Despite significant therapeutic advancements for cancer, an atrocious global burden (for example, health and economic) radio- chemo-resistance limit their effectiveness result in unfavorable consequences. Natural compounds are generally considered safer than synthetic drugs, use cancer treatment alone, or combination with conventional therapies, is increasingly becoming accepted. Interesting outcomes from pre-clinical trials using Baicalein medicines have been reported, some of them also undergone clinical later stages. As a result, we investigated the prospects Baicalein, naturally occurring substance extracted stems Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi Oroxylum indicum Kurz, which targets wide range molecular changes that involved development.

ROS/mtROS promotes TNTs formation via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway to protect against mitochondrial damages in glial cells induced by engineered nanomaterials

Particle and Fibre Toxicology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 21(1)

Published: Jan. 15, 2024

Abstract Background As the demand and application of engineered nanomaterials have increased, their potential toxicity to central nervous system has drawn increasing attention. Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are novel cell–cell communication that plays a crucial role in pathology physiology. However, relationship between TNTs neurotoxicity remains unclear. Here, three types commonly used nanomaterials, namely cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs), titanium dioxide (TiO 2 NPs), multi-walled carbon (MWCNTs), were selected address this limitation. Results After complete characterization induction formation with all was observed using high-content screening confocal microscopy both primary astrocytes U251 cells. It further revealed TNT protected against nanomaterial-induced due cell apoptosis disrupted ATP production. We then determined mechanism underlying protective TNTs. Since oxidative stress is common nanotoxicity, we first significant increase total mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (namely ROS, mtROS), causing damage. Moreover, pretreatment cells either ROS scavenger N-acetylcysteine or mtROS mitoquinone attenuated generation, suggesting nanomaterials-induced formation. Furthermore, vigorous downstream pathway PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, found be actively involved nanomaterials-promoted development, which abolished by LY294002, Perifosine Rapamycin, inhibitors PI3K, AKT, mTOR, respectively. Finally, western blot analysis demonstrated scavengers suppressed abrogated Conclusion Despite biophysical properties, various promote transfer, preventing disrupting production induced nanomaterials.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder that significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, which leading cause morbidity and mortality among diabetic patients. A central pathophysiological mechanism linking T2DM to complications oxidative stress, defined as an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production body’s antioxidant defenses. Hyperglycemia in promotes stress through various pathways, including formation advanced glycation end products, activation protein kinase C, mitochondrial dysfunction, polyol pathway. These processes enhance ROS generation, endothelial vascular inflammation, exacerbation damage. Additionally, disrupts nitric oxide signaling, impairing vasodilation promoting vasoconstriction, contributes complications. This review explores molecular mechanisms by pathogenesis disease T2DM. It also examines potential lifestyle modifications, such dietary changes physical activity, reducing mitigating risks this high-risk population.

Antioxidants, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 11(5), P. 911 - 911

Published: May 6, 2022

The critical factors for regulating cancer metabolism are oxidative stress and phosphoinositide-3-kinase/AKT serine-threonine kinase/mechanistic target of the rapamycin kinase (PI3K/AKT/mTOR). However, metabolic impacts PI3K/AKT/mTOR on individual mechanisms such as glycolysis (Warburg effect), pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), fatty acid synthesis, tricarboxylic cycle (TCA) cycle, glutaminolysis, phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complicated. Therefore, this review summarizes interacting functions metabolism. Moreover, natural products providing modulating effects have anticancer potential. Using example brown algae-derived fucoidan, roles were summarized, although their potential within diverse metabolisms rarely investigated. We propose a application that fucoidan may regulate signaling to modulate associated regulations. This sheds light understanding future direction metabolism-based therapy fucoidan.
