Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) constitute a characteristic class of antinutritional metabolites that are found in certain Solanum species. Despite the considerable studies on SGA biosynthesis, the mechanisms of crosstalk between hormone signaling pathways that regulate SGA content still remain to be elucidated. Here, we performed a metabolic genome-wide association study (mGWAS) based on the levels of SGA metabolites and identified SlERF.H6 as a negative regulator of bitter-SGA biosynthesis. SlERF.H6 repressed the expression of SGA biosynthetic glycoalkaloid metabolism (GAME) genes and caused a subsequent decrease in the abundance of bitter SGAs. Furthermore, SlERF.H6 were shown to act downstream of GAME9, a regulator of SGA biosynthesis in tomato. We also uncovered the interplay between ethylene and gibberellin (GA) signaling in regulating SGA biosynthesis. SlERF.H6, acting as a downstream component in ethylene signaling, modulated GA content by inhibiting SlGA2ox12 expression. Increasing levels of endogenous GA and GA in SlERF.H6-OE could inhibit of GA on SGA biosynthesis. Additionally, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) treatment decreased the stability of SlERF.H6, weakening its inhibition on GAME genes and SlGA2ox12, and caused bitter-SGA accumulation. Our findings reveal a key role of SlERF.H6 in the regulation of SGA biosynthesis through the coordinated ethylene-gibberellin signaling.

Background And Hypothesis: It is unclear if low birth weight (LBW), preterm birth and small for gestational age (SGA) could synergistically cause chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). This cohort study was conducted to examine their individual and combined impacts on the development of CKD and ESKD in childhood.
Methods: From the Taiwan Maternal and Child Health Database, we identified 1 477 128 newborns born between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2016.

Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) are specialized metabolites primarily produced by Solanaceae plants such as potatoes and tomatoes. Notably, α-solanine and α-chaconine are recognized as toxic substances in potatoes. While the biosynthetic pathways of SGAs are largely understood, the final steps of α-solanine and α-chaconine biosynthesis remained elusive.

Background: Individuals born preterm at very low birthweight (VLBW, < 1500 g) tend to attain a smaller adult body size compared with term-born peers but less is known regarding specific body composition characteristics.
Objectives: We aimed to assess whether adults born at VLBW have less beneficial body composition characteristics, potentially mediating the association between VLBW birth and cardiometabolic disease. Sibling controls were used to account for the potential influence of shared genetic and/or lifestyle factors.

Breast cancer remains a significant challenge in oncology, highlighting the need for alternative therapeutic strategies that target necroptosis to overcome resistance to conventional therapies. Recent investigations into natural compounds have identified 8,12-dimethoxysanguinarine (SG-A) from Eomecon chionantha as a potential necroptosis inducer. This study presents the first computational exploration of SG-A interactions with key necroptotic proteins-RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL-through molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD), density functional theory (DFT), and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) analyses.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of metabolic abnormalities, including visceral obesity, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance. In this regard, visceral white adipose tissue (vWAT) plays a critical role, influencing energy metabolism, immunomodulation, and oxidative stress. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are key players in these processes within vWAT.
