Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is caused by a deficiency of alfa-iduronidase (IDUA), which leads to intralysosomal accumulation of glycosaminoglycans. Some studies have revealed that oxidative stress plays an important role in MPS I. However, the mechanisms by which these alterations occur are still not fully understood. The aim of this study was to analyze genomic instability in blood cells from murine model of MPS I by single cell gel (comet) assay and micronucleus test. The results pointed out genetic damage in blood cells as depicted by the single cell gel (comet) assay results. By contrast, no increase of micronucleated cells were found in mouse blood cells when compared to negative control. Taken together, our results suggest that IDUA deficiency induces genomic damage in blood cells. Certainly, this finding offers new insights into the mechanisms underlying the relation between IDUA deficiency and clinical manifestations that can occur in MPS I patients.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) carry intact tumor molecular information, making them invaluable for personalized cancer monitoring. However, conventional capture methods, relying on passive diffusion, suffer from low efficiency due to insufficient collision frequency, severely limiting clinical utility. Herein, a magnetic micromotor-functionalized DNA-array hunter (MMDA hunter) is developed by integrating enzyme-propelled micromotors, magnetic nanoparticles, and nucleic acid aptamers into distinct functional partitions of a DNA tile self-assembly structure.

Adenosine A receptors (AARs) have shown promising therapeutic properties despite their controversial role in modulating stroke outcome. However, the temporal evolution of cerebral AARs density after cerebral ischemia and its subsequent neuroinflammatory response have been scarcely explored. In this study, the expression of AARs after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was evaluated in rats by positron emission tomography (PET) with [C]SCH442416 and immunohistochemistry (IHC).

Objectives: Acute lung injury (ALI) is an acute respiratory failure syndrome characterized by impaired gas exchange. Due to the lack of effective targeted drugs, it is associated with high mortality and poor prognosis. (TW) has demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity in the treatment of various diseases.

Diet regimes rich in fruits and vegetables have been adopted as effective strategies for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Here, we identified miR166e, a plant miRNA abundantly present in fruits and vegetables, as a functional agent that ameliorates T2DM in a mouse model. Orally administered miR166e oligomers passed through digestion, accumulated in the intestines at 14.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of avitinib for suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activation and alleviating septic shock and explore the underlying mechanism.
Methods: Mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM), human monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) isolated from healthy volunteers were pre-treated with avitinib, followed by activation of the canonical NLRP3 inflammasome using agonists including nigericin, monosodium urate (MSU) crystals, or adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Non-canonical NLRP3 inflammasome activation was induced intracellular transfection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
