    Abstract During translation initiation, the underlying mechanism by which the eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4E, eIF4A, and eIF4G components of eIF4F coordinate their binding activities to regulate eIF4F binding to mRNA is poorly defined. Here, we used fluorescence anisotropy to generate thermodynamic and kinetic frameworks for the interaction of uncapped RNA with human eIF4F. We demonstrate that eIF4E binding to an autoinhibitory domain in eIF4G generates a high-affinity binding conformation of the eIF4F complex for RNA. In addition, we show that the nucleotide-bound state of the eIF4A component further regulates uncapped RNA binding by eIF4F, with a four-fold decrease in the equilibrium dissociation constant observed in the presence versus the absence of ATP. Monitoring uncapped RNA dissociation in real time reveals that ATP reduces the dissociation rate constant of RNA for eIF4F by ∼4-orders of magnitude. Thus, release of ATP from eIF4A places eIF4F in a dynamic state that has very fast association and dissociation rates from RNA. Monitoring the kinetic framework for eIF4A binding to eIF4G revealed two different rate constants that likely reflect two conformational states of the eIF4F complex. Furthermore, we determined that the eIF4G autoinhibitory domain promotes a more stable, less dynamic, eIF4A-binding state, which is overcome by eIF4E binding. Overall, our data support a model whereby eIF4E binding to eIF4G/4A stabilizes a high-affinity RNA-binding state of eIF4F and enables eIF4A to adopt a more dynamic interaction with eIF4G. This dynamic conformation may contribute to the ability of eIF4F to rapidly bind and release mRNA during scanning.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture associated with pelvic floor muscle training for the control of urinary incontinence following radical prostatectomy.
    Method: Open-label, parallel randomized clinical trial. The intervention group (n = 33) underwent eight sessions of systemic acupuncture associated with pelvic floor muscle training and the control group (n = 31) performed only pelvic floor muscle training. The outcome variable was urinary incontinence assessed by the Pad Test and Daily Pad Used, before treatment (T0), after four weeks (T1) and after eight weeks of treatment (T2). Data analysis was performed using a longitudinal model of Generalized Estimating Equations, significance level of 0.05.
    Results: The control group showed greater urinary loss compared to the intervention group at T1 (p = 0.006) and at T2 (p < 0.001). Both groups showed improvement in the level of urinary incontinence over time, but the improvement was greater in the intervention group (p < 0.001).
    Conclusion: Acupuncture associated with pelvic floor muscle training was effective in reducing urinary incontinence in prostatectomized men.Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials:RBR-3jm5y2.

    Abstract Balloon catheter endothelial denudation in New Zealand white rabbits fed high cholesterol diet is a validated atherosclerosis model. Well-characterized in terms of atherosclerosis induction and progression, the metabolic changes associated with the atherosclerosis progression remain indeterminate. Non-targeted metabolomics permits to develop such elucidation and allows to evaluate the metabolic consequences of colchicine treatment, an anti-inflammatory drug that could revert these changes. 16 rabbits underwent 18 weeks of atherosclerosis induction by diet and aortic denudation. Thereafter animals were randomly assigned to colchicine treatment or placebo for 18 weeks while on diet. Plasma samples were obtained before randomization and at 36 weeks. Multiplatform (GC/MS, CE/MS, RP-HPLC/MS) metabolomics was applied. Plasma fingerprints were pre-processed, and the resulting matrixes analyzed to unveil differentially expressed features. Different chemical annotation strategies were accomplished for those significant features. We found metabolites associated with either atherosclerosis progression, or colchicine treatment, or both. Atherosclerosis was profoundly associated with an increase in circulating bile acids. Most of the changes associated with sterol metabolism could not be reverted by colchicine treatment. However, the variations in lysine, tryptophan and cysteine metabolism among others, have shown new potential mechanisms of action of the drug, also related to atherosclerosis progression, but not previously described.

    Abstract The striatum, an essential component of the brain's motor and reward systems, plays a pivotal role in a wide array of cognitive processes. Its dysfunction is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease (PD) and Huntington's disease (HD), leading to profound motor and cognitive deficits. These conditions are often related to excitotoxicity, primarily due to overactivation of NMDA receptors (NMDAR). In the synaptic cleft, glycine transporter type 1 (GlyT1) controls the glycine levels, a NMDAR co-agonist, which modulates NMDAR function. This research explored the neuroprotective potential of NFPS, a GlyT1 inhibitor, in murine models of striatal injury. Employing models of neurotoxicity induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (PD model) and quinolinic acid (HD model), we assessed the effectiveness of NFPS pre-treatment in maintaining the integrity of striatal neurons and averting neuronal degeneration. The results indicated that NFPS pre-treatment conferred significant neuroprotection, reducing neuronal degeneration, protecting dopaminergic neurons, and preserving dendritic spines within the striatum. Additionally, this pre-treatment notably mitigated motor impairments resulting from striatal damage. The study revealed that GlyT1 inhibition led to substantial changes in the ratios of NMDAR subunits GluN2A/GluN1 and GluN2B/GluN1, 24 h after NFPS treatment. These findings underscore the neuroprotective efficacy of GlyT1 inhibition, proposing it as a viable therapeutic strategy for striatum-related damage.

    Abstract Parkinson's-disease (PD) is an incurable, age-related neurodegenerative disease, and its global prevalence of disability and death has increased exponentially. Although motor symptoms are the characteristic manifestations of PD, the clinical spectrum also contains a wide variety of non-motor symptoms, which are the main cause of disability and determinants of the decrease in a patient's quality of life. Noteworthy in this regard is the stress on the cardiac system that is often observed in the course of PD; however, its effects have not yet been adequately researched. Here, an untargeted metabolomics approach was used to assess changes in cardiac metabolism in the 6-hydroxydopamine model of PD. Beta-sitosterol, campesterol, cholesterol, monoacylglycerol, α-tocopherol, stearic acid, beta-glycerophosphoric acid, o-phosphoethanolamine, myo-inositol-1-phosphate, alanine, valine and allothreonine are the metabolites that significantly discriminate parkinsonian rats from sham counterparts. Upon analysis of the metabolic pathways with the aim of uncovering the main biological pathways involved in concentration patterns of cardiac metabolites, the biosynthesis of both phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine, the glucose-alanine cycle, glutathione metabolism and plasmalogen synthesis most adequately differentiated sham and parkinsonian rats. Our results reveal that both lipid and energy metabolism are particularly involved in changes in cardiac metabolism in PD. These results provide insight into cardiac metabolic signatures in PD and indicate potential targets for further investigation.

    Title translation Assessment of Brazilian clinical guidelines in oncology: gaps in drafting, applicability, and editorial independence.
    Abstract The expansion in the variety of clinical guidelines in oncology is perceptible worldwide, highlighting the need to guarantee the quality of these documents. The study thus aimed to assess the quality of Brazilian national guidelines for treatments of breast, prostate, and colon and rectal cancers. We selected 12 Brazilian guidelines published by four different drafting groups (Ministry of Health, Supplementary Health System, and medical societies and associations), and the AGREE II instrument was applied. In all these guidelines, we identified important weaknesses in more than one Domain, especially low values for "applicability" and "editorial independence". The patterns observed per Domains are more related to the drafting group than the respective clinical conditions. Lower scores in "drafting rigor" and "editorial independence" were obtained by nongovernmental drafting groups, including absence of information or lack of its transparency. Although the "clarity of presentation" in the Ministry of Health guidelines was relatively lower, all the guidelines presented major limitations in "applicability". Consequently, in the overall assessment, none of the guidelines was recommended without modifications, and four were not recommended at all. Finally, it is necessary to upgrade the guidelines according to the underlying evidence ("methodological rigor") and to present the recommended practices in a comprehensible and applicable way ("applicability"), and to mitigate conflicting interests in order to offer cancer patients the best available care in Brazil.

    Abstract While there is sustained growth of the older population worldwide, ageing is a consistent risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's-disease (PD). Considered an emblematic movement disorder, PD comprises a miscellany of non-motor symptoms, for which effective management remains an unfulfilled need in clinical practice. Highlighted are the cardiovascular abnormalities, that cause significant burden in PD patients. Evidence suggests that key biological processes underlying PD pathophysiology can be modulated by diet-derived bioactive compounds, such as green propolis, a natural functional food with biological and pharmacological properties. The effects of propolis on cardiac affection associated to PD have received little coverage. In this study, a metabolomics approach and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging were used to assess the metabolic response to diet supplementation with green propolis on heart outcomes of rats with Parkinsonism induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA rats). Untargeted metabolomics approach revealed four cardiac metabolites (2-hydroxybutyric acid, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, monoacylglycerol and alanine) that were significantly modified between animal groups (6-OHDA, 6-OHDA + Propolis and sham). Propolis-induced changes in the level of these cardiac metabolites suggest beneficial effects of diet intervention. From the metabolites affected, functional analysis identified changes in propanoate metabolism (a key carbohydrate metabolism related metabolic pathway), glucose-alanine cycle, protein and fatty acid biosynthesis, energy metabolism, glutathione metabolism and urea cycle. PET imaging detected higher glucose metabolism in the 17 areas of the left ventricle of all rats treated with propolis, substantially contrasting from those rats that did not consume propolis. Our results bring new insights into cardiac metabolic substrates and pathways involved in the mechanisms of the effects of propolis in experimental PD and provide potential novel targets for research in the quest for future therapeutic strategies.
