The protective effects of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase (NOX) 1 inhibition against kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) remain uncertain. The bilateral kidney pedicles of C57BL/6 mice were clamped for 30 min to induce IRI. Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells were incubated with HO (1.4 mM) for 1 h to induce oxidative stress. ML171, a selective NOX1 inhibitor, and siRNA against NOX1 were treated to inhibit NOX1. NOX expression, oxidative stress, apoptosis assay, and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway were evaluated. The kidney function deteriorated and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), including intracellular HO production, increased due to IRI, whereas IRI-mediated kidney dysfunction and ROS generation were significantly attenuated by ML171. HO evoked the changes in oxidative stress enzymes such as SOD2 and GPX in MDCK cells, which was mitigated by ML171. Treatment with ML171 and transfection with siRNA against NOX1 decreased the upregulation of NOX1 and NOX4 induced by HO in MDCK cells. ML171 decreased caspase-3 activity, the Bcl-2/Bax ratio, and TUNEL-positive tubule cells in IRI mice and HO-treated MDCK cells. Among the MAPK pathways, ML171 affected ERK signaling by ERK phosphorylation in kidney tissues and tubular cells. NOX1-selective inhibition attenuated kidney IRI via inhibition of ROS-mediated ERK signaling.

Several viruses, including influenza A virus (IAV), encode viral factors to hijack cellular RNA biogenesis processes to direct the degradation of host mRNAs, termed "host shutoff." Host shutoff enables viruses to simultaneously reduce antiviral responses and provides preferential access for viral mRNAs to cellular translation machinery. IAV PA-X is one of these factors that selectively shuts off the global host genes.

Background: Severe Acute Respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and Influenza A viruses (IAVs) are among the most important causes of viral respiratory tract infections, causing similar symptoms. IAV and SARS-CoV-2 infections can provoke mild symptoms like fever, cough, sore throat, loss of taste or smell, or they may cause more severe consequences leading to pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome or even death. While treatments for IAV and SARS-CoV-2 infection are available, IAV antivirals often target viral proteins facilitating the emergence of drug-resistant viral variants.

Transitions between solid-like and fluid-like states in living tissues have been found in steps of embryonic development and in stages of disease progression. Our current understanding of these transitions has been guided by experimental and theoretical investigations focused on how motion becomes arrested with increased mechanical coupling between cells, typically as a function of packing density or cell cohesiveness. However, cells actively respond to externally applied forces by contracting after a time delay, so it is possible that at some packing densities or levels of cell cohesiveness, mechanical coupling stimulates cell motion instead of suppressing it.

Wound healing is a complex biological process critical for maintaining an organism's structural integrity and tissue repair following an infection or injury. Recent studies have unveiled the mechanisms involving the coordination of biochemical and mechanical responses in the tissue in wound healing. In this article, we focus on the healing property of an epithelial tissue as a material while the effects of biological mechanisms such as cell proliferation, tissue intercalation, cellular migration, cell crawling, and filopodia protrusion is minimal.

Influenza is a disease of significant morbidity and mortality. The number of anti-influenza drugs is small; many of them stimulate the appearance of resistant strains. This article presents the results of assessing the antiviral activity of 1,2,3-triazole-containing derivatives of alkaloid lupinine for their ability to suppress the reproduction of orthomyxoviruses (influenza viruses: A/Vladivostok/2/09 (H1N1) and A/Almaty/8/98 (H3N2)).
