This study investigates the neuroprotective potential of extracellular vesicles (EVs) delivering quercetin-3-O-β-d-glucuronic acid (QG-EVs) in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI). Targeted brain delivery of QG-EVs was confirmed, with neuron cells identified as pivotal in modulating CIRI through single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Activating transcription factor 4 (Atf4) was highlighted as a critical regulatory factor, and in vitro studies revealed that silencing Atf4 diminished the neuroprotective effects of QG-EVs, increasing oxidative stress levels and neuronal apoptosis. In a CIRI mouse model, the knockdown of Atf4 attenuated the protective outcomes provided by QG-EVs, further affirming the role of Atf4 in mediating neuroprotection. Behavioral assessments and protein analysis showed that QG-EVs significantly reduced neuronal damage and pro-apoptotic markers, while improving neurological function via Atf4 upregulation. The outcomes hint at the potential of QG-EVs as a beneficial therapeutic modality to mitigate neuronal damage in CIRI by enhancing Atf4 expression, highlighting its potential for improving ischemic stroke outcomes.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of dapagliflozin on liver lipid metabolism and gut microecology in mice with metabolic associated fatty liver disease （MAFLD）， and to clarify its potential mechanism. MethodsA total of 50 male C57 mice were randomly divided into Control group， type 2 diabetes+MAFLD group （MAFLD group）， dapagliflozin group （DAPA group）， meldonium group （THP group）， and dapagliflozin+meldonium group （DAPA+THP group）， with 10 mice in each group. High-fat diet combined with streptozotocin was used to establish a mouse model of MAFLD. Treatment outcomes were assessed based on histopathology and biochemical parameters such as blood glucose and blood lipid levels， and the transcriptomic and metagenomic analyses were used to identify differentially expressed genes and the changes in gut microbiota. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for comparison between two groups； the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups， and the Nemenyi test was used for comparison between two groups. ResultsHistopathological examination showed that the mice in the MAFLD group had excessive lipid deposition and hepatocyte steatosis； compared with the MAFLD group， the DAPA group had a significant improvement in hepatocyte steatosis， while the THP group and the DAPA+THP group had a less significant improvement compared with the DAPA group. Compared with the Control group， the MAFLD group had a significant increase in fasting blood glucose （P<0.05）， significant increases in the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， malondialdehyde， total cholesterol， triglyceride， and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （P<0.05）， and a significant reduction in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （P<0.05）. Compared with the MAFLD group， the DAPA group， the THP group， and the DAPA+THP group had significant reductions in the serum levels of ALT and AST （P<0.05）. The results of 16S rRNA sequencing showed that compared with the Control group， the MAFLD group had significant changes in gut microbiota， with an increase in Firmicutes and a reduction in Bacteroidetes， as well as reductions in S24-7 and Erysipelotrichaceae and an increase in Lactobacillaceae. The levels of the above flora were upregulated to normal levels in the DAPA group， the THP group， and the DAPA+THP group. The liver transcriptomic analysis showed that the enriched metabolic pathways included steroid hormone biosynthesis， bile secretion， inflammatory mediator regulation of TRP， fatty acid elongation， and lipid biodegradation processes， and the related genes mainly involved the key targets of lipid metabolism such as Acot2， Angptl4， Scd2， and Npc1l1. ConclusionDapagliflozin can alleviate MAFLD through the pathways such as steroid hormone biosynthesis， bile secretion， inflammatory mediator regulation of TRP， and fatty acid elongation， as well as by regulating gut microbiota homeostasis.

Objective: To explore the mechanism of the Peiyuan Jieyu formula in treating depression by assessing its impact on a lipopolysaccharide-induced (LPS-induced) depression mouse model. Methods: We created a mouse model of depression by exposing mice that had previously received chronic stress to intraperitoneal LPS injections. The mice were divided into the following groups: control, model, fluoxetine, Tiansi Yin, Sini powder, and low-, medium-, and high-dose Peiyuan Jieyu formula groups. Forced swim and tail suspension tests were used to assess the efficacy of the depression (despair) model, and weight gain rates were also measured. Furthermore, serum levels of various depression and inflammation-associated molecules, including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), tryptophan, 5-hydroxytryptamine, kynurenine (KYN), and kynurenic acid (KA) were assessed. Furthermore, the expression levels of ionic calcium-binding adaptor molecule-1 (IBA-1) and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) mRNA in hippocampal microglia were measured. Results: The model group displayed greater despair-associated immobility, which was shortened in response to various doses of Peiyuan Jieyu formula. Furthermore, formula administration significantly reduced serum TNF-α levels and hippocampal IDO mRNA expression. The high formula dose also reduced IFN-γ and IBA-1 levels, the latter was also decreased in response to the medium formula dose. However, the low formula dose reduced serum KYN level and KYN/tryptophan (TRP) and KYN/KA ratios. Conclusion The Peiyuan Jieyu formula holds immense potential in treating depression in a mouse model, potentially inhibiting inflammation and improving TRP-KYN metabolic disorders.
