Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the role of JAK2-STAT3 (Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) in periapical disease caused by Enterococcus faecalis, as well as the correlation between lipoteichoic acid (LTA) in E. faecalis and the activity of the JAK2-STAT3 signaling pathway and osteoclast formation.
Materials And Methods: A rat model of periapical periodontitis induced by E. faecalis was established. Periapical bone resorption was confirmed by HE staining. The expression of JAK2, p-JAK2, STAT3, and p-STAT3 was assessed with immunohistochemical staining. Osteoclasts were observed through enzyme histochemical staining. LTA acted on mouse osteoclast precursor cells (RAW264.7 cells); a JAK2 inhibitor (AG490) was used to inhibit the JAK2-STAT3 pathway in RAW264.7 cells. The expression of proteins in the JAK2-STAT3 pathway and TRAP (tartrate resistant acid phosphatase) in RAW264.7 cells was also detected.
Results: Rat periapical periodontitis was successfully established and bone resorption peaked at day 21. The expression of critical components in the JAK2-STAT3 pathway increased with the progression of inflammation. LTA promoted the differentiation of RAW264.7 cells into osteoclasts. NFATc1 was highly expressed and was inhibited by AG490.
Conclusions: JAK2-STAT3 signaling pathway plays an important role in the process of periapical bone resorption and osteoclastogenesis.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a prevalent and severe clinical condition characterized by inflammatory damage to the lung endothelial and epithelial barriers, resulting in high incidence and mortality rates. Currently, there is a lack of safe and effective drugs for the treatment of ALI. In a previous clinical study, we observed that Jinyinqingre oral liquid (JYQR), a Traditional Chinese Medicine formulation prepared by the Taihe Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Hubei University of Medicine, exhibited notable efficacy in treating inflammation-related hepatitis and cholecystitis in clinical settings.

Background & Aims: Fasting and calorie restriction are associated with a prolonged life span and an increased resistance to stress. The protective effects of fasting have been exploited for the mitigation of ischemic organ injury, yet the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, we investigated whether fasting protects liver against ischemia reperfusion (IR) through energy-preserving or anti-inflammatory mechanisms.

Macrophages can be activated through TLRs for a variety of innate immune responses. In contrast with the wealth of data existing on TLR-dependent gene expression and resultant cytokine production, very little is known on the mechanisms governing TLR-mediated arachidonic acid (AA) mobilization and subsequent eicosanoid production. We have previously reported the involvement of both cytosolic group IVA phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) and secreted group V phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)-V) in regulating the AA mobilization response of macrophages exposed to bacterial LPS, a TLR4 agonist.
