    Abstract Hypertension is the primary cause of cardiovascular disease, which is a leading killer worldwide. Despite the prevalence of this non-communicable disease, still between 90% and 95% of cases are of unknown or multivariate cause ("essential hypertension"). Current therapeutic options focus primarily on lowering blood pressure through decreasing peripheral resistance or reducing fluid volume, but fewer than half of hypertensive patients can reach blood pressure control. Hence, identifying unknown mechanisms causing essential hypertension and designing new treatment accordingly are critically needed for improving public health. In recent years, the immune system has been increasingly implicated in contributing to a plethora of cardiovascular diseases. Many studies have demonstrated the critical role of the immune system in the pathogenesis of hypertension, particularly through pro-inflammatory mechanisms within the kidney and heart, which, eventually, drive a myriad of renal and cardiovascular diseases. However, the precise mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets remain largely unknown. Therefore, identifying which immune players are contributing to local inflammation and characterizing pro-inflammatory molecules and mechanisms involved will provide promising new therapeutic targets that could lower blood pressure and prevent progression from hypertension into renal or cardiac dysfunction.

    Abstract Background: CD8
    Methods: We used mouse models of hypertension. Wild type were used as genetic controls, OT1 and Rag2/OT1 mice were utilized to determine antigen dependency, and P2X7-knockout mice were studied to define the role of P2X7 in activating CD8Ts and promoting hypertension. Blood pressure was monitored continuously and kidneys were obtained at different experimental end points. Freshly isolated CD8Ts from mice for activation assays and ATP stimulation. CD8T activation-induced promotion of sodium retention was explored in cocultures of CD8Ts and mouse DCTs.
    Results: We found that OT1 and Rag2/OT1 mice, which are nonresponsive to common antigens, still developed hypertension and CD8T-activation in response to deoxycorticosterone acetate/salt treatment, similar to wild-type mice. Further studies identified the P2X7 receptor on CD8Ts as a possible mediator of this antigen-independent activation of CD8Ts in hypertension. Knockout of the P2X7 receptor prevented calcium influx and cytokine production in CD8Ts. This finding was associated with reduced CD8T-DCT stimulation, reversal of excessive salt retention in DCTs, and attenuated development of salt-sensitive hypertension.
    Conclusions: Our findings suggest a novel mechanism by which CD8Ts are activated in hypertension to exacerbate salt retention and infer that the P2X7 receptor on CD8Ts may represent a new therapeutic target to attenuate T-cell-mediated immunopathology in hypertension.

    Abstract Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic liver disease and lacks for safe and effective drug to therapy completely. Ginsenoside-Rg1 is one of the main components of ginseng and has been proved to counteract a variety of diseases. However, there is currently a lack of sufficient evidence to support the efficacy of ginsenoside-Rg1 in the treatment of NAFLD. Our aim was to investigate whether Ginsenoside-Rg1 is a potential drug for NAFLD.NAFLD model in rats was established by giving a high-fat diet (HFD), ginsenoside-Rg1 was intragastrically administered 100 mg/kg/d for 8 weeks in NAFLD rat. Serum biochemical indices were measured. Liver tissues were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and oil red O. Total RNA was extracted from liver and was used for high throughput sequencing to identify the changes of transcriptome. The relevant hub genes were verified by quantitative real-time PCR and western blot.Serum biochemical analysis indicated that ginsenoside-Rg1 improved liver function. Additionally, the staining of HE and oil red O indicated ginsenoside-Rg1 could remit pathology process of NAFLD. The transcriptome changes also support this result and reveals Atf3 and Acox2 were key genes.Taken together, these results suggest that the efficiency of ginsenoside-Rg1 against NAFLD and confirmed that ginsenoside-Rg1 is a potential effective drug in treatment of NAFLD.

    Abstract Background: Renal T cells contribute importantly to hypertension, but the underlying mechanism is incompletely understood. We reported that CD8Ts directly stimulate distal convoluted tubule cells (DCTs) to increase NCC (sodium chloride co-transporter) expression and salt reabsorption. However, the mechanistic basis of this pathogenic pathway that promotes hypertension remains to be elucidated.
    Methods: We used mouse models of DOCA+salt (DOCA) treatment and adoptive transfer of CD8
    Results: We identified critical molecular players and demonstrated their roles in augmenting the CD8T-DCT interaction leading to salt-sensitive hypertension. We found that activated CD8Ts exhibit enhanced interaction with DCTs via IFN-γ-induced upregulation of MHC-I and PDL1 in DCTs, thereby stimulating higher expression of NCC in DCTs to cause excessive salt retention and progressive elevation of blood pressure. Eliminating IFN-γ or renal tubule-specific knockdown of PDL1 prevented T cell homing into the kidney, thereby attenuating hypertension in 2 different mouse models.
    Conclusions: Our results identified the role of activated CD8Ts in contributing to increased sodium retention in DCTS through the IFNγ-PDL1 pathway. These findings provide a new mechanism for T cell involvement in the pathogenesis of hypertension and reveal novel therapeutic targets.

    Abstract Lactoferrin is a member of the transferrin family of multifunctional iron binding glycoproteins. While numerous physiological functions have been described for lactoferrin, the mechanisms underlying these functions are not clear. To further study the functions and mechanisms of lactoferrin, we modified the lactoferrin promoter of mice using the CRISPR/Cas9 system to reduce or eliminate lactoferrin expression. Seven mice with lactoferrin promoter mutations were obtained with an efficiency of 24% (7/29) by injecting the plasmid pX330, expressing a small guide RNA and human codon-optimized SpCas9, into fertilized eggs of mice. Plasmid integration and off-targeting of pX330 were not detected. These results confirmed that pronuclear injection of a circular plasmid is a feasible and efficient method for targeted mutagenesis in mice.
