyroptosis

Renyikun Yuan et al.

Summary: The study revealed that CuB exerts anti-tumor effects in NSCLC by inducing pyroptosis through directly binding to Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and activating the NLRP3 inflammasome, leading to Gasdermin D (GSDMD) cleavage. Additionally, CuB enhances mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, mitochondrial membrane protein Tom20 accumulation, and cytosolic calcium (Ca2+) release, ultimately promoting pyroptosis in NSCLC cells. A dosage-independent suppression of lung tumor growth was observed in mice treated with CuB, with 0.75 mg/kg showing a superior antitumor effect compared to Gefitinib.

Ginsenoside Rb1 attenuates age-associated vascular impairment by modulating the Gas6 pathway

Shiye Ke et al.

Summary: Our study found that in aged mice, the expression of senescence proteins and cellular adhesion molecules were significantly increased, resulting in impaired endothelium-dependent thoracic aorta relaxation. However, treatment with Rb1 decreased the expression of these proteins and preserved endothelium-dependent relaxation. Additionally, Rb1 treatment also reduced calcium and collagen deposition in aged mice, suggesting its potential as an anti-aging vascular impairment agent.

Summary: The study demonstrates that OPD treatment significantly reduces the development of atherosclerosis, improves lipid levels and liver steatosis, and decreases the relative abundance of Erysipelotrichaceae genera associated with cholesterol metabolism in gut microbiota. OPD may attenuate atherosclerosis by inhibiting mTOR phosphorylation and lipid metabolism signaling pathways, in addition to altering gut microbiota composition and fecal metabolites.
