Piezo1 overexpression in the uterus contributes to myometrium contraction and inflammation-associated preterm birth.

J Transl Med

December 2024

Department of Anesthesiology, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, No. 20, Section 3, South of Renmin Road, Chengdu, 610041, Sichuan, China.

Background: Preterm birth, a leading cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity, is often associated with inflammation and aberrant myometrial contractions. This study investigates the role of Piezo1, a mechanosensitive ion channel, in myometrium contraction and inflammation-associated preterm birth.

Methods: We employed Western blotting, Immunofluorescence, and Quantitative real-time PCR techniques to examine Piezo1 expression in uterine tissues.

With increasing regulations restricting antibiotic use in animal feed, the need for alternative strategies to prevent and manage necrotic enteritis (NE) has become imperative. As a result, developing effective vaccines has emerged as a top priority for broiler chicken health management. Coccidial infections are a well-established predisposing factor for NE, underscoring the importance of controlling coccidiosis to help mitigate NE outbreaks.

is a fungal pathobiont colonizing mucosal surfaces of the human body, including the oral cavity. Under certain predisposing conditions, invades mucosal tissues activating EGFR-MAPK signalling pathways in epithelial cells via the action of its peptide toxin candidalysin. However, our knowledge of the epithelial mechanisms involved during colonization is rudimentary.

Article Synopsis
  • * The impact of environmental changes, like rising temperatures and pollution, can worsen disease conditions in aquaculture by enhancing pathogen virulence.
  • * New technologies and biotechnological tools, such as probiotics and metagenomics, are being developed to improve sustainability in aquaculture while reducing the need for antibiotics and better understanding disease mechanisms.

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a necessary lifesaving intervention for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) but it can cause ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), which contributes to the high ARDS mortality rate (∼40%). Bedside determination of optimally lung-protective ventilation settings is challenging because the evolution of VILI is not immediately reflected in clinically available, patient-level, data. The goal of this work was therefore to test ventilation waveform-derived parameters that represent the degree of ongoing VILI and can serve as targets for ventilator adjustments.
