    Abstract Epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors (EGFRi) have exhibited promising clinical outcomes in the treatment of various cancers. However, their widespread application has been limited by low patient eligibility and the emergence of resistance. Leveraging a multi-omics approach (>1000 cancer cell lines), we explored molecular signatures linked to EGFRi responsiveness and found that expression signatures involved in the estrogen response could recapitulate cancer cell dependency on EGFR, a phenomenon not solely attributable to EGFR-activating mutations. By correlating genome-wide function screening data with EGFRi responses, we identified chemokine receptor 6 (CCR6) as a potential druggable target to mitigate EGFRi resistance. In isogenic cell models, pharmacological inhibition of CCR6 effectively reversed acquired EGFRi resistance, disrupting mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, a cellular process commonly associated with therapy resistance. Our data-driven strategy unveils drug-response biomarkers and therapeutic targets for resistance, thus potentially expanding EGFRi applicability and efficacy.

    Abstract Loss of skeletal muscle mass and function has detrimental effects on quality of life, morbidity, and mortality, and is particularly relevant in aging societies. The enhancement of mitochondrial function has shown promise in promoting muscle differentiation and function. Ginsenoside Rc (gRc), a major component of ginseng, has various pharmacological activities; however, its effect on muscle loss remains poorly explored. In this study, we examined the effects of gRc on the hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂)-induced reduction of cell viability in C2C12 myoblasts and myotubes and H₂O₂-induced myotube degradation. In addition, we investigated the effects of gRc on the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial superoxide, ATP generation, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma co-activator 1α (PGC-1α) activity in myoblasts and myotubes under H₂O₂ treatment. Furthermore, to elucidate the mechanism of action of gRc, we conducted a transcriptome analysis of myotubes treated with or without gRc under H₂O₂ treatment. gRc effectively suppressed H₂O₂-induced cytotoxicity, intracellular ROS, and mitochondrial superoxide production, restored PGC-1α promoter activity, and increased ATP synthesis. Moreover, gRc significantly affected the expression levels of genes involved in maintaining mitochondrial mass and biogenesis, while downregulating genes associated with muscle degradation in C2C12 myotubes under oxidative stress. We provide compelling evidence supporting the potential of gRc as a promising treatment for muscle loss and weakness. Further investigations of the pharmacological effects of gRc under various pathological conditions of muscle loss will contribute to the clinical development of gRc as a therapeutic intervention.

    Abstract A 7-year-old male gray wolf was found dead at a zoo during exhibition. To determine the cause of death, histological and gross necropsy diagnoses and a molecular analysis were performed. The gross necropsy revealed a swollen abdomen, hemorrhagic exudates around the mouth, splenomegaly, a discolored liver, a congested kidney, hemorrhagic ascites, and dark gray-colored membranes and air bubbles in the fundus of the stomach. Rod-shaped bacteria were found in the liver parenchyma and hemorrhagic ascites using Giemsa staining. The nucleotide sequencing of the cultured bacteria identified the causative agent as Plesiomonas shigelloides, which is rarely responsible for systemic infections. This study describes a rare case and the first reported systemic gastrointestinal infection due to P. shigelloides in a zoo animal.

    Abstract Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is an advanced stage of fatty liver disease characterized by liver damage, inflammation, and fibrosis. Although neutrophil infiltration is consistently observed in the livers of patients with NASH, the precise role of neutrophil-recruiting chemokines and infiltrating neutrophils in NASH pathogenesis remains poorly understood. Here, we aimed to elucidate the role of neutrophil infiltration in the transition from fatty liver to NASH by examining hepatic overexpression of interleukin-8 (IL8), a major chemokine responsible for neutrophil recruitment in humans. Mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 3 months developed fatty liver without concurrent liver damage, inflammation, and fibrosis. Subsequent infection with an adenovirus overexpressing human IL8 for an additional 2 weeks increased IL8 levels, neutrophil infiltration, and liver injury in mice. Mechanistically, IL8-induced liver injury was associated with the upregulation of components of the NADPH oxidase 2 complex, which participate in neutrophil oxidative burst. IL8-driven neutrophil infiltration promoted macrophage aggregate formation and upregulated the expression of chemokines and inflammatory cytokines. Notably, IL8 overexpression amplified factors associated with fibrosis, including collagen deposition and hepatic stellate cell activation, in HFD-fed mice. Collectively, hepatic overexpression of human IL8 promotes neutrophil infiltration and fatty liver progression to NASH in HFD-fed mice.

    Abstract This work details the non-invasive evaluation of a carotid arterial blood pressure (ABP) waveform during the Valsalva maneuver. Unfocused and wide acoustic beams are insonated on the carotid artery to achieve motion-tolerant measurements with a simple two-element ultrasound scanner. Arterial flow and distension waveforms are reliably estimated from spectral Doppler and M-mode ultrasound images whose qualities are consistently maintained in different phases of the maneuver despite possible displacements of the artery. A local pulse wave velocity is estimated using a flow-area method, and it is then combined with the distension waveform to produce the ABP waveform. Human subject validation on seven healthy subjects shows that the bias in pulse pressure estimates across subjects is 0.47 ± 13.1 mmHg. The average root mean square deviations of the ultrasonically measured waveform across subjects is 10.1 ± 2.43 mmHg, excluding the strain phase of the Valsalva maneuver, and 17.7 ± 6.30 mmHg in all phases. The mean correlation coefficient between the ultrasonically measured and reference waveform is calculated to be 0.92 ± 0.04 across subjects. Detailed morphological features and their changes across different phases are observed as reported. This uninterrupted central ABP waveform monitoring under hemodynamics changes supports the idea of a novel stress test to evaluate the health and dynamics of the cardiovascular system at a spot check in clinical settings.

    Abstract Liver fibrosis, defined by the aberrant accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins in liver tissue due to chronic inflammation, represents a pressing global health issue. In this study, we investigated the transcriptomic signatures of three independent liver fibrosis models induced by bile duct ligation, carbon tetrachloride, and dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) to unravel the pathological mechanisms underlying hepatic fibrosis. We observed significant changes in gene expression linked to key characteristics of liver fibrosis, with a distinctive correlation to the burn-wound-healing pathway. Building on these transcriptomic insights, we further probed the p53 signaling pathways within the DMN-induced rat liver fibrosis model, utilizing western blot analysis. We observed a pronounced elevation in p53 protein levels and heightened ratios of BAX/BCL2, cleaved/pro-CASPASE-3, and cleaved/full length-PARP in the livers of DMN-exposed rats. Furthermore, we discovered that orally administering oligonol—a polyphenol, derived from lychee, with anti-oxidative properties—effectively countered the overexpressions of pivotal apoptotic genes within these fibrotic models. In conclusion, our findings offer an in-depth understanding of the molecular alterations contributing to liver fibrosis, spotlighting the essential role of the apoptosis pathway tied to the burn-wound-healing process. Most importantly, our research proposes that regulating this pathway, specifically the balance of apoptosis, could serve as a potential therapeutic approach for treating liver fibrosis.
