Euphordraculoates A (1) and B (2), featuring tigliane diterpenoids with two new carbon skeletons, were characterized as metabolites of Euphorbia dracunculoides and semisynthetic products, respectively. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analyses and X-ray crystallography. The respective biosynthetic and chemical formation mechanisms for 1 and 2 from a known tigliane 3 was proposed. The detailed decarbonization mechanism from 3 to 2 was further explored by O-labeling experiment. Compound 2 could inhibit Wnt pathway in a dose- and time-dependent manner.

Steroids, which are often used to treat the inflammation associated with various skin diseases, have several negative side effects. As extract has anti-inflammatory effects in various diseases, we evaluated the efficacy of -derived extracellular vesicles (EVEs) in decreasing 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced inflammation. We determined the effect of the EVEs on the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome in human keratinocytes and mouse ear skin.

Previous research has demonstrated that a combined magnetic field (CMF) plays a critical role in modifying the properties of aqueous solutions, leading to an increase in the luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence of neutrophils. Using this model, the distant interaction between aqueous solutions was demonstrated, and the role of a CMF in the regulation of this phenomenon was established. In the current study, highly diluted (HD) phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) solution (the donor) was incubated with aqueous ethanol (the acceptor), both in a CMF-generating device and under geomagnetic field (GMF), for 0, 20, and 60 min.

Background: Preeclampsia is prevalent in women with diabetes, but the mechanism is unclear. We previously found that oxidized, glycated lipoproteins robustly upregulated soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt1), a key mediator of preeclampsia. Here, we determined the role of protein kinase C (PKC) and its subtypes in sFlt1 regulation in placental trophoblasts, and whether this mechanism might mediate the effect of modified lipoproteins.

Background: Primary human neutrophils play a pivotal role in innate immunity, mainly through the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in a process known as NETosis. This cell-death pathway is crucial for combating infections but is also implicated in many inflammatory diseases, such as sepsis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Methods: The study presented here investigates chromatin dynamics during NET formation by stimulating primary human neutrophils with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA).
