Article Abstract

A new skeleton alkaloid was isolated from Portulaca oleracea L., which was identified as ethyl (2Z,4E,6E)-3-amino-7-(4-amino-6-ethyl-3-glycyl-5-methylpyridin-2-yl)-2-methylocta-2,4,6-trienoate, trivial named, olerapyridin and the structure was clarified through IR, UV, 1D and 2D NMR as well as UHPLC-ESI-Q-TOF/MS methods. Moreover, the bioactivities of anti-inflammation of the compound were investigated via testing RAW 264.7 macrophage cell stimulated by lipopolysaccharide. The results showed that olerapyridin at 5 μM remarkably downregulated the levels of inflammatory mediators, including IL-1β, the proteins expression levels of iNOS and the mRNA expression levels of COX-2, Additionally, at 15 μM, olerapyridin effectively reduced the levels of NO and TNF-a, as well as the proteins expression levels of COX-2 and mRNA expression levels of iNOS.

Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as ubiquitous environmental contaminants, while thallium (Tl), a highly toxic metalloid, is gaining attention as a novel pollutant due to its increasing release from electronic waste and mining activities. These pollutants frequently coexist in aquatic environments; however, their combined effects at environmentally relevant concentrations remain poorly understood. In this study, the adsorption behavior and joint neurotoxicity of polystyrene (PS) microplastics and Tl were systematically evaluated using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism.

The innate immune response is a double-edged sword in insects, comprising the humoral and cellular mechanisms to fight and eliminate pathogens. The humoral response is achieved by the production of antimicrobial peptides, which are secreted in the hemolymph. The cellular responses are mediated by phagocytosis, encapsulation and melanization.

The confirmed tumor-inhibitory effects of the 30 kDa Momordica anti-human immunodeficiency virus protein (MAP30) have yet to be complemented by an exploration into its mechanism of action on tumor development and metastasis. For this purpose, we delved into the intrinsic mechanism of MAP30 in bladder cancer (BC). Here, we demonstrated that MAP30 markedly suppressed the proliferation, migration, invasion, and angiogenic capabilities of human BC cells in vitro, and the tumor metastatic potential in vivo.

Myelination is essential for normal brain function, yet the mechanisms governing neuron-oligodendrocyte interactions that ensure proper myelination levels remain poorly understood. Here, we identify transcription factor EB (TFEB) as a molecular link that connects extrinsic neuronal cues to intrinsic oligodendrocyte transcriptional programs, regulating central nervous system myelination. Using a TFEB epitope-tagged knock-in mouse model, we find that neurons sequester most of the TFEB protein in the cytoplasm of myelinating oligodendrocytes.
