The conversion of endogenous arachidonic acid (AA) by polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was studied before (D0) and one day (D1) after antiinflammatory drug therapy. The biosynthesis of 5,15-diHETE and lipoxins (LXS), were investigated ex vivo, after PMN stimulation by ionophore A23187 without exogenous addition of 15-HETE. The eicosanoids were resolved by RP-HPLC and simultaneously detected at 246 and 302 nm respectively. Large amounts of 5,15-diHETE (50 to 400 ng/10(7) PMN) and significant levels of LXS (from 2 to 20 ng/10(7) PMN) were produced with individual differences between donors. Metabolite levels varied between patients but this work showed for the first time a linear relationship between the amounts of 5,15-diHETE and LXS. Moreover LXS production after treatment may be related to long-term clinical improvement of patients.

Single-cell multi-dimensional analysis enables more profound biological insight, providing a comprehensive understanding of cell physiological processes. Due to limited cellular contents, the lack of protein and metabolite amplification ability, and the complex cytoplasmic environment, the simultaneous analysis of intracellular proteins and metabolites remains challenging. Herein, we proposed a multi-dimensional bio mass cytometry platform characterized by protein signal conversion and amplification through an orthogonal exogenous enzymatic reaction.

Sea urchins, integral to marine ecosystems and valued as a delicacy in Asia and Europe, contain physiologically important long-chain (>C) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in their gonads, including arachidonic acid (ARA, 20:4n-6), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3) and unusual non-methylene-interrupted fatty acids (NMI-FA) such as 20:2. Although these fatty acids may partially be derived from their diet, such as macroalgae, the present study on has uncovered multiple genes encoding enzymes involved in long-chain PUFA biosynthesis. Specifically, 3 fatty acid desaturases (FadsA, FadsC1 and FadsC2) and 13 elongation of very-long-chain fatty acids proteins (Elovl-like, Elovl1/7-like, Elovl2/5-like, Elovl4-like, Elovl8-like and Elovl6-like A-H) were identified in their genome and transcriptomes.

Reactive oxygen species with evoked immunotherapy holds tremendous promise for cancer treatment but has limitations due to its dependence on exogenous excitation and/or endogenous HO and O. Here we report a versatile oxidizing pentavalent bismuth(V) nanoplatform (NaBiO-PEG) can generate reactive oxygen species in an excitation-free and HO- and O-independent manner. Upon exposure to the tumor microenvironment, NaBiO-PEG undergoes continuous H-accelerated hydrolysis with •OH and O generation through electron transfer-mediated Bi-to-Bi conversion and lattice oxygen transformation.

-Cresol, an environmental contaminant and endogenous metabolite derived primarily from the conversion of l-tyrosine by intestinal microflora, is gaining increasing attention, due to its potential impact on human health. Recent studies have highlighted elevated levels of -cresol and its metabolites, including -cresyl sulfate and -cresyl glucuronide, in various populations, suggesting a correlation with neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative conditions. While the role of this compound as a uremic toxin is well established, its presence and concentration within the central nervous system (CNS) remain largely unexplored.

To effectively mitigate global eutrophication in lakes, regulating sedimentary phosphorus release remains a primary strategy. Enhancing the adsorption and stabilization performance of passivating agents is integral to addressing endogenous phosphorus pollution in aquatic systems. This study presents a novel aerogel with a high specific surface area (663.
