Objective To explore the callsal association between intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy(ICP)and offspring attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)and Tourette's syndrome(TS)and its potential mechanisms.Methods Genome wide association study(GWAS)in public datasets was used to extract data.Among them,exposure was ICP(n=123 579),which stems from FinnGen dataset.Outcome was defined as ADHD,TS and other tic disorders(n=23 918),which is extracted from GWAS Catalog.Among mediators,total cholesterol in high-density lipoprotein(TC in HDL)were from the genetic map of the human plasma proteinome(n=21 558),and Obg-like ATPase 1 was from whole-genome study of circulating metabolites(n=3 301).In this study,we chose instrumental variables(IVs)that meets the Mendelian randomization(MR)hypothesis.When using two-sample MR,inverse variance weighted(IVW)was adopted as the primary method,and MR-Egger regression,weighted median,weighted mode,and simple mode were also utilized to analyse the robustness.Cochran's Q test,MR-Egger intercept test and leave-one-out sensitivity analysis were performed to verify the reliability.Significant threshold was set up as P<0.05.When using two-step MR,the first step is two-sample MR from exposure to mediator,and the second step is multivariable MR(MVMR),which is from mediator to outcome.At this time,conditional F-statistic was adopted to test the strength of IVs.At last,product distribution test was applied to determine the significance of mediation effects.Results ICP was significantly related to ADHD and TS as well as other tic disorders in offspring(IVW:OR=1.003,95%CI:1.000～1.006,P=0.035),and sensitivity analysis verified the robustness of the results.The potential positive mediators included TC in HDL[total effect(TE)=2.855×10-3;mediated effect(ME)=8.628×10-4;mediated proportion(MP)=30.217%,95%CI:0.878%～73.954%],and Obg-like ATPase 1(TE=2.855×10-3;ME=1.216×10-3;MP=42.572%,95%CI:6.356%～90.195%).Conclusion ICP is possible to elevate the incidence rate of ADHD and TS and other tic disorders via reducing TC in HDL and Obg-like ATPase 1.

Objective:To analyze the impact of cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis on the proliferation and differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells.Methods:① Animal experiment: sixteen male C57BL/6 mice were divided into sham operation group (Sham group) and CLP-induced sepsis model group (CLP group) by random number table method, with 8 mice in each group. After 5 days of operation, the jejunal tissues were taken for determination of leucine-rich-repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5) and intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The translation of LGR5 was detected by Western blotting. The expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (Ki67) was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. IAP level was detected by modified calcium cobalt staining and colorimetry. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expression of Paneth cell marker molecule lysozyme 1 (LYZ1) and goblet cell marker molecule mucin 2 (MUC2). ② Cell experiment: IEC6 cells in logarithmic growth stage were divided into blank control group and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group (LPS 5 μg/mL). Twenty-four hours after treatment, PCR and Western blotting were used to analyze the transcription and translation of LGR5. The proliferation of IEC6 cells were detected by 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining. The transcription and translation of IAP were detected by PCR and colorimetric method respectively.Results:① Animal experiment: the immunohistochemical results showed that the positive rate of Ki67 staining in the jejunal tissue of CLP group was lower than that of Sham group [(41.7±2.5)% vs. (48.7±1.4)%, P = 0.01]. PCR and Western blotting results showed that there were no statistical differences in the mRNA and protein expressions of LGR5 in the jejunal tissue between the CLP group and Sham group (Lgr5 mRNA: 0.7±0.1 vs. 1.0±0.2, P = 0.11; LGR5/β-actin: 0.83±0.17 vs. 0.68±0.19, P = 0.24). The mRNA (0.4±0.1 vs. 1.0±0.1, P < 0.01) and protein (U/g: 47.3±6.0 vs. 73.1±15.3, P < 0.01) levels of IAP in the jejunal tissue were lower in CLP group. Immunofluorescence saining analysis showed that the expressions of LYZ1 and MUC2 in the CLP group were lower than those in the Sham group. ②Cell experiment: PCR and Western blotting results showed that there was no significant difference in the expression of LGR5 between the LPS group and the blank control group (Lgr5 mRNA: 0.9±0.1 vs. 1.0±0.2, P = 0.33; LGR5/β-actin: 0.71±0.18 vs. 0.69±0.04, P = 0.81). The proliferation rate of IEC6 cells in the LPS group was lower than that in the blank control group, but there was no significant difference [positivity rate of EdU: (40.5±3.8)% vs. (46.5±3.6)%, P = 0.11]. The mRNA (0.5±0.1 vs. 1.0±0.2, P < 0.01) and protein (U/g: 15.0±4.0 vs. 41.2±10.4, P < 0.01) of IAP in the LPS group were lower than those in the blank control group. Conclusion:CLP-induced sepsis inhibits the proliferation and differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells, impairing the self-renewal ability of intestinal epithelium.

Bone formation and deposition are initiated by sensory nerve infiltration in adaptive bone remodeling. Here, we focused on the role of Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A), expressed by sensory nerves, in mechanical loads-induced bone formation and nerve withdrawal using orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) model. Firstly, bone formation was activated after the 3rd day of OTM, coinciding with a decrease in sensory nerves and an increase in pain threshold. Sema3A, rather than nerve growth factor (NGF), highly expressed in both trigeminal ganglion and the axons of periodontal ligament following the 3rd day of OTM. Moreover, in vitro mechanical loads upregulated Sema3A in neurons instead of in human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) within 24 hours. Furthermore, exogenous Sema3A restored the suppressed alveolar bone formation and the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs induced by mechanical overload. Mechanistically, Sema3A prevented overstretching of F-actin induced by mechanical overload through ROCK2 pathway, maintaining mitochondrial dynamics as mitochondrial fusion. Therefore, Sema3A exhibits dual therapeutic effects in mechanical loads-induced bone formation, both as a pain-sensitive analgesic and a positive regulator for bone formation.
