Purpose: The Nrf2-ARE pathway plays a cytoprotective role in many tissues,but its protective function in the optic nerve is unclear. The purpose of the study is to investigate the changes in activation of the Nrf2-ARE pathway following optic nerve injury (ONI) in mice.
Methods: Using ONI mice models, the expression levels of Nrf2 in optic nerves were determined by real-time PCR at various time points.
Results: The expression of Nrf2mRNA was significantly upregulated at 1 d after ONI, peaking at 30 min after ONI.
Conclusion: The Nrf2-ARE pathway was activated after ONI, providing evidence for the study of the protection and underlying mechanism of Nrf2-ARE pathway on optic nerves.

The traditional use of plants of the Cinnamomum genus dates back to traditional Eastern medicine for millennia and they have also been used in Western integrative medicine practices, especially for their anti-inflammatory activity. In the context of chemical diversity, the absolute majority of species in this genus have cinnamaldehyde as the majority component, which in turn holds the title of the active ingredient, whose biological effect profile has already been demonstrated in numerous experiments in acute and chronic inflammatory conditions. In this context, the objective of this research was to investigate how cinnamaldehyde can influence inflammatory phenomena.

Recent evidence links gut microbiota alterations to neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease (PD). Replenishing the abnormal composition of gut microbiota through gut microbiota-based interventions "prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, postbiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)" has shown beneficial effects in PD. These interventions increase gut metabolites like short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which may protect dopaminergic neurons via the gut-brain axis.

Genome mining is a promising avenue for expanding the repertoire of microbial natural products, which are important for drug development. This approach involves predicting genetically encoded small molecules by examining bacterial genomes via accumulated knowledge of microbial biosynthesis. However, it is also important that the microbes produce the predicted molecule in practice.

Exposure to UV irradiation results in abnormal, extensive apoptosis of skin cells. This excessive cell death can promote inflammation and alter the microenvironment, increasing the risk of skin cancer. Despite extensive research, few materials are effective at simultaneously protecting against both UVA and UVB irradiation.
