Sirtuin 5-Mediated Desuccinylation of ALDH2 Alleviates Mitochondrial Oxidative Stress Following Acetaminophen-Induced Acute Liver Injury.

Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose is a major cause of drug-induced liver injury. Sirtuins 5 (SIRT5) has been implicated in the development of various liver diseases. However, its involvement in APAP-induced acute liver injury (AILI) remains unclear.

Nepetoidin B Alleviates Liver Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury via Regulating MKP5 and JNK/P38 Pathway.

Background: Nepetoidin B (NB) has been reported to possess anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. However, its effects on liver ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury remain unclear.

Methods: In this study, a mouse liver I/R injury model and a mouse AML12 cell hypoxia reoxygenation (H/R) injury model were used to investigate the potential role of NB.

6-Gingerol attenuates hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury through regulating MKP5-mediated P38/JNK pathway.

6-Gingerol, the main bioactive compound of ginger, has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and neuroprotective effects. However, it is unclear whether 6-Gingerol has protective effects against hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. In this study, the mouse liver I/R injury model and the mouse AML12 cell hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model were established by pretreatment with 6-Gingerol at different concentrations to explore the potential effects of 6-Gingerol.

Histone deacetylase 6 deficiency protects the liver against ischemia/reperfusion injury by activating PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling.

Liver transplantation (LT) is the only effective method to treat end-stage liver disease. Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) continues to limit the prognosis of patients receiving LT. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is a unique HDAC member involved in inflammation and apoptosis.

Sirtuin4 alleviates severe acute pancreatitis by regulating HIF-1α/HO-1 mediated ferroptosis.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common emergency of the digestive system and serious cases can develop into severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), which ortality rates up to 30%. Sirtuin4 (SIRT4) is a member of the sirtuin family, and plays a key role in inflammation and oxidative stress. However, the potential role of SIRT4 in SAP has yet to be elucidated.

[Predictive value of serum chlorine and interleukin-6 combined with coagulation indexes on severity of severe acute pancreatitis].

Objective: To explore the predictive value of combined detection of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), chloride (Cl), D-dimer and fibrin degradation products (FDP) for severity of acute pancreatitis (AP).

Methods: From December 2020 to March 2022, 132 AP patients who met the criteria for inclusion were screened for retrospective analysis from 292 AP patients admitted in emergency surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University and they were divided into severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) group and non-SAP group, with 63 in SAP group and 69 in non-SAP group, according to classification criteria. The data including lab results, abdominal doppler ultrasound and chest and abdominal CT, etc.

Thioredoxin-interacting protein deficiency protects against severe acute pancreatitis by suppressing apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1.

Acute pancreatitis is a common acute inflammatory abdominal disease. When acute pancreatitis progresses to severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), it can lead to systemic inflammation and even multiple organ failure. Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) is an important protein involved in redox reactions of the inflammatory response.

Inhibition of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) suppresses apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 to protect against liver ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a major complication leading to surgical failures in liver resection, transplantation, and hemorrhagic shock. The role of cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in hepatic I/R injury is unclear. We examined changes of MIF expression in mice after hepatic I/R surgery and hepatocytes challenged with hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) insult.

Galangin ameliorates severe acute pancreatitis in mice by activating the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase 1 pathway.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common serious acute condition of the digestive system that remains a clinical challenge. Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in particular is characterized by high morbidity and mortality. The present study was designed to investigate the protective effect of Galangin (Gal), a natural flavonol obtained from lesser galangal, on L-arginine-induced SAP in mice and in AR42J cells.
