Nuclear factor of the Immunoglobulin Kappa chain of B cells (NF-kappaB) activation is an early event during cytokine-mediated endothelial activation related to increased adhesion of leucocytes. We report that soluble products secreted by two human lymphomas activate NF-kappaB, and increase the ability of endothelial cells to adhere U937 cells in vitro. Analysis of the tumor-derived products revealed the absence of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1beta. Interference of NF-kappaB activation prevented the increase in U937 cell adhesion, suggesting a potential role for endothelial NF-kappaB activation in the establishment of physical interactions between the vascular endothelium and tumor cells.

Chrysoeriol: a natural RANKL inhibitor targeting osteoclastogenesis and ROS regulation for osteoporosis therapy.

Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol

January 2025

The Key Laboratory of Spine and Spinal Cord Disease of Jiangxi Province, Nanchang, 330006, China.

Chrysoeriol (CHE) is a naturally occurring compound with established anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects. This study examines its potential role in regulating osteoclast differentiation and activity, both of which are crucial for bone remodeling. Computational docking revealed high binding affinity between CHE and RANKL, specifically at the Lys-181 residue of RANKL, suggesting potential inhibitory interactions on osteoclastogenesis.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), a highly aggressive form of cancer, is known for its high mortality rate. A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease Domain-like Protein Decysin-1 (ADAMDEC1) can promote the development and metastasis in various tumors by degrading the extracellular matrix. However, its regulatory mechanism in CCA remains unclear.

Probiotics are widely used for their health promoting effects, though a lot remain to be discovered, particularly on their mechanisms of action at the molecular level. The functional genomic approach is an appropriate method to decipher how probiotics may influence human cell fate and therefore contribute to their health benefit. In the present work, we focused on Shouchella clausii (formerly named Bacillus then Alkalihalobacillus clausii), a spore-forming bacterium that is commercially available as a probiotic for the prevention and the treatment of intestinal dysbiosis and related gastrointestinal disorders, such as diarrhoea.

Role of COL5A1 in lung squamous cell Carcinoma: Prognostic Implications and therapeutic potential.

Int Immunopharmacol

January 2025

Department of Molecular Pathology, The Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Henan Cancer Hospital, Zhengzhou, Henan, China; Henan Key Laboratory of Molecular Pathology, Zhengzhou, Henan, China. Electronic address:

Background: Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is a significant health concern, characterized by a lack of specific therapies and limited treatment options for patients in advanced stages. This study aims to identify key molecules of prognostic importance in LUSC and provide an experimental foundation for their potential therapeutic applications.

Methods: Immune-related transcriptome expression analysis was performed on LUSC samples using the NanoString digital gene analysis system to develop a prognostic transcriptomic signature.

Cucurbitacin IIb mitigates concanavalin A-induced acute liver injury by suppressing M1 macrophage polarization.

Int Immunopharmacol

January 2025

Institute of Immunology and Molecular Medicine, Jining Medical University, Jining 272067, China. Electronic address:

Cucurbitacins are a class of triterpenoid compounds extracted from plants and possess various pharmacological applications. Cucurbitacin IIb (CuIIb), extracted from the medicinal plant Hemsleya amabilis (Cucurbitaceae), has served as a traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of bacterial dysentery and intestinal inflammation. CuIIb has been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory activity; however, the protective effect of CuIIb against concanavalin A (Con A)-induced acute liver injury (ALI) and the fundamental mechanism remain unelucidated.
