Navelina oranges () are rich in phytonutrients and bioactive compounds, especially flavonoids like hesperidin. This study investigates the anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic properties of hesperidin (HE) and a polyphenol mixture from Navelina oranges (OE) in human hepatocytes (Hepa-RG) and hepatic stellate cells (LX-2), in order to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. In Hepa-RG cells, HE treatment increased expression of cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2R), which was associated with down-regulation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (p38 MAPK) but had minimal impact on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) levels.

Radiotherapy is a critical treatment for cancer but poses significant risks to ovarian tissue, particularly in young females, leading to premature ovarian failure (POF). This study examines the therapeutic potential of etoricoxib nanostructured lipid carriers (ETO-NLC) in mitigating radiation-induced ovarian damage in female rats. Twenty-four female rats were randomly assigned to four groups: a control group receiving normal saline, a group exposed to a single dose of whole-body gamma radiation (6 Gy), a group treated with etoricoxib (10 mg/kg) post-radiation, and a group treated with ETO-NLC for 14 days following radiation.

, a member of the PAT family, is expressed in both adipocytes and steroidogenic cells. In this study, we used cell transfection technology combined with transcriptome sequencing to investigate the regulatory mechanism of in goose follicular GCs. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis revealed that in the four groups (phGC: over_vs_over-NC; hGC: over_vs_over-NC; phGC: si_vs_si-NC; hGC: si_vs_si-NC), most differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were significantly enriched ( < 0.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is prevalent among older cats. The transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) pathway is associated with renal fibrosis. TGF-β1 signaling through the non-canonical/smad-independent pathway activates mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling, which is linked to fibrosis and apoptosis.

can modulate host immune mechanisms through excretory-secretory products (ESP). As one of the components of ESP, it is unknown whether Abelson tyrosine protein kinase (Abl) is involved in parasite-host immune interaction. To investigate the immunoregulatory function of Abl in , we cloned and expressed the gigantica Abl protein and assessed its effect on specific immune functions of buffalo peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).
