Previous reports have confirmed that saponins (ginsenosides) derived from Panax ginseng. C. A. Meyer exerted obvious memory-enhancing and antiaging effects, the simpler structure of ginsenosides, better biological activity. In this work, we aimed to explore therapeutic effect underlying molecular mechanism 20(S)-protopanaxatriol (PPT), aglycone panaxatriol-type by establishing D-galactose (D-gal)-induced subacute brain aging model in mice. The results showed PPT treatment (10 20 mg/kg) for 4 weeks could significantly restore D-gal (800 mg/kg 8 weeks)-induced impaired memory function, choline dysfunction, redox system imbalance Meanwhile, also reduced histopathological changes caused exposure. Moreover, increase TFEB/LAMP2 protein expression promote mitochondrial autophagic flow. Importantly, docking had good binding ability with LAMP2 TFEB, suggesting might play an important role alleviate D-gal-caused aging.

Heat stress is a major problem that constrains pig productivity. Understanding and identifying adaptation to heat has been the focus of recent studies, identification genome-wide selection signatures can provide insights into mechanisms environmental adaptation. Here, we generated whole genome re-sequencing data from six Chinese indigenous populations identify genomic regions with related tolerance using multiple methods: three methods for intra-population analyses (Integrated Haplotype Score, Runs Homozygosity Nucleotide diversity Analysis) (iHS, ROH, Pi) inter-population (Fixation index, Cross-population Composite Likelihood Ratio Extended Homozygosity) (FST, XP-CLR, XPEHH). In total, 1 966 796 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified in this study. Genetic structure FST indicated differentiation among these breeds. Based on information location environment, breeds divided cold groups. By combining two or more approaches signatures, outlier signals overlapping as candidate regions. A total 163 genes identified, which, 29 associated injury anti-inflammatory effects.

Astilbin is a dihydroflavonol glycoside identified in many natural plants and functional food with promising biological activities which used as an antioxidant the pharmaceutical fields. This work investigated interaction between astilbin human serum albumin (HSA) their effects on activity of by multi-spectroscopic molecular modeling studies. The experimental results show that quenches fluorescence emission HSA through static quenching mechanism. prefer to bind at Site Ⅰ position, mainly maintained electrostatic force, hydrophobic hydrogen bonding interactions. Multi-spectroscopic MD indicate secondary structure could be changed because HSA.

Decreased nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels accompany aging. CD38 is the main cellular NADase. Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G), a natural inhibitor of CD38, well-known drug that extends human lifespan. We investigated mechanisms in cell senescence and C3G antiaging. Myocardial H9c2 cells were induced to with D-gal. siRNA, UBCS039 (a chemical activator Sirt6) inhibited D-gal-induced by reducing reactive oxygen species, hexokinase 2 SA-β-galactosidase levels. These activators also stimulated proliferation telomerase reverse transcriptase levels, while OSS-128167 Sirt6 siRNA exacerbated senescent process. underwent increased expression decreased expression; expression, respectively; presence siRNA. In acute aging mice, exhibited respectively, myocardial tissues, treatment tissues. reduced IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17A, TNF-α restored NAD+ NK animals. suggest downregulates promote exerts an antiaging effect through CD38-Sirt6 signaling.

Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is a common side effect in thoracic tumor patients undergoing radiotherapy. At present, there no ideal radio-protective agent which widely used RILI treatment. Astilbin (AST), bioactive flavonoid, exhibits various biological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-fibrotic activities, partly result from reducing oxidative stress inflammation pathogenic conditions. However, the protective efficacy of AST to ameliorate has not been reported. In this study, we employed network pharmacology, RNA sequencing, experimental evaluation reveal effects pharmacological mechanism treat vivo vitro. We observed that reduced radiation-induced apoptosis, DNA damage, inflammatory reactions, reactive oxygen species (ROS) level human normal epithelial cells BEAS-2B. Further study showed treatment significantly ameliorated by pathology changes reaction tissue C57BL/6J mice. Mechanistically, expression epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers radiation-triggered acetylation p53 protein were alleviated Furthermore, after intervention Trichostatin A (TSA). Our data indicate can alleviate inhibiting reactions EMT process through decreasing acetylation. conclusion, our suggests great potential be new therapeutic compound for RILI.
