Celastrol is an important bioactive triterpenoid in traditional Chinese medicinal plant, Tripterygium wilfordii. Methyl Jasmonate (MJ) is a common plant hormone which can regulate the secondary metabolism in higher plants. In this study, the mevalonate (MVA) pathway genes in T. wilfordii were firstly cloned. The suspension cells of T. wilfordii were elicited by MJ, and the expressions of MVA pathway genes were all enhanced in different levels ranging from 2.13 to 22.33 times of that at 0 h. The expressions were also enhanced compared with the CK group separately. The accumulation of celastrol in the suspension cells after the treatment was quantified and co-analyzed with the genes expression levels. The production of celastrol was significantly increased to 0.742 mg g(-1) after MJ treatment in 288 h which is consistent with the genes expressions. The results provide plenty of gene information for the biosynthesis of terpenoids in T. wilfordii and a viable way to improve the accumulation of celastrol in T. wilfordii suspension cells.

Stilbenes are specialized metabolites that are particularly abundant in species. Although the biosynthetic pathways of stilbenes have been well-characterized, the role of specific peroxidases in stilbene oligomerization remains to be investigated. In this study, we used grapevine cell cultures to characterize the functional role of peroxidase 4 (VvPRX4) in the production of resveratrol oligomers after elicitation with methyl jasmonate (MeJA).

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the cytotoxicity of 25% of neem leaf extract (), 20% of guava leaf extracts (), and 20% of cinnamon extract () irrigants at three intervals of time.
Methodology: Four groups were formed ( = 15), Group 1 (control group) - normal saline solution, Group 2 - 25% of neem extract, Group 3 - 20% of guava extract, and Group 4 - 20% of cinnamon extract. Each group was further divided into three subgroups based on intervals ( = 5).
Effects of BLa80 on fecal and mucosal flora and stem cell factor/c-kit signaling pathway in simulated microgravity rats.

Background: Simulated microgravity environment can lead to gastrointestinal motility disturbance. The pathogenesis of gastrointestinal motility disorders is closely related to the stem cell factor (SCF)/c-kit signaling pathway associated with intestinal flora and Cajal stromal cells. Moreover, intestinal flora can also affect the regulation of SCF/c-kit signaling pathway, thus affecting the expression of Cajal stromal cells.

Methuosis, a non-apoptotic pattern of cell death, triggers the accumulation of macropinosome-derived vacuoles in the cytoplasm. Through this novel mechanism, methuosis inducers possess great potential in fighting apoptosis-resistant cancer cells and offer a promising alternative for cancer treatment. However, the potent methuosis inducer, 3-(5-methoxy, 2-methyl-1-indol-3-yl)-1-(4-pyridinyl)-2-propen-1-one (MOMIPP), faces an intractable issue of insolubility in most solvents, hindering dosing and compromising the validation of its antitumor efficacy.

Background: Lutein, a carotenoid, exhibits various biological activities such as maintaining the health of the eye, skin, heart, and bone. Recently, we found that lutein has dual roles in suppressing bone resorption and promoting bone formation. In this study, we examined the effects of lutein in a disuse-induced osteoporosis model using hindlimb-unloaded (HLU) mice.
