Background And Aim: Osteoporosis, a systemic metabolic bone disease, is characterized by the decline of bone mass and quality due to excessive osteoclast activity. Currently, drug-targeting osteoclasts show promising therapy for osteoporosis. In this study, we investigated the effect of cichoric acid (CA) on receptor activator of nuclear kappa-B ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis and the bone loss induced by ovariectomy in mice.

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) play an essential role in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis mainly characterized by excessive osteoclasts (OCs) activity. OCs are rich in mitochondria for energy support, which is a major source of total ROS. Tussilagone (TSG), a natural Sesquiterpenes from the flower of Tussilago farfara, has plentiful beneficial pharmacological characteristics with anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activity, but its effects and mechanism in osteopathology are still unclear.

Article Synopsis
  • The Chinese soft-shelled turtle is farmed in Asia for its nutritional and medicinal benefits, and understanding its gonadal differentiation is crucial for effective breeding.
  • Histomorphology studies of embryos revealed that gonads were initially undifferentiated and began showing distinct male and female characteristics from embryonic stage 15, with key genes exhibiting sex-specific expression patterns.
  • Results indicated that certain miRNAs and chromatin remodeler genes are differentially expressed in male and female gonads, which could enhance our understanding of sex differentiation and potential sex reversal in turtles.

A convenient method for the alkylation of 3-arylbenzo[]isoxazoles with maleimides under redox-neutral conditions has been developed, giving a series of substituted succinimides in up to 99% yield. This transformation is highly selective to give succinimides, and Heck-type products are successfully avoided. This protocol features 100% atom-economy and broad substrate tolerance, and provides a novel strategy for the synthesis of diverse succinimides and an opportunity for the succinylation of protein medication and for pharmacologists to discover first-in-class drugs.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the role of the Retinoid X receptor (RXR) in turtle reproduction, specifically examining the Rxrγ gene in the Chinese soft-shelled turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis).
  • Researchers cloned the full-length Rxrγ cDNA, creating a polyclonal antibody, and found that RXRγ protein is present in the turtles' mature gonads, with distinct expression patterns between sexes.
  • Through RNA interference experiments, it was confirmed that Rxrγ plays a crucial role in gonadal differentiation by affecting the expression of various genes, suggesting its involvement in reproductive development in turtles.

An efficient approach for the synthesis of N-substituted indenoisoquinolinones via rhodium(III)-catalyzed C-H bond activation/subsequent [4 + 2] cyclization starting from easily available 2-phenyloxazolines and 2-diazo-1,3-indandiones has been developed. A series of indeno[1,2-]isoquinolinones were obtained in up to 93% yield through C-H functionalization, followed by intramolecular annulation, elimination, and ring-opening in a "one pot manner" under mild reaction conditions. This protocol features excellent atom- and step-economy and provides a novel strategy for the synthesis of N-substituted indenoisoquinolinones and a chance to study their biological activities.

Objective: Preeclampsia (PE) is a maternal multisystem disease with an unclear mechanism. Data showed that MiR-95-3p promoted cell migration, invasion and proliferation, leading to the occurrence and development of many cancers, and placental trophoblasts and tumor cells had similar migration, invasion and proliferation abilities. Meanwhile we found that MiR-95-3p was differentially expressed in PE and normal placenta.

Post-menopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a common metabolic bone malady characterized by bone mass loss and bone microarchitectural deterioration; however, there is currently no effective drug for its management. According to our previous study, oroxylin A (OA) could effectively protect ovariectomized (OVX)-osteoporotic mice from bone loss; however, its therapeutic targets are still unclear. From a metabolomic perspective, we studied serum metabolic profiles to discover potential biomarkers and OVX-related metabolic networks, which could assist us to comprehend the impact of OA on OVX.

Purpose: Osteoporosis is a complication of type 2 diabetes, and it is characterized by reduced bone mass, augmented bone fragility, and increased risk of fracture, thus reducing patient quality of life, especially in the elderly. Ferroptosis has been implicated in the pathological process of type 2 diabetic osteoporosis (T2DOP), but the specific underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. This study clarified the role of activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) in T2DOP and explored its specific regulatory mechanism, providing a new treatment target for T2DOP.
