    Abstract: ... the protective effect of Modified Qing'e Formula (MQEF) on UV-induced skin oxidative damage and its molecular mechanisms ...

    Abstract Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light triggers the rapid generation and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in skin cells, which increases oxidative stress damage and leads to photoaging. Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) modulates the antioxidant defense of skin cells against environmental factors, especially ultraviolet radiation. Natural products that target Nrf2-regulated antioxidant reactions are promising candidates for anti-photoaging. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of Modified Qing'e Formula (MQEF) on UV-induced skin oxidative damage and its molecular mechanisms. In this study, the photoaging models of human keratinocytes (HaCaT) and ICR mice were established by UV irradiation.

    Abstract To explore the main active components and effects of cell cycle regulation mechanism of Astragali radix (AR) and Angelicae sinensis radix (ASR) on oxidative damage in vascular endothelial cells, a model of oxidative damage in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) treatment was developed. Based on the "knock-out/knock-in" model of the target component, cell viability, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage were assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, fluorescent probe 2,7-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA), and colorimetric assay, respectively, to evaluate the protective effect of the active components of AR and ASR (astragaloside IV (AS IV), astragaloside I (AS I), formononetin (FRM), calycosin (CAL), calycosin-7-O-

    Abstract Introduction: To explore the influence of intestinal flora on the occurrence, development and antiviral therapy of chronic hepatitis B (CHB), 16S rDNA amplification sequencing was performed to investigate the intestinal flora in CHB patients treated with entecavir (ETV) and Clostridium butyricum (CB).
    Methods: CHB patients were divided into the ETV group (treatment with ETV alone) and ETV + CB group (treatment with ETV and CB). After 8-week treatment, feces samples were collected and processed for 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing; blood samples were collected for the biochemical, immunologic and virologic evaluations, which were compared between groups.
    Results: ETV treatment for 8 weeks significantly decreased the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and HBV DNA compared to those before treatment, but there were no marked differences between the ETV group and ETV + CB group. The intestinal flora changed significantly in the CHB patients after ETV + CB treatment: there were marked differences in 13 unique species before treatment and 4 unique species after ETV + CB treatment; at the phylum level, the top five bacteria with significant difference between patients before treatment and ETV + CB patients were Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Cyanobacteria, Euryarchaeota and Synergistetes. There were significant differences in 25 unique species in the ETV group and 4 unique species in the ETV + CB group; at the phylum level, the top five bacteria with significant difference between ETV patients and ETV + CB patients were Actinobacteria, Fusobacteria, Proteobacteria, Saccharibacteria and Synergistetes.
    Conclusion: ETV treatment improves the serum biochemical, immunologic and virologic variables, but additional CB fails to further improve these variables. Of note, additional CB affects the intestinal flora in the CHB patients treated with ETV.

    Abstract Inhibitors targeting bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) proteins are promising anticancer drugs. The emergence of drug resistance during treatments will impair their therapeutic effectiveness. To investigate the mechanisms of acquired resistance to BET inhibitors (BETi), we generated a series of drug-resistant sublines by exposing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) NCI-H1975 cells to the BETi ABBV-075. These sublines displayed cross-resistance to other tested BETis, increased migration abilities, reduced growth rates accompanied by an increased proportion of cells in G1 phase and decreased apoptotic responses to BETis. Changes in RNA expression and gene mutation profiles in the resistant variants indicate that emergence of BETi resistance is multifactorial. Importantly, all the tested ABBV-075-resistant variants showed loss of vesicular overexpressed in cancer prosurvival protein 1 (VOPP1) and an increase in the antiapoptotic BCL-2 protein. By knockdown, knockout, and reconstitution of VOPP1 in resistant cells, their parental cells, and other NSCLC cells, we confirmed that the loss of VOPP1 contributed to BETi resistance. Moreover, knockout of VOPP1 in the parental cells caused the increased expression of BCL-2, and the latter directly mediated BETi resistance. Through combined treatments with BETis and BCL-2 inhibitors (BCL-2i), we demonstrated that BCL-2is synergistically sensitized resistant cells to BETis.
    Implications: Based on these results, for the first time, we establish a causal link from VOPP1 loss to BCL-2 gain and then to BETi resistance, which provides new insights into BETi resistance and paves the way for further testing to circumvent BETi resistance.

    Abstract Ecto-5'-nucleotidase (CD73), encoded by the NT5E gene, mediates tumor immunosuppression and has been targeted for the development of new anticancer drugs. Proteasome inhibitors impair protein degradation by inhibiting proteasome and have been used in the clinic for cancer therapy. Here we report that proteasome inhibitors reduce the protein and mRNA levels of CD73. Among 127 tested small-molecule drugs, proteasome inhibitors were found to consistently decrease the protein and mRNA levels of CD73 in NSCLC NCI-H1299 cells. This effect was further confirmed in different NSCLC cells exposed to different proteasome inhibitors. In those treated cells, the protein levels of ERK and its active form p-ERK, the vital components in the MAPK pathway, were reduced. Consistently, inhibitors of MEK and ERK, another two members of the MAPK pathway, also lowered the protein and mRNA levels of CD73. Correspondingly, treatments with fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2), an activator of the MAPK pathway, enhanced the levels of p-ERK and partly rescued the proteasome inhibitor-driven reduction of CD73 mRNA and protein in NSCLC cells. However, exogenous CD73 overexpression in murine Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells was not lowered either in vitro or in vivo, by the treatments with proteasome inhibitors and basically, did not affect their in vitro proliferative inhibition either. In contrast, CD73 overexpression dramatically reduced the in vivo anticancer activity of Bortezomib in immunocompetent mice, with tumor growth inhibition rates from 52.18 % for LLC/vector down to 8.75 % for LLC/NT5E homografts. These findings give new insights into the anticancer mechanisms of proteasome inhibitors.

    Abstract To explore the main active components and effects of cell cycle regulation mechanism of Astragali radix (AR) and Angelicae sinensis radix (ASR) on oxidative damage in vascular endothelial cells, a model of oxidative damage in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) treatment was developed. Based on the “knock-out/knock-in” model of the target component, cell viability, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage were assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, fluorescent probe 2,7-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA), and colorimetric assay, respectively, to evaluate the protective effect of the active components of AR and ASR (astragaloside IV (AS IV), astragaloside I (AS I), formononetin (FRM), calycosin (CAL), calycosin-7-O-β-D glucoside (CLG), and ferulic acid (FRA)) against oxidative damage. The cell cycle and expression of genes encoding cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) were observed using flow cytometry and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The results showed that the combination of active components (ACC) significantly inhibited the decrease in cell viability as well as the increase in ROS and LDH release in HUVECs induced by ox-LDL treatment. AS IV and FRM promoted the proliferation of HUVECs but the proliferation index was decreased in the AS I and FRA groups; this inhibitory effect was counteracted by the ACC. The ACC reduced and increased the proportion of positive cells in G1 and S phases, respectively, followed by the upregulation of cyclin A (CCNA), cyclin E (CCNE), and CDK2 mRNA expression and downregulation of cyclin B (CCNB), cyclin D1 (CCND1), CDK1, CDK4, and CDK6 mRNA expression, which significantly mitigated inhibition of HUVECs proliferation induced by ox-LDL treatment. Taken together, AS IV, AS I, FRM, CAL, CLG, and FRA were the primary pharmacodynamic substances of AR and ASR that alleviated oxidative injury in HUVECs. ACC mitigated the upregulation of ...

    Abstract Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are identified as a heterogeneous population of cells with the function to suppress innate as well as adaptive immune responses. The initial studies of MDSCs were primarily focused on the field of animal tumor models or cancer patients. In cancer, MDSCs play the deleterious role to inhibit tumor immunity and to promote tumor development. Over the past few years, an increasing number of studies have investigated the role of MDSCs in autoimmune diseases. The beneficial effects of MDSCs in autoimmunity have been reported by some studies, and thus, immunosuppressive MDSCs may be a novel therapeutic target in autoimmune diseases. There are some controversial findings as well. Many questions such as the activation, differentiation, and suppressive functions of MDSCs and their roles in autoimmune diseases remain unclear. In this review, we have discussed the current understanding of MDSCs in autoimmune diseases.

    Abstract Abundant gravel in vineyards bothers growers. To investigate the gravel covering inner-row effect on grapes and wines, a two-year experiment was carried out. Regional climate and vine microclimate were collected, the flavoromics of grapes and wines were determined by HPLC-MS and HS/SPME-GC-MS. Gravel covering reduced the soil moisture. Light-colored gravel covering (LGC) enhanced the reflected light by 7-16% and cluster-zone temperature by up to 2.5 °C. Dark-colored gravel covering (DGC) absorbed 13% of the solar radiation and cooled the cluster-zones. DGC promoted the accumulation of 3'4'5'-hydroxylated anthocyanins and C
