Article Synopsis
  • Venlafaxine (VEN) is a common medication for treating depression and anxiety and is metabolized into an active form called O-desmethyl venlafaxine (ODV) after it is processed in the liver.
  • The study aimed to create a population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model to analyze the characteristics of both VEN and ODV using data from a bioequivalence study involving healthy individuals and a larger group of psychiatric patients.
  • The PPK modeling, performed with NONMEM software, showed that the metabolism of VEN and ODV follows a one-compartment model, and identified factors like mental health status and the medication amisulpride as significant influences on how these drugs are processed in the body, potentially aiding in personalized

Oncolytic viruses (OVs) have become a category of promising anticancer immunotherapeutic agents over the last decade. However, the fact that many individuals fail to respond to OVs highlights the importance of defining the barely known immunosuppressive mechanisms that lead to treatment resistance. Here we found that the immunosuppression mediated by tumor-associated myeloid cells (TAMCs) directly quenches the antitumor effect of oncolytic virus M1 (OVM).

Emerging evidence implicates the dysregulated kynurenine pathway (KP), an immune-inflammatory pathway, in the pathophysiology of mood disorders (MD), including depression and bipolar disorder characterized by a low-grade chronic pro-inflammatory state. The metabolites of the KP, an important part of the microbiota-gut-brain axis, serve as immune system modulators linking the gut microbiota (GM) with the host central nervous system. This bibliometric analysis aimed to provide a first glimpse into the KP in MD, with a focus on GM research in this field, to guide future research and promote the development of this field.

There is a crucial link between the gut microbiota and the host central nervous system, and the communication between them occurs a bidirectional pathway termed the "microbiota-gut-brain axis." The gut microbiome in the modern environment has markedly changed in response to environmental factors. These changes may affect a broad range of host psychiatric disorders, such as depression, by interacting with the host through metabolic, immune, neural, and endocrine pathways.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a common cardiovascular disease in infants and young children, with fever, rash, and conjunctivitis as the main clinical manifestations, which can lead to the occurrence of coronary aneurysms. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is the preferred treatment for KD patients, but 10-20% of patients are resistant to IVIG. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A 2 (Lp-PLA2) is a potential therapeutic target for coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, and the polymorphism of Phospholipase A2 Group VII () is closely related to the activity of Lp-PLA2, of which rs1051931 is the strongest.

Activation of the cyclic adenosine monophosphate/protein kinase A (cAMP/PKA) pathway induces glial differentiation of glioblastoma (GBM) cells, but the mechanism by which microRNA (miRNA) regulate this process remains poorly understood. In this study, by performing miRNA genomics and loss- and gain-of-function assays in dibutyryl-cAMP-treated GBM cells, we identified a critical negative regulator, hsa-miR-1275, that modulates a set of genes involved in cancer progression, stem cell maintenance, and cell maturation and differentiation. Additionally, we confirmed that miR-1275 directly and negatively regulates the protein expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), a marker of mature astrocytes.

Oncolytic virotherapy is an emerging treatment modality that uses replication-competent viruses to destroy cancer cells. M1 is a naturally occurring alphavirus () which shows potent oncolytic activities against many cancers. Accumulation of unfolded proteins during virus replication leads to a transcriptional/translational response known as the unfolded protein response (UPR), which might counteract the antitumor effect of the oncolytic virus.
