β-CD-C14TAB complex-coated 5CB droplets are designed by the adsorption of β-CD-C14TAB complexes at the 5CB/aqueous interface. We show that the 5CB droplets can be used as an optical probe for the selective detection of cholic acid in aqueous solution containing uric acid and urea via competitive host-guest recognition.

Bile acids in follicular fluid: potential new therapeutic targets and predictive markers for women with diminished ovarian reserve.

J Ovarian Res

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Female Fertility Promotion, Center for Reproductive Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing, China.

Objective: To investigate the changes in bile acid (BA) metabolites within the follicular fluid (FF) of patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) and to identify novel diagnostic markers that could facilitate early detection and intervention in DOR patients.

Design: A total of 182 patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) were enrolled and categorized into the normal ovarian reserve (NOR) group (n = 91) or the DOR group (n = 91) to measure BA levels in FF. To identify the changes in granulosa cells (GCs), we collected GCs from an additional 7 groups of patients for transcriptome sequencing.

Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Inclusions Sequester GRP78 in a Bile Acid-Inducible Manner.

Liver Int

January 2025

Medical Department III, Gastroenterology, Metabolic Diseases and Intensive Care, University Hospital RWTH Aachen, Aachen, Germany.

Background And Aims: The homozygous PiZ mutation (PIZZ genotype) constitutes the predominant cause of severe alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency and leads to liver disease via hepatocellular AAT aggregation. We systematically analysed the composition of AAT aggregates and studied the impact of bile acids.

Methods: AAT inclusions were isolated from livers of PiZ overexpressing mice and PIZZ humans via fluorescence-activated and immunomagnetic sorting (FACS/MACS), while insoluble proteins were obtained via Triton-X extraction.

Objective: To investigate the effect of baijinpingchuan (, BJPC) on the asthma rat model and identify differential metabolites and disturbed metabolic pathways.

Methods: The rats were categorized into six groups: control, dexamethasone (DEX), ovalbumin (OVA), and low-, median-, and high-dose BJPC. The rats, except for the control group, were initially treated with OVA to develop the asthma model, which was then activated using DEX, OVA, and low-, median-, and high-dose BJPC.

A Novel Colon-Targeting Ratiometric Probe with Large Emission Shift for Imaging Peroxynitrite in Ulcerative Colitis.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory disease that leads to the overexpression of peroxynitrite (ONOO). Up to now, it has been a challenge to design a colon-targeted fluorescent probe with a large emission shift that can detect and image ONOO in UC mice. Here, a fluorophore (pyran-coumarin) is linked with cholic acid to develop a colon-targeted fluorescent probe () for the detection of ONOO.

Article Synopsis
  • Various harmful substances can negatively impact the liver, leading to conditions like hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), drug-induced liver injury (DILI), and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), making accurate detection and monitoring essential for effective treatment.
  • Carboxylesterase 2 (CES2) is a liver enzyme that can serve as a potential biomarker for these diseases, and the development of a new fluorescent probe (LAN-CA) using cholic acid improves detection accuracy.
  • The LAN-CA probe shows enhanced specificity and sensitivity in detecting CES2 in live cells and performs well in imaging liver disease models, indicating its potential for better diagnosis and monitoring of liver conditions.
