Heat stress is an important influence on the male reproductive organs. Therefore, the effects of heat stress on genes or pathways related to the reproductive system of male mice were experimentally explored in this paper to further determine the effects of heat stimulation on mammals. Herein, models of heat-exposed mouse testicular tissue and heat-excited cells were successfully established. Many scorched vesicles were found after heat excitation of testis supporting cells, testicular mesenchymal (TM4) cells. Western blot, in situ terminal deoxynucleotide transferase dUTP Nick end labeling (TUNEL) and transmission electron microscopy showed that membrane rupture, mitochondrial damage and autophagic vesicles occurred in TM4 cells after thermal excitation. The N-segment fragment of the associated protein shear was increased, and the TUNEL result was positive. In conclusion, thermal excitation induced apoptosis and scorch death in TM4 cells. Thus, the Hippo pathway and apoptosis-related pathway were significantly enriched after heat stimulation in mouse testis, and the scorch death effect in TM4 cells was induced by heat excitation. 相似文献

The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is the main target of tooth regeneration regulation. Treatment of cells with AZD2858 stimulates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, yet the function of this pathway in tooth regeneration remains unclear. Here, we found that AZD2858 promotes the accumulation of β-catenin in the nuclei of stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAPs) and enhances cell proliferation. Single-cell sequencing was performed on SCAPs treated with AZD2858. Eight clusters were identified, namely SCAPs-CNTNAP2, SCAPs-DTL, SCAPs-MYH11, SCAPs-MKI67, SCAPs-CXCL8, SCAPs-TPM2, SCAPs-IFIT2 and SCAPs-NEK10. The pseudo-time trajectory analysis showed that AZD2858 enhanced the evolution of SCAPs from SCAPs-TMP2 clusters to SCAPs-MYH11, SCAPs-CNTNAPs and SCAPs-NEK10 clusters via up-regulation of PRKCA, SMURF2, MAGI2, RBMS3, EXT1, CAMK2D, PLCB4, and PLCB1. These results demonstrate that AZD2858 enhances the proliferation of SCAPs-TPM2 cluster by activating the non-canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. 相似文献

Caloric restriction (CR) may retard aging processes and extend lifespan in organisms by altering energy-metabolic pathways. In CR rodents, glucose influx into tissues is not reduced, as compared with control animals fed ad libitum (AL), although plasma concentrations of glucose and insulin are lower. Gene expression profiles in rodents have suggested that CR promotes gluconeogenesis and fatty acid biosynthesis in skeletal muscle. In the liver, CR promotes gluconeogenesis but decreases fatty acid synthesis and glycolysis. In lower organisms such as yeasts and nematodes, incomplete blocks in steps of insulin/insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) signal pathway extend lifespan. The life-prolonging effect of CR in yeasts requires NPT1 and SIR2 genes, both of which relate to sensing energy status and silencing genes. These findings stress the substantial role of energy metabolism on CR. Future studies on metabolic adaptation and gene silencing with regard to lower caloric intake will be warranted to understand the mechanisms of the anti-aging and life-prolonging effects of CR. 相似文献

The neonatal hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is an important cause of neurological morbidity andmortality in neonates. Cell therapy is considered a promising method for treating severe neurological disorders such asthis one. Stem cells have the capacity for self-renewal and differentiation into certain cell lineages. The present study wasaimed to find out the most beneficial route of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) administrationfor the attenuation of experimentally induced HIE in neonatal rats. Sixty neonatal rats were divided randomly intofour groups. Group 1: control group. Group 2: rats were exposed to bilateral ligation of cephalic arteries. Group 3: ratswere exposed to bilateral ligation of cephalic arteries and then underwent intravenous (IV) BMSC injection. Group 4:rats were exposed to bilateral ligation of cephalic arteries and then underwent intracerebroventricular (ICV) BMSCinjection. The animals were evaluated by (a) neurobehavioral tests; (b) histopathology, i.e., histological and immunohistochemical studies; and (3) gene expression studies. The BMSC treated groups (3 and 4) showed improvement inneurobehavioral tests, histopathological studies, and gene expression, as compared to non-injected lesioned rats (Group2) with better improvement in Group 4 (ICV injections) than in Group 3 (IV injections). 相似文献

ATP depletion is one of the pathological bases in cerebral ischemia. Electro-acupuncture (EA) is widely used in clinical practice for ischemia. However, the mechanism of EA remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether EA could activate the AMPK/PGC-1α/TFAM signaling pathway and, consequently, increase the preservation of ATP in rats with ischemia. In this study, 48 rats were randomly divided into four groups as a sham-operation control group (sham group), a middle cerebral artery occlusion group (MCAO group), an EA group, and an EA group blocked by the AMPK inhibitor compound C (EA + CC group) (N = 12/group). The rats of the EA group and EA + CC group received the EA treatment for 7 days. The rats that belonged in the two remaining groups were only grasped in the same condition. Then, their brain tissues were collected for further detection. When compared with other groups, EA significantly reduced neurological deficits score and increased motor function. The cerebral infarction volume was significantly reduced in the EA group according to TTC staining. With western blot, we found that EA improved the ratio of p-AMPKα/AMPKα (P < 0.05), however, there is no difference between the MCAO group and sham group (P > 0.05). In addition, EA also increased the expression of PGC-1α and TFAM (all P < 0.05). By Elisa, we observed that EA increased the preservation of ATP (P < 0.05) and mitochondrial respiratory enzymes, including Complex I (P < 0.05), Complex IV (P < 0.05), but not Complex III (P > 0.05). In summary, we conclude that EA may protect against ischemic damage in MCAO rats, improve the preservation of ATP and mitochondrial respiratory enzymes. This effect may be positively regulated by the activation of the PGC-1α/TFAM signaling pathway. 相似文献

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic cutaneous inflammatory disease caused by an interaction between genetic, immune and epidermal barrier factors. Several treatments can be used to treat this disease but there are patients that do not respond to actual drugs. So, there is a need to develop effective therapies for AD. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are non-hematopoietic multipotent adult progenitor cells with immunomodulatory power and self-regenerating capacity to repair tissue damage, so they could be a potential effective treatment for AD. MSCs-Conditioned Medium (CM) and MSCs-exosomes are cell-free preparation with molecules secreted by stem cells that could be also beneficial for AD. This viewpoint reviews the actual development of MSCs, MSCs-CM and MSCs-exosomes for treating patients with AD. 相似文献

Since Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) occurs when β-cells mass is reduced to less than 20% of the normal level due to autoimmune destruction of cells resulting in the inability to secrete insulin, preservation or replenishment of the functional β-cells mass has become a major therapeutic focus for this diabetic type treatment. Thus, this 4-week work plan was designed to determine which mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) type is more appropriate to alleviate pancreatic hazards resulting from diabetes induction; via tracking a comparative study between MSCs derived from adipose tissue (AD-MSCs) and from bone marrow (BM-MSCs) in management of T1DM considering their immunomodulatory, anti-apoptotic and antioxidative roles. Rats were divided randomly into 4 groups; control, STZ-diabetic (D), D+AD-MSCs, and D+BM-MSCs groups. Both stem cells types in this study were allogenic. Herein, both oxidative stress and antioxidant markers were evaluated using colorimetric analysis, while inflammatory, immune and apoptotic markers were assessed through flow cytometric analysis. Results showed that diabetic rats treated with either AD-MSCs or BM-MSCs exhibited marked pancreatic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities that were able to initiate pancreatic immunomodulation and reducing β-cells apoptotic death, thus, help to restore their normal insulin secretion and hypoglycemic abilities. However, AD-MSCs injection was shown to be superior as a pancreatic regenerative tool in overcoming diabetes; owing to their marked antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and anti-apoptotic characteristics over BM-MSCs treatment. 相似文献

The complex mechanism of degenerative diseases and the non-specific modulation of regenerative targets aretopics that need to be elucidated in order to advance the use of stem cells in improvement of neurodegenerative diseases.From pre-transplantation through post-transplantation, there are many changes in the conditions, both inside andoutside of the stem cells that have not been carefully considered. This has hindered development in the field of celltherapy and regeneration. This viewpoint highlights the potential implications of intracellular and extracellularalterations of stem cells in transplanted areas at risk of neurodegenerative disease. 相似文献

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been increasingly employed in the last decades in China for both preventing and treating a variety of cancers. 3-epi-bufotalin is an active ingredient of TCM “Chanpi” with anti-tumor potential. However, the effect and mechanism of 3-epi-bufotalin on colorectal cancers were not well disclosed. The present study demonstrated that 3-epi-bufotalin could reduce viability, trigger apoptosis, and block the cell cycle at the G2/M stage in colorectal cancer cell lines HT29, RKO, and COLO205 in vitro. Moreover, 3-epi-bufotalin inhibited the JAK1/STAT3 signaling pathway. These results indicated the anti-proliferation ability of 3-epi-bufotalin in colorectal cancer cells. 相似文献

The scientific community is continuously working to translate the novel biomedical techniques into effectivemedical treatments. CRISPR-Cas 9 system (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats-9), commonlyknown as the “molecular scissor”, represents a recently developed biotechnology able to improve the quality and theefficacy of traditional treatments, related to several human diseases, such as chronic diseases, neurodegenerativepathologies and, interestingly, oral diseases. Of course, dental medicine has notably increased the use ofbiotechnologies to ensure modern and conservative approaches: in this landscape, the use of CRISPR-Cas-9 systemmay speed and personalize the traditional therapies, ensuring a good predictability of clinical results. The aim of thiscritical overview is to provide evidence on CRISPR efficacy, taking into specific account its applications in oral medicine. 相似文献

Interleukin-22 (IL-22) is a member of IL-10 cytokine family which is expressed in activated T cellspredominantly and in activated natural killer cells at lower levels. Previous studies have demonstrated the link betweenelevated levels of IL-22 and disease severity of psoriasis, Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis and interstitial lungdiseases. However, the function of IL-22 in the development and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) remainselusive. In this study, we first evaluated the IL-22/IL-22R1 level in CRC patients, and found that tumor tissueshave more active expression of IL-22 and IL-22R1 than normal tissues, presenting correlation with the degree ofdifferentiation of tumor tissues. Subsequently, Caspase and cell viability assays were performed on SW-480 cell linewhich expresses high level of IL-22R1 to examine if the supplementation of IL-22 has an impact on apoptosis andproliferation. In comparison with treatment of 5-FU, supplementation of IL-22 promoted cell proliferation andameliorated apoptosis. To unveil signal transduction upon activation of IL-22R, we examined the phosphorylationof STAT3 in SW-480 cell line following supplementation of IL-22. The treatment of IL-22 also increased the level ofp-Akt, an essential component in PI3K/Akt pathway. Although the link between STAT3 phosphorylation and PI3K/Akt activation remains to be explored, our study revealed the mechanism underlying the effects of IL-22R activation onapoptosis as well as tumor differentiation, indicating the prognostic value of IL-22/IL-22R. 相似文献

Pain and lifestyle changes are common consequences of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) and affect a large part of the aging population. The stemness of cells is exploited in the field of regenerative medicine as key to treat degenerative diseases. Transplanted cells however often face delivery and survival challenges, especially in tissues with a naturally harsh microniche environment such as the intervertebral disc. Recent interest in the secretome of stem cells, especially cargo protected from microniche-related decay as frequently present in degenerating tissues, provides new means of rejuvenating ailing cells and tissues. Exosomes, a type of extracellular vesicles with purposeful cargo gained particular interest in conveying stem cell related attributes of rejuvenation, which will be discussed here in the context of IVDD. 相似文献

Exogenously delivered mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are therapeutically beneficial owing to their paracrine effect; they secrete various cytokines, nucleic acids, and proteins. Multiple bioengineering techniques can help MSC cultures to release secretomes by providing stem cell niche-like conditions (both structurally and functionally). Various scaffolds mimic the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) using both natural and synthetic polymers, providing favorable environments for MSC proliferation and differentiation. Depending on material properties, either topographically or elastically structured scaffolds can be fabricated. Three-dimensional scaffolds have tunable substrate rigidities and structures, aiding MSC cultivation. Decellularized ECM-derived hydrogels are similar to the natural ECM, thus improving the paracrine effects of MSCs. Here, we discuss recent research on the application of scaffolds to maximize the immunomodulatory function of MSCs. 相似文献

Caveolin-1, the first member of caveolin family reported, is recognized as the structural component of caveola, a plasma membrane invagination or vesicles that are a subcompartment distinct from clathrin-coated pits. This protein is also known to be involved in cholesterol trafficking.
The aim of this study was to determine the expression of caveolin-1 in adult rat Leydig cells. Testis sections incubated with an antibody to caveolin-1 showed, by immunohistochemistry, a moderate number of Leydig cells with different degrees of immunoreaction and a strong reaction in endothelial cells and in the lamina propia of seminiferous tubules. Caveolin-1 was detected in the cell cytoplasm with a granular pattern and on the cell surface of Leydig cells cultured 24 h on uncoated, laminin-1 or type IV collagen coated coverslips. We also observed a milder reaction in 3 h cultures. Immunoreaction was also detected in Leydig cells with an antibody to tyrosine-phosphorylated caveolin-1. By double immunofluorescent technique, we observed co-localization of caveolin-1 and 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. Western blot analysis revealed a band of about 22 kDa molecular weight that was recognized with both caveolin-1 and tyrosinephosphocaveolin-1 antibodies. Caveolin-1 is one of a few proteins with a demonstrated ability to bind cholesterol in vivo. In this context, the presence of caveolin-1 in Leydig cells may be related to cholesterol traffic -a rate limiting step in steroid biosynthesis. 相似文献
