Heat shock protein 70-1A (HSP70-1A) is a stress-inducible protein that provides an essential intracellular molecular chaperone function; however, the mechanism of HSP70-1A in angiogenesis has not been clarified. Herein, HSP70-1A gene silencing implicated this protein in angiogenesis. Additionally, recombinant human HSP70-1A (rhHSP70-1A) was able to stimulate human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) migration and tube formation in vitro and microvessel formation in vivo similarly to recombinant human vascular endothelial growth factor (rhVEGF). Furthermore, rhHSP70-1A was tightly bound to the surface of HUVECs and participated in extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK)-dependent angiogenesis. Together, these results implicate HSP70-1A as a novel angiogenic regulator.

Objective: Neuronal damage is criminal to cognitive dysfunction, closely related to endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). However, due to the pathogenesis of endotoxin-induced long-term cognitive dysfunction is not fully clarified, there is still a lack of effective treatment. This study was conducted to explore the protective effects and mechanism of rosmarinic acid (RA) against ERS in endotoxin-induced cognitive dysfunction in mice and neuronal injury in cells.

Sodium metabisulfite is widely used as a preservative in many food and beverage products, yet its potential effects on cognitive and motor functions at low concentrations remain poorly understood. Evaluating learning, short-term memory, and motor activity is essential, as these functions are critical indicators of neurological health and could be impacted by low-level exposure to sodium metabisulfite. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of sublethal concentrations of sodium metabisulfite on cognitive and motor functions using (fruit flies) as the model organism.

Lead azide (LA) is a widely utilized primary explosive, serving as the initiating charge in blasting caps or detonators to start the detonation process of secondary explosives. The toxicity and environmental concerns associated with LA have led to regulatory restrictions and increased scrutiny, prompting the search for lead-free alternatives. LA is highly sensitive toward heat, shock, or friction, which poses safety challenges during manufacturing, handling, and storage.

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal modification on mRNA and plays critical roles in various biological processes including virus infection. It has been shown that m6A methylation is able to regulate virus proliferation and host innate immunity in mammals and plants, however, this antiviral defense in insects is largely unknown. Here we investigated function of m6A and its associated methyltransferases in nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) infection in silkworm.

BAG3 is a universal adapter protein involved in various cellular processes, including the regulation of apoptosis, chaperone-assisted selective autophagy, and heat shock protein function. The interaction between small heat shock proteins (sHsps) and their α-crystallin domains (Acds) with full-length BAG3 protein and its IPV domain was analyzed using size-exclusion chromatography, native gel electrophoresis, and chemical cross-linking. HspB7 and the 3D mutant of HspB1 (which mimics phosphorylation) showed no interaction, HspB6 weakly interacted, and HspB8 strongly interacted with full-length BAG3.
