Today, air pollution is the greatest threat to organismal healthspan. The environment of our planet earth, habitat over eight billion humans and estimated twenty billions other animals, contaminated with a wide variety pollutants. Unfortunately, humans, out living organisms on are solely responsible for polluting through emitting pollutants like particulate matter from industry, fuel engine vehicles, biomass combustion, toxic fumes blasting, wildfire. In modern world, human-caused induce massive oxidative stress inflammation, major contributors in initiation progression many diseases including pulmonary, cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, reproductive, neurological, mental, accelerated biological aging. provocative question following: how can we solve this human-created problem? As it not realistic clean at once pollution, initiatives have been undertaken develop novel therapeutic approaches control air-pollutant-induced inflammation protect pollution-induced devastating diseases. article, I discuss key findings numerous recent preclinical studies documenting first, role pollutant PM2.5 augmentation stress, associated diseases; second, efficacies different natural synthetic compounds amelioration PM2.5-induced pyroptosis, pathologies.

Chronic inflammation is the result of an acute inflammatory response that fails to eliminate pathogenic agent or heal tissue injury. The consequence this failure lays foundations onset several chronic ailments, including skin disorders, respiratory and neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic syndrome, and, eventually, cancer. In context, long-term use synthetic anti-inflammatory drugs treat illnesses cannot be tolerated by patients owing severe side effects. Based on this, need for novel agents endowed with effects prompted search potential candidates also within plant kingdom, being recognized as a source molecules currently employed in therapeutical areas. Indeed, ever-growing evidence properties dietary polyphenols traced route towards study flavonoid-rich sources, such Citrus bergamia (bergamot) its derivatives. Interestingly, recent paradigm circular economy has promoted valorization fruit waste regard bergamot, it brought light new corroborating bergamot byproducts, thus increasing scientific knowledge field. Therefore, review aims gather latest literature supporting beneficial role both derivatives products different models inflammatory-based highlighting great potentiality re-evaluation perspective.

ABSTRACT Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by progressive interstitial fibrosis, contributing to high global mortality due limited treatment options. Contemporary findings highlight the potential of natural compounds for CKD treatment. Bergapten (BGT), a bioactive furocoumarin, recognized its antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties but remains unexplored as an antifibrotic agent. The targets BGT were identified using network pharmacology in silico approaches. effects evaluated transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β1–induced normal rat fibroblast (NRK‐49F) cells. For vivo validation, was induced mice unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). Immunocytochemistry, histopathological analysis, immunoblotting conducted assess on activation, renal microstructural changes, expression profibrotic markers. Network analysis revealed 119 BGT‐target genes involved including those TGF‐β1 signaling pathway. Molecular docking confirmed interaction with TGF‐β receptor 1 (TGFR1).

Numerous studies have demonstrated a positive correlation between the frequency and severity of allergic rhinitis (AR) with fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure, although exact mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate role gut microbiota disorder NLRP3 pathway activation in PM2.5-induced nasal epithelial barrier damage AR mice. The results indicated that PM2.5 could exacerbate symptoms mucosa. pathway-related proteins including NLRP3, Caspase-1, GSDMD, IL-1β were elevated. Additionally, mucosa injury was significantly worsen mice disorder. Gut Microbiomic Ileibacterium Alistipes are associated exacerbation. Metabolomic analysis suggested bile acid metabolism is potential contributor aggravate damage. revealed positively Alistipes, Ileibacterium, cholic PC (15:0/15:0). correlated LPE18:2 negatively zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) Claudin-1 proteins. In summary, may cause abnormal inflammasome activation, which participate exposure-induced exacerbation supplied new insight targets for prevention treatment AR.
