GPR126, also known as ADGRG6, is one of the most deeply studied aGPCRs. Initially, GPR126 was thought to be a receptor associated with muscle development and was primarily expressed in the muscular and skeletal systems. With the deepening of research, it was found that GPR126 is expressed in multiple mammalian tissues and organs, and is involved in many biological processes such as embryonic development, nervous system development, and extracellular matrix interactions. Compared with other aGPCRs proteins, GPR126 has a longer N-terminal domain, which can bind to ligands one-to-one and one-to-many. Its N-terminus contains five domains, a CUB (complement C1r/C1s, Uegf, Bmp1) domain, a PTX (Pentraxin) domain, a SEA (Sperm protein, Enterokinase, and Agrin) domain, a hormone binding (HormR) domain, and a conserved GAIN domain. The GAIN domain has a self-shearing function, which is essential for the maturation, stability, transport and function of aGPCRs. Different SEA domains constitute different GPR126 isomers, which can regulate the activation and closure of downstream signaling pathways through conformational changes. GPR126 has a typical aGPCRs seven-transmembrane helical structure, which can be coupled to Gs and Gi, causing cAMP to up- or down-regulation, mediating transmembrane signaling and participating in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation and migration. GPR126 is activated in a tethered-stalk peptide agonism or orthosteric agonism, which is mainly manifested by self-proteolysis or conformational changes in the GAIN domain, which mediates the rapid activation or closure of downstream pathways by tethered agonists. In addition to the tethered short stem peptide activation mode, GPR126 also has another allosteric agonism or tunable agonism mode, which is specifically expressed as the GAIN domain does not have self-shearing function in the physiological state, NTF and CTF always maintain the binding state, and the NTF binds to the ligand to cause conformational changes of the receptor, which somehow transmits signals to the GAIN domain in a spatial structure. The GAIN domain can cause the 7TM domain to produce an activated or inhibited signal for signal transduction, For example, type IV collagen interacts with the CUB and PTX domains of GPR126 to activate GPR126 downstream signal transduction. GPR126 has homology of 51.6%-86.9% among different species, with 10 conserved regions between different species, which can be traced back to the oldest metazoans as well as unicellular animals.In terms of diseases, GPR126 dysfunction involves the pathological process of bone, myelin, embryo and other related diseases, and is also closely related to the occurrence and development of malignant tumors such as breast cancer and colon cancer. However, the biological function of GPR126 in various diseases and its potential as a therapeutic target still needs further research. This paper focuses on the structure, interspecies differences and conservatism, signal transduction and biological functions of GPR126, which provides ideas and references for future research on GPR126.

Aim To explore the molecular mechanism of luteolin against acute lung injury by network phar-macology and molecular docking technology,and to conduct experimental verification.Methods The re-lated targets of luteolin were predicted by PubChem and Swiss Target Prediction databases.Acute lung in-jury-related targets were collected through the Gene-Cards database.Venny 2.1 was used to draw the Venn diagram,and the common targets of drug and disease were obtained.The protein interaction network(PPI)was established by String online platform,and the core targets were screened by Cytoscape 3.8.2 software.The functional enrichment analysis of Gene Ontology(GO)and pathway enrichment analysis of Kyoto Ency-clopedia of Gene and Genome(KEGG)were per-formed on the common targets using the DAVID data-base,and the results were visualized.Finally,molecu-lar docking was performed by Auto Dock software,and the molecular results were visualized by Pymol.The mouse acute lung injury model was constructed.HE staining was used to detect histopathology,and Western blot was used to detect lung tissue related proteins.Results After screening,85 common targets were ob-tained.Among them,the core targets were AKT1,EG-FR,SRC,MMP9,ESR1,PTGS2,etc.GO enrichment analysis obtained 265 biological processes,including signal transduction,protein phosphorylation,and nega-tive regulation of apoptosis.There were 48 cells,main-ly including plasma membrane,cell solute,cytoplasm,etc.There are 107 molecular functions,mainly inclu-ding ATP binding,protein serine/threonine/tyrosine ki-nase activity,protein kinase activity and so on.A total of 92 signaling pathway were obtained by KEGG path-way enrichment analysis,which mainly acted on PI3 K-AKT signaling pathway,ErbB signaling pathway,VEGF signaling pathway,etc.Molecular docking results showed that luteolin had good docking activity with core targets AKT1,EGFR,SRC,MMP9,ESR1,PTGS2,MMP2,GSK3 B,KDR and PARP1.The binding ener-gy of ERS1,GSK3B and MMP2 was lower than-5.0 kal·mol-1,and the affinity with luteolin was stronger.The pathological results of lung tissue showed that lute-olin could inhibit inflammatory infiltration and had a strong anti-inflammatory effect in LPS-induced acute lung injury model in mice.Western blot experiments showed that luteolin might alleviate the inflammatory response by inhibiting the phosphorylation of AKT.Conclusions Luteolin can play an anti-acute lung in-jury role through multi-target and multi-channel mecha-nisms,which may be closely related to the inhibition of AKT phosphorylation.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of pneumococcal meningitis(PM),and drug sensitivity of Streptococcus pneumoniae(SP)isolates in Chinese children.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical information,laboratory data,and microbiological data of 160 hospitalized children under 15 years old with PM from January 2019 to December 2020 in 33 tertiary hospitals across the country.Results Among the 160 children with PM,there were 103 males and 57 females.The age ranged from 15 days to 15 years,with 109 cases(68.1% )aged 3 months to under 3 years.SP strains were isolated from 95 cases(59.4% )in cerebrospinal fluid cultures and from 57 cases(35.6% )in blood cultures.The positive rates of SP detection by cerebrospinal fluid metagenomic next-generation sequencing and cerebrospinal fluid SP antigen testing were 40% (35/87)and 27% (21/78),respectively.Fifty-five cases(34.4% )had one or more risk factors for purulent meningitis,113 cases(70.6% )had one or more extra-cranial infectious foci,and 18 cases(11.3% )had underlying diseases.The most common clinical symptoms were fever(147 cases,91.9% ),followed by lethargy(98 cases,61.3% )and vomiting(61 cases,38.1% ).Sixty-nine cases(43.1% )experienced intracranial complications during hospitalization,with subdural effusion and/or empyema being the most common complication[43 cases(26.9% )],followed by hydrocephalus in 24 cases(15.0% ),brain abscess in 23 cases(14.4% ),and cerebral hemorrhage in 8 cases(5.0% ).Subdural effusion and/or empyema and hydrocephalus mainly occurred in children under 1 year old,with rates of 91% (39/43)and 83% (20/24),respectively.SP strains exhibited complete sensitivity to vancomycin(100% ,75/75),linezolid(100% ,56/56),and meropenem(100% ,6/6).High sensitivity rates were also observed for levofloxacin(81% ,22/27),moxifloxacin(82% ,14/17),rifampicin(96% ,25/26),and chloramphenicol(91% ,21/23).However,low sensitivity rates were found for penicillin(16% ,11/68)and clindamycin(6% ,1/17),and SP strains were completely resistant to erythromycin(100% ,31/31).The rates of discharge with cure and improvement were 22.5% (36/160)and 66.2% (106/160),respectively,while 18 cases(11.3% )had adverse outcomes.Conclusions Pediatric PM is more common in children aged 3 months to under 3 years.Intracranial complications are more frequently observed in children under 1 year old.Fever is the most common clinical manifestation of PM,and subdural effusion/emphysema and hydrocephalus are the most frequent complications.Non-culture detection methods for cerebrospinal fluid can improve pathogen detection rates.Adverse outcomes can be noted in more than 10% of PM cases.SP strains are high sensitivity to vancomycin,linezolid,meropenem,levofloxacin,moxifloxacin,rifampicin,and chloramphenicol.[Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics,2024,26(2):131-138]

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

Aim To investigate the effect of quercetin on the aging model of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells established under microgravity. Methods Using 3D gyroscope, a aging model of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was constructed, and after receiving quercetin and microgravity treatment, the anti-aging effect of the quercetin was evaluated by detecting related proteins and oxidation indexes.

Objective To investigate the effects of forsythinol(Fo)on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP2)in hepatoma cells through Janus kinase 2/signal transduction and transcriptional activator 3(JAK2/STAT3)signaling pathway.Methods SMMC-7721 cells were divided into experimental-L,-M,-H groups,control group,inhibitor group and activator group.The control group was added with equal volume dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO);the experimental-L,-M,-H groups were treated with 50,200,500 μg·mL-1 Fo;and the inhibitor group was added with 50 μmol·L-1 JAK2/STAT3 inhibitor AG490 based on the experimental-M group.In the activator group,10 μmol·L-1 JAK2/STAT3 activator Broussonin E was added to the experimental-M group.Apoptosis was detected by deoxynucleotide terminal transferase-mediated dUTP notch end labeling(TUNEL);protein expression was detected by Western blot;real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to detect mRNA levels.Results The apoptosis rates of control group,experimental-M group,inhibitor group and activator group were(19.94±4.88)％,(27.04±5.27)％,(15.36±3.40)％and(46.66±7.89)％,respectively;the relative expression levels of phosphorylated JAK2 protein were 1.00±0.13,0.73±0.11,1.33±0.17 and 0.26±0.07,respectively;the relative expression levels of phosphorylated STAT3 protein were 1.00±0.12,0.27±0.04,0.88±0.13 and 0.12±0.04,respectively;the mRNA relative expression levels of MMP2 were 1.00±0.14,0.68±0.08,1.17±0.17 and 0.51±0.09,respectively.Compared with experimental-M group and control group,inhibitor group and activator group,there were statistically significant differences(P＜0.05,P＜0.001).Conclusion Fo promotes apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells,and its mechanism may be related to the effect of Fo on the expression of MMP2 by regulating JAK2-STAT3 signaling pathway.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the potential relationship between urinary metals copper (Cu), arsenic (As), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), iron (Fe), lead (Pb) and manganese (Mn) and grip strength. Methods We used linear regression models, quantile g-computation and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) to assess the relationship between metals and grip strength.Results In the multimetal linear regression, Cu (β=-2.119), As (β=-1.318), Sr (β=-2.480), Ba (β=0.781), Fe (β= 1.130) and Mn (β=-0.404) were significantly correlated with grip strength (P < 0.05). The results of the quantile g-computation showed that the risk of occurrence of grip strength reduction was -1.007 (95％ confidence interval:-1.362, -0.652; P < 0.001) when each quartile of the mixture of the seven metals was increased. Bayesian kernel function regression model analysis showed that mixtures of the seven metals had a negative overall effect on grip strength, with Cu, As and Sr being negatively associated with grip strength levels. In the total population, potential interactions were observed between As and Mn and between Cu and Mn (Pinteractions of 0.003 and 0.018, respectively).Conclusion In summary, this study suggests that combined exposure to metal mixtures is negatively associated with grip strength. Cu, Sr and As were negatively correlated with grip strength levels, and there were potential interactions between As and Mn and between Cu and Mn.
