    Abstract Background: Burkitt's lymphoma, one of the most common subtypes of pediatric malignant lymphoma, is notorious for its swift onset, aggressive proliferation, pronounced invasiveness, and marked malignancy. The therapeutic landscape for Burkitt's lymphoma currently falls short of providing universally effective and tolerable solutions. Andrographolide, a primary active component of Andrographis paniculata, is renowned for its properties of heat-clearing, detoxification, inflammation reduction, and pain relief. It is predominantly used in treating bacterial and viral infections of the upper respiratory tract, as well as dysentery. Various reports highlight the antitumor effects of andrographolide. Yet, its specific impact and the underlying mechanism of action on Burkitt's lymphoma remain an uncharted area of research.
    Method: We employed network pharmacology to pinpoint the targets of andrographolide's action on Burkitt's lymphoma and the associated pathways. We then evaluated the impact of andrographolide on Burkitt's lymphoma using both in vitro and in vivo patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. Concurrently, we confirmed the molecular targets of andrographolide in Burkitt's lymphoma through immunofluorescence assays.
    Result: Utilizing network pharmacology, we identified 15 relevant targets, 60 interrelationships between these targets, and numerous associated signaling pathways for andrographolide's action on Burkitt's lymphoma. In vitro efficacy tests using High-throughput Drug Sensitivity Testing and in vivo PDX model evaluations revealed that andrographolide effectively curtailed the growth of Burkitt's lymphoma. Moreover, we observed a increased in the expression of JUN (c-Jun) and CASP3 (Caspase 3) proteins in Burkitt's lymphoma cells treated with andrographolide.
    Conclusion: Andrographolide inhibits the growth of Burkitt's lymphoma by inhibiting JUN and CASP3 proteins.

    Abstract Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is the second most common tumor in people infected with human immunodeficiency virus worldwide, but its pathogenesis is still unclear. In this study, we discovered that the expression of GATA-binding protein 3 (GATA3) was lowly expressed in KS tissues and KSHV-infected cells, while microRNA-155 (miR-155) was highly expressed in KS serum and KSHV-infected cells. miR-155 promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of KSHV infection by targeting GATA3. Further, The KSHV-encoded protein, the Latency associated nuclear antigen (LANA), promotes the proliferation, migration and invasion of KSHV-infected cells by regulating the miR-155/GATA3 axis. Regarding the molecular mechanism, c-Jun and c-Fos interact to form a complex. LANA upregulates the expression of c-Jun and c-Fos and enhances the formation of c-Jun/c-Fos complex. The complex binds to the -95∼-100 bp site of miR-155 promoter and transcriptionally activates miR-155. All in all, LANA enhances the c-Jun/c-Fos interaction, resulting in enhanced transcriptional regulation of miR-155 by the c-Jun/c-Fos complex, thereby downregulating GATA3 and promoting the proliferation, migration and invasion of KSHV-infected cells. The discovery of LANA/c-Jun/c-Fos/miR-155/GATA3 further refines the pathogenesis of KS, potentially opening a new avenue for developing effective drugs against KS.

    Abstract Pulmonary inflammation induced by cigarette smoke (CS) promoted the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and macrophage polarization caused by CS modulated inflammatory response. Previous studies indicated that salidroside exerted therapeutic effects in COPD, but the anti-inflammatory mechanisms were not clear. This study aimed to explore the effects and mechanisms of salidroside on macrophage polarization induced by CS. Wistar rats received passively CS exposure and were treated intraperitoneally with salidroside at a low, medium or high dose. Lung tissues were stained with hematoxylin-eosin. Emphysema and inflammatory scores were evaluated by histomorphology. Lung function, cytokines, and cell differential counts in BALF were detected. The macrophage polarization was determined by immunohistochemistry in lung tissues. Alveolar macrophages (AMs) were isolated and treated with cigarette smoke extract (CSE), salidroside or inhibitors of relative pathways. The polarization status was determined by qPCR, and the protein level was detected by Western blotting. CS exposure induced emphysema and lung function deterioration. The inflammatory scores, cytokines level and neutrophils counts were elevated after CS exposure. Salidroside treatment partly ameliorated above abnormal. CS exposure activated M1 and M2 polarization of AMs in vivo and in vitro, and salidroside mitigated M1 polarization induced by CS. CSE activated the JNK/c-Jun in AMs and the M1 polarization of AMs was inhibited by the inhibitors of JNK and AP-1. Salidroside treatment deactivated the JNK/c-Jun, which indicated that salidroside mitigated the M1 polarization of AMs induced by CS via inhibiting JNK/c-Jun. Salidroside treatment ameliorated the pulmonary inflammation and M1 polarization of AMs induced by CS, and the process might be mediated by the deactivation of JNK/c-Jun.

    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effect of low-dose trans-resveratrol (trans-RSV) on diabetes-induced retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration and its possible mechanism.
    Methods: A streptozotocin-induced diabetic mouse model was established and treated with or without trans-RSV intragastric administration (10 mg/kg body weight/day) for 12 weeks. Oscillatory potentials (Ops) of the dark-adapted electroretinogram (ERG) were recorded. The number of RGCs was detected by Tuj1 and TUNEL staining. The apoptosis markers in the retina were analyzed by Western blot. The cross sections of optic nerves were observed by transmission electron microscopy. In addition, mouse neuroblastoma N2a cells were injured by high-glucose (HG) treatment. Cell viability and apoptosis were measured with or without low-dose trans-RSV treatment. The intracellular localization of tyrosyl transfer-RNA synthetase (TyrRS) was observed in both mouse retinas and N2a cells. The effects of low-dose trans-RSV on the binding of TyrRS to the transcription factor c-Jun and the binding of c-Jun to pro-apoptotic genes were analyzed by co-IP and ChIP assays in HEK 293 cells.
    Results: Trans-RSV relieved electrophysiological injury of retinas and inhibited RGC apoptosis in diabetic mice. It also protected N2a cells from HG-induced apoptosis. Additionally, it promoted TyrRS nuclear translocation in both diabetic mouse retinas and HG-treated N2a cells. Trans-RSV promoted TyrRS binding to c-Jun, inhibited the phosphorylation of Ser-63 of c-Jun, and downregulated pro-apoptotic gene transcription.
    Conclusions: Low-dose trans-RSV can ameliorate diabetes-induced RGC degeneration via the TyrRS/c-Jun pathway. It can promote TyrRS nuclear translocation and bind to c-Jun, downregulating c-Jun phosphorylation and downstream pro-apoptotic genes.

    Abstract Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an expanding health problem worldwide. Although many studies have made great efforts to elucidate the pathogenesis of NAFLD, the molecular basis remains poorly understood. Here, we showed that hepatic C7ORF41, a critical regulator of innate immune response, was markedly decreased in diet or genetic-induced NAFLD model. We also demonstrated that C7ORF41 overexpression significantly ameliorated hepatic inflammation and lipid accumulation in palmitic acid (PA)-treated hepatocytes, whereas C7ORF41 knockdown showed the opposite effects. Mechanistically, we found the anti-inflammatory role of C7ORF41 was attributed to the suppression of NF-κB p65-mediated induction of inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, we demonstrated that the suppression of C7ORF41 expression in hepatocytes is due to JNK activation, which promotes c-Jun-mediated transcriptional repression of C7ORF41. In conclusion, our findings suggested that a c-Jun/C7ORF41/NF-κB regulatory network controls the inflammatory response and lipid accumulation in NAFLD and may benefit the development of novel and promising therapeutic targets for NAFLD.

    Abstract Objective: Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is an important regulator of the formation and development of intracranial aneurysms. This study explored the molecular mechanisms underlying the induction of MCP-1 and related inflammatory factors in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) under hemodynamic conditions.
    Methods: A modified T chamber was used to simulate fluid flow at the bifurcation of the artery and wall shear stress on HUVECs in vitro. Changes in HUVECs were analyzed in response to impinging flow. And HUVECs without impinging flow were used as the control group. Protein expression levels of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38, activator protein-1, and MCP-1 were detected by Western blot, and the messenger RNA expression levels of MCP-1, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 were determined by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.
    Results: Under impinging flow, the phosphorylation levels of ERK, JNK, and p38, as well as the protein levels of MCP-1, c-Jun, and c-Fos, increased. The messenger RNA expression of MCP-1, IL-1β, and IL-6 also increased in HUVECs. Pretreatment of the HUVECs with inhibitors of JNK and p38 significantly attenuated the increased expression of MCP-1, IL-1β, and IL-6, while ERK inhibitors had no obvious effect.
    Conclusions: Under impinging flow, MCP-1 and inflammatory factors are regulated through the JNK/c-Jun/p38/c-Fos pathway and participate in EC inflammation.

    Abstract Aims: Increasing evidence indicates that FK866, a specific noncompetitive nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase inhibitor, exhibits a protective effect on acute lung injury (ALI). Autophagy plays a pivotal role in sepsis-induced ALI. However, the contribution of autophagy and the underlying mechanism by which FK866-confered lung protection remains elusive. Herein, we aimed to study whether FK866 could alleviate sepsis-induced ALI via the JNK-dependent autophagy.
    Main methods: Male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) to establish the polymicrobial sepsis mice model, and treated with FK866 (10 mg/kg) at 24, 12 and 0.5 h before the CLP procedure. The lung protective effects were measured by lung histopathology, tissue edema, vascular leakage, inflammation infiltration, autophagy-related protein expression and JNK activity. A549 cells were stimulated with LPS (1000 ng/ml) to generate the ALI cell model, and pretreated with FK866 or SP600125 for 30 min to measure the autophagy-related protein expression and JNK activity.
    Key findings: Our results demonstrated that FK866 reduced lung injury score, tissue edema, vascular leakage, and inflammatory infiltration, and upregulated autophagy. The protective effect of autophagy conferred by FK866 on ALI was further clarified by using 3-methyladenine (3MA) and rapamycin. Additionally, the activity of JNK was suppressed by FK866, and inhibition of JNK promoted autophagy and showed a benefit effect.
    Significance: Our study indicates that FK866 protects against sepsis-induced ALI by induction of JNK-dependent autophagy. This may provide new insights into the functional mechanism of NAMPT inhibition in sepsis-induced ALI.

    Abstract Danggui Buxue Tang (DBT) is a well-known Chinese herbal recipe often prescribed in clinical treatment for menopausal and cardiovascular symptoms. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a chemotherapy drug that treats several cancers; however, it causes severe adverse effects and multidrug resistance. Combining natural medications can reduce the side effects of 5-FU use. Hence, we aimed to determine the role of DBT in strengthening the anticancer capabilities of 5-FU in a cultured colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line (HT-29 cell) and xenograft nude mice. HT-29 cells cultured with DBT did not exhibit cytotoxicity. However, co-administration of DBT with 5-FU significantly increased apoptosis and the expression of apoptotic markers. The inhibition of proliferation induced by DBT and 5-FU was shown to be mediated by c-Jun N-terminal kinase signaling. In addition, the potentiation effect of 5-FU and DBT was demonstrated in reducing tumor size, expressions of Ki67 and CD34 in HT-29 xenograft mice. This finding suggests that DBT can work with 5-FU as a novel chemotherapeutic strategy for treating colon cancer.
