Hyperthermia is an adjuvant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy and sensitizes tumors to these treatments. However, repeated heat treatments result in acquisition of heat resistance (thermotolerance) in tumors. Thermotolerance is an adaptive survival response that appears to be mediated by upregulated cellular defenses.

Time-resolved x-ray crystallography (TR-X) at synchrotrons and free electron lasers is a promising technique for recording dynamics of molecules at atomic resolution. While experimental methods for TR-X have proliferated and matured, data analysis is often difficult. Extracting small, time-dependent changes in signal is frequently a bottleneck for practitioners.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the antioxidative and neuroprotective effects of DJ-1 in mitigating retinal ganglion cell (RGC) damage induced by high glucose (HG).
Methods: A diabetic mouse model and an HG-induced R28 cell model were employed for loss- and gain-of-function experiments. The expression levels of apoptosis and oxidative stress-related factors, including Bax, Bcl-2, caspase3, Catalase, MnSOD, GCLC, Cyto c, and GPx-1/2, were assessed in both animal and cell models using Western blotting.

The biochemical interplay between antioxidants and pro-oxidants maintains the redox homeostatic balance of the cell, which, when perturbed to moderate or high extents, has been implicated in the onset and/or progression of chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Thioredoxin, glutaredoxin, and lipoic acid-like thiol oxidoreductase systems constitute a unique ensemble of robust cellular antioxidant defenses, owing to their indispensable roles as S-denitrosylases, S-deglutathionylases, and disulfide reductants in maintaining a reduced free thiol state with biological relevance. Thus, in cells subjected to nitrosative stress, cellular antioxidants will S-denitrosylate their cognate S-nitrosoprotein substrates, rather than participate in trans-S-nitrosylation via protein-protein interactions.

Aims: We aimed to resolve the uncertainty as to whether betulin exerted neuroprotection on early brain injury (EBI) caused by subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and to investigate the related molecular mechanisms.
Methods: Bioinformatic analysis was performed to pre-study the differently expressed genes (DEGs) and the possible signaling pathways. Rat and cellular model of SAH were introduced in this study, and betulin, an activator of DJ-1 protein, was administered to reveal the effect.
