Retinoic acid signaling regulates astrocyte reactivity by modulating MAPK/NF-κB pathways and mitochondrial integrity. (PubMed, Neurochem Int)
These observations coincided with the restoration of mitochondrial integrity and mitophagy. Taken together, these findings identify RA metabolism as a key regulatory node in astrocyte reactivity and suggest a potential therapeutic role for RA in neuroinflammatory conditions.

Neobavaisoflavone, a functional metabolite derived from valnemulin, ameliorates DSS-induced ulcerative colitis through activation of the AMPK signaling pathway. (PubMed, Biochem Pharmacol)
Concomitantly, NBIF also reduces levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6, thereby attenuating DSS-induced pathological damage in UC. This study not only proposes a novel anti-senescence strategy for UC treatment but also elucidates the pivotal role of the gut microbiota-metabolite-AMPK axis in regulating intestinal inflammation.

Oxycodone induces HMGB1-mediated neuroimmune crosstalk between oligodendrocytes and microglia. (PubMed, Neuroscience)
Collectively, we show OLs as an unrecognized source of HMGB1 during oxycodone exposure and establish a novel OL-microglia signaling axis underlying neuroinflammation. These insights emphasize the importance of glial crosstalk in opioid-related pathologies and may inform therapeutic strategies targeting HMGB1 signaling.

Oncostatin M-induced ABCC2 suppression sensitizes hepatocellular carcinoma cells to chemotherapeutics. (PubMed, Biomed Pharmacother)
The aim of this study was to determine the role and effect of OSM on the expression and activity of ABCC2 (cMOAT), an ABC transporter, in a hepatocellular carcinoma line (Hep G2) as an model. Our results suggest that this cytokine reduces expression of ABCC2 which may have potent consequences for the biliary transport.

Formulation and evaluation of hydrogel based on Brazilian propolis ethanol extract for promoting diabetic wound healing. (PubMed, BMC Biotechnol)
Additionally, EEP/PS exhibits an excellent hemostasis capacity and bio-compatibility, critical for clinical translation. Collectively, these findings highlight the translational potential of EEP/PS as a multifunctional biomaterial for diabetic wound care.

Banxia Xiexin Decoction alleviates N-Methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine-induced gastric precancerous lesions by modulating the gastric microbiota. (PubMed, J Ethnopharmacol)
BXD intervention demonstrated significant therapeutic effects in GPL mice. The underlying mechanisms are associated with the restoration of gastric microbiota dysbiosis, promotion of beneficial bacterial growth, suppression of potential pathogens, modulation of the inflammatory response, and alleviation of mucosal damage.

Sex-specific influences of prenatal inflammation on offspring psychological symptoms in late midlife. (PubMed, Psychoneuroendocrinology)
These findings show timing- and sex-specific relationships between PNMI and offspring psychological symptom domains in late midlife and further clarify the impact of PNMI on psychopathology at later stages of life.

A key component fumarine of Sijunzi decoction induces necroptosis in clear cell renal cell carcinoma potentially via targeting SLC6A3, OPRD1 and KDR. (PubMed, Biochem Biophys Res Commun)
Mechanistically, fumarine triggers this process by binding to SLC6A3, OPR1 and KDR and upregulating inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF, leading to the activation of the necroptotic pathway and subsequent inhibition of tumor growth. Our findings not only elucidate the key material basis and mechanism of SJZ against ccRCC but also highlight fumarine as a promising novel necroptosis-inducing agent for cancer therapy.

Immunomodulatory Effects of Medicinal Mushroom Extracts in the Sensitized Human Keratinocyte Cell Line NCTC2544. (PubMed, Int J Med Mushrooms)
Furthermore, their immunomodulatory effects on cytokine production indicate a promising role in alleviating diseases associated with chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction. In conclusion, xLrŴ and xOsTM may have therapeutic potential as immunomodulatory agents for treating CD.

High Fat Diet and Obesity Each Increase Tumor Cell Proliferation and Muscle Wasting in Experimental Cancer Cachexia. (PubMed, Am J Physiol Cell Physiol)
Thus, HFD and pre-existing obesity each separately enhance inflammation, cachexia, and tumor growth. These distinct contributions of HFD and chronic adiposity are potential therapeutic targets to slow cachexia and tumor growth in cancer.

JJWT promotes antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity for diabetic wound healing through the PI3K/akt signaling pathway. (PubMed, Cutan Ocul Toxicol)
Both groups showed a great decrease in TNF-α and IL-6 levels post-treatment (P < 0.05), with TG demonstrating lower levels of TNF-α, IL-6, PI3K, and AKT proteins relative to CG (P < 0.05). JJWT effectively reduced microbial colony counts in diabetic foot patients, markedly suppressed the expression of TNF-α and IL-6, and enhanced wound healing by modulating PI3K/Akt SPW, indicating strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of Jiangjunsan.
