Silicon dioxide particles (SiO2) have been widely used in food additives. Increasing data demonstrate that SiO2 can cause multisystem damage through oxidative stress. Quercetin (Que) is one of the most popular nutritional antioxidants. Ferroptosis reduces level angiogenesis. However, whether Que alleviates inhibition testicular angiogenesis by relieving SiO2-induced ferroptosis via ROS/PPARγ unclear. Based on this, we established SiO2-exposed mice and C166 cell models added stress activators Sanguinarine chloride (SAN), PPARγ inhibitor GW9662, activator Erastin to vitro. The results showed exposure group had antioxidant dysfunction; was significantly downregulated; levels were increased; reduced. treatment alleviate these changes. addition SAN, reduced effects activating stress, inhibiting PPARγ, ferroptosis, respectively. In general, ROS/PPARγ, thus restoring mice.

Pyroptosis, an inflammatory regulated cell death (RCD) mechanism, is characterized by cellular swelling, membrane rupture, and subsequent discharge of contents, exerting robust proinflammatory effects. Recent studies have significantly advanced our understanding pyroptosis, revealing that it can be triggered through inflammasome- caspase-independent pathways, interacts intricately with other RCD pathways (e.g., necroptosis, ferroptosis, cuproptosis). The pathogenesis pulmonary fibrosis (PF), including idiopathic (IPF) interstitial lung diseases, involves a multifaceted interplay factors such as pathogen infections, environmental pollutants, genetic variations, immune dysfunction. This chronic progressive disease persistent inflammation, extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation, fibrotic alveolar wall thickening, which potentially contribute to deteriorated function. Despite recent advances in the mechanisms regulates PF are not entirely elucidated, effective strategies improve clinical outcomes remain unclear. review strives deliver comprehensive overview biological functions molecular exploring its roles PF. Furthermore, examines potential biomarkers therapeutic agents for anti-fibrotic treatments.

Silicosis is a severe lung disease characterized by diffuse pulmonary fibrosis, for which there currently no effective treatment. Pirfenidone (PFD) shows great antifibrotic potential but clinically hindered low bioavailability and gastrointestinal side effects. To address these limitations, this study develops PFD delivery system (PFD-Exo) using J774A.1 macrophage-derived exosomes. Firstly, loaded via sonication, then PFD-Exo Raman spectral imaging UV absorption spectroscopy. Finally, in vitro vivo silicosis models are established to evaluate its Results show that outperforms free inhibiting TGF-β1-induced transdifferentiation of primary fibroblasts vitro. In mouse model silicosis, found be accumulated the lungs following intratracheal administration significantly ameliorates inflammation fibrosis while minimizing Mechanistic studies reveal modulates TGF-β signaling pathway downregulating SMAD3 upregulating SMAD7 NOGGIN. conclusion, provides first evidence exosomes as an treatment offers promising strategy other refractory diseases.
