Article Abstract
Glycolytic reprogramming is an important metabolic feature in the development of pulmonary fibrosis. However, the specific mechanism of glycolysis in silicosis is still not clear. In this study, silicotic models and silica-induced macrophage were used to elucidate the mechanism of glycolysis induced by silica. Expression levels of the key enzymes in glycolysis and macrophage activation indicators were analyzed by Western blot, qRT-PCR, IHC, and IF analyses, and by using a lactate assay kit. We found that silica promotes the expression of the key glycolysis enzymes HK2, PKM2, LDHA, and macrophage activation factors iNOS, TNF-α, Arg-1, IL-10, and MCP1 in silicotic rats and silica-induced NR8383 macrophages. The enhancement of glycolysis and macrophage activation induced by silica was reduced by Ac-SDKP or siRNA- treatment. This study suggests that Ac-SDKP treatment can inhibit glycolytic reprogramming in silica-induced lung macrophages and silicosis.

Polar metabolic profiling, as well as bioenergetic assays, were used to characterize microglial responses to lipopolysaccharide, which induces a pro-inflammatory state, and interleukin-4, which is associated with an anti-inflammatory phenotype. BV2 microglial cells and primary microglia were used for these investigations. Results revealed that lipopolysaccharide-treated microglia exhibited an increased aerobic glycolytic activity measured by extracellular flux analysis, accompanied by increased levels of endogenous itaconate, a metabolite produced by the IRG1 enzyme.

This study establishes diethyl maleate (DEM) as a novel physiologically relevant oxidative stress model for meat science, uniquely recapitulating gradual glutathione depletion during natural spoilage. Using quantitative proteomics and biochemical analyses (0-48 h postmortem), we demonstrate that DEM-induced stress paradoxically enhances beef colour stability despite accelerated glycolysis (pH 5.6 ± 0.

Hypoxia represents a critical environmental stressor in aquaculture, significantly disrupting aquatic organisms' physiological homeostasis and thereby constraining the sustainable development of aquaculture industries. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying hypoxia-induced metabolic regulation in aquatic species, this study employed hybrid yellow catfish ( ♀ × ♂) as a model organism to systematically investigate the multidimensional physiological responses in brain, liver, and muscle tissues under hypoxia (0.7 mg/L) and reoxygenation (7.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are prominent constituents of solid tumors, and their prevalence is often associated with poor clinical outcomes. These highly adaptable immune cells undergo dynamic functional changes within the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), engaging in reciprocal interactions with malignant cells. This bidirectional communication facilitates concurrent phenotypic transformation: tumor cells shift toward invasive mesenchymal states, whereas TAMs develop immunosuppressive, pro-tumorigenic traits.
