Acute lung injury (ALI), which poses a significant public health threat, is commonly caused by sepsis. ALI is associated with permeability and glycolysis changes in pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells. Our study demonstrates that heparin-binding protein (HBP), released from neutrophils during sepsis, exacerbates endothelial permeability and glycolysis, thereby triggering ALI. Through coimmunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry, TRIM21 was identified as a HBP interaction partner. Notably, HBP enhances the protein stability of TRIM21 by inhibiting K48 ubiquitination. TRIM21 binds to and promotes K63-linked ubiquitination of P65, facilitating its nuclear translocation. TRIM21 regulates HPMEC permeability and glycolysis in a manner dependent on P65 nuclear translocation. HBP stabilizes TRIM21 and enhances TRIM21 interactions with P65. Rescue experiments conducted in vivo and in vitro demonstrate that modulation of endothelial permeability and glycolysis by HBP is predominantly mediated through the TRIM21-P65 axis. Our results suggest that targeting the HBP/TRIM21/P65 axis is a novel therapeutic strategy to ameliorate ALI.

Background: Secondary injury following traumatic brain injury (TBI) involves neuroinflammation, immune cell infiltration, and metabolic dysregulation, leading to progressive neurological damage. This study evaluates the potential of esketamine, an NMDA receptor antagonist, to modulate immune responses, inhibit glycolysis, and mitigate secondary brain injury in a TBI mouse model.
Methods: Male C57BL/6J mice were subjected to controlled cortical impact to induce TBI.

Waterlogging substantially hampers the growth and development of plants. The escalating trajectory of global climate change is heightening both the frequency and intensity of waterlogging events. Peach trees are particularly vulnerable to waterlogging, with the resultant hypoxia in the rhizosphere profoundly influencing their growth and productivity.

As intrinsic immune cells in the central nervous system, microglia play a crucial role in maintaining brain homeostasis. Microglia can transition from homeostasis to various responsive states in reaction to different external stimuli, undergoing corresponding alterations in glucose metabolism. In neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and multiple sclerosis (MS), microglial glucose metabolic reprogramming is widespread.

Deferoxamine (DFO) is an FDA-approved naturally occurring iron chelator commonly used to treat transfusion-induced iron overload. The abundant and flexible hydroxamic acid groups in DFO enable exceptional iron binding capacity and high protein binding via hydrogen bonding interactions. However, the applications of DFO to sequester intracellular iron and to deliver proteins inside cells are limited due to poor membrane-permeability.
