In the context of the development of transplant oncology, it is of great clinical significance to find a drug with both antitumor and immunosuppressive effects for liver transplantation patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The antitumor effect of ginkgolic acid (GA) has been confirmed, and some studies suggest that GA may also have an immunosuppressive effect. The immunosuppressive effect of GA was evaluated by histopathology, T-cell subpopulation, and cytokine detection in rat liver transplantation and mouse cardiac transplantation models, and transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis was used to explore the underlying mechanism of the GA immunosuppressive effect. Metabolites, activation, and ferroptosis markers of CD8⁺ T cells were detected in vivo and in vitro. Based on rat liver transplantation and mouse cardiac transplantation models, the immunosuppressive effect of GA was first confirmed by histopathology, T-cell subpopulation, and cytokine detection. In the mouse cardiac transplantation model, transcriptomics combined with metabolomics demonstrated for the first time that GA inhibited lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) expression and pyruvate metabolism in CD8⁺ T cells. It was confirmed in vivo and in vitro that GA inhibited pyruvate metabolism of CD8⁺ T cells through LDHA, inhibiting their activation and inducing ferroptosis. Overexpression of LDHA partially reversed the effect of GA on the metabolism, activation, and ferroptosis of CD8⁺ T cells in vitro. GA mediates metabolic reprogramming through LDHA to inhibit the activation and induce ferroptosis of CD8⁺ T cells to exert an immunosuppressive effect, which lays an experimental foundation for the future clinical application of its immunosuppressive effect.

To screen and identify a chitosanase with high stability, we cloned the chitosanase gene from Bacillus atrophaeus with a high protease yield from the barren saline-alkali soil and expressed this gene in Escherichia coli. The expressed chitosanase of B. atrophaeus (BA-CSN) was purified by nickel-affinity column chromatography. The properties including optimal temperature, optimal pH, substrate specificity, and kinetic parameters of BA-CSN were characterized. The results showed that BA-CSN had the molecular weight of 31.13 kDa, the optimal temperature of 55 ℃, the optimal pH 5.5, and good stability at temperatures below 45 ℃ and pH 4.0-9.0. BA-CSN also had good stability within 4 h of pH 3.0 and 10.0, be activated by K⁺, Na⁺, Mn²⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, and Co²⁺, (especially by Mn²⁺), and be inhibited by Fe³⁺, Cu²⁺, and Ag⁺. BA-CSN showcased the highest relative activity in the hydrolysis of colloidal chitosan, and it had good hydrolysis ability for colloidal chitin. Under the optimal catalytic conditions, BA-CSN demonstrated the Michaelis constant K_m and maximum reaction rate V_max of 9.94 mg/mL and 26.624 μmoL/(mL·min), respectively, for colloidal chitosan. In short, BA-CSN has strong tolerance to acids and alkali, possessing broad industrial application prospects.

OBJECTIVE To mine and analyze the post-marketing adverse drug event （ADE） signals of irinotecan in adults and children populations， and to provide a reference for clinical safe medication. METHODS ADE reports of irinotecan from the first quarter of 2004 to the first quarter of 2023 in the US FDA adverse event reporting system database were extracted and the risk signals of irinotecan were detected through the reporting odds ratio and proportional reporting ratio. Statistical analysis was performed for ADE reports and signals of patients aged＜18 years （children） and ≥18 years （adults）. RESULTS A total of 8 013 ADE reports with irinotecan as the primary suspect drug were identified， including 7 656 and 357 ADE reports in adults and children， respectively. A total of 518 and 75 ADE signals were detected in the adults and children， and the mainly involved systems and organs including gastrointestinal disorders， blood and lymphatic system disorders， systemic disorders and various reactions at the administration site， etc. Most of the top 20 ADE signals in terms of frequency were documented in the drug instructions of irinotecan. New ADE signals in adults included peripheral neuropathy， oral mucosal inflammation， pulmonary embolism， epidermal nevus syndrome and reproductive toxicity， while hypertension， progressive neoplasms， tumor lysis syndromes， and embolism were new ADE signals in children. CONCLUSIONS The above new suspected high-risk signals not mentioned in the instructions should raise a high level of alertness in clinical practice of irinotecan.
