Purpose: This study was designed to examine the effect of Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA)-induced inflammation on liver P450 expression and activities in the first 7 days that followed a single FCA injection in the rat hindpaw.

Methods: Rats were humanely sacrificed at regular time points, plasma and liver samples were collected, liver mRNA extracted, and liver microsomes prepared.

Results: FCA injection led to the development of an acute inflammatory response evidenced by paw edema and increased alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) and total-nitrite (NOx) plasma concentrations. Plasma IL-6 levels were significantly higher in FCA-treated rats than in controls at 8 h post-FCA. Within 24 h, these changes were accompanied by a rapid decrease in total P450 contents in FCA-treated rat liver and the selective downregulation of specific CYP isoforms, as illustrated by decreased mRNA levels (CYP2B, CYP2CI1, CYP3A1, and CYP2E1), protein contents (CYP2B, CYP2C11, and CYP2E1) or catalytic activities (CYP2C6, CYP2C11, and CYP2E1). CYP3A1 mRNA levels were severely decreased by FCA administration, whereas CYP3A2 mRNA and protein levels remained unchanged.

Conclusions: These early biochemical and metabolic modifications may have pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic consequences when hepatically cleared drugs are administered to FCA-treated rats, especially within the first 24-72 h post-FCA.

Background: Astrocytes, the most abundant glial cell type in the brain, will convert into the reactive state in response to proteotoxic stress such as tau accumulation, a characteristic feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other tauopathies. The formation of reactive astrocytes is partially attributed to the disruption of autophagy lysosomal signaling, and inhibiting of some histone deacetylases (HDACs) has been demonstrated to reduce the molecular and functional characteristics of reactive astrocytes. However, the precise role of autophagy lysosomal signaling in astrocytes that regulates tau pathology remains unclear.

Background: Most patients with prostate cancer inevitably progress to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), at which stage chemotherapeutics like docetaxel become the first-line treatment. However, chemotherapy resistance typically develops after an initial period of therapeutic efficacy. Increasing evidence indicates that cancer stem cells confer chemotherapy resistance via exosomes.
