Curcumin, a natural active compound derived from plants, is widely used as pigment across the globe. Research has demonstrated that curcumin possesses neuroprotective properties in spinal cord injuries (SCIs); however, its specific mechanisms of action remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate potential underlying curcumin's therapeutic effects SCI. We screened targets treatment injury using network pharmacology variety public databases. The interaction between and target was analyzed through bioinformatics analysis, molecular docking, dynamics simulation. Finally, prediction results were verified by simulating oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) PC12 cells. Initial screening indicated 13 core involved mitigating Curcumin may regulate HIF pathway, immune cells, inflammation, oxidative stress, other processes. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), signal transducer activator transcription 3 (STAT3), caspase (CASP3) identified key SCI regulation. Molecular docking exhibited favorable affinity with targets, MMP9 showing highest binding (-8.76 kcal/mol). Further studies confirmed stably binds MMP9, site located at residues 220-225. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay showed exerted good effect. Western blot inhibited expression protein but had no significant effect on TNF-α. exerts multiple pathways.

Chemoresistance is one of the major causes therapeutic failure and poor prognosis for breast cancer patients, especially triple-negative patients. However, underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, we identified novel functional roles heat shock protein beta-1 (HSPB1), regulating chemoresistance ferroptotic cell death in cancer. Based on TCGA GEO databases, HSPB1 expression was upregulated tissues associated with which considered an independent prognostic factor Functional assays revealed that could promote growth metastasis vitro vivo. Furthermore, facilitated doxorubicin (DOX) resistance through protecting cells from drug-induced ferroptosis. Mechanistically, bind Ikβ-α its ubiquitination-mediated degradation, leading to increased nuclear translocation activation NF-κB signaling. In addition, overexpression led enhanced secretion IL6, further progression. These findings upregulation might be a key driver progression ferroptosis while targeting effective strategy against

Iron, as an essential trace element for the organism, is vital maintaining organism's health. Excessive iron can promote reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, thus damaging cells and tissues. Ferroptosis a novel form of programmed cell death distinguished by overload lipid peroxidation, which unique from autophagy, apoptosis necrosis, more studies are focusing on ferroptosis. Recent evidence suggests that ferroptosis associated with development female reproductive disorders (FRDs), including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), endometriosis (EMs), cancer (OC), preeclampsia (PE) spontaneous abortion (SA). Pathways genes may participate in processes regulate granulosa proliferation secretion, oocyte development, reserve function, early embryonic placental oxidative stress. However, its exact mechanism has not been fully revealed. Therefore, our review systematically elaborates occurrence research progress FRDs, view to providing literature references clinical targeting -related pathways regulatory factors management FRDs.

Abstract Increasing evidence suggests that non-coding small RNAs (miRNAs) carried by exosomes (EXOs) play important roles in the development and treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In this study, we demonstrate PCOS mouse serum-derived EXOs promote granulosa cells (GCs) ferroptosis, induce occurrence a PCOS-like phenotype vivo. Notably, EXO miRNA sequencing combined with vitro gain- loss-of-function assays revealed miR-128-3p, which is absent mice PCOS, regulates lipid peroxidation GC sensitivity to ferroptosis inducers. Mechanistically, overexpression CSF1 , direct target reversed anti-ferroptotic effect miR-128-3p. Conversely, induction was mitigated -downregulated GCs. Furthermore, demonstrated miR-128-3p inhibition activates p38/JNK pathway via leading NRF2-mediated down-regulation SLC7A11 transcription, triggers iron overload. Moreover, intrathecal AgomiR injection into ovaries ameliorated characteristics restored fertility letrozole-induced mice. The study reveals pathological mechanisms based on circulating provides first ovarian This discovery expected provide promising therapeutic targets for PCOS.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent gynecological endocrine and metabolic disorder in women, with an incidence rate of 10-13%. The etiology PCOS multifaceted, involving genetic predisposition, environmental influences, lifestyle factors, dysregulation. Iron, critical mineral, not only plays role regulating female physiological functions the progression but also requires careful management to avoid deficiency. However, excess iron can trigger ferroptosis, form nonapoptotic cell death characterized by accumulation lipid peroxides. While numerous studies have explored ferroptosis patients animal models, precise mechanisms therapeutic implications remain inadequately understood. This review seeks elucidate pathophysiology contributory factors ferroptosis. Additionally, we examine diverse manifestations evaluate its role. Furthermore, introduce ferroptosis-related traditional Chinese medicines that may enhance understanding pathogenesis aid development targeted therapies for PCOS.

Osteoporosis (OP), a prevalent public health concern primarily caused by osteoclast-induced bone resorption, requires potential therapeutic interventions. Natural compounds show as therapeutics for postmenopausal OP. Emerging evidence from in vitro osteoclastogenesis assay suggests that aconine (AC) serves an osteoclast differentiation regulator without causing cytotoxicity. However, the vivo functions of AC various OP models need clarification. To address this, we administered intraperitoneal injections to ovariectomy (OVX)-induced mice 8 weeks and found effectively reversed phenotype OVX mice, leading reduction vertebral loss restoration high turnover markers. Specifically, significantly suppressed decreasing expression osteoclast-specific genes such NFATc1 , c-Fos Cathepsin K Mmp9 . Importantly, can regulate ferroptosis suppressing Gpx4 upregulating Acsl4, which is achieved through inhibition phosphorylation I-κB p65 NF-κB signaling pathway. These findings suggest option managing signaling-mediated formation.
