Article Abstract
Background: In recent years, the incidence rate of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has ascended with the increasing number of metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes, which will bring great medical burden to society. At present, multiple scientific experiments have found that the CCR4-NOT complex can participate in regulating obesity and energy metabolism. This study is designed to explore the role and mechanism of CCR4-NOT transcription complex subunit 7 (CNOT7), a subunit of the CCR4-NOT complex in liver lipid deposition.
Methods: To establish the NAFLD cell model, palmitic acid (PA) was utilized to stimulate HepG2 cells and LO2 cells, promoting intracellular lipid deposition. CNOT7 was knockdown by siRNA and lentivirus to evaluate the effect of CNOT7 in NAFLD.
Results: Our results demonstrated that the expression of CNOT7 was increased in the NAFLD cell model. After knocking down CNOT7, the lipid deposition declined in HepG2 or LO2 cells treated by PA reduced. We found the lipid synthesis genes and the lipid uptake and transport factors in the CNOT7 knockdown group were significantly downregulated compared to the non-knockdown group. Furthermore, knockdown of CNOT7 might promote fatty acid oxidation.
Conclusion: Knocking down CNOT7 can improve lipid deposition and CNOT7 may be a potential therapeutic target for NAFLD.

Radioresistance poses a significant obstacle in the management of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), often diminishing the effectiveness of radiotherapy and leading to treatment failures and adverse clinical outcomes. This study develops radioresistant NSCLC models, revealing that Secreted Protein Acidic and Rich in Cysteine (SPARC) as a crucial modulator of this resistance, through the inhibition of ferroptosis. To address this radioresistance, we propose a novel ferroptosis-oriented radiosensitization strategy specifically designed to enhance radiotherapy effectiveness in radioresistant NSCLC.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe traumatic disorder of the central nervous system, often resulting in partial or complete loss of sensory and motor functions. Ferroptosis, a lipid peroxidation-driven apoptotic process triggered by iron overload, has emerged as a novel form of programmed cell death and a focal point in post-SCI cell death research. Exosomes (Exo), as delivery vehicles, exhibit multiple advantages, including superior encapsulation capacity, high targeting efficiency, and enhanced blood-brain barrier penetration to reach the central nervous system.

Objective: Traditional Chinese medicine exhibits positive therapeutic effects as a primary or adjunctive treatment for diabetic nephropathy (DN). This study aimed to evaluate the impact and mechanism of action of Xiaoke decoction (XKD), a traditional Chinese medicine, on renal function in DN rats.
Methods: A rat model of DN was established, and the rats were divided into five groups (n = 7 per group): normal control group (NC), DN model group (DN), low-dose XKD treatment group (DN + XKD-L, 1.
