Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that severely affects the gastrointestinal tract and is difficult to cure. This study explored the mechanism by which human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (HucMSC-Ex) alleviate IBD through O-GlcNAc glycosylation modification and the expression of related proteins. The study analyzed the effects of HucMSC-Ex on the inhibition of pro-inflammatory factors and promotion of intestinal epithelial cells regeneration in vitro and in vivo, with a focus on the role of the O-GlcNAc glycosylation of the RACK1 protein. The findings indicated that HucMSC-Ex reverses epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by upregulating O-GlcNAc glycosylation levels and effectively alleviates IBD symptoms and inflammatory responses in mouse intestinal epithelial cells. By modulating O-GlcNAc glycosylation, HucMSC-Ex exhibits significant therapeutic potential in immune regulation and gut microbiota remodeling, offering new perspectives for IBD treatment.

KLHL proteins are critical for maintaining proteostasis in a variety of tissues and are mutated in human diseases, including cancer, neurodegeneration, and familial hyperkalemic hypertension. However, the regulation of KLHL proteins remains incompletely understood.

As one of the most important post-translational modifications, glycosylation participates in various cellular activities in organisms and is closely associated with many pathogeneses. It has been reported that glycosylation affects liver, spinal cord, and heart tissue regeneration. The zebrafish fin has become a valuable model due to its high regenerative capacity.

Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating motor neuron disease. Protein O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification has been found to affect the processing of several important proteins implicated in ALS. However, the overall level and cellular localization of O-GlcNAc during ALS progression are incompletely understood, and large-scale profiling of O-GlcNAcylation sites in this context remains unexplored.

Recent studies have reported direct antitumor effects of mannose, a natural six-carbon monosaccharide, in the treatment of cancer. Herein, we utilized cancer cell lines, animal models, organoids and experimental techniques such as multi-omics and cellular experiments to investigate the regulatory effects of mannose on NSCLC growth and the inflammatory microenvironment. We demonstrated that mannose can inhibit cancer cell growth, inflammatory cell infiltration and inflammatory cytokine expression in NSCLC tissue, and enhance the antitumor efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor both and .
