Cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC) is a significant threat to women's health. Resistance to cisplatin (DDP), a common treatment, hinders the therapeutic efficacy. Understanding the molecular basis of DDP resistance in CESC is imperative. Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) expression was evaluated through quantitative real-time-PCR and western blot in clinical samples from 30 CESC patients and human cervical epithelial cells and CESC cell lines (SiHa, C33A, and Caski). It was also evaluated through bioinformatics analysis in Timer, Ualcan, and GEPIA database. Cell viability was detected by CCK-8. Apoptosis was detected by Calcein AM/PI assay. Lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde, glutathione, Fe 2+ , and iron level were detected by kits. Protein level of JAK2, STAT3, p-JAK2, p-STAT3, ACSL4, GPX4, SLC7A11, and FTL were detected by western blot. In CESC, elevated CDKN2A expression was observed. Cisplatin exhibited a dual effect, inhibiting cell proliferation and inducing ferroptosis in CESC. CDKN2A knockdown in a cisplatin-resistant cell line suppressed proliferation and induced ferroptosis. Moreover, CDKN2A was identified as an inhibitor of erastin-induced ferroptosis. Additionally, targeting the JAK2/STAT3 pathway enhanced ferroptosis in cisplatin-resistant cells. CDKN2A could inhibit ferroptosis in CESC through activating JAK2/STAT3 pathway to modulate cisplatin resistance.

Exogenous L-fucose attenuates depression induced by chronic unpredictable stress: implicating core fucosylation has an antidepressant potential.

J Biol Chem

Electronic address:

Core fucosylation is one of the most essential modifications of the N-glycans, catalyzed by α1,6-fucosyltransferase (Fut8), which transfers fucose from guanosine 5'-diphosphate (GDP)-fucose to the innermost N-acetylglucosamine residue of N-glycans in an α1-6 linkage. Our previous studies demonstrated that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can induce a more robust neuroinflammatory response in Fut8 homozygous knockout (KO) (Fut8) and heterozygous KO (Fut8) mice contrasted to the wild-type (Fut8) mice. Exogenous administration of L-fucose suppressed LPS-induced neuroinflammation.

Neohesperidin Mitigates High-Fat-Diet-Induced Colitis In Vivo by Modulating Gut Microbiota and Enhancing SCFAs Synthesis.

Int J Mol Sci

Previous research has consistently shown that high-fat diet (HFD) consumption can lead to the development of colonic inflammation. Neohesperidin (NHP), a naturally occurring flavanone glycoside in citrus fruits, has anti-inflammatory properties. However, the efficacy and mechanism of NHP in countering prolonged HFD-induced inflammation remains unclear.

Oxidative stress refers to the phenomenon in which the redox balance of the body is disrupted in response to stimuli, leading to an excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species in vivo, which can lead to a variety of diseases. In contrast to artificial antioxidants, whose safety is controversial, natural antioxidants, which are widely available, pharmacologically active, and have little toxic side effects, are expected to be candidates for the treatment of oxidative stress-related diseases.

Background: In the past decade, immunotherapy has become a major choice for the treatment of lung cancer, yet its therapeutic efficacy is still relatively limited due to the various immune escape mechanisms of tumors. Based on this, we introduce Neo-BCV, a novel bacterial composite vaccine designed to enhance immune responses against lung cancer.

Methods: We investigated the immune enhancing effect of Neo-BCV through in vivo and in vitro experiments, including flow cytometry, RNA-seq, and Western blot.

Department of Nephrology, Medical Faculty, University Hospital Düsseldorf, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, Germany (S.A.P., I.Q., D. Arifaj, M.K., D. Argov, L.C.R., J.S.).

Background: Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), mainly known for its neuroprotective properties, belongs to the IL-6 (interleukin-6) cytokine family. In contrast to IL-6, the effects of CNTF on the vasculature have not been explored. Here, we examined the role of CNTF in AngII (angiotensin II)-induced hypertension.
