Background: Atractylenolide III (ATL III) is a natural bioactive compound, that possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties. However, whether ATL III can protect against neuronal injury induced by cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) have not yet been studied. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of ATL III on neuronal injury using an oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) model in HT22 cells.

Methods: Establishment of OGD/R model to induce HT22 cell injury in vitro. Cell viability, live-dead cell staining, oxidative stress levels, and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels were detected using kits. Cell apoptosis was observed by flow cytometry, and the expression of Bax, Bcl-2, and Caspase-3 proteins was detected by western blot.

Results: ATL III significantly alleviates OGD/R-induced cell injury, as evidenced by the increased cell viability and reduced apoptosis rate. ATL III increased the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH), while reducing malondialdehyde (MDA), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. The protein expression of Bax and Caspase-3 was downregulated, while Bcl-2 expression was upregulated by ATL III.

Conclusion: ATL III as a potential therapeutic agent for reducing neuronal injury by mitigating oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation.

Background: Cardiac fibrosis, a critical factor in myocardial remodeling post-myocardial infarction (MI), can advance heart failure progression. Atractylenolide III (ATL-III), derived from Atractylodes lancea, has recognized antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects; however, its influence on cardiac fibrosis remains unclear.

Methods: MI was induced in mice by permanent ligation of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery, followed by 2 weeks of ATL-III or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • Degraded semantic memory is a key feature of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), affecting both social and general knowledge, particularly in cases of semantic dementia and anterior temporal lobe (ATL) atrophy.
  • Recent research has focused on how social-semantic knowledge is impacted in FTD, with a specific interest in the role of the right ATL compared to the left ATL.
  • A study involving various FTD types and control groups found that social and non-social semantic deficits were significantly correlated in FTD, while unilateral ATL resection led to milder impairments without clear left/right differences in knowledge.

Article Synopsis
  • Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the main treatment for adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and is influenced by individual human leukocyte antigens (HLAs).
  • A study analyzed data from 829 ATL patients who received transplants, identifying HLA-B62 as linked to lower mortality risk and HLA-B60 with higher mortality risk after transplantation.
  • The findings suggest that specific HLAs can help predict treatment outcomes for ATL patients undergoing allo-HSCT, with potential implications for patient management.

During HTLV-1 infection, the virus integrates into the host cell genome as a provirus with a single CCCTC binding protein (CTCF) binding site (vCTCF-BS), which acts as an insulator between transcriptionally active and inactive regions. Previous studies have shown that the vCTCF-BS is important for maintenance of chromatin structure, regulation of viral expression, and DNA and histone methylation. Here, we show that the vCTCF-BS also regulates viral infection and pathogenesis in a humanized (Hu) mouse model of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.
