The level of natural apoptosis in rat thymus on day 18 of embryo development attained 25%, while at subsequent terms it was about 5%. In the spleen, this parameter gradually decreased from 15 to 37% starting from day 18 of embryo development to postnatal day 30. Tactivin prevented the development of dexamethasone-induced apoptosis in thymocytes of 30-day-old rats, but had no effect on spontaneous apoptosis. Tactivin can be used as a modulator of apoptotic processes.

HDAC1 overexpression inhibits steroid-induced apoptosis of mouse osteocyte-like MLO-Y4 cells by inducing SP1 deacetylation.

Objectives: To explore the mechanism by which histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) regulates steroid-induced apoptosis of mouse osteocyte-like MLO-Y4 cells.
Methods: MLY-O4 cells were treated with 400 nmol/L trichostatin A (TSA) or 1 mmol/L dexamethasone for 24 h or transfected with a HDAC1-overexpressing vector prior to TSA or dexamethasone treatment. The changes in the expressions of HDAC1, SP1, cleaved caspase-3 and Bax, SP1 acetylation level, cell proliferation, and cell apoptosis were examined.

Background: UpToDate, no drugs have been approved to treat nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, the advanced stage of the most prevalent liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The present study was conducted to explore the potential influences of L-carnitine on the pathomechanisms of hepatic injury that mediate progression to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in dexamethasone-toxified rats.
Methods: Male Wistar rats were allocated as follows: dexamethasone group, rats received dexamethasone (8 mg/kg/day, intraperitoneally) for 6 days; DEXA-LCAR300, DEXA-LCAR500, and DEXA-MET groups, rats administered L-carnitine (300 or 500 mg/kg/day, IP) or metformin (500 mg/kg/day, orally) one week prior to dexamethasone injection (8 mg/kg/day, IP) and other six days alongside dexamethasone administration.
Mechanism of MiR-145a-3p/Runx2 pathway in dexamethasone impairment of MC3T3-E1 osteogenic capacity in mice.

Article Synopsis
- The experiment aimed to identify specific miRNAs that contribute to the reduction of osteogenic capacity in mouse osteoblast precursor cells (MC3T3-E1) caused by dexamethasone.
- Various concentrations of dexamethasone were tested on MC3T3-E1 cells to determine their effects on cell viability, with subsequent assessments of apoptosis, reactive oxygen species, and osteogenesis-related gene expression performed using techniques like flow cytometry and Western Blot.
- Ultimately, it was found that a 10μM concentration of dexamethasone effectively diminished osteogenic function, marked by decreased alkaline phosphatase activity and increased apoptosis, suggesting a significant role of certain miRNAs in this process.

Bone is a dynamic organ with an active metabolism and high sensitivity to mitochondrial dysfunction. The mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) is a low-selectivity channel situated in the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM), permitting the exchange of molecules of up to 1.5 kDa in and out of the IMM.

Aim: There is a need for effective treatments for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) that are economically inexpensive, and have few side effects. The present study aimed to investigate exercise training and silymarin on hepatocyte death factors in rats with liver damage.
Methods: Forty-nine male Wistar rats were assigned to seven groups: sedentary control, fatty liver control (DEX), fatty liver + high-intensity interval training (HIIT), fatty liver + HIIT + silymarin (HIIT + SILY), fatty liver + continuous training (CT), fatty liver + CT + silymarin (CT + SILY), and fatty liver + silymarin (SILY).
