Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), an enteropathogenic coronavirus, has caused huge economic losses to the pig industry, with 100% mortality in piglets aged 2 weeks and intestinal injury pigs of other ages. However, there is still a shortage safe effective anti-TGEV drugs clinics. In this study, phloretin, naturally occurring dihydrochalcone glycoside, was identified as potent antagonist TGEV. Specifically, we found phloretin effectively inhibited TGEV proliferation PK-15 cells, dose-dependently reducing expression N protein, mRNA, titer. The activity furthermore refined target internalization replication stages. Moreover, also that could decrease levels proinflammatory cytokines induced by infection. addition, expanded potential key targets associated effect AR, CDK2, INS, ESR1, ESR2, EGFR, PGR, PPARG, PRKACA, MAPK14 help network pharmacology molecular docking techniques. Furthermore, resistant viruses have been selected culturing increasing concentrations phloretin. Resistance mutations were reproducibly mapped residue (S242) main protease (M

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a stroke subtype associated with high mortality, is closely linked to neuroinflammation. Phloretin, naturally occurring flavonoid abundant in fruits, possesses anti-inflammatory properties. However, its specific role SAH remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed investigate the potential of phloretin SAH. We established vitro and vivo models assess effects phloretin. Subsequently, utilizing SAH-related public datasets from GEO database, identified key genes investigated mechanism action Our findings reveal that significantly improves prognostic outcomes mitigates inflammation mice. Moreover, our results suggest neuroinflammation by inhibiting TLR2/MYD88/NF-κB pathway.

About 230 million people worldwide suffer from peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and the prevalence is increasing year by year. Multiple risk factors, including smoking, dyslipidemia, diabetes, hypertension, can contribute to development of PAD. PAD typically characterized intermittent claudication resting pain, there a severe limb ischemia, leading major adverse events, such as amputation. Currently, progress in research field pathogenesis vascular remodeling, atherosclerosis neointima hyperplasia has been made. For example, molecular mechanisms endothelial dysfunction smooth muscle phenotype switching have described. Interestingly, series focused studies on fibroblasts vessel wall demonstrated their impact proliferation even function via cell-cell communications. In this review, we aim focus functional changes cells At same time, summarize current clinical treatment potential therapeutic methods for shine light future perspectives.
