SIRT2 regulates high mobility group protein B1 nucleoplasmic shuttle and degradation via deacetylation in microglia.

High mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) acts as a pathogenic inflammatory response to mediate ranges of conditions such as epilepsy, septic shock, ischemia, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and mass spectrometry. HMGB1 promotes inflammation during sterile and infectious damage and plays a crucial role in disease development. Mobilization from the nucleus to the cytoplasm is the first important step in the release of HMGB1 from activated immune cells.

Contrasting nidification behaviors facilitate diversification and colonization of the Music frogs under a changing paleoclimate.

In order to cope with the complexity and variability of the terrestrial environment, amphibians have developed a wide range of reproductive and parental behaviors. Nest building occurs in some anuran species as parental care. Species of the Music frog genus Nidirana are known for their unique courtship behavior and mud nesting in several congeners.

Ubiquitinome Analysis Uncovers Alterations in Synaptic Proteins and Glucose Metabolism Enzymes in the Hippocampi of Adolescent Mice Following Cold Exposure.

Cold exposure exerts negative effects on hippocampal nerve development in adolescent mice, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Given that ubiquitination is essential for neurodevelopmental processes, we attempted to investigate the effects of cold exposure on the hippocampus from the perspective of ubiquitination. By conducting a ubiquitinome analysis, we found that cold exposure caused changes in the ubiquitination levels of a variety of synaptic-associated proteins.

Protein O-GlcNAcylation: The sweet hub in liver metabolic flexibility from a (patho)physiological perspective.

O-GlcNAcylation is a dynamic, reversible and atypical O-glycosylation that regulates various cellular physiological processes via conformation, stabilisation, localisation, chaperone interaction or activity of target proteins. The O-GlcNAcylation cycle is precisely controlled by collaboration between O-GlcNAc transferase and O-GlcNAcase. Uridine-diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine, the sole donor of O-GlcNAcylation produced by the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway, is controlled by the input of glucose, glutamine, acetyl coenzyme A and uridine triphosphate, making it a sensor of the fluctuation of molecules, making O-GlcNAcylation a pivotal nutrient sensor for the metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids, lipids and nucleotides.

O-GlcNAcylation: the "stress and nutrition receptor" in cell stress response.

O-GlcNAcylation is an atypical, reversible, and dynamic glycosylation that plays a critical role in maintaining the normal physiological functions of cells by regulating various biological processes such as signal transduction, proteasome activity, apoptosis, autophagy, transcription, and translation.

Down-regulation of miR-383-5p suppresses apoptosis in oxidative stress rat hepatocytes by targeting Bcl2.

miRNAs are a class of small non-coding RNAs that are involved in various biological processes. In the preliminary work of the laboratory, found that miR-383-5p was down-regulated in the liver tissue of acute cold stress rats and has been shown to be an important regulatory factor in tumour proliferation, but there are very few studies involving the mediation of cold stress in rat liver tissues. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of miR-383-5p on the livers of cold stress rats by simulating the cold stress state of rat liver tissues in vitro using H O to induce rat hepatocyte oxidative stress.

Oxidation Stress-Mediated MAPK Signaling Pathway Activation Induces Neuronal Loss in the CA1 and CA3 Regions of the Hippocampus of Mice Following Chronic Cold Exposure.

Chronic stress can damage homeostasis and induce various primary diseases. Although chronic cold stress is becoming an increasing problem for people who must work or live in extreme environments, risk-induced diseases in the central nervous system remain unstudied. Male C57BL/6 mice were exposed to an environment of 4 °C, 3 h per day for 1, 2, and 3 weeks and homeostasis in the hippocampus and neuronal apoptosis were evaluated by Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, TdT-mediated dUTP Nick-End Labeling (TUNEL) staining, and immunofluorescence.

Although chronic cold stress is becoming increasingly important for individuals living or working in extreme environments, the risk of associated disorders of the central nervous system remains unstudied. Here, male C57BL/6 mice were exposed to a temperature of 4 °C, for three hours each day for one, two or three weeks.

Microglia Activated by Excess Cortisol Induce HMGB1 Acetylation and Neuroinflammation in the Hippocampal DG Region of Mice Following Cold Exposure.
