    Abstract Commendamide, or N-(3-hydroxypalmitoyl)-glycine 1a, is a gut microbiota-derived bioactive metabolite, structurally similar to long-chain N-acyl-amino acids which belong to the complex lipid signaling system known as endocannabinoidome and play important roles in mammals through activation of, inter alia, G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). In this work, we describe a simple, green and economic method for the preparation of commendamide 1a, a GPCR G2A/132 agonist. The developed protocol is general and could also be applied to the synthesis of deuterated commendamide 1b, as well as to other minor microbiota-derived metabolites, such as the analog 2.

    Abstract Cancer manifests as a multifaceted disease, characterized by aberrant cellular proliferation, survival, migration, and invasion. Tumors exhibit variances across diverse dimensions, encompassing genetic, epigenetic, and transcriptional realms. This heterogeneity poses significant challenges in prognosis and treatment, affording tumors advantages through an increased propensity to accumulate mutations linked to immune system evasion and drug resistance. In this review, we offer insights into tumor heterogeneity as a crucial characteristic of cancer, exploring the difficulties associated with measuring and quantifying such heterogeneity from clinical and biological perspectives. By emphasizing the critical nature of understanding tumor heterogeneity, this work contributes to raising awareness about the importance of developing effective cancer therapies that target this distinct and elusive trait of cancer.

    Abstract We investigated a novel dedicated Prostate Imaging for Local Recurrence Reporting and Data System (PI-RRADS) in biochemical recurrence after radiotherapy (RT) and rad- ical prostatectomy (RP) evaluating biparametric magnetic resonance imaging (bpMRI) exams, at 3T MRI of 55 patients. Associating bpMRI and biochemical recurrence data, we calculated bpMRI diagnostic accuracy. Four probability categories, from 1 (very low) to 4 (very high), were distinguished. In 20 patients with radiotherapy, 25% and 75% of lesions were reported as PI-RRADS 3, and 4, respectively. In 35 patients with radi- cal prostatectomy, 7.7% of lesions were included in PI-RRADS 1-2, whereas 40.4% and 51.9% in PI-RRADS 3 and 4 categories, respectively. Excellent agreement and significant correlation between bpMRI and biochemical recurrence were found. BpMRI showed sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, false-posi- tive value, false-negative value, and total diagnostic accuracy of 96.15%, 86.7%, 97.4 %, 81.25%, 13.3%, 3.8% and 94.6%, respectively. BpMRI-based PI-RRADS allows the detection and localization local recurrence in biochemical recurrence after RT and RP contributing in clinical management and treatment.

    Abstract Obesity is associated with a cluster of metabolic disorders, chronic low-grade inflammation, altered gut microbiota, increased intestinal permeability, and alterations of the lipid mediators of the expanded endocannabinoid (eCB) signaling system, or endocannabinoidome (eCBome). In the present study, we characterized the profile of the eCBome and related oxylipins in the small and large intestines of genetically obese ( ob/ob ) and diabetic ( db/db ) mice to decipher possible correlations between these mediators and intestinal inflammation and gut microbiota composition. Basal lipid and gene expression profiles, measured by LC/MS-MS-based targeted lipidomics and qPCR transcriptomics, respectively, highlighted a differentially altered intestinal eCBome and oxylipin tone, possibly linked to increased mRNA levels of inflammatory markers in db/db mice. In particular, the duodenal levels of several 2-monoacylglycerols and N -acylethanolamines were increased and decreased, respectively, in db/db mice, which displayed more pronounced intestinal inflammation. To a little extent, these differences were explained by changes in the expression of the corresponding metabolic enzymes. Correlation analyses suggested possible interactions between eCBome/oxylipin mediators, cytokines, and bacterial components and bacterial taxa closely related to intestinal inflammation. Collectively, this study reveals that db/db mice present a higher inflammatory state in the intestine as compared to ob/ob mice, and that this difference is associated with profound and potentially adaptive or maladaptive, and partly intestinal segment-specific alterations in eCBome and oxylipin signaling. This study opens the way to future investigations on the biological role of several poorly investigated eCBome mediators and oxylipins in the context of obesity and diabetes-induced gut dysbiosis and inflammation.
