Article Abstract

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 ± 0.03 at 12 h). Treated beef exhibited significantly higher redness (a*), oxymyoglobin content, NADH levels, and metmyoglobin reductase activity versus controls (P < 0.05). Proteomics revealed coordinated upregulation of key glycolytic enzymes (e.g., GAPDH, ALDOA) and redox regulator MAPK3 (293 differentially abundant proteins identified), mechanistically linking glycolytic activation to NADH-driven metmyoglobin reduction. This adaptive metabolic reprogramming stabilizes myoglobin redox states through antioxidant synergy. Our findings validate DEM's utility for simulating physiological oxidative stress and uncover an NADH-mediated preservation mechanism, providing foundational insights for discolouration-mitigation strategies.

Background: The aim of this study was to establish a rat model of premature ovarian failure (POF) with cyclophosphamide (CTX), and explore the molecular basis of POF and the mechanism of Guishen-Erxian Decoction (GSEXD) to improve POF from the perspective of oxidative stress regulation of ovarian granulosa cell (OGC) DNA fragmentation.

Method: The study utilized SD rats to establish a POF model via CTX. Rats were divided into Control, POF group, three GSEXD dosage groups (low, medium, high), and a GSEXD+PI3K agonist group to assess GSEXD's therapeutic effects on oxidative stress, DNA fragmentation and ovarian damage.

Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) is a serious complication of sepsis. The relationship between SIC and protein acetylation, particularly the balance between acetylation and deacetylation in cardiomyocyte subcellular structures, as well as how nuclear-mitochondrial coordination maintains standard antioxidant stress capacity, remains unclear. This study focused on exploring the nuclear-mitochondrial regulatory mechanisms formed by the interplay of Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) and Forkhead box O3a (FOXO3a).

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), and share several important pathological features including the development of neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) of tau protein. While this association is well established, the underlying pathogenesis is poorly defined and current treatment options remain limited, necessitating novel methods and approaches. In response we developed "TBI-on-a-chip", an trauma model utilizing murine cortical networks on microelectrode arrays (MEAs), capable of reproducing clinically relevant impact injuries while providing simultaneous morphological and electrophysiological readout.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) induces oxidative stress that triggers a compensatory upregulation of intracellular glutathione (GSH), thereby diminishing PDT efficacy. The simultaneous generation of reactive oxygen species and depletion of GSH holds promise for amplifying oxidative damage and enhancing therapeutic outcomes yet remains a challenge. In this work, we present a Type-I supramolecular photosensitizer designed to deplete GSH through a hydrogen atom transfer mechanism while concurrently generating superoxide radicals.

The ATPase caseinolytic protease X (ClpX), forming the ClpXP complex with caseinolytic protease P (ClpP), is essential for mitochondrial protein homeostasis. While ClpP targeting is a recognized anticancer strategy, the role of ClpX in cancer remains underexplored. In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), elevated CLPX expression correlates with poor prognosis, suggesting its oncogenic function.
