Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is characterized by metabolic dysfunction and inflammation burden, involving a significant enhancement of cellular glycolytic activity. Here, we elucidate how a positive feedback loop in liver macrophages drives MASLD pathogenesis and demonstrate that disrupting this cycle mitigates metabolic stress and macrophage M1 activation during MASLD. We detect elevated expression of hexokinase 2 (HK2) and H3K18la in liver macrophages from patients with MASLD and MASLD mice.

Objectives: To observe whether electroacupuncture (EA) can inhibit the inflammatory response via down-regulating hexokinase 2 (HK2) mediated Warburg effect in rats with acute lung injury (ALI).
Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control, model and EA groups, with 12 rats in each group. The ALI model was established by injection of lipopolysaccharides (LPS, 5 mg/mL, 1 mL/kg) into the tail vein.

Background: The hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), a master transcription factor for adaptive responses to hypoxia, possesses two transcriptional activation domains [TAD, N-terminal (NTAD) and C-terminal (CTAD)]. However, the exact effects of HIF-1α CTAD in chronic kidney disease (CKD) are poorly understood.
Methods: Here, two independent mouse models of hypoxia-induced CKD, including ischemia/reperfusion-induced kidney injury and unilateral ureteral obstruction-induced nephropathy, were established using HIF-1α CTAD knockout (HIF-1α CTAD) mice.

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is an important pathological basis for degenerative spinal diseases and is involved in mitophagy dysfunction. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying mitophagy regulation in IDD remain unclear. This study aimed to clarify the role of DJ-1 in regulating mitophagy during IDD pathogenesis.
