5-Hydroxymethylfurfural induces mice frailty through cell senescence-associated sarcopenia caused by chronic inflammation.

Objective: 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) is an important component of air pollution, confirmed to be a risk factor for pulmonary inflammation. However, its association with general health is unknown. This article aimed to clarify the effect and mechanism of 5-HMF in the occurrence and aggravation of frailty in mice by investigating whether exposure to 5-HMF was linked to the occurrence and aggravation of mice frailty.

Integrated Analysis Identifies Four Genes as Novel Diagnostic Biomarkers Which Correlate with Immune Infiltration in Preeclampsia.

Preeclampsia remains a high cause of incidence and death for mothers and fetuses in developing nations. Preeclampsia has numerous clinical and biochemical markers that have been tested, but they have failed to provide a conclusive diagnosis in the different phases of the disease's progression. Herein, our team intended to determine potential diagnostic biomarkers for preeclampsia and analyzed associations with immune cells.

CYP2C9, a Metabolic CYP450s Enzyme, Plays Critical Roles in Activating Ellagic Acid in Human Intestinal Epithelial Cells.

BACKGROUND The metabolic processing of ellagic acid (EA) by cytochrome P450s (CYP450s) expressed in the intestines is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of CYP450s that are highly expressed in HIEC cells on metabolic activity of EA. MATERIAL AND METHODS HIEC cell models expressing 2B6, 2C9, 2D6, and 3A4 were generated by stably transfecting with CYP450 genes using a lentivirus system.

Phenylpropanoid Glycosides from the Leaves of Ananas comosus.

Two new phenylpropanoid glycosides, named β-D-(1-O-acetyl-3,6-O-diferuloyl) fructofuranosyl β-D-6'-O-acetylglucopyranoside (1) and β-D-(1-O-acetyl-3,6-O-diferuloyl) fructofuranosyl α-D-glucopyranoside (2), along with two known analogues (3-4) and four glycerides (5-8), were isolated from the EtOAc extract of the leaves of Ananas comosus. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D- and 2D-NMR analyses, as well as HR-ESI-MS experiments. Compounds 1-4 showed significant antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
