Article Abstract
Background: Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) is a key contributor to vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) and is typically associated with blood-brain barrier (BBB) damage. This study investigates the pathological mechanisms underlying CCH-induced neurovascular unit (NVU) alterations.
Methods: A mouse model of CCH was established using the bilateral common carotid artery stenosis (BCAS) procedure. Decreased cerebral blood flow (CBF) and impaired BBB integrity were assessed. Brain microvessel (BMV)-specific transcriptome profiles were analyzed using RNA-seq, supplemented with published single-cell RNA-seq data.
Results: RNA-seq revealed neuroinflammation-related gene activation and significant downregulation of Notch signaling pathway genes in BMVs post-BCAS. Upregulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were enriched in microglia/macrophages, while downregulated DEGs were prominent in endothelial cells and pericytes. Enhanced activation of vascular-associated microglia (VAM) was linked to neurovascular alterations.
Conclusion: CCH induces significant NVU changes, marked by microglia-associated neuroinflammation and Notch signaling downregulation. These insights highlight potential therapeutic targets for treating neuroinflammatory and vascular-related neurodegenerative diseases.

Patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) face high mortality due to late diagnosis, recurrence, metastasis, and drug resistance. The NOTCH signaling pathway plays a critical role in cancer progression. This study analyzed NOTCH pathway deregulation in EOC patients and its response to taxane treatment in vitro and in vivo.

Uveitis is an inflammatory eye disease, and Longdan Xiegan Decoction (LXD) has been used to treat uveitis. However, the underlying mechanisms have not fully been addressed. The present study aimed to provide new insights into LXD ameliorating inflammatory response of experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) and regulating T helper (Th) cell differentiation via the interaction between microRNA (miRNA) and mRNA.

Asprosin is glucogenic adipokine that exerts a wide repertoire of actions, including the regulation of appetite, insulin resistance and cell proliferation. At present, little is known about the actions of asprosin in the human placenta. The present study investigated the effects of asprosin on the transcriptome of the BeWo and JEG‑3 placental cell lines, and assessed the expression of FBN1/Furin and asprosin's candidate receptors in healthy placentas when compared against placentas from pregnancies where the carrier had gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Cadmium chloride (CdCl₂) is a powerful environmental toxin that has been documented to induce severe hepatic and renal damage through oxidative stress mechanisms. This study evaluated the protective impact of combined low dose of gamma irradiation (LDR) and trans-resveratrol (Trans-Res) on CdCl₂-induced hepato-renal toxicity in rats. Five groups of 50 male albino rats had been classified as; control, CdCl₂ (2 mg/kg), CdCl₂+LDR (0.

Background: The united airway diseases (UADs), exemplified by allergic rhinitis and asthma, cause significant morbidity. Although conventional pharmacotherapy provides symptomatic relief, recent evidence has indicated that cellular therapy, such as stem cell-derived exosomes, might offer therapeutic advantages throughout the entire respiratory tract.
Objectives: The present study intends to demonstrate the effect and explore the mechanism of a novel pharmaco-exosomal immunotherapy, i.
