Backgrounds Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a persistent and advanced pulmonary ailment. The roles of innate immunity and adaptive immunity are pivotal in the evolution of IPF. An ill-adjusted interaction between epithelial cells and immune cells is responsible for initiating the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) process and sustaining chronic inflammation, thereby fostering fibrosis progression. The intricacy of IPF pathogenesis has hindered the availability of efficacious agents. Elephantopus scaber Linn. (ESL) is a canonical Chinese medicine with significant immunoregulatory effects, and its aqueous extract has been proven to attenuate IPF symptoms in bleomycin (BLM)-induced mice. However, the underlying mechanism through which ESL relieves IPF remains unclear. Aim To validate whether ESL reverses IPF by mediating the immune response and EMT. Methods : Ultra-performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) and UPLC were used to identify the components and determine the concentrations of the specific compounds in the ESL. Network pharmacology and molecular docking were applied to predict the potential mechanism underlying the anti-IPF effect of ESL. BLM-induced IPF mice were used to validate the anti-IPF effect of ESL, and lung tissue was collected to test putative pathways involved in inflammation and EMT via immunohistochemistry (ICH), real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT–qPCR) and Western blotting. Results Sixty-one compounds were identified, and thirteen main ingredients were quantified in the ESL. In silico experiments predicted that the IPF-mediated reversal of adverse effects by ESL would be related to interruption of the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nuclear factor-k-gene binding (NF- ĸ B) inflammatory pathway and the transforming growth factor-beta l (TGF-β1)/phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/forkhead box O3 (FOXO3a) fibrosis pathway. In vivo experiments showed that ESL alleviates BLM-induced lung inflammation and fibrosis by reducing neutrophil aggregation and fibroblast foci, similar to the effects of the positive control drug pirfenidone (PFD). ESL markedly inhibited the transcription of TNF-α, IL-1 β, and IL-6, which are downstream genes of the NF-κB signaling pathway. Furthermore, the protein levels of TLR4 and p-NF- κ B were correspondingly inhibited in response to ESL treatment. Additionally, ESL reverses BLM-induced changes in the expression of EMT-related biological characteristic indicators (collagen I [COLIA1], E-cadherin, and alpha smooth muscle actin [ α -SMA]) at the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) level and markedly inhibits the expression of EMT-related upstream proteins (TGF- β 1, p-PI3K, p-Akt, and p-FOXO3a). Conclusion Our research suggested that ESL attenuates BLM-induced IPF through mediating the EMT process via the TGF-β1/PI3K/Akt/FOXO3a signaling pathway and inhibiting inflammation through the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway, highlighting that ESL can serve as an immunoregulator for relieving the abnormal immune response and reversing the EMT in IPF.

This study devised optimal conditions to extract Eucommia ulmoides leaf (EUL) polysaccharides using a cellulase and pectinase composite enzyme system based on one-way experiments and response surface methodology. Crude EUL polysaccharides (EULPs) were extracted and purified using a DEAE chromatography column. The polysaccharides EUL-w, EUL1, EUL2, and EUL3 were obtained by elution with water, 0.1 mol/L NaCl, 0.2 mol/L NaCl, and 0.3 mol/L NaCl, respectively. The EUL-w fraction had the highest hypoglycemic activity based on its α-amylase and α-glucosidase activities. The preliminary structure of purified EUL-w1 was elucidated. In vitro hypoglycemic activity studies and metabolomics analyses suggested that EUL-w1 modulated glucose metabolism by mediating the AMPK/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Our findings provide novel insights and data support for the utilization of EULPs as an emerging food resource in functional foods.

Chemokines play crucial roles in the regulation of immune cell migration and development. The CXCL12/CXCR4 axis has been extensively studied in mammals, but its regulatory mechanism in teleost fish remains unclear. In this study, we used Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) as a teleost model to investigate the mediation of the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis in IgM+ B cells. Our findings demonstrate that the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis exhibits chemotactic activity on IgM+ B cells and promotes the phagocytosis of IgM+ B cells. Blocking CXCR4 severely impairs the chemotaxis and phagocytosis of IgM+ B cells in vitro and reduces the percentages and numbers of IgM+ B cells that migrate to peripheral blood after pathogen infection in vivo. This reduction in migration leads to a decrease in the inflammatory response, an increase in tissue bacterial load, and a decrease in survival rate. We also discovered that the evolutionarily conserved PI3K-AKT signaling pathway and Girdin are involved in the immune response during Streptococcus agalactiae infection. Inhibitors of the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway prevent the chemotaxis and phagocytosis of IgM+ B cells, impair the expression and phosphorylation levels of related proteins in vitro, and prevent IgM+ B cells chemotaxis into the peripheral blood after pathogen infection in vivo. Furthermore, CXCR4 blocking significantly downregulates the expression of AKT and Girdin. Overall, our study reveals the regulatory mechanism of the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis on IgM+ B cells via the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway in tilapia, suggesting that the functions of the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis in B cells may be conserved between mammals and teleost fish.

Background: Cabazitaxel has been applied to the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), but the molecular mechanism remained to be fully understood. Methods: After treatment with Cabazitaxel alone or in combination with ionizing radiation (IR), CRPC cell viability, proliferation and apoptosis were determined by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, colony formation, and flow cytometry, respectively. Tumor volume was measured after the establishment of animal xenograft model. Relative expressions of proteins related to apoptosis (B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), and cleaved caspase 3) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway were measured by Western blot, and the phosphorylated-PI3K/PI3K and p-AKT/AKT ratios were determined as well. Results: Cell viability and proliferation were suppressed, and apoptosis was promoted in CRPC cells after Cabazitaxel treatment alone, accompanied with upregulated expressions of Bax and cleaved caspase 3 and downregulated Bcl-2 expression. Also, a single treatment with Cabazitaxel resulted in suppression of PI3K/AKT pathway activation, along with downregulated expressions of p-PI3K and p-AKT and a reduced ratio of p-PI3K/PI3K to p-AKT/AKT. Meanwhile, Cabazitaxel enhanced the effects of IR on suppressing survival and promoting apoptosis in CRPC cells through downregulating Bcl-2 and upregulating Bax and cleaved caspase 3. However, Cabazitaxel suppressed IR-induced PI3K/AKT pathway activation via downregulating p-PI3K and p-AKT, leading to a reduced ratio of p-PI3K/PI3K to p-AKT/AKT. Furthermore, Cabazitaxel further promoted the effects of IR on suppressing tumor growth in vivo . Conclusion: Cabazitaxel inhibited the proliferation and promoted the apoptosis and radiosensitivity of CRPC cells, which is related to the suppression of PI3K/AKT pathway, providing a therapeutic method for CRPC in clinical practice.

Plant-derived exosome-like nanovesicles (ELNs) are nano-sized vesicles extracted from edible plants. Lycium ruthenicum Murray (LRM) has been gaining increasing attention due to its nutritional and medicinal value, but the ELNs in LRM has not been reported. In this study, LRM-ELNs were obtained, and the proteins, lipids, microRNAs (miRNAs) and active components in LRM tissues and LRM-ELNs was analyzed by LC-MS/MS, LC-MS, high-throughput sequencing techniques, and physical and chemical analysis. LRM-ELNs can be uptaken by PC12 cells through macropinocytosis and caveolin-mediated endocytosis primarily. Transcriptomic and western blot experiments indicate that LRM-ELNs can inhibit Aβ-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells through the MAPK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways, with miRNAs playing a crucial role. These results indicate that LRM-ELNs have the protection effect on PC12 cells and can be considered as dietary supplements for alleviating neurodegenerative diseases.

Tissue engineering (TE) is commonly suggested as a promising remedy for the worldwide shortage of organ donors required for transplantation. Scholars are investigating organic and biocompatible materials as the principal options for regeneration to replicate the natural extracellular matrix. Hydrogels exhibit swift gel formation and outstanding biocompatibility, thus presenting considerable promise in tissue regeneration. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of a novel biomaterial complex, comprising gelatin (Gel), hyaluronic acid (HA) and exosomes (Exo), in promoting bone regeneration and elucidate its underlying molecular mechanism. The experimental results demonstrated that the Gel/HA/Exo complex could significantly enhance the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts, as well as the deposition and mineralization of bone matrix. Further mechanistic studies demonstrated that TGF-β in exosomes enhanced the biological activity of osteoblasts by activating the PI3K/Akt pathway, thus promoting the fracture healing process. The results of in vivo experiments indicated that the application of Gel/HA/Exo complexes significantly accelerated the fracture healing rate and improved the quality of healing, exhibiting good biocompatibility and controlled degradation properties. Consequently, the present study concluded that the Gel/HA/Exo complex not only has potential clinical applications, but also provides an important theoretical and experimental basis for the development of novel bone regeneration therapeutic strategies.

This study aimed to investigate the inhibitory effect of Zuojin Pill (ZJP) on KYSE 150 cells and xenograft tumours of the digestive tract cancer – esophageal cancer (EC) and its underlying mechanism. Initially, in vivo research demonstrated that oral administration of ZJP effectively inhibited the growth of EC tumours, and in vitro studies revealed that ZJP suppressed the proliferation, migration, and invasion of cells. Then, network pharmacology prediction identified the core target, active ingredient, and involvement of the PI3K-Akt signalling pathway in ZJP treatment of EC. Cell studies validated that ZJP affected the expression of core targets, and its active ingredients inhibited the proliferation of cells. Additionally, ZJP was shown to induce cell apoptosis, decrease mitochondrial membrane potential, and increase the level of intracellular oxidative stress. Further experimental verifications suggested that the inhibitory effects of ZJP on EC might be attributed to the modulation of PI3 K/Akt signalling pathways.

The widespread use of veterinary antibiotics in animal husbandry, such as tilmicosin (TIL), poses potential threats to environment pollution and human health. In this study, we conducted acute TIL exposure experiment using zebrafish model to explore the toxicological effects. In the concentration range of 20–80 mg/L, TIL did not affect zebrafish body length development but induced idiopathic scoliosis (IS)-like symptoms accompanied by impaired mobility. IS predominantly occurs in adolescents, while the etiology remains unclear. Further studies showed that the combination of quercetin and luteolin effectively alleviated TIL-induced spinal curvature and motor suppression. To explore the underlying mechanism, we performed network pharmacology analysis and enriched the PI3K-Akt pathway. We validated that the expression of key target genes in the PI3K-Akt pathway were significantly activated after TIL exposure, while quercetin and luteolin treatment effectively inhibited the PI3K-Akt pathway activation. Further experiments revealed that TIL exposure decreased brain neural cell apoptosis, thereby causing an increase in neurocytes, interfering with motor ability, and promoting IS-like vertebral malformations, which were especially noticeable during movement. This study expands our understanding that TIL exposure may be a predisposing factor for IS occurrence and progression, while the combination of quercetin and luteolin combination could protect against IS-like symptom by regulating PI3K-Akt pathway. Graphical The experiments revealed that exposure to tilmicosin (TIL) induces the development of scoliosis-like deformities, which could be effectively alleviated by the quercetin and luteolin combination. Further mechanistic studies found that TIL exposure activates the PI3K-Akt pathway, resulting in reduced apoptosis of brain neurons and increased neural cells, which could be inhibited by quercetin and luteolin. As disturbed brain development is a predisposing factor for scoliosis, the TIL-induced abnormalities in brain neurodevelopment exacerbate the progression of scoliosis-like deformities and dyskinesia.

Section
Background
To evaluate the effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) Dovitinib, Lapatinib, and Telatinib on angiogenesis in zebrafish, and to explore the regulatory mechanism of PI3K/AKT pathway activator SC79 on these inhibitory effects.
Section
Methods
Transgenic Fli-1:EGFP zebrafish embryos were used to observe the development and morphological changes of intersegmental vessels (ISVs) by fluorescence microscopy. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was employed to detect the expression of angiogenesis-related genes including kdrl, flt1, vegfaa, akt2, and pik3r1. After determining the maximum tolerated concentration (MTC) of each compound, the effects of single-drug treatment and SC79 co-treatment on vascular development and gene expression were observed.
Section
Results
Dovitinib (0.488 µM) and Telatinib (0.031 µM) significantly reduced the number (by 16.9% and 33.8%, respectively, P < 0.001) and length (by 14.9% and 23.3%, respectively, P < 0.001) of complete ISVs, while Lapatinib (1.95 µM) showed no significant inhibitory effect. Gene expression analysis revealed that Dovitinib mainly downregulated flt1 expression ( P < 0.01), whereas Telatinib more broadly downregulated kdrl ( P < 0.05), flt1 ( P < 0.001), and akt2 ( P < 0.01) expression. SC79 (2.44 nM) promoted angiogenesis, increasing ISV number ( P < 0.01) and length ( P < 0.05), while upregulating kdrl (2.03-fold, P < 0.001), flt1 (1.31-fold, P < 0.05), vegfaa (1.45-fold, P < 0.01), akt2 (1.64-fold, P < 0.01), and pik3r1 (1.48-fold, P < 0.05) expression. Co-treatment experiments showed that all three TKIs could counteract SC79’s pro-angiogenic effects to varying degrees, with Telatinib showing the strongest effect. Under SC79 co-treatment conditions, all TKIs significantly downregulated kdrl expression ( P < 0.001), but had differential effects on other genes: Dovitinib mainly downregulated flt1 ( P < 0.05), Lapatinib specifically downregulated vegfaa ( P < 0.01), akt2 ( P < 0.05), and pik3r1 ( P < 0.05), while Telatinib simultaneously downregulated flt1 ( P < 0.01), akt2 ( P < 0.05), and pik3r1 ( P < 0.01).
Section
Conclusions
Dovitinib and Telatinib exhibit significant anti-angiogenic effects, while Lapatinib is less effective. Different TKIs inhibit angiogenesis by regulating different signaling molecules: Dovitinib primarily targets VEGF receptors, Telatinib targets both receptors and the downstream PI3K/AKT pathway, and Lapatinib shows inhibitory effects on VEGF ligand expression in the SC79 background. SC79 promotes angiogenesis by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway and partially reverses the inhibitory effects of TKIs. These findings provide new insights for targeted therapy of abnormal angiogenesis in ophthalmic diseases, suggesting that precise regulation of angiogenesis may be achieved by modulating the balance between TKIs and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Background The shift in BMSC differentiation potential toward adipogenesis at the expense of osteogenesis is a critical mechanism underlying reduced bone formation in osteoporosis. Necroptosis has been implicated as a key driver of bone-fat imbalance in osteoporosis, though its mechanisms remain unclear. Taraxasterol (TAX), a bioactive triterpenoid derived from Taraxacum officinale , exhibits antitumor, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory properties. However, its potential role in osteoporosis has not yet been explored. Objective This study aimed to investigate whether TAX alleviates osteoporosis by regulating necroptosis and osteogenic–adipogenic differentiation in BMSCs, and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. Methods An ovariectomized (OVX) mouse model of osteoporosis was established for in vivo evaluation. Treatment groups received daily oral administration of TAX (5 or 20 mg/kg), with estradiol (E₂, 10 μg/kg) serving as a positive control. Bone microarchitecture and therapeutic response were assessed via micro-CT and immunohistochemistry, while femoral necroptosis and differentiation markers were evaluated by immunostaining. For in vitro studies, BMSCs isolated from osteoporosis patients were treated with the necroptosis inducer TSZ (TNF-α, SM-164, Z-VAD-FMK), with or without TAX. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the phenotype of MSCs. To identify molecular targets and mechanisms, an integrated approach combining network pharmacology, RNA sequencing, SPR assays, and molecular docking was employed. Subsequent analyses included western blotting, PI staining, and RNA interference to assess TAX-regulated necroptosis and PI3K/AKT/PPARγ pathway activity. ARS and ORO staining were employed to analyze osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation, respectively, and mitochondrial function was evaluated with TMRE and MitoSOX Red probes. Results TAX (20 mg/kg) significantly ameliorated bone loss in OVX mice, suppressed femoral necroptotic signaling, and reversed osteogenic–adipogenic imbalance in OVX-derived BMSCs. In vitro , TAX pretreatment attenuated TSZ-induced differentiation imbalance and necroptosis in patient-derived BMSCs and mitigated mitochondrial damage. Integrated network pharmacology and RNA sequencing revealed that TAX targets the PI3K/AKT/PPARγ axis. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated upregulation of the PI3K/AKT/PPARγ axis in the femurs of OVX mice following TAX administration. Molecular docking and SPR assays confirmed effective binding between TAX and PI3K. The protective effects of TAX were abolished by the PI3K inhibitor LY294002. Furthermore, TAX enhanced the rebalancing of osteogenic–adipogenic differentiation in PPARγ-silenced BMSCs. Conclusion Our study reveals for the first time that TAX restores osteogenic-adipogenic equilibrium in OP-BMSCs and promotes bone regeneration through PI3K/AKT/PPARγ activation and mitochondrial protection-mediated suppression of necroptosis. These results position TAX as a promising therapeutic candidate for osteoporosis.

Hyperlipidemia is a common chronic disease characterized by elevated levels of lipids in the blood. There is some evidence that suggests that berberine (BBR) might be beneficial for the treatment of hyperlipidemia. However, its low intestinal bioavailability limits its potential therapeutic action. In the present study, we explored the effect and the underlying mechanism of berberine–cinnamic acid co-crystal (BBR-CA), which is self-assembled from CA and BBR and displays a high intestinal bioavailability. In mice, BBR-CA showed the ability to decrease body weight gain and hepatic lipid accumulation in animals fed a high-fat diet. To further characterize the molecular basis of this effect, we established a hyperlipidemia cell model by treating human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2) with free fatty acids. Similarly to our in vivo experiments, lipid accumulation in free fatty acids-induced HepG2 cells was also reduced by BBR-CA. We hypothesized that BBR-CA might act through the regulation of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins-1 (SREBP-1), a key factor regulating lipid synthesis, and, indeed, SREBP-1 protein expression was inhibited by BBR-CA treatment, resulting in the decreased expression of its downstream proteins stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 and acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Furthermore, the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), AKT and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) was inhibited by BBR-CA, contributing to decreased active SREBP-1 in the nucleus, and was reversed and enhanced by the PI3K agonist recilisib and inhibitor LY294002, respectively. Taken together, our results suggest that BBR-CA could function by modulating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, resulting in decreased nuclear expression of SREBP-1, as well as reduced expression of stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 and acetyl-CoA carboxylase, thus alleviating hyperlipidemia. Further experimental validation is required to confirm these results.

Regulation of the immune response is key to promoting bone regeneration by electroactive biomaterials. However, how electrical signals at the micro- and nanoscale regulate the immune response and subsequent angiogenesis during bone regeneration remains to be elucidated. Here, the distinctly different surface potential distributions on charged poly(vinylidene fluoridetrifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) matrix surfaces are established by altering the dimensions of ferroelectric nanofillers from 0D BaTiO 3 nanoparticles (homogeneous surface potential distribution, HOPD) to 1D BaTiO 3 nanofibers (heterogeneous surface potential distribution, HEPD). Compared to HOPD, HEPD is significantly better at inducing the M2 polarization of macrophages and promoting neovascularization, which results in accelerated bone regeneration in vivo. The transcriptomic analysis reveals that macrophages modulated by HEPD display high expression levels of pro-angiogenic genes, which is corroborated by tube-formation assays, RT-qPCR, and western blot analyses in vitro. Mechanistic explorations elucidate activation of the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, which in turn induces the polarization of macrophages toward a pro-angiogenic phenotype. This study elucidates the cascade of biological processes by which heterogeneous electrical signals at the micro- and nanoscale modulate macrophage functions to promote vascularization and bone regeneration. Hence, this study provides new insights into how the micro- and nanoscale distribution characteristics of electrical signals facilitate bone regeneration.
