Objective To study the impacts of curcumin on the proliferation, migration and cisplatin (DDP) resistance of bladder cancer cells by regulating the liver kinase B1-AMP activated protein kinase-microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LKB1-AMPK-LC3) signaling pathway. Methods Human bladder cancer cell line T24 was cultured in vitro, and its DDP resistant T24/DDP cells were induced by cisplatin (DDP). After treating T24 and T24/DDP cells with different concentrations of curcumin, the optimal concentration of curcumin was screened by MTT assay. T24 cells were randomly grouped into control group, curcumin group, metformin group, and combination group of curcumin and metformin. After treatment with curcumin and LKB1-AMPK activator metformin, the proliferation, autophagy, migration, and apoptosis of T24 cells in each group were detected by MTT assay, monodansylcadavrine (MDC) fluorescence staining, cell scratch assay, and flow cytometry, respectively. Western blot was used to detect the expression of proteins related to LKB1-AMPK-LC3 signaling pathway in T24 cells of each group. T24/DDP cells were randomly assigned into control group, curcumin group, metformin group, and combination group of curcumin and metformin. Cells were treated with curcumin and metformin according to grouping and treated with different concentrations of DDP simultaneously. Then, the effect of curcumin on the DDP resistance coefficient of T24/DDP cells was detected by MTT assay. T24/DDP cells were randomly grouped into control group, DDP group, combination groups of DDP and curcumin, DDP and metformin, DDP, curcumin and metformi. After treatment with DDP, curcumin, and metformin, the proliferation, autophagy, migration, apoptosis, drug resistance, and the expression of proteins related to LKB1-AMPK-LC3 signaling pathway in T24/DDP cells of each group were detected with the same methods. Results Compared with the control group, the activity of T24 cells, relative number of autophagosomes, migration rate, Phosphorylated-LKB1 (p-LKB1)/LKB1, Phosphorylated-AMPK (p-AMPK)/AMPK, LC3II/LC3I, and the DDP resistance coefficient of T24/DDP cells in the curcumin group were lower, and the apoptosis rate of T24 cells was higher; the changes in various indicators in the metformin group were opposite to those in the curcumin group. Compared with the curcumin group, the activity of T24 cells, relative number of autophagosomes, migration rate, p-LKB1/LKB1, p-AMPK/AMPK, LC3II/LC3I, and the DDP resistance coefficient of T24/DDP cells in the combination group of curcumin and metformin were higher, and the apoptosis rate of T24 cells was lower. Compared with the control group, there were no obvious changes in various indicators of T24/DDP cells in the DDP group. Compared with the control group and DDP group, the viability of T24/DDP cells, relative number of autophagosomes, migration rate, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) protein expression, p-LKB1/LKB1, p-AMPK/AMPK, and LC3II/LC3I in the combination group of DDP and curcumin were lower, and the apoptosis rate of T24/DDP cells was higher; the changes in the above indicators in the combination group of DDP and metformin were opposite to those in the combination group of DDP and curcumin. Compared with the combination group of DDP and curcumin, the viability of T24/DDP cells, relative number of autophagosomes, migration rate, P-gp protein expression, p-LKB1/LKB1, p-AMPK/AMPK, and LC3II/LC3I in the combination group of DDP, curcumin and metformin were higher, and the apoptosis rate of T24/DDP cells was lower. Conclusion Curcumin can reduce the activity of LKB1-AMPK-LC3 signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting autophagy, proliferation and migration of bladder cancer cells, promoting their apoptosis, and weakening their resistance to DDP.

Objective To explore the role and mechanism of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL)-induced ferroptosis in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Methods A model of oxLDL-induced VSMC ferroptosis was established. VSMCs were co-treated with either the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin or the autophagy inducer carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), followed by detection of autophagy and ferroptosis-related indexes. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot were used respectively to analyze the expression of mTOR, glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), sequestosome 1 (p62), and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3). Flow cytometry was employed to assess VSMC death. C11 BODIPY fluorescent staining was used to measure cellular lipid peroxidation levels. Colorimetric assays were performed to determine the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), ferrous ion (Fe²⁺) and glutathione (GSH). Results oxLDL significantly upregulated mTOR expression in VSMCs, while increasing p62 expression and reducing LC3 expression, thereby suppressing VSMC autophagy. Compared with oxLDL treatment alone, rapamycin co-treatment reversed oxLDL-induced VSMC ferroptosis, as characterized by reduced VSMC death, increased GPX4 expression and GSH contents, along with decreased MDA content, Fe²⁺ content and lipid peroxidation levels. Similarly, CCCP co-treatment activated autophagy characterized by reduced p62 expression and elevated LC3 expression, which subsequently alleviated oxLDL-induced ferroptosis, showing reduced VSMC death, increased GPX4 expressions and GSH contents, and decreased MDA content, Fe²⁺ content and lipid peroxidation levels. Moreover, mTOR inhibition by rapamycin significantly reversed the oxLDL-induced upregulation of p62 and downregulation of LC3. Conclusion mTOR may promote oxLDL-induced VSMC ferroptosis by suppressing autophagy.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (2,6-DMBQ) in a mouse model of asthma. METHODS: SPF-grade BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 7 groups (n=8 each group): normal control group, ovalbumin (OVA) group, dimethyl sulfoxide+corn oil group, budesonide (BUD) group, and low, medium, and high dose 2,6-DMBQ groups. An asthma mouse model was established by OVA induction, followed by corresponding drug interventions. Non-invasive lung function tests were performed to measure airway hyperresponsiveness, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine levels of interleukin (IL)-17, IL-10, and serum immunoglobulin E in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. A cell counter was employed to detect eosinophil counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, while hematoxylin-eosin staining and periodic acid-Schiff staining were used to assess lung tissue pathological changes. Western blot was conducted to examine the expression of proteins related to the mammalian target of rapamycin pathway (p-AKT/AKT and p-p70S6K/p70S6K), and a fully automated biochemical analyzer was used to evaluate liver and kidney functions. RESULTS: Compared with the normal control group, the OVA group showed increased enhanced pause values, inflammation scores from hematoxylin-eosin staining, positive area from periodic acid-Schiff staining, percentage of eosinophils, IL-17/IL-10 ratio, serum immunoglobulin E levels, and relative expression levels of p-AKT/AKT and p-p70S6K/p70S6K (P<0.05). The BUD group and the medium and high dose 2,6-DMBQ groups exhibited decreased values for these indicators compared to the OVA group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS 2,6-DMBQ can inhibit the mTOR pathway to alleviate airway inflammation in asthmatic mice, possibly by mitigating the imbalance between Th17 and regulatory T cells.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of thymoquinone on the proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells and its molecular mechanism, so as to provide theoretical basis for the basic research on the anti-leukemia of traditional Chinese medicine. METHODS: The HL-60 and THP-1 cells were treated with thymoquinone at different concentration gradients, cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 method, morphological changes were detected by Wright-Giemsa method, apoptosis was detected by Annexin V/PI double staining flow cytometry, and apoptosis and signal pathway protein expression were detected by Western blot. Real-time quantitative fluorescence PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression changes of high mobility family members of SRY-related proteins (SOX). RESULTS: Thymoquinone inhibited the malignant proliferation of HL-60 and THP-1 cells, up-regulated the expression of pro-apoptotic protein Bax, down-regulated the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and Survivin, and hydrolyzed Caspase-3 to induce the apoptosis of HL-60 and THP-1 cells. Thymoquinone could also significantly down-regulate the phosphorylation of PI3K, Akt and mTOR, and inhibit the malignant biological characteristics of HL-60 and THP-1 cells by inhibiting the activation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. After thymoquinone intervention in HL-60 and THP-1 cells, the expression of SOX2 and SOX4 could be down-regulated significantly. At low concentration ( < 10 μmol/L), the expression of SOX12 was weakly affected by thymoquinone. With increasing concentration, the expression of SOX12 could be down-regulated, however, thymoquinone had no effect on SOX11 expression. CONCLUSION Thymoquinone can inhibit the proliferation of AML cells, and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the activation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, regulating the expression of apoptotic proteins and core members of SOX family.

METHODS: NB4 cells were divided into 5 μmol/L SPN group, 10 μmol/L SPN group, 20 μmol/L SPN group, 740 Y-P (10 μmol/L) group and 20 μmol/L SPN+740 Y-P group, and the untreated NB4 cells were used as the control group. CCK-8, Hoechst 33342 staining, flow cytometry and monodansulfonylpentanediamine (MDC) were used to detect cell proliferation, apoptosis and autophagy, respectively. The expression levels of Bcl-2, Bax, cyclin D1 and LC3B mRNA were detected by qRT-PCR. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway-related proteins in NB4 cells.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of DYRK1A in the cytarabine (Ara-C) resistance mechanism of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. METHODS: Overexpression and silencing of DYRK1A gene in THP-1 cells were used to observe whether the sensitivity of THP-1 cells to Ara-C was altered. RT-PCR was used to detect the changes in mRNA expression of related genes during Ara-C transport or metabolism. Western blot and RT-PCR were used to detect SAMHD1 expression after regulating DYRK1A expression in Ara-C treated cells. Co-IP technology was used to detect the interaction between Cyclin L2, DYRK1A, and SAMHD1. RESULTS: Overexpression of DYRK1A decreased Ara-C sensitivity in THP-1 cells while silencing DYRK1A increased it. Overexpression and silencing of DYRK1A did not affect Ara-C transport or metabolic gene expression. Overexpression of DYRK1A could increase the expression of SAMHD1 protein in cells, while silencing DYRK1A reduced SAMHD1 expression. Cyclin L2 interacted with DYRK1A and SAMHD1 in THP-1 cells. CONCLUSION DYRK1A is involved in Ara-C resistance in AML cells, and its mechanism may be related to increased expression of SAMHD1 by interacting with Cyclin L2.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of histone deacetylase (HDAC) levels on the proliferation and apoptosis of Burkitt lymphoma cells, and the changes in related signaling molecules in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, so as to explore the pathogenesis of Burkitt lymphoma. METHODS: HDAC levels in Burkitt lymphoma were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. CA46 and RAJI cells were treated with the HDAC selective inhibitor VPA. CCK8 assay was used to detect the proliferation ability of cells. Western Blot was used to measure the expression of apoptosis-related proteins, PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway proteins and their phosphorylation levels. RESULTS: The expression levels of classⅠ HDAC in Burkitt lymphoma were higher than those in normal cells, and the HDAC1 inhibitor VPA could inhibit the proliferation of CA46 and RAJI cells. VPA decreased HDAC expression in CA46 and RAJI cells, inhibited the phosphorylation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway molecules AKT and p70S6K, increased the expression of apoptotic proteins Cleaved Caspase-3, Cleaved Caspase-8, Cleaved Caspase-9 and Bax, and decreased the expression of anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and PARP. CONCLUSION Inhibition of HDAC activity can Attenuate the proliferation of Burkitt lymphoma cells and induce apoptosis by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway activity.

OBJECTIVES: Injury to human cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (HCMECs) compromises myocardial microcirculation and may contribute to major cardiovascular events such as coronary heart disease, posing a serious health threat. Understanding the mechanisms of hypoxia-induced HCMEC damage is thus of great clinical relevance. This study aims to investigate the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of Li Qi Huo Xue Di Wan against hypoxia-induced HCMEC injury. METHODS: HCMECs were cultured under hypoxic conditions for 24 hours to establish a cellular model of hypoxic injury. Cells were divided into six groups: normal control, hypoxia, hypoxia + low-dose Li Qi Huo Xue Di Wan, hypoxia + medium-dose, hypoxia + high-dose, and hypoxia + salvianolic acid B (positive control). Cell viability was assessed using the MTS assay. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were measured to evaluate cytotoxicity and oxidative stress. Activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), caspase-3, and caspase-8 were determined with corresponding assay kits. Apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry, and expression of necroptosis-related proteins, receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) and its phosphorylated form (p-RIPK1), receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) and its phosphorylated form (p-RIPK3), mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) and its phosphorylated form (p-MLKL), was examined via Western blotting. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, hypoxia significantly decreased cell viability (P<0.01), increased MDA levels (P<0.05), and reduced CAT and SOD activity (P<0.05), accompanied by elevated apoptosis (P<0.01) and increased levels of p-RIPK1, p-RIPK3, and p-MLKL (P<0.05). High-dose Li Qi Huo Xue Di Wan significantly improved cell viability (P<0.01), reduced MDA content (P<0.05), increased CAT activity (P<0.05), and suppressed necroptosis-related protein expression (P<0.05) compared with the hypoxia group. CONCLUSIONS Li Qi Huo Xue Di Wan exerts a protective effect against hypoxia-induced injury in HCMECs. This effect is mediated by attenuation of oxidative stress, thereby reducing both apoptosis and necroptosis.

BACKGROUND: Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death caused by acute ocular hypertension is an important characteristic of acute glaucoma. Receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) that mediates necroptosis is a potential therapeutic target for RGC death. However, the current understanding of the targeting agents and mechanisms of RIPK3 in the treatment of glaucoma remains limited. Notably, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have significantly advanced drug discovery. This study aimed to discover RIPK3 inhibitor with AI assistance. METHODS: An acute ocular hypertension model was used to simulate pathological ocular hypertension in vivo . We employed a series of AI methods, including large language and graph neural network models, to identify the target compounds of RIPK3. Subsequently, these target candidates were validated using molecular simulations (molecular docking, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity [ADMET] prediction, and molecular dynamics simulations) and biological experiments (Western blotting and fluorescence staining) in vitro and in vivo . RESULTS: AI-driven drug screening techniques have the potential to greatly accelerate drug development. A compound called HG9-91-01, identified using AI methods, exerted neuroprotective effects in acute glaucoma. Our research indicates that all five candidates recommended by AI were able to protect the morphological integrity of RGC cells when exposed to hypoxia and glucose deficiency, and HG9-91-01 showed a higher cell survival rate compared to the other candidates. Furthermore, HG9-91-01 was found to protect the retinal structure and reduce the loss of retinal layers in an acute glaucoma model. It was also observed that the neuroprotective effects of HG9-91-01 were highly correlated with the inhibition of PANoptosis (apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis). Finally, we found that HG9-91-01 can regulate key proteins related to PANoptosis, indicating that this compound exerts neuroprotective effects in the retina by inhibiting the expression of proteins related to apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis. CONCLUSION AI-enabled drug discovery revealed that HG9-91-01 could serve as a potential treatment for acute glaucoma.

The study aims to examine the effects and potential mechanisms of disulfiram (DSF) on cardiac hypertrophic injury, focusing on the role of transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1)-mediated pan-apoptosis (PANoptosis). H9C2 cardiomyocytes were treated with angiotensin II (Ang II, 1 µmol/L) to establish an in vitro model of myocardial hypertrophy. DSF (40 µmol/L) was used to treat cardiomyocyte hypertrophic injury models, either along or in combination with the TAK1 inhibitor, 5z-7-oxozeaenol (5z-7, 0.1 µmol/L). We assessed cell damage using propidium iodide (PI) staining, measured cell viability with CCK8 assay, quantified inflammatory factor levels in cell culture media via ELISA, detected TAK1 and RIPK1 binding rates using immunoprecipitation, and analyzed the protein expression levels of key proteins in the TAK1-mediated PANoptosis pathway using Western blot. In addition, the surface area of cardiomyocytes was measured with Phalloidin staining. The results showed that Ang II significantly reduced the cellular viability of H9C2 cardiomyocytes and the binding rate of TAK1 and RIPK1, significantly increased the surface area of H9C2 cardiomyocytes, PI staining positive rate, levels of inflammatory factors [interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-18, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α)] in cell culture media and p-TAK1/TAK1 ratio, and significantly up-regulated key proteins in the PANoptosis pathway [pyroptosis-related proteins NLRP3, Caspase-1 (p20), and GSDMD-N (p30), apoptosis-related proteins Caspase-3 (p17), Caspase-7 (p20), and Caspase-8 (p18), as well as necroptosis-related proteins p-MLKL, RIPK1, and RIPK3]. DSF significantly reversed the above changes induced by Ang II. Both 5z-7 and exogenous IL-1β weakened these cardioprotective effects of DSF. These results suggest that DSF may alleviate cardiac hypertrophic injury by inhibiting TAK1-mediated PANoptosis.
