Oxidative stress biomarkers have been associated with both acute and chronic health outcomes. However, traditional methods analyze different biomarkers separately, resulting in complex sample preparation, high sample consumption, lengthy processing time, and limited comparability. In this study, we presented a newly developed and validated method for the simultaneous determination of oxidative stress from multiple perspectives (DNA, lipids, and antioxidants). Using a one-step solid-phase extraction and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple-quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS), we measured four oxidative stress related biomarkers in urine simultaneously, within a run time of only 12 min. These biomarkers included 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), 6-sulfatoxymelatonin (aMT6s), 8-isoprostaglandin-F (8-isoPGF), and 11-dehydro thromboxane B (11-DH-TXB). The calibration curves showed wide linear ranges (0.4-800 ng/mL for 8-OHdG, 0.2-600 ng/mL for aMT6s, 0.4-600 ng/mL for 8-isoPGF, and 0.4-600 ng/mL for 11-DH-TXB), with r values above 0.9932 for all analytes. The method demonstrated excellent sensitivity, with detection limits below 0.12 ng/mL, and good precision, with intra- and inter-day coefficients of variation ranging from 1.2 % to 14.4 %. We applied this method to urine samples from two populations living at different altitudes and found significantly higher levels of both 8-OHdG and 11-DH-TXB in the high-altitude group, likely due to hypobaric hypoxia. In the future, this new method could be applied in large-scale epidemiological studies to investigate biological mechanisms of oxidative stress in health risks or for clinical diagnosis.

Neuron-derived clone 77 (Nur77), a member of the orphan nuclear receptor family, is expressed and activated rapidly in response to diverse physiological and pathological stimuli. It exerts complex biological functions, including roles in the nervous system, genome integrity, cell differentiation, homeostasis, oxidative stress, autophagy, aging, and infection. Recent studies suggest that Nur77 agonists alleviate symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target in such conditions.

Copper exposure poses potential detrimental effects on both public and ecosystem health. Spermidine, an antioxidant, has shown promise in reducing oxidative stress and inflammation within the liver. However, its specific role in mitigating copper-induced hepatic cuproptosis and disturbances in copper metabolism remains unexplored.

Orchestrated changes in cell arrangements and cell-to-cell contacts are susceptible to cellular stressors during central nervous system development. Effects of mitochondrial complex I inhibition on cell-to-cell contacts have been studied in vascular and intestinal structures; however, its effects on developing neuronal cells are largely unknown. We investigated the effects of the classical mitochondrial stressor and complex I inhibitor, rotenone, on the architecture of neural rosettes-radially organized neuronal progenitor cells (NPCs)-differentiated from human-induced pluripotent stem cells.

Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) often lead to semi or complete loss of motor, sensory and autonomic functions. Although autografts are still the best option for PNI repair, their use is restricted due to the morbidity and availability of donor nerves. Because electrospun scaffolds may replicate the structure of native extracellular matrix (ECM), they provide a viable alternative.

Role of Immune Cells in Perivascular Adipose Tissue in Vascular Injury in Hypertension.

Hypertension and Vascular Research Unit, Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research, Quebec, Canada (O.B., P.P., E.L.S.).

Hypertension is associated with vascular injury characterized by vascular dysfunction, remodeling, and stiffening, which contributes to end-organ damage leading to cardiovascular events and potentially death. Innate (macrophages and dendritic cells), innate-like (γδ T cells) and adaptive immune cells (T and B cells) play a role in hypertension and vascular injury. Perivascular adipose tissue that is the fourth layer of the blood vessel wall is an important homeostatic regulator of vascular tone.
