Weaning stress causes substantial economic loss in the swine industry. Moreover, weaning-induced intestinal barrier damage and dysfunction of gut-liver axis are associated with reduced growth performance piglets. Metasilicate-based alkaline mineral water (AMW) has shown potential therapeutic effects on gastrointestinal disorders; however, mechanisms involved their overall have not been explored. Here, sodium metasilicate (SMS) was used to prepare metasilicate-based AMW (basal + 500 mg/L SMS). A total 240 newly weaned piglets were allocated Control SMS groups (6 replicate pens per group 20 pen) for a 15-day trial period. Histopathological evaluations conducted using hematoxylin eosin staining. To analyze composition gut microbiota, 16S rRNA PacBio SMRT Gene Full-Length Sequencing performed. Western blotting immunofluorescence employed assess protein expression levels. Our results indicated that effectively alleviated colonic or liver morphological injury inflammatory response, as well cholesterol metabolism disorders. Further analysis showed promoted deoxycholic acid (DCA) biosynthesis by increasing abundance Lactobacillus_delbrueckii colon (P < 0.001). This consequently improved through DCA-secondary bile (SBA) receptors (SBAR)-nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB)/NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) pathways. Growth parameters, including final body weight = 0.034) average daily gain 0.001), significantly higher than those group. Therefore, maintains homeostasis regulating microbiota-mediated SBA-SBAR pathway under weaning stress. research provides new strategy mitigating stress-induced

The build-up of senescent cells in tissues is a key indicator aging, associated with negative prognosis and therapy resistance. Despite immune dysfunction related to also known as immunosenescence, recognized factor this process, the exact mechanisms are still unclear. In study, we reported that melatonin deficiency accelerated macrophage senescence triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), whereas, could defend macrophages against through Nfatc1-Trim26-cgas-Sting pathway. Mechanistically, enhanced nuclear translocation Nfatc1 elevated Trim26 transcription levels. Trim26, functioning an E3 ligase, ubiquitinates cgas, thereby inhibiting activation cgas-Sing pathway consequently preventing cell senescence. Conversely, induced cgas-Sting promote aging. Our results show inhibited improved chemotherapy responsiveness, further enhancement when combined cgas inhibitor (G150). Overall, our findings indicated protects from suggesting its therapeutic potential for enhancing response.

Abstract Background Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) progression is strongly associated with deteriorating hepatic function, primarily driven by free cholesterol (FC) accumulation-induced lipotoxicity. Emerging evidence highlights the regulatory role of mammalian Ste20-like kinase 1 (MST1) in modulating intrahepatic lipid homeostasis, suggesting its therapeutic potential for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) management. This investigation seeks to elucidate pathophysiological mechanisms through which MST1 modulates NASH progression. Methods The experimental design employed two murine genetic models—wild-type (WT) controls and MST1-knockout (MST1-KO) specimens—subjected a nutritionally modified Western diet (WD) enriched saturated fats, simple carbohydrates, dietary induce pathogenesis. Lentiviral transduction techniques facilitated targeted overexpression WT animals maintained on this regimen. Parallel vitro investigations utilized HepG2 hepatocyte cultures exposed acid (FFA) cocktails comprising palmitic oleic acids, coupled CRISPR-mediated suppression complementary gain-of-function manipulations delineate molecular mechanisms. Results triggers sterol biosynthesis activation, resulting pathological FC overload concurrent transcriptional suppression. Genetic ablation amplifies retention potentiates histopathological inflammation, while reconstitution mitigates steatotic deposition attenuates inflammatory cascades. Mechanistic profiling revealed MST1-mediated AMPKα phosphorylation at Thr172, suppresses cholesterogenic enzyme expression via element-binding transcription factor 2 (SREBP2) axis modulation. cascade demonstrates dose-dependent inhibition HMGCR activity, resolving FC-induced hepatotoxicity. Crucially, orchestrates AMPK/SREBP2 crosstalk maintain knockout models exhibiting 67% elevated SREBP2 nuclear translocation compared controls. Conclusions involving AMPK emerges as promising modality metabolism. It significant arresting cascades extracellular matrix remodeling characteristic studies confirm that effectively de novo lipogenesis enhancing efflux capacity, thereby establishing dual-target strategy against both metabolic dysfunction fibrotic transformation preclinical models.

Atrazine (ATZ), a widely used herbicide, disrupts mitochondrial function and lipid metabolism in the liver. Melatonin (MLT), naturally synthesized hormone, combats dysfunction alleviates toxicity. However, mechanisms behind ATZ-induced toxicity protective effects of MLT remain unexplored. Mice were randomly assigned to four groups: control (Con), 5 mg/kg MLT, 170 ATZ, cotreatment group receiving ATZ with (ATZ+MLT). Additionally, we analyzed Rab8a on mRNA proteins related disrupted by AML12 cells. In conclusion, induced stress fatty acid mouse hepatocytes Exogenous restores levels, regulating utilization mitochondria function. Notably, targeting does not significantly affect but prevents disorders hepatocytes.

ABSTRACT Atrazine (ATR) is a widespread environmental herbicide that seriously affects agricultural work and human safety. Melatonin (MLT) as an endogenous neuroendocrine hormone widely found in animals plants, which have antioxidant anti‐inflammatory effects. Pink1/Parkin‐mediated mitophagy keeps normal physiological processes by degrading damaged mitochondria cells. Therefore, we investigated the potential role mechanism of MLT ATR‐induced toxic injury spleen. The results showed alleviated unclear boundary between white pulp red It also shown ATR resulted swollen mitochondria, partial extinction mitochondrial membranes cristae, increased under action MLT. reactive oxygen species (ROS) activates Pink1/Parkin pathway, guides development then causes activation TLR4/NF‐κB inflammatory pathway. Meanwhile, these damages further exacerbated production NLRP3 inflammasomes, leading to spleen necrosis. Interestingly, changes were improved after treatment. Collectively, alleviates immune impairment splenic macrophages via regulating Parkin‐TLR4‐NLRP3 axis elucidates effect melatonin on provides novel perspective

Atrazine (AT), a widely utilized chemical herbicide, causes widespread contamination of agricultural water bodies. Recently, exposure to AT has been linked the development age-related neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), suggesting its neurotoxicity potential. As an endocrine disruptor, targets hypothalamus, crucial part neuroendocrine system. However, toxicological mechanism hypothalamus and correlation with ND remain unexplored. Our results indicated that caused significant morphological structural damage leading loss mature intact neurons microglial activation. Furthermore, hypothalamic neural stem cells (HtNSCs) were recruited areas neuronal by AT. Through in vivo vitro experiments, we clarified outcomes AT-induced HtNSC recruitment alongside mature/intact neurons. Mechanistically, induces senescence these HtNSCs activating integrated stress response signaling. This consequently hinders repair damaged inhibiting proliferation differentiation. Overall, our findings underscore pivotal role pathway damage. Additionally, present study offers novel perspectives understand mechanisms provides preliminary evidence linking NDs.
