AI Article Synopsis

  • The study identified the transient receptor potential channel mTRP5 as a potential candidate for the nonselective cation channel (NSCC) activated by carbachol (CCh) in the murine stomach through RT-PCR and electrophysiological methods.
  • All seven types of TRP mRNA were found in the murine stomach, with mTRP5 showing a conductance order similar to the NSCC observed in gastric myocytes.
  • Both mTRP5 and the native NSCC exhibited unique activation properties and were inhibited by various blockers, indicating mTRP5's significant role in the mechanism of acetylcholine or CCh-induced activation in the murine stomach.

Article Abstract

We investigated which transient receptor potential (TRP) channel is responsible for the nonselective cation channel (NSCC) activated by carbachol (CCh) in murine stomach with RT-PCR and the electrophysiological method. All seven types of TRP mRNA were detected in murine stomach with RT-PCR. When each TRP channel was expressed, the current-voltage relationship of mTRP5 was most similar to that recorded in murine gastric myocytes. mTRP5 showed a conductance order of Cs(+) > K(+) > Na(+), similar to that in the murine stomach. With 0.2 mM GTPgammaS in the pipette solution, the current was activated transiently in both NSCC in the murine stomach and the expressed mTRP5. Both NSCC activated by CCh in murine stomach and mTRP5 were inhibited by intracellularly applied anti-G(q/11) antibody, PLC inhibitor U-73122, IICR inhibitor 2-aminoethoxydiphenylborate, and nonspecific cation channel blockers La(3+) and flufenamate. There were two other unique properties. Both the native NSCC and mTRP5 were activated by 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol. Without the activation of NSCC by CCh, the NSCC in murine stomach was constitutively active like mTRP5. From the above results, we suggest that mTRP5 might be a candidate for the NSCC activated by ACh or CCh in murine stomach.

Optical imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) holds great promise for biomedical detection due to reduced tissue scattering and autofluorescence. However, the rational design of NIR-II probes with superior excitation wavelengths to balance the effects of tissue scattering and water absorption remains a great challenge. To address this issue, here we developed a series of Ho-sensitized lanthanide (Ln) nanocrystals (NaYF: Ho, Ln@NaYF) excited at 1143 nm, featuring tunable emissions ranging from 1000 to 2200 nm for bioimaging.

Background: Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), particularly M2-polarized TAMs, are significant contributors to tumor progression, immune evasion, and therapy resistance in gastric cancer (GC). Despite efforts to target TAM recruitment or depletion, clinical efficacy remains limited. Consequently, the identification of targets that specifically inhibit or reprogram M2-polarized TAMs presents a promising therapeutic strategy.

We aimed to explore the role of circular RNA 0043256 (circ_0043256) in gastric cancer (GC) and its underlying mechanisms. The impact of circ_0043256 silencing on the proliferation, migration, apoptosis, and aerobic glycolysis of MKN-45 and AGS cells induced by CoCl2 was assessed through the utilization of CCK-8, wound healing assay, flow cytometry, and metabolic analysis. The interaction between circ_0043256 and miR-593-5p, as well as the involvement of the miR-593-5p/RRM2 axis in gastric cancer, were confirmed via luciferase assay, Western blot, and bioinformatics analysis.

Lnc-CHAF1B-2, a newly discovered long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), plays a significant role in the evolution and prognosis of diverse neoplasms. However, its role in the development of gastric cancer is not yet fully understood. Using bioinformatics analysis of gastric cancer RNA-seq data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, we investigated the expression of lnc-CHAF1B-2 in gastric carcinoma and its associated molecular signalling pathways.

The present study aimed to unveil the gastroprotective potential of Vaccinium macrocarpon (VM) extract and its mechanism of action against indomethacin (INDO)-induced gastric ulcers in rats. To achieve this goal, rats were pretreated with either omeprazole (20 mg/kg) or VM (100 mg/kg) orally for 14 consecutive days. Gastric tissue samples were collected and various parameters were evaluated to understand the mechanism of VM's action, including the levels of superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, glutathione, CAT and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), as well as the mRNA expression levels of tumour necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 1 beta, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and inhibitor kappa B (IκB).
