Epstein-Barr virus latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) activates NF-kappaB signaling pathways through two C-terminal regions, CTAR1 and CTAR2. Previous studies have demonstrated that BS69, a multidomain cellular protein, regulates LMP1/CTAR2-mediated NF-kappaB activation by interfering with the complex formation between TRADD and LMP1/CTAR2. Here, we found that BS69 directly interacted with the LMP1/CTAR1 domain and regulated LMP1/CTAR1-mediated NF-kappaB activation and subsequent IL-6 production. Regarding the mechanisms involved, we found that BS69 directly interacted with TRAF3, a negative regulator of NF-kappaB activation. Furthermore, small-interfering RNA-mediated knockdown experiments revealed that TRAF3 was involved in the BS69-mediated suppression of LMP1/CTAR1-induced NF-kappaB activation.

This research emphasized the extraction and separation of polysaccharides derived from Syzygium jambos (L.) Alston (PSJAP-5), as well as analyses of their structural characteristics and immunomodulatory activities. This study initially employed response surface methodology to determine the extraction conditions of polysaccharides.

The A20 binding inhibitor of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB)-1 (ABIN-1) serves as a ubiquitin sensor and autophagy receptor, crucial for modulating inflammation and cell death. Our previous in vitro investigation identified the LC3-interacting region (LIR) motifs 1 and 2 of ABIN-1 as key mitophagy regulators. This study aimed to explore the in vivo biological significance of ABIN1-LIR domains using a novel CRISPR-engineered ABIN1-ΔLIR1/2 mouse model, which lacks both LIR motifs.

Background: Heat illness is a dangerous condition marked by a widespread inflammatory response. Although Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth and its derivatives are clinically used, their mechanisms remain unclear.
Methods: 11 heat illness patients and 14 healthy volunteers from Southwest Medical University Affiliated Hospital were enrolled.

Acute or chronic liver damage can result in Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE), a potentially fatal neuropsychiatric condition that leads to cerebral and neurological alterations. Dapagliflozin (DAPA), an orally active Sodium/Glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor with long duration of action. The study aim was to evaluate the potential protective impact of DAPA against HE caused by Thioacetamide (TAA) in rats.

Hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress and inflammation critically impair diabetic bone defect repair. Here, a radially oriented microchannel scaffold (D-GSH@QZ) was developed via a directional freezing technique integrated with photo-cross-linking strategies. The scaffold was fabricated from gelatin methacryloyl, silk fibroin methacryloyl, and nanohydroxyapatite (HAp) to mimic the natural bone matrix, while incorporating quercetin-loaded ZIF-8 nanoparticles (Qu@ZIF-8) for pathological microenvironment modulation.
