Abstract
Limited studies are associated with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI)-related osteoimmune disorder currently. Bu-Shen-Ning-Xin decoction (BSNXD) displayed a favorable role in treating postmenopausal osteoporosis. However, its impact on the POI-related osteoimmune disorder remains unclear. The study primarily utilized animal experiments and network pharmacology to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of BSNXD on the POI-related osteoimmune disorder. First, a 4-vinylcyclohexene dioxide (VCD)-induced POI murine model was conducted to explore the therapeutical action of BSNXD. Second, we analyzed the active compounds of BSNXD and predicted their potential mechanisms for POI-related osteoimmune disorder via network pharmacology, further confirmed by molecular biology experiments. The results demonstrated that VCD exposure led to elevated follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels, a 50% reduction in the primordial follicles, bone microstructure changes, and macrophage activation, indicating an osteoimmune disorder. BSNXD inhibited macrophage activation and osteoclast differentiation but did not affect serum FSH and estradiol levels in the VCD-induced POI model. Network pharmacology predicted the potential mechanisms of BSNXD against the POI-related osteoimmune disorder involving tumor necrosis factor α and MAPK signaling pathways, highlighting BSNXD regulated inflammation, hormone, and osteoclast differentiation. Further experiments identified BSNXD treatment suppressed macrophage activation via downregulating FSH receptor (FSHR) expression and inhibiting the phosphorylation of ERK and CCAAT enhancer binding proteins β. In conclusion, BSNXD regulated POI-related osteoimmune disorder by suppressing the FSH/FSHR pathway to reduce macrophage activation and further inhibiting osteoclastogenesis.

Luo D, Tang X, Wang Y, Ying S, He Y, Lin H, Khoso PA, Li S. Selenium deficiency exacerbated Bisphenol A-induced intestinal toxicity in chickens: Apoptosis and cell cycle arrest mediated by ROS/P53. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 913:169730. [PMID: 38160834 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.169730] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 12/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a phenolic organic synthetic compound that is used as the raw material of polycarbonate plastics, and its safety issues have recently attracted wide attention. Selenium (Se) deficiency has gradually developed into a global disease affecting intestinal function via oxidative stress and apoptosis. However, the toxic effects and potential mechanisms of BPA exposure and Se deficiency in the chicken intestines have not been studied. In this study, BPA exposure and/or Se deficiency models were established in vivo and in vitro to investigate the effects of Se deficiency and BPA on chicken jejunum. The results showed that BPA exposure and/or Se deficiency increased jejunum oxidative stress and DNA damage, activated P53 pathway, led to mitochondrial dysfunction, and induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Using protein-protein molecular docking, we found a strong binding ability between P53 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1, thereby regulating mitochondrial dysfunctional apoptosis. In addition, we used N-acetyl-L-cysteine and pifithrin-α for in vitro intervention and found that N-acetyl-L-cysteine and pifithrin-α intervention reversed the aforementioned adverse effects. This study clarified the potential mechanism by which Se deficiency exacerbates BPA induced intestinal injury in chickens through reactive oxygen species/P53, which provides a new idea for the study of environmental combined toxicity of Se deficiency, and insights into animal intestinal health from a new perspective.

Maternal exposure to 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide during pregnancy leads to disorder of gut microbiota and bile acid metabolism in offspring. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 269:115811. [PMID: 38086265 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.115811] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
Our previous study reveals that maternal exposure to 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (VCD) during pregnancy causes insufficient ovarian follicle reserve and decreased fertility in offspring. The present study aims to further explore the reasons for the significant decline of fecundity in mice caused by VCD, and to clarify the changes of gut microbiota and microbial metabolites in F1 mice. The ovarian metabolomics, gut microbiota and microbial metabolites were analyzed. The results of ovarian metabolomics analysis showed that maternal VCD exposure during pregnancy significantly reduced the concentration of carnitine in the ovaries of F1 mice, while supplementation with carnitine (isovalerylcarnitine and valerylcarnitine) significantly increased the number of ovulation. The results of 16 S rDNA-seq and microbial metabolites analysis showed that maternal VCD exposure during pregnancy caused disordered gut microbiota, increased abundance of Parabacteroides and Flexispira bacteria that are involved in secondary bile acid synthesis. The concentrations of NorDCA, LCA-3S, DCA and other secondary bile acids increased significantly. Our results indicate that maternal exposure to VCD during pregnancy leads to disorder in gut microbiota and bile acid metabolism in F1 mice, accompanying with decreased ovarian function, providing further evidence that maternal exposure to VCD during pregnancy has intergenerational deleterious effects on offspring.

[PMID: 37080417 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2023.113605] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/16/2023] [Indexed: 04/22/2023]
Abstract
As a member of Ubiquitin-specific protease subfamily, ubiquitin specific protease 7 (USP7) has been reported to participate in a variety of cellular processes, including cell cycle, apoptosis, DNA damage response, and epigenetic modification. However, its function in preimplantation embryos is still obscure. To investigate the functions of USP7 during preimplantation embryo development, we used siRNA to degrade endogenous USP7 messenger RNA. We found that USP7 knockdown significantly decreased the development rate of mouse early embryos. Moreover, depletion of USP7 induced the accumulation of the DNA lesions and apoptotic blastomeres in early embryos. In addition, USP7 knockdown caused an abnormal H3K27me3 modification in 2-cell embryos. Overall, our results indicate that USP7 maintains genome stability perhaps via regulating H3K27me3 and DNA damage, consequently controlling the embryo quality.
