Purpose: Within human skeletal muscle, statin treatment leads to elevated levels of the glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper (GILZ). Further, GILZ mediates the muscle-related side effects of statins. Physical exercise leads to GILZ suppression, in a mechanosensitive manner. Given that statin treatment is rarely tolerated by habitually exercising individuals due to statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS), it appears that the opposing regulation of GILZ facilitates this detrimental interaction of two key measures of cardiovascular prevention, specifically for exercise modalities with high muscle strain. Similarly, opposing regulation of atrophy associated genes (atrogenes) may be a further mechanism. If confirmed, these results might have implications for the exercise prescription of statin-users.
Methods: A systematic search of the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) repository for studies reporting the acute effects of either endurance (END), conventional resistance (RT), or eccentric resistance training (ECC) was conducted. GILZ, as well as the expression of pivotal atrogenes (e.g., muscle atrophy F-box, cathepsin L, etc.) were quantified.
Results: 15 studies with 204 participants (22 females; 182 males) were included. RT resulted in the highest GILZ suppression, significantly differing from the expressional change after END ( - 0.46 ± 1.11 vs. - 0.07 ± 1.08), but not from ECC ( - 0.46 ± 1.11 vs. - 0.46 ± 0.95). Similar results were seen for various atrogenes.
Conclusion: Our results strengthen the assumption that mechanical loading can be considered a key mediator of exercise-induced changes in GILZ and atrogene expression.

Background And Aim: Given the role of Receptor for Activated C Kinase 1 (RACK1) in both immune cell activation and in the maintenance of the intestinal epithelial barrier integrity, we investigated whether it was involved in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Methods: RACK1 expression was analyzed in intestinal mucosal samples of healthy and IBD patients, in mice with chemically-induced colitis and in diseased in vitro 2D and 3D co-culture models by luciferase assay, RT-qPCR, Western blotting, immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry. Based on our finding that glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper (GILZ or tsc22d3) positively correlates with RACK1 expression in IBD patients, GILZ knock-out mice and cell silencing experiments were performed.

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) have a complex, poorly understood pathogenesis and lack long-lasting effective treatments. Recent research suggests that intestinal fungal dysbiosis may play a role in IBD development. This study investigates the effects of the glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper protein (GILZp)", known for its protective role in gut mucosa, and a yeast extract (Py) with prebiotic properties, either alone or combined, in DSS-induced colitis.

Objective: Critically ill patients, including those with brain injuries (BI), are frequently hospitalized in an intensive care unit (ICU). As with other critical states, an adequate stress response is essential for survival. Research on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal gland (HPA) axis function in BI has primarily focused on assessing ACTH and cortisol levels.

Article Synopsis
- GILZ is a protein that helps control how cancer cells spread (metastasis) in certain types of cancer, especially non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
- In this study, scientists found that while GILZ doesn't stop cancer cells from growing, it does stop them from spreading to other parts of the body.
- Another protein called SIRT6 helps keep GILZ stable so it can work better against cancer cell movement, making GILZ a potential target for new cancer treatments.
