The cellular mechanism by which epoxy fatty acids (EpFA) improves disease status is not well characterized. Previous studies suggest the involvement of cellular receptors and cyclic AMP (cAMP). Herein, the action of EpFAs derived from linoleic acid (LA), arachidonic acid (ARA), and docosahexaenoic acid on cAMP levels was studied in multiple cell types to elucidate relationships between EpFAs, receptors and cells' origin. cAMP levels were enhanced in HEK293 and LLC-PK1 cells by EpFAs from LA and ARA. Using selective antagonists, the EpFA effects on cAMP levels appear dependent on the prostaglandin E receptor 2 (EP2) but not 4 (EP4). Human coronary artery smooth muscle cells responded similarly to the EpFAs. However, we were not able to show the involvement of any of the receptors tested in this cell type. The results pinpointed distinct cell lines and receptor subtypes that natively respond to EpFA.

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is critical in regulating the homeostasis of microglial cells. It activates various signaling pathways that mediate the phosphorylation of cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) at key regulatory sites. The decrease in phosphorylated CREB (p-CREB) expression is linked to neuroinflammatory responses.

Introduction: Malnutrition correlates with neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPSs) in Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, the potential mechanism underlying this association remains unclear.
Methods: Baseline and longitudinal associations of nutritional status with NPSs were analyzed in 374 patients on the AD continuum and 61 healthy controls. Serum biomarkers, behavioral tests, cerebral neurotransmitters, and differentially gene expression were evaluated in standard and malnourished diet-fed transgenic APPswe/PSEN1dE9 (APP/PS1) mice.

Background: Vitamin D (VD) deficiency and insulin resistance (IR) increase the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but few studies have explored the potential mechanisms by which IR mediates the association between VD and the pathogenesis of NAFLD at the genetic level using publicly available databases.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, and we utilized the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) dataset, as well as data from GSE200765 obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) website. A total of 723 individuals who had completed liver ultrasound examination and the detection of VD levels were included in the final analysis.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a significant cause of lifelong disability, with no available disease-modifying treatments to promote neuroprotection and axon regeneration after injury. Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a promising therapy which has proven effective at restoring lost function after SCI in pre-clinical models. However, the precise mechanism of action is yet to be determined.

Background: Exosomes derived from cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) can affect tumor microenvironment (TME) of thyroid cancer (TC). The cAMP response element binding protein 1 (CREB1) acts as a transcription factor to participate in cancer development. Currently, we aimed to explore the molecular mechanism of exosome-associated CREB1 and C-C motif chemokine ligand 20 (CCL20) in TC.
