Redesigning Berberines and Sanguinarines to Target Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase for Enhanced Anti-Inflammatory Efficacy.

Amino-berberine has remained underexplored due to limited biological evaluation and total synthesis approaches. In inflammation therapy, soluble Epoxide Hydrolase (sEH) is a promising target, yet natural scaffolds remain underutilized. Our study advances the field by redesigning natural compounds─berberine and sanguinarine─with strategic urea modifications and hydrogenated frameworks, creating novel sEH inhibitors with enhanced efficacy.

Discovery of glycosidated glycyrrhetinic acid derivatives: Natural product-based soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors.

There are few reports on soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) structure-activity relationship studies using natural product-based scaffolds. In this study, we discovered that C-30 urea derivatives of glycyrrhetinic acid such as 33, rather than C-20/C-3 urea derivatives, possess in vitro sEH inhibitory capabilities. Furthermore, we explored the impact of stereoconfigurations at C-3 and C-18 positions, and glycosidic bonds at the 3-OH on the compound's activity.

Discovery of a novel lead characterized by a stilbene-extended scaffold against sepsis as soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors.

Recently, some inhibitors of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) showed limited potential in treating sepsis by increasing survival time, but they have unfortunately failed to improve survival rates. In this study, we initially identified a new hit 11D, belonging to a natural skeleton known as stilbene and having an IC of 644 nM on inhibiting murine sEH. Natural scaffold-based sEH inhibitors are paid less attention.

Enhancing HIF-1α-P2X2 signaling in dorsal raphe serotonergic neurons promotes psychological resilience.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a devastating condition. Although progress has been made in the past seven decades, patients with MDD continue to receive an inadequate treatment, primarily due to the late onset of first-line antidepressant drugs and to their acute withdrawal symptoms. Resilience is the ability to rebound from adversity in a healthy manner and many people have psychological resilience.

Intermittent Hypobaric Hypoxia Ameliorates Autistic-Like Phenotypes in Mice.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent deficits in social communication and stereotyped behaviors. Although major advances in basic research on autism have been achieved in the past decade, and behavioral interventions can mitigate the difficulties that individuals with autism experience, little is known about the many fundamental issues of the interventions, and no specific medication has demonstrated efficiency for the core symptoms of ASD. Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH) is characterized by repeated exposure to lowered atmospheric pressure and oxygen levels, which triggers multiple physiological adaptations in the body.

Hepatic soluble epoxide hydrolase activity regulates cerebral Aβ metabolism and the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease in mice.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is caused by a complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors. However, how the role of peripheral organ changes in response to environmental stimuli during aging in AD pathogenesis remains unknown. Hepatic soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) activity increases with age.

A thalamic-primary auditory cortex circuit mediates resilience to stress.

Resilience enables mental elasticity in individuals when rebounding from adversity. In this study, we identified a microcircuit and relevant molecular adaptations that play a role in natural resilience. We found that activation of parvalbumin (PV) interneurons in the primary auditory cortex (A1) by thalamic inputs from the ipsilateral medial geniculate body (MG) is essential for resilience in mice exposed to chronic social defeat stress.

Loss of schizophrenia-related miR-501-3p in mice impairs sociability and memory by enhancing mGluR5-mediated glutamatergic transmission.

Schizophrenia is a polygenetic disease, the heterogeneity of which is likely complicated by epigenetic modifications yet to be elucidated. Here, we performed transcriptomic analysis of peripheral blood RNA from monozygotic twins discordant for schizophrenia and identified a schizophrenia-associated down-regulated microRNA, miR-501-3p. We showed that the loss of miR-501-3p in germline knockout (KO) male mice resulted in dendritic structure defects, glutamatergic transmission enhancement, and sociability, memory, and sensorimotor gating disruptions, which were attenuated when miR-501 expression was conditionally restored in the nervous system.

A hippocampus dependent neural circuit loop underlying the generation of auditory mismatch negativity.

Extracting relevant information and transforming it into appropriate behavior, is a fundamental brain function, and requires the coordination between the sensory and cognitive systems, however, the underlying mechanisms of interplay between sensory and cognition systems remain largely unknown. Here, we developed a mouse model for mimicking human auditory mismatch negativity (MMN), a well-characterized translational biomarker for schizophrenia, and an index of early auditory information processing. We found that a subanesthetic dose of ketamine decreased the amplitude of MMN in adult mice.

Decreasing hyaluronic acid combined with drug-loaded nanoprobes improve the delivery and efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs for pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the common malignant tumors of the digestive system, and its clinical treatment is still very challenging. Most of the pancreatic cancer chemotherapeutic drugs have poor plasma stability, low cell uptake efficiency, and are prone to developing drug resistance and toxic side effects. Besides, pancreatic cancer often has a dense extracellular matrix, which consists of collagens, hyaluronic acid, and other proteoglycans.

The Ghrelin/Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor System Is Involved in the Rapid and Sustained Antidepressant-Like Effect of Paeoniflorin.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a debilitating mental illness affecting people worldwide. Although significant progress has been made in the development of therapeutic agents to treat this condition, fewer than half of all patients respond to currently available antidepressants, highlighting the urgent need for the development of new classes of antidepressant drugs. Here, we found that paeoniflorin (PF) produced rapid and sustained antidepressant-like effects in multiple mouse models of depression, including the forced swimming test and exposure to chronic mild stress (CMS).

Acute EPA-induced learning and memory impairment in mice is prevented by DHA.

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3 fatty acid, has been widely used to prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD) and treat brain diseases alone or in combination with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). However, the impact of EPA and DHA supplementation on normal cognitive function and the molecular targets of EPA and DHA are still unknown. We show that acute administration of EPA impairs learning and memory and hippocampal LTP in adult and prepubescent mice.

LncRNA-AC006129.1 reactivates a SOCS3-mediated anti-inflammatory response through DNA methylation-mediated CIC downregulation in schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia is a complex genetic disorder, the non-Mendelian features of which are likely complicated by epigenetic factors yet to be elucidated. Here, we performed RNA sequencing of peripheral blood RNA from monozygotic twins discordant for schizophrenia, and identified a schizophrenia-associated upregulated long noncoding RNA (lncRNA, AC006129.1) that participates in the inflammatory response by enhancing SOCS3 and CASP1 expression in schizophrenia patients and further validated this finding in AC006129.

Liver Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Regulates Behavioral and Cellular Effects of Chronic Stress.

Major depression is a serious global health concern; however, the pathophysiology underlying this condition remains unclear. While numerous studies have focused on brain-specific mechanisms, few have evaluated the role of peripheral organs in depression. Here, we show that the liver activates an intrinsic metabolic pathway that can modulate depressive-like behavior.

Axonal iron transport in the brain modulates anxiety-related behaviors.

Iron is essential for a broad range of biochemical processes in the brain, but the mechanisms of iron metabolism in the brain remain elusive. Here we show that iron functionally translocates among brain regions along specific axonal projections. We identified two pathways for iron transport in the brain: a pathway from ventral hippocampus (vHip) to medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) to substantia nigra; and a pathway from thalamus (Tha) to amygdala (AMG) to mPFC.

The method showed excellent linearity for all analytes, with regression coefficients higher than 0.

Advances in the mechanisms of action of cancer-targeting oncolytic viruses.

Cancer virotherapy mediated by oncolytic viruses (OV), has emerged as a novel and effective strategy in cancer therapeutics. Preclinical models have demonstrated anticancer activity against numerous types of cancer. Currently, a number of recombinant viruses are in late phase clinical trials, many of which have demonstrated promising results regarding the safety and reliability of the treatments, particularly when combined with standard antineoplastic therapies.

A negative feedback regulation of MTORC1 activity by the lysosomal Ca channel MCOLN1 (mucolipin 1) using a CALM (calmodulin)-dependent mechanism.

Macroautophagy/autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved pathway that is required for cellular homeostasis, growth and survival. The lysosome plays an essential role in autophagy regulation. For example, the activity of MTORC1, a master regulator of autophagy, is regulated by nutrients within the lysosome.

α2-glycine receptors modulate adult hippocampal neurogenesis and spatial memory.

The α2-glycine receptors (GlyRs) play important roles during early central nervous system development. However, these receptors' possible involvement in neurodevelopmental events occurring in the adult brain remains to be explored. Adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) is the process by which new granule cell neurons are added to the dentate gyrus (DG) throughout adulthood.
