Article Abstract
We have shown previously that high expression levels of microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) correlate with a poor prognosis of breast cancer patients receiving tamoxifen, suggesting that enhanced mEH expression could lead to antiestrogen resistance (Fritz et al. in J Clin Oncol 19:3-9, 2001). Thus, the purpose of this study was to gain insights into the role of mEH in hormone-responsive tissues. We analyzed biopsy samples of the endometrium by immunohistochemical staining, pointing to a regulation of mEH during the menstrual cycle: during the first half mEH expression was low, increased during the second half and reached highest levels during pregnancy. Additionally, the progesterone receptor (PR) positive human endometrial cell lines IKPRAB-36 (estrogene receptor alpha [ERalpha] negative) and ECC1-PRAB72 (ERalpha positive) were chosen to further investigate the hormonal regulation of mEH expression. Western Blot and quantitative RT-PCR analysis revealed an increase of mEH expression after treatment with medroxy-progesterone 17-acetate (MPA) in the ERalpha containing ECC1-PRAB72 cells. In contrast our results suggest that MPA had no influence on the mEH protein level in the ERalpha- IKPRAB-36 cells. In conclusion, mEH expression is regulated by progesterone in the presence of both PRs and ERalpha.

Article Synopsis
- High lipid diets (HLD) and high plant-protein diets (HPD) can reduce the need for fishmeal in fish diets but may harm liver health and growth performance in pearl gentian groupers.
- A study found that both HLD and HPD led to significant decreases in fish weight gain, growth rate, and feed intake compared to a control diet, with a combined high lipid-high plant-protein diet (HLPD) worsening these effects.
- Liver health was negatively impacted, showing increased cholesterol and triglyceride levels, inflammation, and oxidative stress, along with altered gene expression linked to bile acid metabolism.
CT1812 biomarker signature from a meta-analysis of CSF proteomic findings from two Phase 2 clinical trials in Alzheimer's disease.

Cognition Therapeutics, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
Introduction: CT1812 is in clinical development for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) exploratory proteomics was employed to identify pharmacodynamic biomarkers of CT1812 in mild to moderate AD from two independent clinical trials.
Methods: Unbiased analysis of tandem-mass tag mass spectrometry (TMT-MS) quantitative proteomics, pathway analysis and correlation analyses with volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (vMRI) were performed for the SPARC cohort (NCT03493282).
Trajectory of C-Reactive Protein and Incident Heart Failure in Black Adults: The Jackson Heart Study.

Background: Increased hsCRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein), a marker of inflammation, is associated with incident cardiovascular events. We aim to determine whether the baseline or trajectory of hsCRP levels over time predicts incident heart failure (HF) hospitalization.
Methods: JHS (Jackson Heart Study) participants' (n=3920 Black adults) hsCRP levels were measured over 3 visits (from 2000 to 2013).

As an advance laboratory model, three-dimensional (3D) organoid culture has recently been recruited to study development, physiology and abnormality of kidney tissue. Micro-tissues derived from primary renal cells are composed of 3D epithelial structures representing the main characteristics of original tissue. In this research, we presented a simple method to isolate mouse renal clonogenic mesenchymal (MLCs) and epithelial-like cells (ELCs).

Background: The administration of intravenous cangrelor at reperfusion achieves faster onset of platelet P2Y12 inhibition than oral ticagrelor and has been shown to reduce myocardial infarction (MI) size in the preclinical setting. We hypothesized that the administration of cangrelor at reperfusion will reduce MI size and prevent microvascular obstruction in patients with ST-segment-elevation MI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
Methods: This was a phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial conducted between November 2017 to November 2021 in 6 cardiac centers in Singapore.
