Aim: To explore molecular mechanism of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) antagonization against X-ray induced L02 cells damage.
Methods: L02 liver cells were cultured in RPMI 1640, exposed to X-ray irradiation and continued to culture in the presence or absence of NADH. Cellular viability was analyzed by routine MTT methods. The percent age of apoptotic cells and positive expressions of p53, bax and bcl-2, fas, fasL proteins were determined by FCM. Level of intracellular ROS was determined by confocal microscope scanning. Morphological change was detected by scanning electron micrograph.
Results: The viability of L02 cells was decreased with increasing dose of X-ray irradiation. NADH could not only eliminate the apoptosis induced by X-ray irradiation, but also up-regulate expression of bcl-2 protein and down-regulate expression of p53, bax, fas and fasL proteins (P<0.05). At the same time, NADH could reduce level of intracellular ROS in radiated L02 cells.
Conclusion: NADH has marked anti-radiation effect, its mechanism may be associated with up-regulation of bcl-2 expression and down-regulation of p53, bax fas and fasL expression, as well as decline of intracellular ROS. However, further investigation of its mechanism is worthwhile.

Background: Acute liver injury is a common pathological feature of various clinical diseases, and prolonged liver damage can lead to fibrosis and even liver failure. Studies have reported that the vagus nerve can repair liver injury through the regulation of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. However, there is limited research on the regulation of interleukin-22 and its role in liver injury.

The biotoxicity of nanoplastics (NPs), especially from environmental sources, and "NPs carrier effect" are in the early stages of research. This study presents a machine learning-assisted "shrink-restricted" SERS strategy (SRSS) to monitor molecular changes in the cellular secretome exposure to six types of NPs. Utilizing three-dimensional (3D) Ag@hydrogel-based SRSS, active targeting of molecules within adjustable nanogaps was achieved to track information.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Xiaoyanlidan Tablet (XYLDT) is a Chinese patent medicine consisted of three traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) including Andrographis Herba (AH), Linearstripe Rabdosia Herba (LRH) and Picrasmae Ramulus et Folium (PRF). In Chinese traditional medicine theory, XYLDT has the "heat-clearing, dampness-dispelling and gallbladder function promoting" properties, and was widely used in the clinic for decades to treat pain in the subcostal region or bitter taste in the mouth, which were induced by liver-gallbladder dampness-heat. Meanwhile, it was also used for the therapy of acute cholecystitis and cholangitis.
