Abstract
BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a complex condition characterized by impaired epithelial barriers and dysregulated immune cells. In this study, we demonstrated Forsythia velutina Nakai extract (FVE) simultaneously inhibits basophils, macrophages, keratinocytes, and T cells that are closely interrelated in AD development. METHODS We analyzed the effect of FVE on nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in macrophages, basophil degranulation, T cell activation, and tight junctions in damaged keratinocytes. Expression of cell-type-specific inflammatory mediators was analyzed, and the underlying signaling pathways for anti-inflammatory effects of FVE were investigated. The anti-inflammatory effects of FVE were validated using a DNCB-induced mouse model of AD. Anti-inflammatory activity of compounds isolated from FVE was validated in each immune cell type. RESULTS FVE downregulated the expression of inflammatory mediators and ROS production in macrophages through TLR4 and NRF2 pathways modulation. It significantly reduced basophil degranulation and expression of type 2 (T2) and pro-inflammatory cytokines by perturbing FcεRI signaling. Forsythia velutina Nakai extract also robustly inhibited the expression of T2 cytokines in activated T cells. Furthermore, FVE upregulated the expression of tight junction molecules in damaged keratinocytes and downregulated leukocyte attractants, as well as IL-33, an inducer of T2 inflammation. In the AD mouse model, FVE showed superior improvement in inflammatory cell infiltration and skin structure integrity compared to dexamethasone. Dimatairesinol, a lignan dimer, was identified as the most potent anti-inflammatory FVE compound. CONCLUSION Forsythia velutina Nakai extract and its constituent compounds demonstrate promising efficacy as a therapeutic option for prolonged AD treatment by independently inhibiting various cell types associated with AD and disrupting the deleterious link between them.

Abstract
The Golgi apparatus modifies and transports secretory and membrane proteins. In some instances, the production of secretory and membrane proteins exceeds the capacity of the Golgi apparatus, including vesicle trafficking and the post-translational modification of macromolecules. These proteins are not modified or delivered appropriately due to insufficiency in the Golgi function. These conditions disturb Golgi homeostasis and induce a cellular condition known as Golgi stress, causing cells to activate the 'Golgi stress response,' which is a homeostatic process to increase the capacity of the Golgi based on cellular requirements. Since the Golgi functions are diverse, several response pathways involving TFE3, HSP47, CREB3, proteoglycan, mucin, MAPK/ETS, and PERK regulate the capacity of each Golgi function separately. Understanding the Golgi stress response is crucial for revealing the mechanisms underlying Golgi dynamics and its effect on human health because many signaling molecules are related to diseases, ranging from viral infections to fatal neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, it is valuable to summarize and investigate the mechanisms underlying Golgi stress response in disease pathogenesis, as they may contribute to developing novel therapeutic strategies. In this review, we investigate the perturbations and stress signaling of the Golgi, as well as the therapeutic potentials of new strategies for treating Golgi stress-associated diseases.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is one of the life-threatening ailments causing high mortality and morbidity worldwide. Despite the innovation in medical genetics, the prognosis for metastatic colorectal cancer in patients remains unsatisfactory. Recently, lichens have attracted the attention of researchers in the search for targets to fight against cancer. Lichens are considered mines of thousands of metabolites. Researchers have reported that lichen-derived metabolites demonstrated biological effects, such as anticancer, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, analgesic, antipyretic, antiproliferative, and cytotoxic, on various cell lines. However, the exploration of the biological activities of lichens' metabolites is limited. Thus, the main objective of our study was to evaluate the anticancer effect of secondary metabolites isolated from lichen (Usnea barbata 2017-KL-10) on the human colorectal cancer cell line HCT116. In this study, 2OCAA exhibited concentration-dependent anticancer activities by suppressing antiapoptotic genes, such as MCL-1, and inducing apoptotic genes, such as BAX, TP53, and CDKN1A(p21). Moreover, 2OCAA inhibited the migration and invasion of colorectal cancer cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Taken together, these data suggest that 2OCAA is a better therapeutic candidate for colorectal cancer.
