The psychopharmacological effects of a stimulator of functions of progenitor cells of the nervous tissue STAT3 inhibitor (STAT3 Inhibitor XIV, LLL12) were studied under conditions of modeled alcoholic encephalopathy in C57BL/6 mice. The pharmacological agent corrected the parameters of exploratory behavior (characterizing predominantly cognitive activity) in the experimental animals at the late terms of observation. At the same time, the reproducibility of the conditioned passive avoidance response developed at the beginning of the course STAT3 inhibitor administration decreased. These effects developed against the background of a significant increase in the content of neural stem cells and their proliferative activity in the paraventricular zone of the brain.

Aerosol inhalation of rhIL-10 improves acute lung injury in mice by affecting pulmonary neutrophil phenotypes through neutrophil-platelet aggregates.

This study investigates the therapeutic effects of recombinant human IL-10 (rhIL-10) administered via aerosol inhalation in acute lung injury (ALI), with a particular focus on neutrophils. It explores how rhIL-10, in the presence of platelets, modulates neutrophil polarization to ameliorate acute lung injury. Initially, the ALI model established in mice demonstrated that aerosol inhalation of rhIL-10 significantly mitigated the cytokine storm in the lungs, reduced pulmonary edema, and alleviated histopathological damage to lung tissue.

Follicular dendritic cell-secreted protein (FDC-SP) is produced by follicular dendritic cells, periodontal ligament and junctional epithelium (JE). JE exists immediately apical to the bottom of the pocket and binds enamel with hemidesmosomes to protect the periodontium from bacterial infection. To analyze the transcriptional regulation of the FDC-SP gene by interleukin-6 (IL-6), we performed real-time PCR, Western blotting, immunofluorescence, luciferase (LUC) assays, gel mobility shift and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays using Ca9-22 and Sa3 gingival epithelial cells.

Background: Hepcidin's main function is to control iron availability to hematopoiesis. However, it has been shown that hepcidin may have an additional role in intestinal inflammation, as intestinal cells and leukocytes increase the production in experimental colitis and Crohn's disease.
Objective: Using an HT-29 cell as a model, we investigated the role of hepcidin in intestinal inflammation.
Targeting EZH2 in Cancer: Mechanisms, Pathways, and Therapeutic Potential.

Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is a methyltransferase involved in cell cycle regulation, cell differentiation, and cell death and plays a role in modulating the immune response. Although it mainly functions by catalyzing the tri-methylation of H3 histone on K27 (H3K27), to inhibit the transcription of target genes, EZH2 can directly methylate several transcription factors or form complexes with them, regulating their functions. EZH2 expression/activity is often dysregulated in cancer, contributing to carcinogenesis and immune escape, thereby representing an important target in anti-cancer therapy.

Cannabichromene (CBC) is one of the main cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant, and although less well known than tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), it is gaining attention for its potential therapeutic benefits. To date, CBC's known mechanisms of action include anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antidepressant, antimicrobial, neuroprotective, and anti-acne effects through TRP channel activation and the inhibition of inflammatory pathways, suggesting that it may have therapeutic potential in the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis (AD), but its exact mechanism of action remains unclear. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of CBC on Th2 cytokines along with the Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathways involved in AD pathogenesis.
