Article Synopsis
  • Rutin is a flavonoid with potential benefits for treating Alzheimer's, preventing brain damage, and combating glioblastoma, but its therapeutic use is hindered by poor solubility and limited ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
  • A new delivery system called transferrin-modified Rutin liposomes (Tf-Rutin-Lip) was developed to enhance Rutin's bioavailability and brain-targeting efficiency by incorporating transferrin into liposomes.
  • Experimental results showed that Tf-Rutin-Lip liposomes can cross the BBB without damaging brain cells, demonstrating improved pharmacokinetic properties compared to standard Rutin, thus highlighting their potential as a therapeutic strategy.

Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common malignancies in women and the leading cause of cancer-related death in women. The newly emerged non-coding RNAs tsRNAs (tRNA-derived small RNAs) play an important role in the occurrence and development of BC. The purpose of this study was to comprehensively evaluate the prognostic, diagnostic and clinicopathological roles of tsRNAs in BC.

  • ACMP (Asparagus cochinchinensis polysaccharide) enhances the non-specific immune response of macrophages but its role in innate immune memory and histone modification hasn't been explored until now.
  • The study investigates how ACMP affects macrophages by co-incubating it with RAW264.7 and BMDM cells, focusing on pattern recognition receptors (PRR) and changes in signaling pathways.
  • Results show that ACMP activates the TLR4-MAPK signaling pathway, increases histone modifications (H3K4me1), and boosts immune-related gene responses, indicating that ACMP can induce innate immune memory in macrophages.

rhoptry protein has the properties of a protective antigen. ROP27 is a pathogenic gene that is detected via a transcriptome, but its expression pattern, immunogenicity, and potency are unknown. Therefore, a gene segment of ROP27 was amplified and transplanted into the pET28a prokaryotic vector for the expression of the recombinant protein, and it subsequently purified for the generation of a polyclonal antibody.

Water quality regulation is widely recognized as a highly effective strategy for disease prevention in the field of aquaculture, and it holds significant potential for the development of sustainable aquaculture. Herein, four water quality regulators, including potassium monopersulfate (KMPS), tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate (THPS), bacillus subtilis (BS), and chitosan (CS), were added to the culture water of Oreochromis niloticus (GIFT tilapia) every seven days. Subsequently, the effects of these four water quality regulators on GIFT tilapia were comprehensively evaluated by measuring the water quality index of daily growth-related performance and immune indexes of GIFT tilapia.

Article Synopsis
  • - Ammonia and nitrite stress can weaken the immune system and cause oxidative stress, but treatment with Tian-Dong-Tang-Gan Powder (TDTGP) may enhance immunity and resistance to these stresses.
  • - A study fed 3,000 subjects varying doses of TDTGP for 35 days, then exposed them to ammonia and nitrite for 72 hours while analyzing gene expression and gut microbiota changes.
  • - TDTGP treatment increased the expression of genes linked to immunity and antioxidants, reduced harmful gut bacteria, and helped maintain a healthier gut microbiota balance, mitigating the negative effects of ammonia and nitrite stress.

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the main pathogen causing porcine circovirus-associated diseases (PCVD/PCVADs), and infection of the host induces immunosuppression. Since quercitrin (QUE) has anti-inflammatory and antiviral activity, it is worth exploiting in animal diseases. In this study, the interventional effects and the molecular mechanism of QUE on PCV2-induced oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in 3D4/2 cells and the modulation of histone acetylation modifications were investigated.

Quercitrin is a kind of flavonoid that is found in many plants; it has good antioxidant activity, and can regulate oxidative stress induced by Pseudorabies virus (PRV)-infected cells. In this study, the secretion of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by PRV infection was detected by flow cytometry, and RNA expression profiles of the 3D4/2 cells were produced and analyzed by sequenced GO (Gene Ontology) and KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes); the sequencing results were verified by RT-qCR. The results showed that the secretion of ROS induced by PRV infection in 3D4/2 cells could be significantly decreased by quercitrin.

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) exists widely in swine populations worldwide, and healthy PCV2 virus carriers have enhanced the severity of the infection, which is becoming more difficult to control. This study investigated the regulatory effect of Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) on the oxidative stress and histone acetylation modification induced by PCV2 in vitro and in mice. In vitro, PNS significantly increased the scavenging capacities of superoxide anion radicals (O) and hydroxyl radicals (OH) and reduced the content of hydrogen peroxide (HO) induced by PCV2 in porcine alveolar macrophages (3D4/2).

To investigate the structure of polysaccharide (PAP) (intracellular polysaccharide) and the antioxidant activity of the first component of PAP (PAP-1) on pseudorabies virus (PRV) -infected RAW264.7 cells. The PAP was separated and purified by the Cellulose DE-52 chromatography column and Sephacryl S-200 high-resolution gel column to obtain PAP-1.

  • PCV2 is a virus that makes pigs sick and causes big money losses for farmers, so scientists are trying to find treatments.
  • Researchers studied a natural medicine called Sophora subprostrate polysaccharide (SSP) to see if it could help reduce inflammation caused by PCV2.
  • They found that SSP helped lower harmful substances from the body's immune response and changed how certain genes were activated, which suggests it could be a good way to fight the virus in pigs.

Astroviruses (AstVs) are major causative agents of gastroenteritis and have been detected worldwide. Little is known about the prevalence of neurotropic AstVs in Chinese water buffaloes, but a novel species which is associated with encephalitis and meningitis has recently been found. In this study, based on nested RT-PCR, rapid amplification of the 3'-cDNA end (3'-RACE) and next-generation sequencing (NGS), we examined the infection of AstVs in water buffaloes in the Guangxi Province of China.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how Sophorasubprosrate polysaccharide (SSP) affects the inflammatory response and histone acetylation in RAW264.7 cells infected with porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2).
  • Results showed that SSP lowers pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6) while increasing anti-inflammatory IL-10, indicating its potential to reduce inflammation.
  • The findings also revealed that SSP influences histone modifications by enhancing the activity of certain enzymes (HAT and HDAC) and altering the signaling pathways (NF-κB/MAPKs/c-Jun), linking traditional Chinese medicine to the regulation of inflammation at a molecular level.

Article Synopsis
  • The study looked at how Sophora subprosrate polysaccharide can help reduce inflammation caused by a virus called PCV2 in pig cells.
  • It found that when the pig cells were treated with this polysaccharide, the levels of certain inflammation-causing substances went down while one helpful substance increased.
  • The study suggests that this polysaccharide works by changing how certain proteins (histones) are modified, which helps to calm down the inflammation and stops a part of the immune response from getting too active.
