Biol Trace Elem Res 2024; 202:765-777. [PMID: 37191761 PMCID: PMC10764397 DOI: 10.1007/s12011-023-03700-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
Cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CFN) are employed in data storage, imaging, medication administration, and catalysis due to their superparamagnetic characteristics. The widespread use of CFN led to significantly increased exposure to people and the environment to these nanoparticles. Until now, there is not any published paper describing the adverse effect of repeated oral intake of this nanoformulation on rats' lungs. So, the current research aims to elucidate the pulmonary toxicity prompted by different concentrations of CFN in rats as well as to explore the mechanistic way of such toxicity. We used 28 rats that were divided equally into 4 groups. The control group received normal saline, and the experimental groups received CFN at dosage levels 0.05, 0.5, and 5 mg/kg bwt. Our findings revealed that CFN enhanced dose-dependent oxidative stress manifested by raising in the MDA levels and declining in the GSH content. The histopathological examination revealed interstitial pulmonary inflammation along with bronchial and alveolar damage in both 0.5 and 5 mg CFN given groups. All these lesions were confirmed by the immunohistochemical staining that demonstrated strong iNOS and Cox-2 protein expression. There was also a significant upregulation of TNFα, Cox-2, and IL-1β genes with downregulation of IL-10 and TGF-β genes. Additionally, the group receiving 0.05 mg CFN did not exhibit any considerable toxicity in all measurable parameters. We concluded that the daily oral intake of either 0.5 or 5 mg CFN, but not 0.05 mg, could induce pulmonary toxicity via NPs and/or its leached components (cobalt and iron)-mediated oxido-inflammatory stress. Our findings may help to clarify the mechanisms of pulmonary toxicity generated by these nanoparticles through outlining the standards for risk assessment in rats as a human model.

Diabetes Metab Syndr 2024; 18:102943. [PMID: 38211482 DOI: 10.1016/j.dsx.2024.102943] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 12/31/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 01/13/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Type-2 diabetes (T2D) poses a higher risk of noncardiovascular mortality in addition to the burden of cardiovascular mortality. The well-established cardiovascular benefits of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) could solely explain their apparent effects on all-cause mortality in T2D. The present meta-analysis aims to pool their effects on noncardiovascular mortality in T2D and summarize the recent evidence on plausible pathways mediating these effects. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and clinical trial registries were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with ≥1-year duration in adults with T2D reporting both cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in treatment versus placebo arms (PROSPERO: CRD42022337559). Noncardiovascular mortality was calculated by subtracting cardiovascular mortality events from all-cause mortality and risk ratios (RRs) were calculated. Random-effects meta-analysis was done. GRADE framework was used to assess evidence quality. RESULTS We identified 17 eligible RCTs pooling data retrieved from 109,892 patients. Randomization to GLP-1 RA treatment versus placebo was associated with reduced noncardiovascular mortality (RR = 0.90; 95%CI: 0.81-0.99; I2 = 0 %; p < 0.05), consistent with their effects on cardiovascular mortality (RR = 0.88; 95%CI: 0.81-0.95; I2 = 0 %; p < 0.01) in T2D. Compared to placebo, SGLT2i significantly reduced noncardiovascular mortality (RR = 0.90; 95%CI: 0.82-0.99; I2 = 0 %; p < 0.05) along with cardiovascular mortality (RR = 0.84; 95%CI: 0.77-0.92; I2 = 28 %; p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis showed no significant effects of heart failure or renal function on treatment benefits of SGLT2i on noncardiovascular mortality (p value > 0.2 for subgroup differences). CONCLUSION The impact of GLP-1RAs and SGLT2i on mortality in people with T2D extends beyond their cardiovascular benefits.

Abstract
Application of herbal medicines in the treatment of diseases is in the center of attention of medical scientific societies. Saffron (Cricus sativus L.) is a medicinal plant belonging to the Iridaceae family with different therapeutic properties. The outcomes of human and animal experiments indicate that therapeutic impacts of saffron and its constituents, crocin, crocetin, and safranal, mainly are mediated via inhibiting the inflammatory reactions and scavenging free radicals. It has been suggested that saffron and crocin extracted from it also up-regulate the expression of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), down-regulate nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway and untimely improve the body organs dysfunction. Inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) also is attributed to crocin. The current review narrates the therapeutic effects of saffron and its constituents on various body systems through looking for the scientific databases including Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar from the beginning of 2010 until the end of 2022.

Abstract
The airway epithelial barrier dysfunction plays a crucial role in pathogenesis of asthma and causes the amplification of downstream inflammatory signal pathway. S100 calcium binding protein A4 (S100A4), which promotes metastasis, have recently been discovered as an effective inflammatory factor and elevated in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in asthmatic mice. Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGFA), is considered as vital regulator in vascular physiological activities. Here, we explored the probably function of S100A4 and VEGFA in asthma model dealt with house dust mite (HDM) extracts. Our results showed that secreted S100A4 caused epithelial barrier dysfunction, airway inflammation and the release of T-helper 2 cytokines through the activation of VEGFA/VEGFR2 signaling pathway, which could be partial reversed by S100A4 polyclonal antibody, niclosamide and S100A4 knockdown, representing a potential therapeutic target for airway epithelial barrier dysfunction in asthma.

Prognostic Assessment of Oxidative Stress-Related Genes in Colorectal Cancer and New Insights into Tumor Immunity. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:2518340.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is crucial to the biology of tumors. Oxidative stress' potential predictive significance in colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been studied; nevertheless here, we developed a forecasting model based on oxidative stress to forecast the result of CRC survival and enhance clinical judgment. The training set was chosen from the transcriptomes of 177 CRC patients in GSE17536. For validation, 65 samples of colon cancer from GSE29621 were utilized. For the purpose of choosing prognostic genes, the expression of oxidative stress-related genes (OXEGs) was found. Prognostic risk models were built using multivariate Cox regression analysis, univariate Cox regression analysis, and LASSO regression analysis. The outcomes of the western blot and transcriptome sequencing tests were finally confirmed. ATF4, CARS2, CRP, GPX1, IL1B, MAPK8, MRPL44, MTFMT, NOS1, OSGIN2, SOD2, AARS2, and FOXO3 were among the 14 OXEGs used to build prognostic characteristics. Patients with CRC were categorized into low-risk and high-risk groups according on their median risk scores. Cox regression analysis using single and multiple variables revealed that OXEG-related signals were independent risk factors for CRC. Additionally, the validation outcomes from western blotting and transcriptome sequencing demonstrated that OXEGs were differently expressed. Using 14 OXEGs, our work creates a predictive signature that may be applied to the creation of new prognostic models and the identification of possible medication candidates for the treatment of CRC.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new class of antidiabetic drugs, acting by inhibiting the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys. They turned out to improve cardiovascular and renal outcomes not only in patients with type 2 diabetes but also in nondiabetic patients. At present, they are more and more widely used in patients without diabetes. Since there were concerns that SGLT2 inhibitors may increase fracture risk in diabetes, the aim of the study was to examine the effect of dapagliflozin and canagliflozin on the musculoskeletal system of nondiabetic, healthy rats. The experiments were carried out on mature female rats, divided into the control rats and rats treated with dapagliflozin (1.4 mg/kg p.o.) or canagliflozin (4.2 mg/kg p.o.) for 4 weeks. Serum bone turnover markers, skeletal muscle strength and mass, bone mass, density, histomorphometric parameters and mechanical properties were determined. Administration of the drugs did not affect the skeletal muscle mass and strength. There was no effect on serum bone turnover markers, and bone mass and composition. However, administration of both drugs resulted in disorders of cancellous bone microarchitecture and worsening of bone mechanical properties. In conclusion, both SGLT2 inhibitors unfavorably affected the skeletal system of healthy rats.
