Abstract
Bone is a common site of metastasis for lung cancer. The "seed and soil" hypothesis suggests that the bone marrow microenvironment ("soil") may provide a conducive survival environment for metastasizing tumor cells ("seeds"). The bone marrow microenvironment, comprising a complex array of cells, includes bone marrow adipocytes (BMAs), which constitute about 70% of the adult bone marrow volume and may play a significant role in tumor bone metastasis. BMAs can directly provide energy for tumor cells, promoting their proliferation and migration. Furthermore, BMAs participate in the tumor microenvironment's osteogenesis regulation, osteoclast(OC) regulation, and immune response through the secretion of adipokines, cytokines, and inflammatory factors. However, the precise mechanisms of BMAs in lung cancer bone metastasis remain largely unclear. This review primarily explores the role of BMAs and their secreted adipokines (leptin, adiponectin, Nesfatin-1, Resistin, chemerin, visfatin) in lung cancer bone metastasis, aiming to provide new insights into the mechanisms and clinical treatment of lung cancer bone metastasis.

Nesfatin-1 regulates the HMGB1-TLR4-NF-κB signaling pathway to inhibit inflammation and its effects on the random skin flap survival in rats. Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 124:110849. [PMID: 37633241 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.110849] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2023] [Revised: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/28/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Random skin flaps are often placed by plastic surgeons to treat limb deformities and dysfunction. Nesfatin-1 (NES) is a peptide that exerts angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant effects. We assessed the impact of NES on flap survival and the underlying mechanism. METHODS We modified the McFarlane random skin flap rat model. Thirty-six male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group (corn oil solution with DMSO), low-dose group (NES-L at 10 µg/kg/day), and high-dose group (NES-H at 20 µg/kg/day). On day 7 after surgery, average flap survival areas were calculated. Laser Doppler blood flow monitoring and lead oxide/gelatin angiography were used to evaluate blood perfusion and neovascularization, respectively. Flap histopathological status was evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined. Immunohistochemical techniques were used to evaluate the expression of angiogenetic and inflammatory factors. RESULTS In the experimental groups, the mean skin flap survival areas and blood perfusion increased considerably. The SOD activities in the experimental groups increased and the MDA contents decreased. Immunohistochemically, VEGF expression was upregulated in the experimental groups and the expression levels of inflammatory factors decreased markedly. CONCLUSION NES inhibited ischemic skin flap necrosis, promoted angiogenesis, and reduced ischemia-reperfusion injury and inflammation. Inhibition of the inflammatory HMGB1-TLR4-NF-κB signal pathway, which reduced flap inflammation and oxidative stress, may explain the enhanced flap survival.

A Multifunctional Polyethylene Glycol/Triethoxysilane-Modified Polyurethane Foam Dressing with High Absorbency and Antiadhesion Properties Promotes Diabetic Wound Healing. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:12506. [PMID: 37569881 PMCID: PMC10419382 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241512506] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2023] [Revised: 08/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/04/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
The delayed healing of chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), is a clinical problem. Few dressings can promote wound healing by satisfying the demands of chronic wound exudate management and tissue granulation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to prepare a high-absorption polyurethane (PU) foam dressing modified by polyethylene glycol (PEG) and triethoxysilane (APTES) to promote wound healing. PEG-modified (PUE) and PEG/APTES-modified (PUESi) dressings were prepared by self-foaming reactions. Gauze and PolyMem were used as controls. Next, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, thermomechanical analyses, scanning electron microscopy and tensile strength, water absorption, anti-protein absorption, surface dryness and biocompatibility tests were performed for in vitro characterization. Wound healing effects were further investigated in nondiabetic (non-DM) and diabetes mellitus (DM) rat models. The PUE and PUESi groups exhibited better physicochemical properties than the gauze and PolyMem groups. Moreover, PUESi dressing showed better anti-adhesion properties and absorption capacity with deformation. Furthermore, the PUESi dressing shortened the inflammatory phase and enhanced collagen deposition in both the non-DM and DM animal models. To conclude, the PUESi dressing not only was fabricated with a simple and effective strategy but also enhanced wound healing via micronegative-pressure generation by its high absorption compacity with deformation.

Abstract
Nucleobindin2 (NUCB2) is a member of nucleobindin family which was first found in the nucleus of the hypothalamus, and had a relationship in diet and energy homeostasis. Its location in normal tissues such as stomach and islet further confirms that it plays a vital role in the regulation of physiological functions of the body. Besides, NUCB2 participates in tumorigenesis through activating various signal-pathways, more and more studies indicate that NUCB2 might impact tumor progression by promoting or inhibiting proliferation, apoptosis, autophagy, metastasis, and invasion of tumor cells. In this review, we comprehensively stated NUCB2's expression and functions, and introduced the role of NUCB2 in physiology and pathology and its mechanism. What is more, pointed out the potential direction of future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nesfatin-1 (NES-1), an anorexigenic peptide, was reported to have anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic actions in several inflammation models. METHODS To elucidate potential renoprotective effects of NES-1, unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) was induced in male Sprague Dawley rats by ligating left ureters. The rats were injected intraperitoneally with either saline (SL) or NES-1 (10 μg/kg/day) for 7 or 14 days (n = 8 in each group). On the 7th or 14th day, obstructed kidneys were removed for the isolation of leukocytes for flow-cytometric analysis and for the assessments of biochemical and histopathological changes. RESULTS Opposite to glutathione levels, renal myeloperoxidase activity in the SL-treated UUO group was significantly increased compared to sham-operated group, while NES-1 treatment abolished the elevation. The percentages of CD8+/CD4+ T-lymphocytes infiltrating the obstructed kidneys were increased in SL-treated groups but treatment with NES-1 did not prevent lymphocyte infiltration. Elevated TNF-a levels in SL-treated UUO group was decreased with NES-1. Although total degeneration scores were similarly increased in all UUO groups, tubular dilatation scores were significantly increased in UUO groups and lowered by NES-1 only in the 7-day treated group. Elevated interstitial fibrosis scores in the SL-treated groups were decreased in both 7- and 14-day NES-1 treated groups, while alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and apoptosis scores were depressed in both NES-1 treated groups. CONCLUSION The present data demonstrate that UUO-induced renal fibrosis is ameliorated by NES-1, which appears to involve the inhibition of neutrophil infiltration and thereby amelioration of oxidative stress and inflammation. These data suggest that NES-1 may have a regulatory role in protecting the kidneys against obstruction-induced renal injury.

Abstract
Sepsis leads to systemic hypotension, disturbed perfusion, inflammation, and tissue toxicity in vital organs. Neuropeptide W (NPW) has modulatory effects in the control of blood pressure and inflammatory processes, implicating a potential beneficial effect against sepsis-induced oxidative damage. Under anesthesia, male Sprague Dawley rats underwent cecal ligation and puncture. Immediately after surgery, either saline or TNF-alpha inhibitor (etanercept; 1 mg/kg) antibiotic (ceftriaxon; 10 mg/kg) combination or NPW (0.1, 1, or 3 μg/kg) was given subcutaneously, and injections were repeated on the 12th and 24th h. The sham-operated control group was treated with saline at the same time points. All rats were euthanized on the 25th h of surgery. Sepsis resulted in oxidative damage of the brain, heart, lung, liver, and kidney. Elevations in blood urea nitrogen and alkaline phosphatase, showing renal and hepatic dysfunction, were not evident when septic rats were treated with NPW. NPW reduced serum levels of C-reactive protein, corticosterone, and interleukin-6, while histopathologically verified tissue damage in all the studied tissues was ameliorated. NPW treatment suppressed lipid peroxidation in the heart, lung, and brain, and the depleted antioxidant GSH levels of the brain and heart were replenished by NPW. Moreover, sepsis-related neutrophil recruitment to the liver and lung was also suppressed by NPW. Although the survival rate of the rats was not significantly prolonged by NPW, most of these improvements in systemic and local inflammatory events were comparable with those reached by the etanercept and antibiotic combination, suggesting the therapeutic impact of NPW during the acute period of sepsis.

Abstract
Significance: Millions of people worldwide suffer from diabetes mellitus and its complications, including chronic diabetic wounds. To date, there are few widely successful clinical therapies specific to diabetic wounds beyond general wound care, despite the vast number of scientific discoveries in the pathogenesis of defective healing in diabetes. Recent Advances: In recent years, murine animal models of diabetes have enabled the investigation of many possible therapeutics for diabetic wound care. These include specific cell types, growth factors, cytokines, peptides, small molecules, plant extracts, microRNAs, extracellular vesicles, novel wound dressings, mechanical interventions, bioengineered materials, and more. Critical Issues: Despite many research discoveries, few have been translated from their success in murine models to clinical use in humans. This massive gap between bench discovery and bedside application begs the simple and critical question: what is still missing? The complexity and multiplicity of the diabetic wound makes it an immensely challenging therapeutic target, and this lopsided progress highlights the need for new methods to overcome the bench-to-bedside barrier. How can laboratory discoveries in animal models be effectively translated to novel clinical therapies for human patients? Future Directions: As research continues to decipher deficient healing in diabetes, new approaches and considerations are required to ensure that these discoveries can become translational, clinically usable therapies. Clinical progress requires the development of new, more accurate models of the human disease state, multifaceted investigations that address multiple critical components in wound repair, and more innovative research strategies that harness both the existing knowledge and the potential of new advances across disciplines.

Abstract
The recessive form of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a crippling disease caused by impairments in the junctions of the dermis and the basement membrane of the epidermis. Using ectopic expression of hTERT/hTERT + BMI-1 in primary cells, we developed expansible cultures of RDEB fibroblasts and keratinocytes. We showed that they display the properties of their founders, including morphology, contraction ability and expression of the respective specific markers including reduced secretion of type VII collagen (C7). The immortalized keratinocytes retained normal stratification in 3D skin equivalents. The comparison of secreted protein patterns from immortalized RDEB and healthy keratinocytes revealed the differences in the contents of the extracellular matrix that were earlier observed specifically for RDEB. We demonstrated the possibility to reverse the genotype of immortalized cells to the state closer to the progenitors by the Cre-dependent hTERT switch off. Increased β-galactosidase activity and reduced proliferation of fibroblasts were shown after splitting out of transgenes. We anticipate our cell lines to be tractable models for studying RDEB from the level of single-cell changes to the evaluation of 3D skin equivalents. Our approach permits the creation of standardized and expandable models of RDEB that can be compared with the models based on primary cell cultures.

Nesfatin-1 ameliorates oxidative bowel injury in rats with necrotizing enterocolitis: The role of the microbiota composition and claudin-3 expression. J Pediatr Surg 2020; 55:2797-2810. [PMID: 32171536 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2020.02.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2019] [Revised: 01/24/2020] [Accepted: 02/17/2020] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Ongoing high mortality due to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) necessitates the investigation of novel treatments to improve the outcome of the affected newborns. The aim was to elucidate the potential therapeutic impact of the nesfatin-1, a peptide with anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects in several inflammatory processes, on NEC-induced newborn rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sprague-Dawley pups were separated from their mothers, fed with a hyperosmolar formula and exposed to hypoxia, while control pups had no intervention. NEC-induced pups received saline or nesfatin-1 (0.2 μg/kg/day) for 3 days, while some nesfatin-1 treated pups were injected with capsaicin (50 μg/g) for the chemical ablation of afferent neurons. On the 4th day, clinical state and macroscopic gut assessments were made. In intestines, immunohistochemical staining of cycloxygenase-2 (COX-2), nuclear factor (NF)-κB-p65 (RelA), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), claudin-3 and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) were performed, while gene expressions of COX-2, occludin, claudin-3, NF-κB-p65 (RelA) and VEGF were determined using q-PCR. In fecal samples, relative abundance of bacteria was quantified by q-PCR. Biochemical evaluation of oxidant/antioxidant parameters was performed in both intestinal and cerebral tissues. RESULTS Claudin-3 and ZO-1 immunoreactivity scores were significantly elevated in the nesfatin-1 treated control pups. Nesfatin-1 reduced NEC-induced high macroscopic and clinical scores, inhibited NF-κB-65 pathway and maintained the balance of oxidant/antioxidant systems. NEC increased the abundance of Proteobacteria with a concomitant reduction in Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes, while nesfatin-1 treatment reversed these alterations. Modulatory effects of nesfatin-1 on microbiota and oxidative injury were partially reversed by capsaicin. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that nesfatin-1 abolished NEC-induced reduction in claudin-3. Gene expressions of COX-2, NF-κB, occludin and claudin-3 were elevated in saline-treated NEC pups, while these up-regulated mRNA levels were not further altered in nesfatin-1-treated NEC pups. CONCLUSION Nesfatin-1 could be regarded as a potential preventive agent for the treatment of NEC.

Abstract
Nesfatin-1 is a novel anorexic peptide hormone that also exerts cardiovascular protective effects in rodent models. However, nesfatin-1 treatment at high doses also exerts vasopressor effects, which potentially limits its therapeutic application. Here, we evaluated the vasoprotective and vasopressor effects of nesfatin-1 at different doses in mouse models. Wild-type mice and those with the transgene nucleobindin-2, a precursor of nesfatin-1, were employed. Wild-type mice were randomly assigned to treatment with vehicle or nesfatin-1 at 0.2, 2.0 or 10 μg/kg/day (Nes-0.2, Nes-2, Nes-10, respectively). Subsequently, mice underwent femoral artery wire injury to induce arterial remodeling. After 4 weeks, injured arteries were collected for morphometric analysis. Compared with vehicle, nesfatin-1 treatments at 2.0 and 10 μg/kg/day decreased body weights and elevated plasma nesfatin-1 levels with no changes in systolic blood pressure. Furthermore, these treatments reduced neointimal hyperplasia without inducing undesirable remodeling in injured arteries. However, nesfatin-1 treatment at 0.2 μg/kg/day was insufficient to elevate plasma nesfatin-1 levels and showed no vascular effects. In nucleobindin-2-transgenic mice, blood pressure was slightly higher but neointimal area was lower than those observed in littermate controls. In cultured human vascular endothelial cells, nesfatin-1 concentration-dependently increased nitric oxide production. Additionally, nesfatin-1 increased AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylation, which was abolished by inhibiting liver kinase B1. We thus demonstrated that nesfatin-1 treatment at appropriate doses suppressed arterial remodeling without affecting blood pressure. Our findings indicate that nesfatin-1 can be a therapeutic target for improved treatment of peripheral artery disease.

Abstract
Nesfatin-1 is a novel peptide with anorexigenic and anti-hyperglycemic properties. According to previous studies, this multi-functional peptide protects dopaminergic cells against neurotoxicity via anti-apoptotic effects. In addition, Nesfatin-1 protects myocardial tissue after myocardial infarction via anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic mechanisms. In this study, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of nesfatin-1 against cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in the CA1 area of hippocampus in rats. 56 male Wistar rats (240-270 g) were randomly selected and allocated into four groups: (1) sham, (2) nesfatin-1, (3) ischemia/reperfusion, (4) ischemia/reperfusion+nesfatin-1. Cerebral ischemia induced by the occlusion of the common carotid arteries for 20 min was followed by reperfusion. Saline as a vehicle and nesfatin-1 (20 μg/kg) were injected intraperitoneally (IP) at the start of cerebral reperfusion. Apoptotic and necrotic cell death was detected by TUNEL and Nissl staining. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and antioxidant enzymes (GSH and SOD) levels were measured by the ELISA method. The results showed that cerebral ischemia increased the apoptotic and necrotic cell death in the CA1 area of hippocampus, while, treatment with nesfatin-1significantly reduced apoptotic and necrotic cell death. Moreover, the MDA levels of the hippocampus in ischemic rats were higher, whereas in nesfatin-1-treated rats the MDA levels were decreased. Furthermore, the SOD and GSH levels in the ischemic rats were decreased, whilst in ischemic rats treated with nesfatin-1, the SOD and GSH levels were increased. This study for the first time found that nesfatin-1 treatment improves CA1 hippocampus injuries after cerebral ischemia through preventing neuronal cell death and enhancement of antioxidant defenses.

Abstract
Testicular torsion causes ischemia-reperfusion injury and an increased risk of infertility. Nesfatin-1 is a novel peptide with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the putative beneficial effects of nesfatin-1 on oxidative injury and impaired testicular function induced by testis torsion. Under anesthesia, male Sprague-Dawley rats (180-230 g; n = 24) had sham-operation or they underwent testicular torsion by rotating the left testis 720° and fixing it for 2 h, followed by a 2-h detorsion. Rats in each group were treated intraperitoneally with either nesfatin-1 (0.3 μg/kg) or saline prior to the torsion or sham-torsion. At the end of the 4-h experimental period, tissue samples were removed for evaluation of spermatozoa, molecular and histochemical analyses. In saline-treated torsion/detorsion group, a high percentage of abnormal spermatozoa with head defects was observed, which was abolished in nesfatin-1-treated torsion/detorsion group. The levels of 8-OHdG, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-6, caspase-3 were increased in the saline-treated torsion/detorsion group as compared to sham-operated group, while nesfatin-1 pre-treatment significantly decreased the expressions of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, depressed apoptosis, and also reduced the tubular degeneration. In addition, nesfatin-1 in torsion/detorsion group elevated expressions of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta and reduced expressions of protein kinase B (AKT) and cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) in the testis tissue. The present findings show that nesfatin-1, by regulating AKT and CREB signaling pathways and pro-inflammatory/anti-inflammatory cytokine balance, preserves the spermatogenic cells and ameliorates torsion-detorsion-induced tubular degeneration.

Abstract
The present study was designed to evaluate the cardioprotective effects of nesfatin-1, a novel peptide with anorexigenic properties, in rats with isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial infarction (MI), and to further investigate the role of Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway in the protective effect of nesfatin-1. To induce MI, ISO was subcutaneously injected into the rats for two consecutive days at a dosage of 85mg/kg/day. ISO-induced myocardial damage was indicated by elevated levels of cardiac specific troponin-T, enhanced myocardial expression of proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1β, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α), and increased number of cells with apoptotic and necrotic appearance in the myocardial tissue. Levels of p-Akt/Akt and p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β significantly decreased in heart tissue after ISO-induced MI. However, intraperitoneal administration of nesfatin-1 (10μg/kg/day) elicited a significant cardioprotective activity by lowering the levels of cardiac troponin-T and proinflammatory cytokines, indicating the protective effect of nesfatin-1 against ISO-induced MI. The biochemical findings were further confirmed by histopathological examination, which was demonstrated by reduced number of apoptotic and necrotic cells. Moreover, expressions of p-Akt/Akt and p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β in the myocardium of MI group rats were significantly increased by nesfatin-1 administration, suggesting that nesfatin-1, which appears to possess anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties, may confer protection against ISO-induced MI via an Akt/GSK-3β-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nesfatin-1, belonging to adipokine family, serves as an anti-inflammatory mediator. We performed this investigation to evaluate the relation between serum and vitreous nesfatin-1 concentrations with diabetic retinopathy (DR). METHODS This study was performed in a population of 189 diabetic patients and 48 control subjects. Diabetic patients were then divided into diabetic patients without DR, non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) patients, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) patients. RESULTS Serum and vitreous nesfatin-1 concentrations were significantly lower in the diabetic patients than in the controls. NPDR patients had reduced vitreous nesfatin-1 concentrations compared with patients without DR. In addition, there were significantly lower serum and vitreous nesfatin-1 concentrations in PDR patients compared with the other three groups. Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum nesfatin-1 was negatively correlated with body mass index and fasting plasma glucose in diabetic patients. CONCLUSION Serum and vitreous nesfatin-1 concentrations were negatively correlated with DR.

Abstract
Obstructive jaundice (OJ) can be defined as cessation of bile flow into the small intestine due to benign or malignant changes. Nesfatin-1, recently discovered anorexigenic peptide derived from nucleobindin-2 in hypothalamic nuclei, was shown to have anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic effects. This study is aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of nesfatin-1 on OJ in rats. Twenty-four adult male Wistar-Hannover rats were randomly assigned to three groups: sham (n = 8), control (n = 8), and nesfatin (n = 8). After bile duct ligation, the study groups were treated with saline or nesfatin-1, for 10 days. Afterward, blood and liver tissue samples were obtained for biochemical analyses, measurement of cytokines, determination of the oxidative DNA damage, DNA fragmentation, and histopathologic analyses. Alanine aminotransferase and gamma-glutamyl transferase levels were decreased after the nesfatin treatment; however, these drops were statistically non-significant compared to control group (p = 0.345, p = 0.114). Malondialdehyde levels decreased significantly in nesfatin group compared to control group (p = 0.032). Decreases in interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α levels from the liver tissue samples were not statistically significant in nesfatin group compared to control group. The level of oxidative DNA damage was lower in nesfatin group, however this result was not statistically significant (p = 0.75). DNA fragmentation results of all groups were similar. Histopathological examination revealed that there was less neutrophil infiltration, edema, bile duct proliferation, hepatocyte necrosis, basement membrane damage, and parenchymal necrosis in nesfatin compared to control group. The nesfatin-1 treatment could alleviate cholestatic liver damage caused by OJ due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
