Metabolic intervention is a novel anti-rheumatic approach. The glycolytic regulator NAMPT has been identified as therapeutic target of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), while other metabolic regulators coordinating to perpetuate inflammation are yet be investigated. We continuously monitored and validated expression changes Nampt inflammatory indicators in peripheral blood cells from rats with collagen-induced (CIA). Gene transcriptional profiles Nampt+ Nampt++ samples identical CIA were compared...

The B7 gene family has crucial roles in the regulation of adaptive cellular immunity. In cancer, deregulation co-inhibitory molecules is associated with reduced antitumor immunity and cancer immune evasion. FDA approval immunotherapy antibodies against cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)—both ligands family—demonstrate impact these checkpoint regulators cancer. Using data from cBioPortal, we performed comprehensive molecular profiling 10...

Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major obstacle in the effective chemotherapeutic treatment of cancers. Triptolide (TPL) diterpenoid isolated from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f., traditional Chinese medicine. It was demonstrated our previous study that TPL exerts anti-MDR cancers on various MDR cell lines (including A549/Taxol, MCF-7/ADR and Bel7402/5-Fu). The present designed to investigate its anti-proliferative activity A549/Taxol cells, explore underlying mechanism action. cells assessed...

A previously validated anti-rheumatic compound α-mangostin (MAN) shows significant metabolism regulatory effects. The current study aimed to clarify whether this property contributed its inhibition on synovial angiogenesis. Male wistar rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) were orally treated by MAN for 32 days. Afterwards, biochemical parameters and cytokines in plasma determined corresponding kits, glycometabolism-related metabolites further accurately quantified LC-MS method....

A previously identified anti-rheumatic compound α -mangostin (MAN) possesses notable metabolism regulatory properties. In this study, we investigated the immune implication of MAN-altered fat on adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) in rats. Seven days after AIA induction, rats received oral treatment MAN at 50 mg/kg/day for 30 days. Metabolic indicators and basic clinical parameters were evaluated using samples collected day 20 38 since immunization. Expression nicotinamide...

Metabolism alteration is a common complication of rheumatic arthritis (RA). This work investigated the reason behind RA-caused triglyceride (TG) changes. Fresh RA patients' whole blood was transfused into NOD-SCID mice. Metabolism-regulatory tissues were examined after sacrifice. To verify findings, rats with long-lasting adjuvant-induced (AIA) analyzed. Some injected human plasma and GPIHBP1, their TG monitored. Various cells stimulated by cytokines or subjects' serum. pre-adipocytes...
