Pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death, has recently emerged as a compelling molecular mechanism associated with the efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs in tumor treatment. OSW-1, derived from the bulbs of Ornithogalum saundersiae Baker, exhibits a diverse range of pharmacological effects. However, its specific antitumor effects on colorectal cancer (CRC) and the mechanisms underlying these effects remain elusive.

Objective: The present study was designed to comprehensively analyze the expression profiles of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), estrogen-related receptor-α (ERRα), estrogen receptor-β (ERβ), interleukin-6 (IL-6), cysteinyl-aspartic acid-specific protease-3 (caspase-3), and cysteinyl-aspartic acid-specific protease-9 (caspase-9) in endometriosis tissues. It also aimed to elucidate the hitherto unclarified role of PGC-1α in the processes of proliferation, apoptosis, and gene expression regulation of human endometrial stromal cells, thereby providing novel insights and identifying potential molecular targets for advancing endometriosis treatment modalities.

Methods: A total of 49 ectopic endometrial tissue samples and 50 normal endometrial tissue samples were meticulously collected from patients who underwent gynecological surgeries in the People's Hospital Affiliated to Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Fuzhou, China, between January 2022 and January 2023.

Genistein-3'-sodium sulfonate suppresses NLRP3-mediated cell pyroptosis after cerebral ischemia.

Key Laboratory of Prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases of Ministry of Education, Gannan Medical University, Ganzhou, 341000, China.

Cerebral ischemia-induced pyroptosis contributes to the dissemination of neuroinflammation, and Nod-like receptor protein-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome plays a key role in this process. Previous studies have indicated that Genistein-3'-sodiumsulfonate (GSS) can inhibit neuroinflammation caused by cerebral ischemia, exert cerebroprotective effects, but its specific mechanism has not been comprehensively understood. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of GSS on ischemic stroke-induced cell pyroptosis.

Molecular dynamics simulations to decipher the hotspots at the allosteric site of human 5-lipoxygenase.

Human 5-lipoxygenase (LOX) is a non-heme, Fe-containing LOX which catalyses the conversion of arachidonic acid (AA) to leukotriene A (LTA). LTA is subsequently converted to cysteinyl-LTs and LTB that cause bronchoconstriction and act as chemotactic and chemokinetic agent on human leukocytes, respectively. Leukotrienes play significant roles in inflammation in asthma, cardiovascular diseases, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and many more.

Diabetic liver injury (DLI) refers to liver injury resulting from prolonged chronic hyperglycemia and represents a significant complication associated with diabetes, The specific pathogenic mechanism of DLI remains incompletely understood. Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) has been demonstrated to play a crucial role in diabetic complications through intricate signalling pathways, including pyroptosis. However, it remains uncertain whether TNF-α mediates pyroptosis in DLI, we initially established an in vitro model of DLI and confirmed the presence of an inflammatory state characterized by TNF-α in DLI.
