AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates the role of Triad1 in spinal cord injury (SCI) by examining its effects on inflammation and neuronal injury in rats.
  • Twenty-four male rats were used in controlled experiments to assess motor function and analyze spinal cord damage through various staining techniques and molecular tests.
  • Findings indicate that knocking down Triad1 enhances motor function and decreases inflammation and neuron death following SCI, suggesting potential therapeutic implications for SCI treatment.

Article Abstract

Objective: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most devastating central injuries, resulting in serious locomotor deficits. Triad1 is known to play an important role in SCI, but its effects on the inflammatory response and physiological behavior have not been thoroughly studied. This study is aimed at examining the effects of Triad1 on the inflammatory response and neuronal injury in acute SCI in rats.

Methods: Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into a control group, SCI group, sh-NC group, and Triad1 knockout group (sh-Triad1). The Basso Beattie Bresnahan locomotor rating scale was utilized for the assessment of the motor ability of rats. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), Luxol fast blue (LFB), and TUNEL staining were used to assess the pathological injury, demyelination, and neuronal apoptosis, respectively. ELISA was used to detect the levels of IL-1, IL-10, and TNF-, and qRT-PCR was used to examine the expression level of Triad1. Furthermore, the protein levels of Triad1, Bax, Bcl-2, and cleaved caspase-3 were determined using western blotting.

Results: The Triad1 expression level was upregulated in damaged spinal cord tissue. Knockdown of Triad1 improved motor function and reduced SCI as well as apoptosis of spinal cord neurons. In addition, the knockdown of Triad1 inhibited the inflammatory response caused by SCI.

Conclusion: Knockdown of Triad1 can reduce SCI in rats with acute SCI by inhibiting the inflammatory response and apoptosis.

Endometriosis is a complex gynecological condition characterized by abnormal immune responses. This study aims to explore the immunomodulatory effects of monoterpene glycosides from Paeonia lactiflora on endometriosis. Using the ssGSEA algorithm, we assessed immune cell infiltration levels between normal and endometriosis groups.

Background: NSAIDs are commonly used as first line therapy in chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) but are not effective for all patients. The objective of this study was to identify clinical variables associated with NSAID monotherapy response versus requiring second-line medication in a single-center cohort of patients with CNO.

Methods: The charts of children with CNO who attended a CNO clinic at a quaternary care center between 1/1/05 and 7/31/21 were retrospectively reviewed.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has become the most common chronic liver disease worldwide. The pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) has been proposed as a biomarker for assessing immune status and inflammation. There is currently no evidence regarding the effect of PIV on the risk of MASLD.

Altered 3D genome reorganization mediates precocious myeloid differentiation of aged hematopoietic stem cells in inflammation.

Inflammation is a driving force of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) aging, causing irreversible exhaustion of functional HSCs. However, the underlying mechanism of HSCs erosion by inflammatory insult remains poorly understood. Here, we find that transient LPS exposure primes aged HSCs to undergo accelerated differentiation at the expense of self-renewal, leading to depletion of HSCs.
