Amodiaquine ameliorates stress-induced premature cellular senescence via promoting SIRT1-mediated HR repair.

DNA damage is considered to be a potentially unifying driver of ageing, and the stalling of DNA damage repair accelerates the cellular senescence. However, augmenting DNA repair has remained a great challenge due to the intricate repair mechanisms specific for multiple types of lesions. Herein, we miniaturized our modified detecting system for homologous recombination (HR) into a 96-well-based platform and performed a high-throughput chemical screen for FDA-approved drugs.

Discovery of novel chrysin derivatives as potential Anti-Psoriasis agents.

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease and is difficult to cure. In this work, a series of novel chrysin derivatives have been designed and prepared while evaluating anti-inflammatory activities in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, RAW264.

Bleomycin induces senescence and repression of DNA repair via downregulation of Rad51.

Background: Bleomycin, a potent antitumor agent, is limited in clinical use due to the potential for fatal pulmonary toxicity. The accelerated DNA damage and senescence in alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) is considered a key factor in the development of lung pathology. Understanding the mechanisms for bleomycin-induced lung injury is crucial for mitigating its adverse effects.

Cang-ai volatile oil ameliorates imiquimod-induced psoriatic skin lesions by suppressing the ILC3s.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Cang-ai volatile oil (CAVO) is an aromatic Chinese medicine with potent antibacterial and immune regulatory properties. While CAVO has been used to treat upper respiratory tract infections, depression, otomycosis, and bacterial infections in the skin, its effect on psoriasis is unknown.

Aim Of The Study: This study explores the effect and mechanism of CAVO in psoriasis intervention.

Extracts from Wolff attenuate imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like inflammation by inhibiting Th17 cells.

Objective: Wolff extracts (SMWE) are widely used to treat psoriasis as a Chinese medicine, but their effect and mechanism are unclear. This study verified the effect of SMWE on psoriasis by regulating Th17 cells.

Methods: HaCaT cells were treated with IL-17A i to evaluate the effect of SMWE on psoriasis.

Flavonoids from Scutellaria amoena C. H. Wright alleviate mitochondrial dysfunction and regulate oxidative stress via Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 axis in rats with high-fat diet-induced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

Background: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is among the most common liver diseases in the world. Flavonoids from Scutellaria amoena (SAF) are used in the treatment of hepatopathy in China. However, the effect and mechanism against NASH remain unclear.

[Distribution of hydrogen and oxygen stable isotope of water in soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC)system of a typical forest area].

Water cycle in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC) is an important research topic in hydrology and ecology. The differences in the composition of hydrogen and oxygen stable isotopes in different water bodies can indicate water cycle process. Based on the measurements of isotopic compositions in precipitation, soil water, and plant water, we analyzed water isotope evolution in a SPAC system located in a subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest in Chengdu Plain.
