Oridonin restores hepatic lipid homeostasis in an LXRα-ATGL/EPT1 axis-dependent manner
Yulian Chen, Huanguo Jiang, Zhikun Zhan, Jindi Lu, Tanwei Gu, Ping Yu, Weimin Liang, Xi Zhang, Shilong Zhong, Lan Tang
2023, 13(11): 1281-1295. doi: 10.1016/j.jpha.2023.08.010
Abstract:
Hepatosteatosis is characterized by abnormal accumulation of triglycerides (TG), leading to prolonged and chronic inflammatory infiltration. To date, there is still a lack of effective and economical therapies for hepatosteatosis. Oridonin (ORI) is a major bioactive component extracted from the trad...

Hansong Bai, Jiahua Lyu, Xinyu Nie, Hao Kuang, Long Liang, Hongyuan Jia, Shijie Zhou, Churong Li, Tao Li
2023, 13(11): 1296-1308. doi: 10.1016/j.jpha.2023.06.004
Abstract:
Ginsenoside Rg5 is a rare ginsenoside showing promising tumor-suppressive effects. This study aimed to explore its radio-sensitizing effects and the underlying mechanisms. Human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines A549 and Calu-3 were used for in vitro and in vivo analysis. Bioinformatic molecular dockin...
Canonical transient receptor potential channel 1 aggravates myocardial ischemia-and-reperfusion injury by upregulating reactive oxygen species
Hui-Nan Zhang, Meng Zhang, Wen Tian, Wei Quan, Fan Song, Shao-Yuan Liu, Xiao-Xiao Liu, Dan Mo, Yang Sun, Yuan-Yuan Gao, Wen Ye, Ying-Da Feng, Chang-Yang Xing, Chen Ye, Lei Zhou, Jing-Ru Meng, Wei Cao, Xiao-Qiang Li
2023, 13(11): 1309-1325. doi: 10.1016/j.jpha.2023.08.018
Abstract:
The canonical transient receptor potential channel (TRPC) proteins form Ca2+-permeable cation channels that are involved in various heart diseases. However, the roles of specific TRPC proteins in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury remain poorly understood. We observed that TRPC1 and TRPC6 ...
Nanoscale coordination polymer Fe-DMY downregulating Poldip2-Nox4-H2O2 pathway and alleviating diabetic retinopathy
Si-Yu Gui, Xin-Chen Wang, Zhi-Hao Huang, Mei-Mei Li, Jia-Hao Wang, Si-Yin Gui, Gan-Hua Zhang, Yao Lu, Li-Ming Tao, Hai-Sheng Qian, Zheng-Xuan Jiang
2023, 13(11): 1326-1345. doi: 10.1016/j.jpha.2023.05.002
Abstract:
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a prevalent microvascular complication of diabetes and the leading cause of blindness and severe visual impairment in adults. The high levels of glucose trigger multiple intracellular oxidative stress pathways, such as POLDIP2, resulting in excessive reactive oxygen spec...
Nylon 6-cellulose composite hosted in a hypodermic needle: Biofluid extraction and analysis by ambient mass spectrometry in a single device
