Recently, increasing evidence has suggested the association between gut dysbiosis and Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression, yet role of microbiota in AD pathogenesis remains obscure. Herein, we provide a potential mechanistic link neuroinflammation progression. Using mouse models, discovered that, during alteration composition leads to peripheral accumulation phenylalanine isoleucine, which stimulates differentiation proliferation pro-inflammatory T helper 1 (Th1) cells. The...
•Epithelial subtype 1, 2 and 3 were mainly found in the adenocarcinoma 4 was present adenosquamous carcinoma.•Tumors with ErbB pathway mutations harbored a larger population of 1 epithelial cells, Tregs, M2 macrophages.•Increased MDK these tumors interacted its receptor LRP1 to promote immunosuppressive macrophage differentiation.•Crosstalk between macrophage-secreted CXCL10 CXCR3 on Tregs induced GBC mutations.

Adenosine/adenosine receptor-mediated signaling has been implicated in the development of various ischemic diseases, including retinopathies. Here, we show that adenosine A2a receptor (ADORA2A) promotes hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-1 (HIF-1)-dependent endothelial cell glycolysis, which is crucial for pathological angiogenesis proliferative Adora2a expression markedly increased retina mice with oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR). Endothelial cell-specific, but not macrophage-specific...
The molecular mechanisms underlying vascular inflammation and associated inflammatory diseases are not well defined. Here we show that endothelial intracellular adenosine its key regulator kinase (ADK) play important roles in inflammation. Pro-inflammatory stimuli lead to by increasing ADK expression, reducing the level of cells, activating transmethylation pathway through association with S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) hydrolase (SAHH). Increasing genetic knockdown or exogenous reduces...
Abstract The nucleoside adenosine is a potent regulator of vascular homeostasis, but it remains unclear how expression or function the adenosine‐metabolizing enzyme kinase (ADK) and intracellular levels influence angiogenesis. We show here that hypoxia lowered ADK increased in human endothelial cells. Knockdown (KD) elevated adenosine, promoted proliferation, migration, angiogenic sprouting Additionally, mice deficient displayed angiogenesis as evidenced by rapid development retinal...
Growing evidence has shown that the gut-renal connection and gut microbiota dysbiosis play a critical role in immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). However, fecal microbiome profile Chinese patients with IgAN remains unknown. cross-sectional study was designed for first time to investigate compositions primary China evaluate relationship between clinical presentation.Fecal samples were collected from 17 18 age-, sex-, body mass index-matched healthy controls, bacterial DNA extracted 16S...
Abstract Rasfonin is a fungal secondary metabolite with demonstrated antitumor effects. However, the underlying mechanism of regulatory role in autophagy initiated by rasfonin largely unknown. Moreover, function Akt to positively mediate induced remains elusive. In present study, we observed that concomitant upregulation phosphorylation. Both inhibition small molecule inhibitors and genetic modification partially reduced rasfonin-dependent autophagic flux PARP-1 cleavage. The overexpression...
6-Phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase isoform 3 (PFKFB3), a glycolytic enzyme highly expressed in cancer cells, has been reported to participate regulating metabolism, angiogenesis, and autophagy. Although anti-cancer drug oxaliplatin (Oxa) effectively inhibits cell proliferation induces apoptosis, the growing resistance side-effects make it urgent improve therapeutic strategy of Oxa. Oxa autophagy process, role PFKFB3 this process remains unknown. In addition, whether affects...
Soy isoflavones are natural tyrosine kinase inhibitors closely associated with decreased morbidity and mortality of various tumors. The activation kinases such as ERBB2 is the mechanism by which cholecystitis transforms into gallbladder cancer (GBC), therefore, it important to investigate relationship between long-term exposure soy occurrence progression GBC. This case-control study (n = 85 pairs) found that high level plasma isoflavone-genistein (GEN) was a lower risk (≥326.00 ng/mL...
Rationale: Considerable evidence suggests that breast cancer metastasis and recurrence occur due to emergence of stem cells (CSCs). In our previous study, we designed a high-throughput siRNA screening platform identifies inflammation genes involved in the regulation cell stemness. We reported CCL16 protein decreases OCT4 expression reduces ALDH+ subpopulation. However, mechanism by which maintains cell-like properties remains unclear. Methods: Tissue microarrays were used evaluate...
Anthrax toxin receptor 1 (ANTXR1), a type I transmembrane protein, is one of the receptors that facilitates entrance anthrax into cells. Previous studies have confirmed pivotal role ANTXR1 in progression and tumorigenesis diverse cancer types. However, biological function gastric (GC) still unknown. The present study aimed to investigate GC illuminate potential molecular mechanisms. Bioinformatics analysis found expression was significantly upregulated tissue its overexpression associated...
Alternol is a naturally occurring compound that exerts antitumor activity in several cancers. However, whether induces immune response remains unknown. In this study, we investigated induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) prostate cancer cells. triggered ICD cells, as evidenced by the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) (i.e., calreticulin, CALR; high mobility group protein B1, HMGB1; and adenosine triphosphate, ATP) pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin [IL]-1α, IL-1β,...
BACKGROUND As a member of the chaperonin-containing tailless complex polypeptide 1 (TCP1) complex, which plays pivotal role in ensuring accurate folding numerous proteins, TCP1 subunit 6A (CCT6A) participates various physiological and pathological processes.
