OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism of isochlorogenic acid A against hepatocellular carcinoma based on the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR) signaling pathway and multi-omics technology. METHODS The invasion rate and migration rate of human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells after 48 h of intervention with 0 (control group), 0.25 and 0.5 mg/mL isochlorogenic acid A were examined; mRNA expression of DEP domain-containing mTOR-interacting protein (DEPTOR), the protein expressions of mTOR, PI3K and phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN), as well as the phosphorylation level of Akt protein were determined in the cells. Metabolomics analysis was performed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and differential metabolites were screened and subjected to Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis; transcriptomics monitoring was conducted by RNA sequencing, and differentially expressed genes were screened and subjected to gene ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses. RESULTS Compared with the control group, intervention with 0.25 and 0.5 mg/mL isochlorogenic acid A for 48 h significantly inhibited the invasion rate and migration rate of HepG2 cells, significantly up-regulated the mRNA expression of DEPTOR and the protein expression of PTEN, and significantly down-regulated the protein expression of PI3K and the phosphorylation level of Akt protein (except for 0.25 mg/mL isochlorogenic acid A) ( P <0.05). A total of 304 differential metabolites and 212 differentially expressed genes were screened by multi-omics analysis. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis suggested that isochlorogenic acid A regulated key signaling of HepG2 cell growth mainly by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, synergizing with metabolic reprogramming such as mTOR signaling pathway, ferroptosis, pentose phosphate pathway and purine/pyrimidine metabo lism. CONCLUSIONS The anti-hepatocellular carcinoma effect of isochlorogenic acid A is associated with the blockade of abnormal activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. In addition, it may also be related to the inhibition of the pentose phosphate pathway and purine/pyrimidine metabolism, as well as the induction of ferroptosis,etc.

Critically ill with capillary leakage syndrome(CLS)presents with damaged vascular endothelial cells with glycocalyx degraded,which increases vascular permeability,and leads to the protein-rich fluid from the intravascular extravasate into the interstitial space.CLS can concomitant symptoms of hypovolemia and fluid overload.Fluid therapy is the most critical element in the treatment of CLS,but still lack of sufficient evidence to guide the choice of fluid management.Based on accurately hemodynamic monitoring,balanced salt or crystalloid + albumin or fresh frozen plasma may be input to ensure effective circulating blood volume.Albumin or fresh frozen plasma is particularly suitable for CLS patients failed to respond to crystalloids during the leakage period.In the later stage of leakage,conservative fluid management with “de-resuscitation”strategy was mainly used with diuretic and hemofiltration (renal replacement therapy/continuous renal replacement therapy) for attenuating fluid overload.Steroids and ulinastatin may be effective in CLS caused by sepsis.

Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae is an important marine economic fish species in northern China and is vulnerable to various pathogens during the breeding process.To investigate the viru-lence of Edwardsiella tarda on Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae and elucidate the role of miRNAs in their interaction,we conducted pathological analyses on various tissues of Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae larvae pre-and post-infection with Edwardsiella tarda.Subsequently,Illumina high-throughput sequencing was employed to identify and functionally characterize differentially ex-pressed miRNAs in liver and kidney tissues.The results demonstrated that infection with Ed-wardsiella tarda led to ulceration,hemorrhaging,significant hepatomegaly,nephromegaly,and as-cites in the abdominal cavity.Histopathological examination revealed swollen hepatocytes with vac-uolization,minor blood cell infiltration,and enlarged renal corpuscles with signs of cellular lysis.miRNA sequencing analysis indicated that 24 miRNAs were significantly upregulated and 45 miR-NAs were significantly downregulated in the liver,while in the kidney,6 miRNAs were upregulat-ed and 58 were downregulated following infection.Functional enrichment analysis revealed signifi-cant enrichment of differentially expressed miRNAs in Toll and IMD signaling pathways,HIF-1 signaling pathway,Rap1 signaling pathway,MAPK signaling pathway,and Apelin signaling path-way.These findings suggest the involvement of these miRNAs in host metabolism,pathogen rec-ognition,and immune response in the interaction between Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae and Ed-wardsiella tarda.This research lays a foundation for elucidating the mechanisms underlying bacte-rial disease susceptibility and resistance in Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae.
