Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers used mouse-derived macrophages and THP-1 cells to assess CDDO-Me's effects on various inflammasome activators and measured key inflammatory markers.
  • * Results showed that CDDO-Me effectively reduced the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in lab tests and significantly decreased inflammation and liver damage in mouse models of ALI, indicating its potential therapeutic role.

Mitochondrial-Derived Signaling Mediates Differentiation of Parietal Epithelial Cells into Podocytes.

Antioxid Redox Signal

October 2024

Department of Nephrology, Molecular Cell Laboratory for Kidney Disease, Renji Hospital, Shanghai Peritoneal Dialysis Research Center, Uremia Diagnosis and Treatment Center, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Parietal epithelial cells (PECs) can act as stem cells in the kidney glomeruli, differentiating into podocytes after podocyte loss, but the mechanisms of this differentiation are not well understood.
  • The differentiation process is marked by an increase in podocyte-specific markers like WT-1 and synaptopodin, which is hindered by a mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) inhibitor.
  • Key signaling molecules, Nrf2 and Brg1, play a significant role in promoting PECs' differentiation into podocytes, and their modulation can influence the efficiency of this process, indicating that mitochondrial ROS is crucial in this context.

Macrophage ILF3 promotes abdominal aortic aneurysm by inducing inflammatory imbalance in male mice.

Nat Commun

August 2024

The Key Laboratory of Cardiovascular Remodeling and Function Research, Chinese Ministry of Education, Chinese National Health Commission and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Department of Cardiology, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, Jinan, China.

Imbalance of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses plays a crucial role in the progression of abdominal aortic aneurysms. ILF3, a known modulator of the innate immune response, is involved in cardiovascular diseases. This study aims to investigate the role of ILF3 in abdominal aortic aneurysm formation.

The effective treatment of acute lung injury (ALI) remains a significant challenge. Patients with ALI demonstrate an abundance of proinflammatory mediators in both bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and circulating plasma. Bardoxolone methyl (BM) is a semi-synthetic triterpenoid derived from oleanolic acid, a natural product known for its ability to inhibit proinflammatory signaling.

New CDDO Arylboronate Ester Derivatives with High Selectivity and Low Toxicity.

J Med Chem

August 2024

State Key Laboratory of Natural Medicines, Department of Natural Medicinal Chemistry, School of Traditional Chinese Pharmacy, China Pharmaceutical University, 639 Longmian Avenue, Nanjing 211198, China.

As an oleanolic acid derivative, CDDO-Me lacks selectivity for tumors. Based on the high reactive oxygen species (ROS) level in cancer cells, compound was selected from 17 new CDDO arylboronate ester derivatives. A preliminary study revealed that displayed the highest selectivity for cancer cells.
