It is well established that exercise could protect against myocardial infarction (MI). Previously, we found that epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) could be induced by exercise and has been found to protect against MI via promoting angiogenic function of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). However, the underling mechanism of EETs in promoting EPC functions is unclear. C57BL/6 mice were fed with a novel soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitor (sEHi), TPPU, to increase EET levels, for 1 week before undergoing MI surgery. Mice were then subjected to exercise training for 4 weeks. Bone marrow-derived EPCs were isolated and cultured in vitro. Exercise upregulated miR-126 expression but downregulated the protein levels of its target gene, Spred1, in EPCs from MI mice. TPPU further enhanced the effects of exercise on EPCs. Spred1 overexpression abolished the protective effects of TPPU on EPC functions. Downregulation of miR-126 by antagomiR-126 impaired the inhibitor effects of TPPU on Spred1 mRNA and protein expression. Additionally, TPPU upregulated miR-126 is partially mediated through ERK/p38 MAPK pathway. This study showed that sEHi promoted miR-126 expression, which might be related to the beneficial effect of sEHi on EPC functions in MI mice under exercise conditions, by increasing ERK and p38 MAPK phosphorylation and inhibiting Spred1.

Background: The concept of "skin quality" (SQ) has gained widespread attention, with a recent international consensus defining it and outlining four "emergent perceptual categories" (EPCs), each accompanied by specific parameters and associated measurement methods. No research has confirmed whether the parameters linked to these EPCs vary objectively with age. This gap in data is significant, as understanding how these parameters correlate with age could be essential for creating an objective, age-adjusted classification of SQ.

Background: Inflammatory diseases impair the reparative properties of endothelial progenitor cells (EPC); however, the involvement of diabetes in EPC dysfunction associated with myocardial infarction (MI) remains unknown.
Methods: A model was established combining high-fat diet (HFD)/streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice with myocardial infarction. The therapeutic effects of transplanted wild-type EPC, Nlrp3 knockout EPC, and Nlrp3 overexpression EPC were evaluated.

Saprolegniasis is a common fungal disease in aquaculture. It will form white flocculent hyphae on the skin of fish, and the hyphae may grow inward and penetrate into muscle tissue, which will reduce the immunity of the body and eventually lead to death. However, there are still some gaps in the mechanism of the fish body surface against the invasion of Saprolegnia.

Unlabelled: The protozoan parasite is the only known eukaryote capable of synthesizing the three main phosphosphingolipids: sphingomyelin (SM), inositol phosphorylceramide (IPC), and ethanolamine phosphorylceramide (EPC). It has four paralogous genes encoding sphingolipid synthases (). TbSLS1 is a dedicated IPC synthase, TbSLS2 is a dedicated EPC synthase, and TbSLS3 and TbSLS4 are bifunctional SM/EPC synthases.

Recently, experimental observation has shown that the substitutional alloy (Ce,La)H can be successfully synthesized under high pressure, approximately 90-170 GPa, and become a superconductor with a high critical temperature () superconductivity in ternary rare-earth clathrate hydrides between 148-178 K. In this work, we theoretically simplified the hydride alloy (Ce,La)H, a compound in a series that could function as a potential superconductor, with CeLaH exhibiting strong electron-phonon coupling (EPC). The CeLaH alloy is scrutinized for its lattice dynamical stability in the pressure range of 100 to 150 GPa.
