Newly Identified Targets of Aspirin and Its Primary Metabolite, Salicylic Acid.

Published: April 2016

Salicylic acid (SA) is a plant hormone, which influences several physiological processes, and is a critical modulator of multiple levels of immunity in plants. Several high-throughput screens, which were developed to identify SA-binding proteins through which SA mediates its many physiological effects in plants, uncovered several novel targets of aspirin and its primary metabolite, SA, in humans. These include glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), two proteins associated with some of the most prevalent and devastating human diseases. In addition, natural and synthetic SA derivatives were discovered, which are much more potent than SA at inhibiting the disease-associated activities of these targets.

Atherosclerosis, a major cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD), involves plaque buildup in arteries driven by inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and lipid metabolism disturbances. Current therapies aim to reduce cholesterol through statins and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors, prevent blood clots with antiplatelet drugs like aspirin, and control inflammation, alongside lifestyle modifications. However, these approaches often fall short due to patient non-compliance and residual risks.

Background: Previously, Japanese Environmental Mutagen and Genome Society/Mammalian Mutagenicity Study Group/Toxicogenomics Study Group (JEMS/MMS toxicogenomic study group) proposed 12 genotoxic marker genes (Aen, Bax, Btg2, Ccnf, Ccng1, Cdkn1a, Gdf15, Lrp1, Mbd1, Phlda3, Plk2, and Tubb4b) to discriminate genotoxic hepatocarcinogens (GTHCs) from non-genotoxic hepatocarcinogens (NGTHCs) and non-genotoxic non-hepatocarcinogens (NGTNHCs) in mouse and rat liver using qPCR and RNA-Seq and confirmed in public rat toxicogenomics data, Open TG-GATEs, by principal component analysis (PCA). On the other hand, the U.S.

BACKGROUND Dual antiplatelet therapy is the main treatment for cardiovascular diseases (CADs). In this study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of aspirin combined with low-dose rivaroxaban in the secondary prevention of high-risk ischemic cardiovascular diseases. MATERIAL AND METHODS In total, 168 patients who were diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction or multiple vessel disease 1 year after percutaneous coronary intervention were divided into 2 groups: the aspirin group (aspirin as acetylsalicylic acid: 100 mg once daily) and the aspirin + rivaroxaban group (aspirin: 100 mg once daily, rivaroxaban: 2.

Among the common malignancies, colorectal cancer (CRC) is often resistant to chemotherapy because of drug resistance and severe toxicity. Currently, aspirin is one of the most promising CRC chemopreventive drugs, both for primary prevention and for reducing the chance of recurrence and metastasis following radical surgery in patients with early-stage CRC. Oleanolic acid is a potential antineoplastic drug that has an antagonistic effect on many kinds of tumors.

Nerve injury causes neuropathic pain and multilevel nerve barrier disruption. Nerve barriers consist of perineurial, endothelial and myelin barriers. So far, it is unclear whether resealing nerve barriers fosters pain resolution and recovery.
