Objective: To investigate the effects of dimethyloxalyl glycine on hypoxic-ischemic brain damage in newborn rats.
Methods: Forty eight postnatal day 10 SD rats were divided into 3 groups, including sham surgery group, hypoxic-ischemic group and DMOG treated group. The brain tissues were collected at 4, 8, 24 and 72 hours after the hypoxic-ischemic treatment. The expressions of hypoxia inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alfa) protein and anti apoptoticprotein cleaved caspase 3 (CC3) were detected by immunohistochemistry. The apoptotic cells were detected by TUNEL staining.
Results: The expression level of HIF-1alpha was significantly higher in DMOG treated group than in hypoxic-ischemic group. While the expression level of CC3 was lower and the number of tunel positive cells was fewer in DMOG treated group than that in hypoxic-ischemic group.
Conclusion: Dimethyloxalyl glycine may play a neuro-protective role in hypoxic-ischemic brain damage in newborn rats by stabilizing HIF-1alpha.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of taurine on skeletal muscle glycolysis in pigs. The results showed that dietary supplementation of taurine significantly reduced the activities of hexokinase (HK), phosphofructose kinase (PFK), and pyruvate kinase (PK) in finishing pigs. Meanwhile, taurine reduced the protein and mRNA expression levels of hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and the mRNA expression of glycolytic enzyme related genes (such as HK type II, HK Ⅱ; pyruvate kinase M2, PKM2; lactate dehydrogenase A, LDHA).

The skeleton is a metabolically active organ undergoing continuous remodeling initiated by bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs). Recent research has demonstrated that BMSCs adapt the metabolic pathways to drive the osteogenic differentiation and bone formation, but the mechanism involved remains largely elusive. Here, using a comprehensive targeted metabolome and transcriptome profiling, we revealed that one-carbon metabolism was promoted following osteogenic induction of BMSCs.

Bone tissue engineering is considered the ideal approach for bone repair. Mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) possesses the characteristics of high drug-loading capacity and bioactivity. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound contributes to promoting fracture healing and bone defect repair, and dimethyloxalyl glycine (DMOG) is a small molecular inhibitor that can suppress prolyl hydroxylase, reducing the degradation of hypoxia-inducible factor.

Most cases of preterm labor have unknown cause, and the burden of preterm birth is immense. Placental aging has been proposed to promote labor onset, but specific mechanisms remain elusive. We report findings stemming from unbiased transcriptomic analysis of mouse placenta, which revealed that hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) stabilization is a hallmark of advanced gestational timepoints, accompanied by mitochondrial dysregulation and cellular senescence; we detected similar effects in aging human placenta.

Objective: To observe the effect of ( stone plaste) pretreatment on serum level of prolyl hydroxylase domain 2 (PHD2) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in rats with acute hypobaric hypoxia induced-brain injury, and to explore the possible mechanism of on preventing brain injury at high altitude.
Methods: Forty-five male SD rats were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, a Biantie group, a medication group and a Biantie+inhibitor group, 9 rats in each group. The rats in the Biantie group the and the Biantie+inhibitor group were pretreated with at "Taiyuan" (LU 9), "Neiguan" (PC 6) and "Renying" (ST 9), 2 h each time, once a day; the rats in the medication group were treated with intragastric administration of rhodiola capsule solution (280 mg/kg) for 14 d; the rats in the Biantie+inhibitor group were intraperitoneally injected with the PHD inhibitor dimethyloxalyl glycine (DMOG) at a dose of 40 mg/kg 24 h before the establishment of the model.
