Associations of cathepsins with pulmonary arterial hypertension mediated by circulating metabolites: A Mendelian randomization study.

Medicine (Baltimore)

January 2025

National Clinical Research Center for Geriatric Disorders, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, China.

The correlation between cathepsins and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is well-established, but the causative link between them remains uncertain. This study aimed to explore the causal role of circulating metabolites mediating cathepsins in PAH using Mendelian randomization (MR). A 2-sample 2-step MR method was used to identify causal relationship between cathepsins and PAH; causal relationship between circulating metabolites and PAH; and mediated effects of these circulating metabolites.

The molecular receptor NKBB enhances the persistence and anti-hepatocellular carcinoma activity of GPC3 CAR-T cells.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have encouraging results in the treatment of hematological malignancies. However, CAR-T therapy still faces numerous challenges against solid tumors, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), owing to heterogeneous antigen expression in tumor cells, limited persistence of CAR-T cells, etc. Therefore, to treat HCC more effectively, we connected the molecular receptor NKBB to a second-generation glypican-3 (GPC3) CAR to construct GC3328z-NKBB CAR-T cells, which have double specific targets of GPC3 and NKG2DLs (natural killer group 2, member D ligands), dual co-stimulation of CD28 and 41BB, and a single CD3ζ chain.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the central nervous system (CNS). There is a significant delay in diagnosing MS as the symptoms and tests overlap with other diseases. Blood-based biomarkers, which quantify fragments of proteins involved in MS pathophysiology, have the potential as diagnostic biomarkers.

In this study, we selected , one of the primary insect pests of alfalfa, as the experimental insect and infected it with . Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses were conducted to explore alterations in gene expression and metabolic processes in at 48, 96, and 144 h post infection with . The transcriptomic analysis unveiled that infection boosted immune responses in tubercula, affecting carbohydrate metabolism, cytochrome P450 activity, lysosome function, apoptosis regulation, phagosome formation, glutathione metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and pathogen response pathways.

Opposite effects of sevoflurane at high and low concentration on the airway inflammation in juvenile asthma rats: A TMT-based proteomics analysis study.

Int Immunopharmacol

January 2025

Department of Anesthesiology, Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University, Zunyi, Guizhou, China; Translational Neurology Laboratory, Affiliated Hospital of ZunYi Medical University, Zunyi, China. Electronic address:

Background: The incidence of sevoflurane-related adverse respiratory events in children with asthma is notably high. During different phases of sevoflurane anesthesia, asthmatic children's airways are exposed to varying concentrations of the anesthetic. However, the specific effects of different concentrations of sevoflurane on the developing airways with asthmatic hyperreactivity have not been systematically studied.
