Depression is a debilitating mental illness and often comorbid with metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes. Adiponectin an adipocyte–derived hormone antidiabetic insulin-sensitizing properties. Here we show that adiponectin levels in plasma are reduced chronic social-defeat stress model of depression, which correlates decreased social interaction time. A reduction caused by haploinsufficiency results increased susceptibility to aversion, “anhedonia,” learned helplessness causes impaired...

Adiponectin is the most abundant adipokine secreted from adipocytes. Accumulating evidence suggests that physiological roles of adiponectin go beyond its metabolic effects. In present study, we demonstrate receptors 1 and 2 (AdipoR1 AdipoR2) are expressed in adult hippocampal neural stem/progenitor cells (hNSCs). treatment increases proliferation cultured hNSCs a dose- time-dependent manner, whereas apoptosis differentiation into neuronal or glial lineage were not affected. activates...

The lysosomal degradation pathway, autophagy, is essential for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Recently, autophagy has been demonstrated to be required in process adipocyte conversion. However, its role mature adipocytes under physiological and pathological conditions remains unclear. Here, we report a major function BECN1 regulation basal adipocytes. We also show that berberine, natural plant alkaloid, inhibits adipose tissue mice fed high-fat diet via downregulation expression....

Proteins of all living cells undergo a myriad post-translational modifications (PTMs) that are critical to multifarious life processes. In this study, we describe the first comprehensive multiple PTM-omics atlas in parallel with quantitative proteome analyses two representative species African trypanosomes, Trypanosoma brucei and evansi. Ten PTM types approximately 40,000 modified sites 150 histone marks fine map on each protein trypanosomes were accomplished. The biologically different...

Video generation has achieved significant advances through rectified flow techniques, but issues like unsmooth motion and misalignment between videos prompts persist. In this work, we develop a systematic pipeline that harnesses human feedback to mitigate these problems refine the video model. Specifically, begin by constructing large-scale preference dataset focused on modern models, incorporating pairwise annotations across multi-dimensions. We then introduce VideoReward, multi-dimensional...

Increasing hepatic stellate cell (HSC) death is an attractive approach for limiting liver fibrosis. We investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying effects of sorafenib on HSCs. LX2 cells were incubated with and a variety inhibitors apoptosis, autophagy, necrosis. Electron microscopy was used to observe autophagosomes. Inhibitors siRNA examine role Akt/mTOR/p70S6K JNK pathways. Ultrastructural analysis revealed that rat HSCs treated 5 μmol/l accumulated residual digested material empty...

Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers leading to tumor-related deaths worldwide. Chicoric acid (CA) exhibits a variety protective effects in different diseases. However, its role regulating tumor progression has not been reported. Autophagy, as conserved catabolic process, sustains cellular homoeostasis responding stress modulate cell fate. In study, CA on gastric were investigated. The results indicated that treatment markedly reduced viability and induced apoptosis cells,...

Bats harbor many zoonotic viruses, including highly pathogenic viruses of humans and other mammals, but they are typically asymptomatic in bats. To further understand the antiviral immunity bats, we screened identified a series bat major histocompatibility complex (MHC) I Ptal-N*01:01-binding peptides derived from four different bat-borne i.e., Hendra virus (HeV), Ebola (EBOV), Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), H17N10 influenza-like virus. The structures Ptal-N*01:01...
