AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates how altered levels of O-GlcNAc influence damage to alveolar type II cells under hyperoxia, linking it to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).
  • Researchers treated RLE-6TN cells with inhibitors and metabolic donors to assess changes in cell viability, metabolism, and apoptosis caused by hyperoxia.
  • Findings indicate that reduced O-GlcNAc levels contribute to cell injury, while inhibiting its synthesis may protect against hyperoxia-induced damage and improve cell function.

Article Abstract

Background: The level of linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) has been proved to be a sensor of cell state, but its relationship with hyperoxia-induced alveolar type 2 epithelial cells injure and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) has not been clarified. In this study, we evaluated if these effects ultimately led to functional damage in hyperoxia-induced alveolar cells.

Methods: We treated RLE-6TN cells at 85% hyperoxia for 0, 24 and 48 h with Thiamet G (TG), an OGA inhibitor; OSMI-1 (OS), an OGT inhibitor; or with UDP-GlcNAc, which is involved in synthesis of O-GlcNAc as a donor. The metabolic rerouting, cell viability and apoptosis resulting from the changes in O-GlcNAc glycosyltransferase levels were evaluated in RLE-6TN cells after hyperoxia exposure. We constructed rat Park2 overexpression and knockdown plasmmids for in vitro verification and Co-immunoprecipitation corroborated the binding of Parkin and O-GlcNAc. Finally, we assessed morphological detection in neonatal BPD rats with TG and OS treatment.

Results: We found a decrease in O-GlcNAc content and levels of its metabolic enzymes in RLE-6TN cells under hyperoxia. However, the inhibition of OGT function with OSMI-1 ameliorated hyperoxia-induced lung epithelial cell injury, enhanced cell metabolism and viability, reduced apoptosis, and accelerated the cell proliferation. Mitochondrial homeostasis was affected by O-GlcNAc and regulated Parkin.

Conclusion: The results revealed that the decreased O-GlcNAc levels and increased O-GlcNAcylation of Parkin might cause hyperoxia-induced alveolar type II cells injurys.

Exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter of <10 μm (PM) is a well-established health hazard. There is increasing evidence that geogenic (Earth-derived) particles can induce adverse biological effects upon inhalation, though there is high variability in particle bioreactivity that is associated with particle source and physicochemical properties. In this study, we investigated physicochemical properties and biological reactivity of volcanic ash from the April 2021 eruption of La Soufrière volcano, St.

Clinical manifestations and molecular genetics of seven patients with Niemann-Pick type-C: a case series with a novel variant.

J Pediatr Endocrinol Metab

Department of Pediatric Metabolism and Ankara University Rare Diseases Application and Research Center, Ankara University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Türkiye.

Objectives: Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) is a rare, autosomal recessive, neurodegenerative disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the or genes, leading to lysosomal lipid accumulation. NPC has an incidence of 1 in 100,000 live births and presents with a wide range of symptoms affecting visceral organs and the central nervous system. We aim to describe the diverse clinical presentations of NPC through case studies.

Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, Eastman Institute for Oral Health, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York, USA.

Background: Gingival recession defects (GRDs) pose functional and esthetic concerns and may be associated with unfavorable tooth positions. Surgically facilitated orthodontic treatment (SFOT) with clear aligners can be a valuable option for adults with severe malocclusion and GRDs.

Methods: A 28-year-old male presented with severe dental crowding, Class III dental malocclusion, localized tooth crossbites, and tapered maxillary arch.

Background: Pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury (PIRI) is a major cause of fatality post-lung transplantation. Though some long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been studied in acute lung injury (ALI), their effects on PIRI remain undefined. The present study aims to explore the underlying mechanism of small nucleolar RNA host gene 16 (SNHG16) in PIRI.

Introduction: In vitro screening of macrophages for drug-induced effects, such as phospholipidosis, is useful for detecting potentially problematic compounds in the preclinical development of oral inhaled products. High-content image analysis (HCIA) is a multi-parameter approach for cytotoxicity screening. This study provides new insights into HCIA-derived response patterns of murine J774A.
