Abstract
BACKGROUND Episodic memory loss is a prominent clinical manifestation of Alzheimer's disease (AD), which is closely related to tau pathology and hippocampal impairment. Due to the heterogeneity of brain neurons, the specific roles of different brain neurons in terms of their sensitivity to tau accumulation and their contribution to AD-like social memory loss remain unclear. Therefore, further investigation is necessary. METHODS We investigated the effects of AD-like tau pathology by Tandem mass tag proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis, social behavioural tests, hippocampal electrophysiology, immunofluorescence staining and in vivo optical fibre recording of GCaMP6f and iGABASnFR. Additionally, we utilized optogenetics and administered ursolic acid (UA) via oral gavage to examine the effects of these agents on social memory in mice. RESULTS The results of proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses revealed the characteristics of ventral hippocampal CA1 (vCA1) under both physiological conditions and AD-like tau pathology. As tau progressively accumulated, vCA1, especially its excitatory and parvalbumin (PV) neurons, were fully filled with mislocated and phosphorylated tau (p-Tau). This finding was not observed for dorsal hippocampal CA1 (dCA1). The overexpression of human tau (hTau) in excitatory and PV neurons mimicked AD-like tau accumulation, significantly inhibited neuronal excitability and suppressed distinct discrimination-associated firings of these neurons within vCA1. Photoactivating excitatory and PV neurons in vCA1 at specific rhythms and time windows efficiently ameliorated tau-impaired social memory. Notably, 1 month of UA administration efficiently decreased tau accumulation via autophagy in a transcription factor EB (TFEB)-dependent manner and restored the vCA1 microcircuit to ameliorate tau-impaired social memory. CONCLUSION This study elucidated distinct protein and phosphoprotein networks between dCA1 and vCA1 and highlighted the susceptibility of the vCA1 microcircuit to AD-like tau accumulation. Notably, our novel findings regarding the efficacy of UA in reducing tau load and targeting the vCA1 microcircuit may provide a promising strategy for treating AD in the future.

Abstract
Melasma, a common, acquired facial pigmentation skin disorder, presents a straightforward clinical diagnosis but poses challenges in terms of effective management. The precise underlying causes of melasma remain elusive, and the current therapeutic approaches predominantly encompass pharmaceutical and laser interventions, with limited efficacy. Transdermal administration stands as a prevalent treatment method for melasma, often facilitated by the application of microneedles. Among these, tranexamic acid emerges as a frequently employed therapeutic agent. A subset of microneedles, known as roller microneedles, plays a significant role in this approach by delicately puncturing the epidermis with multiple fine needles, synergizing with drug delivery. This methodology not only enhances drug absorption but also augments treatment efficacy while minimizing tissue trauma. These attributes forecast promising avenues for the treatment of melasma. This article primarily introduces the combination of roller microneedle and tranexamic acid solution in the treatment of melasma and demonstrates the efficacy of roller microneedle and tranexamic acid solution in the treatment of melasma through clinical cases.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the variation of ferroptosis-related markers in HaCaT cell photoaging models induced by ultraviolet-B (UVB). Methods UVB-treated HaCaT cells served as the model (UVB group) for cellular photoaging, whereas untreated HaCaT cells served as the control group. HaCaT cells were exposed to UVB and the ferroptosis inhibitor Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) as part of the UVB+Fer-1 group, and co-cultured with the ferroptosis inducer Erastin as part of the UVB+Erastin group. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection kit and senescence-related β galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining were used to evaluate the senescence of HaCaT cells. Lipid reactive oxygen species were detected by C11 BODIPY581/591 probe and mitochondrial morphology was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The mRNA expressions of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and ferroptosis-suppressor-protein 1 (FSP1) were detected by real-time reverse transcription-PCR (RT-RCP), and the level of GPX4 protein was measured by immunofluorescence assay. Results The UVB group had considerably greater levels of ROS, SA-β-gal, and lipid reactive oxygen species than the control group. The UVB group's mitochondrial volume was reduced, the membrane density increased, and the mitochondrial crest decreased or even disappeared. GPX4 and FSP1 expression levels were similarly found to be lower in the UVB group. Furthermore, the positive rate of SA-β-gal and lipid reactive oxygen species in the UVB+Fer-1 group was much lower than in the UVB group, but it was reverse in the UVB+Erastin group. This study showed that induced ferroptosis can aggravate aging, and vice versa. Conclusion According to the findings, ferroptosis may be linked to UVB-induced skin photoaging, which could be attenuated by inhibition of ferroptosis.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia due to a variety of etiological factors. Long-term metabolic stress induces harmful inflammation leading to chronic complications, mainly diabetic ophthalmopathy, diabetic cardiovascular complications and diabetic nephropathy. With diabetes complications being one of the leading causes of disability and death, the use of anti-inflammatories in combination therapy for diabetes is increasing. There has been increasing interest in targeting significant regulators of the inflammatory pathway, notably receptor-interacting serine/threonine-kinase-1 (RIPK1) and receptor-interacting serine/threonine-kinase-3 (RIPK3), as drug targets for managing inflammation in treating diabetes complications. In this review, we aim to provide an up-to-date summary of current research on the mechanism of action and drug development of RIPK1 and RIPK3, which are pivotal in chronic inflammation and immunity, in relation to diabetic complications which may be benefit for explicating the potential of selective RIPK1 and RIPK3 inhibitors as anti-inflammatory therapeutic agents for diabetic complications.

Abstract
Background Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a relatively prevalent extra-articular manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and contributes to significant morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to analyze the association between chitinase-3 like-protein-1(CHI3L1) and the presence of RA-ILD. Methods A total of 239 RA patients fulfilling the American Rheumatism Association (ACR) 1987 revised criteria were enrolled and subclassified as RA-ILD and RA-nILD based on the results of high-resolution computed tomography scans (HRCT) of the chest. The disease activity of RA was assessed by Disease Activity Score for 28 joints (DAS28) and categorized as high, moderate, low, and remission. Chemiluminescence immunoassays were applied to determine the serum levels of CHI3L1. Univariate analysis was performed and the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves were plotted to evaluate the correlation between RA-ILD and CHI3L1. Results Among the eligible RA patients studied, 60 (25.1%) patients were diagnosed with RA-ILD. Compared with RA-nILD, RA patients with ILD had significantly higher median age (median [IQR], 68.00 [62.00-71.75] vs 53.00 [40.00-63.00], p<0.001) and a higher proportion of males (21 (35.0%) vs 30 (16.8%), p=0.003). Notably, differences in DAS28 scores between the two groups were not observed. The serum level of CHI3L1 was significantly higher in RA-ILD patients (median [IQR], 69.69 [44.51-128.66] ng/ml vs 32.19 [21.63-56.99] ng/ml, p<0.001). Furthermore, the areas under the curve (AUC) of CHI3L1 attained 0.74 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.68-0.81, p<0.001) in terms of identifying patients with RA-ILD from those without ILD. Similar trends were seen across the spectrum of disease activity based on DAS28-ESR. Conclusion Our findings of elevated serum CHI3L1 levels in RA-ILD patients suggest its possible role as a biomarker to detect RA-ILD noninvasively.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) are the most serious and common diabetes-associated complications. DN and DR are all highly prevalent and dangerous global diseases, but the underlying mechanism remains to be elucidated. Ferroptosis, a relatively recently described type of cell death, has been confirmed to be involved in the occurrence and development of various diabetic complications. The disturbance of cellular iron metabolism directly triggers ferroptosis, and abnormal iron metabolism is closely related to diabetes. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the role of ferroptosis in DN and DR is still unclear, and needs further study. In this review article, we summarize and evaluate the mechanism of ferroptosis and its role and progress in DN and DR, it provides new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of DN and DR.

Abstract
Diabetes is a common chronic metabolic disease, and its incidence continues to increase year after year. Diabetic patients mainly die from various complications, with the most common being diabetic cardiomyopathy. However, the detection rate of diabetic cardiomyopathy is low in clinical practice, and targeted treatment is lacking. Recently, a large number of studies have confirmed that myocardial cell death in diabetic cardiomyopathy involves pyroptosis, apoptosis, necrosis, ferroptosis, necroptosis, cuproptosis, cellular burial, and other processes. Most importantly, numerous animal studies have shown that the onset and progression of diabetic cardiomyopathy can be mitigated by inhibiting these regulatory cell death processes, such as by utilizing inhibitors, chelators, or genetic manipulation. Therefore, we review the role of ferroptosis, necroptosis, and cuproptosis, three novel forms of cell death in diabetic cardiomyopathy, searching for possible targets, and analyzing the corresponding therapeutic approaches to these targets.

Abstract
After aversive stress, people either choose to return to their previously familiar social environment or tend to adopt temporary social withdrawal to buffer negative emotions. However, which behavior intervention is more appropriate and when remain elusive. Here, we unexpectedly found that stressed mice experiencing social isolation exhibited less anxiety than those experiencing social contact. Within the first 24 h after returning to their previous social environment, mice experienced acute restraint stress (ARS) displayed low social interest but simultaneously received excessive social disturbance from their cage mates, indicating a critical time window for social isolation to balance the conflict. To screen brain regions that were differentially activated between the poststress social isolation and poststress social contact groups, we performed ΔFosB immunostaining and found that ΔFosB + signals were remarkably increased in the vDG of poststress social isolation group compared with poststress social contact group. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the other anxiety- and social-related brain regions, such as prelimbic cortex, infralimbic cortex, nucleus accumbens, etc. These data indicate that vDG is closely related to the differential phenotypes between the poststress social isolation and poststress social contact groups. Electrophysiological recording, further, revealed a higher activity of vDG in the poststress social isolation group than the poststress social contact group. Chemogenetically inhibiting vDG excitatory neurons within the first 24 h after ARS completely abolished the anxiolytic effects of poststress social isolation, while stimulating vDG excitatory neurons remarkably reduced anxiety-like behaviors in the poststress social contact group. Together, these data suggest that the activity of vDG excitatory neurons is essential and sufficient to govern the anxiolytic effect of poststress social isolation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to uncover a beneficial role of temporal social isolation in acute stress-induced anxiety. In addition to the critical 24-h time window, activation of vDG is crucial for ameliorating anxiety through poststress social isolation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND RA is a common chronic and systemic autoimmune disease, and the diagnosis is based significantly on autoantibody detection. This study aims to investigate the glycosylation profile of serum IgG in RA patients using high-throughput lectin microarray technology. METHOD Lectin microarray containing 56 lectins was applied to detect and analyze the expression profile of serum IgG glycosylation in 214 RA patients, 150 disease controls (DC), and 100 healthy controls (HC). Significant differential glycan profiles between the groups of RA and DC/HC as well as RA subgroups were explored and verified by lectin blot technique. The prediction models were created to evaluate the feasibility of those candidate biomarkers. RESULTS As a comprehensive analysis of lectin microarray and lectin blot, results showed that compare with HC or DC groups, serum IgG from RA patients had a higher affinity to the SBA lectin (recognizing glycan GalNAc). For RA subgroups, RA-seropositive group had higher affinities to the lectins of MNA-M (recognizing glycan mannose) and AAL (recognizing glycan fucose), and RA-ILD group had higher affinities to the lectins of ConA (recognizing glycan mannose) and MNA-M while a lower affinity to the PHA-E (recognizing glycan Galβ4GlcNAc) lectin. The predicted models indicated corresponding feasibility of those biomarkers. CONCLUSION Lectin microarray is an effective and reliable technique for analyzing multiple lectin-glycan interactions. RA, RA-seropositive, and RA-ILD patients exhibit distinct glycan profiles, respectively. Altered levels of glycosylation may be related to the pathogenesis of the disease, which could provide a direction for new biomarkers identification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Olfactory dysfunction appears prior to cognitive decline, and thus it has been suggested to be an early predictor of Alzheimer's disease. However, it is currently not known whether and how olfactory threshold test could serve as a quick screening tool for cognitive impairment. OBJECTIVE To define olfactory threshold test for screening cognitive impairment in two independent cohorts. METHODS The participants are comprised of two cohorts in China, 1,139 inpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM, Discovery cohort) and 1,236 community-dwelling elderly (Validation cohort). Olfactory and cognitive functions were evaluated by Connecticut Chemosensory Clinical Research Center test and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), respectively. Regression analyses and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were carried out to determine the relation and discriminative performance of the olfactory threshold score (OTS) regarding identification of cognition impairment. RESULTS Regression analysis showed that olfactory deficit (reducing OTS) was correlated with cognitive impairment (reducing MMSE score) in two cohorts. ROC analysis revealed that the OTS could distinguish cognitive impairment from cognitively normal individuals, with mean area under the curve values of 0.71 (0.67, 0.74) and 0.63 (0.60, 0.66), respectively, but it failed to discriminate dementia from mild cognitive impairment. The cut-off point of 3 showed the highest validity for the screening, with the diagnostic accuracy of 73.3% and 69.5%. CONCLUSION Reducing OTS is associated with cognitive impairment in T2DM patients and the community-dwelling elderly. Therefore, olfactory threshold test may be used as a readily accessible screening tool for cognitive impairment.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an independent risk factor of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and thus identifying who among the increasing T2DM populations may develop into AD is important for early intervention. By using TMT-labeling coupled high-throughput mass spectrometry, we conducted a comprehensive plasma proteomic analysis in none-T2DM people (Ctrl, n = 30), and the age-/sex-matched T2DM patients with mild cognitive impairment (T2DM-MCI, n = 30) or T2DM without MCI (T2DM-nMCI, n = 25). The candidate biomarkers identified by proteomics and bioinformatics analyses were verified by ELISA, and their diagnostic capabilities were evaluated with machine learning. A total of 53 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified in T2DM-MCI compared with T2DM-nMCI patients. These DEPs were significantly enriched in multiple biological processes, such as amyloid neuropathies, CNS disorders, and metabolic acidosis. Among the DEPs, alpha-1-antitrypsin (SERPINA1), major viral protein (PRNP), and valosin-containing protein (VCP) showed strong correlation with AD high-risk genes APP, MAPT, APOE, PSEN1, and PSEN2. Also, the levels of PP2A cancer inhibitor (CIP2A), PRNP, corticotropin-releasing factor-binding protein (CRHBP) were significantly increased, while the level of VCP was decreased in T2DM-MCI patients compared with that of the T2DM-nMCI, and these changes were correlated with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score. Further machine learning data showed that increases in PRNP, CRHBP, VCP, and rGSK-3β(T/S9) (ratio of total to serine-9-phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase-3β) had the greatest power to identify mild cognitive decline in T2DM patients.

Abstract
Plant leaf morphological and photosynthetic physiological characteristics are key functional traits in the adaptability of plants to heterogeneous environments. Analysis of the correlation between leaf morphological traits and photosynthetic physiological characteristics of salt marsh plants is helpful to deepen our understanding of how salt marsh plants adjust their leaf structure and function to adapt to their environment. However, there have been few studies on the relationship between leaf morphology and photosynthetic physiological characteristics of plants in inland salt marshes under a habitat gradient. A Phragmites australis community was divided into three plots based on differences in the wetland habitat conditions: a remote water area (plot I, 400-550 m from the water margin), a middle water area (plot II, 200-350 m from the water margin) and a near water area (plot III, 0-150 m from the water margin). The relationship between leaf morphological traits and photosynthetic physiological parameters of P. australis in heterogeneous habitats was studied. The results showed that as the habitat conditions changed from plot I to plot III, the soil characteristics, above-ground characteristics of the community and the photosynthetically active radiation changed significantly (P < 0.05). Besides, there was a highly significant positive correlation (P < 0.01) between leaf dry weight (LDW) and net photosynthetic rate (P n), the effective quantum yield of PSII photochemistry (Y(II), actual photochemical efficiency of PSII) and photochemical quenching (QP); and between leaf area and P n, Y(II) and QP in the three habitats. Moreover, in plot I, P. australis tended to have small and thick leaves with a low LDW and specific leaf area. In plot III, leaves were large and thin to adapt to the change in habitat conditions. This study provides a scientific theoretical basis for understanding the ecological adaptation strategies of plants in the harsh environment of an inland salt marsh and the conservation and management of wetland plants.

Abstract
Platelets may serve as a perfect peripheral source for exploring diagnostic biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, the molecular linkage between platelet and the brain is missing. To find the common altered and driving molecules in both brain and the platelet, we performed an integrated analysis of our platelet omics and brain omics reported in the literature, and analyzed their correlations with AD-specific pathology and cognitive impairment. By integrating the gene and protein expression profiles from 269 AD patients, we deduced 239 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) appeared in both brain and the platelet, and 70.3% of them had consistent changes. Further analysis demonstrated that the altered brain and peripheral regulations were pinpointed into 10 imbalanced pathways. We also found that 117 DEPs, including ADAM10, were closely associated to the AD-specific β-amyloid and tau pathologies; and the changes of IDH3B and RTN1 had a potential diagnostic value for cognitive impairment analyzed by machine learning. Finally, we identified that HMOX2 and SERPINA3 could serve as driving molecules in neurodegeneration, and they were increased and decreased in AD patients, respectively. Together, this integrated brain and platelet omics provides a valuable resource for establishing efficient peripheral diagnostic biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for AD.

Abstract
Abnormal posttranslational modifications of tau play important roles in mediating neurodegeneration in tauopathies including Alzheimer's disease. Both phosphorylation and truncation are implicated in the pathogenesis of tauopathies. However, whether phosphorylation aggravates truncated tau-induced pathology and neurodegeneration remains elusive. Here, we construct different tau fragments cleaved by delta secretase, with either phosphorylation or non-phosphorylation mimic mutations, and evaluate the contributions of phosphorylation to truncated tau-induced pathological and behavioral alterations in vitro and in vivo through biochemical methods including detergent insoluble tau extraction, western blot, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, and behavior tests. Our results show that the self-aggregation of phospho-truncated tau is significantly influenced by the domain it contains. N-terminal inhibits, proline-rich domain promotes, and C-terminus have no impact on phospho-truncated tau aggregation. Phosphorylation of truncated tau1-368, which contains the microtubule-binding repeat domain and the proline-rich domain, induces endogenous tau phosphorylation and aggregation. In vivo, phospho-tau1-368 but not non-phospho-tau1-368 leads to a decrease in body weight of C57BL/6 J mice. Intriguingly, although tau1-368-induced anxiety behavior in C57BL/6 J mice is phosphorylation-independent, the recognition memory of mice is impaired by phospho-tau1-368, but not by non-phospho-tau1-368. Immunofluorescence staining shows that overexpressing phospho-tau1-368 results in neuronal loss and gliosis in the hippocampus, while the transmission of tau1-368 is phosphorylation-independent as revealed by the flow cytometry results in vitro and immunofluorescence staining in vivo. Our findings indicate that phosphorylation of truncated tau significantly fosters endogenous tau pathology and neurodegeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human Tau (hTau) accumulation and synapse loss are two pathological hallmarks of tauopathies. However, whether and how hTau exerts toxic effects on synapses remain elusive. METHODS Mutated hTau (P301S) was overexpressed in the N2a cell line, primary hippocampal neurons and hippocampal CA3. Western blotting and quantitative polymerase chain reaction were applied to examine the protein and mRNA levels of synaptic proteins. The protein interaction was tested by co-immunoprecipitation and proximity ligation assays. Memory and emotion status were evaluated by a series of behavioural tests. The transcriptional activity of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) was detected by dual luciferase reporter assay. Electrophoresis mobility shift assay and chromosome immunoprecipitation were conducted to examine the combination of NRF2 to specific anti-oxidative response element (ARE) sequences. Neuronal morphology was analysed after Golgi staining. RESULTS Overexpressing P301S decreased the protein levels of post-synaptic density protein 93 (PSD93), PSD95 and synapsin 1 (SYN1). Simultaneously, NRF2 was decreased, whereas Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1) was elevated. Further, we found that NRF2 could bind to the specific AREs of DLG2, DLG4 and SYN1 genes, which encode PSD93, PSD95 and SYN1, respectively, to promote their expression. Overexpressing NRF2 ameliorated P301S-reduced synaptic proteins and synapse. By means of acetylation at K312, P301S increased the protein level of KEAP1 via inhibiting KEAP1 degradation from ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, thereby decreasing NRF2 and reducing synapse. Blocking the P301S-KEAP1 interaction at K312 rescued the P301S-suppressed expression of synaptic proteins and memory deficits with anxiety efficiently. CONCLUSIONS P301S-hTau could acetylate KEAP1 to trigger synaptic toxicity via inhibiting the NRF2/ARE pathway. These findings provide a novel and potential target for the therapeutic intervention of tauopathies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autophagy dysfunction plays a crucial role in tau accumulation and neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study aimed to investigate whether and how the accumulating tau may in turn affect autophagy. METHODS The primary hippocampal neurons, N2a and HEK293T cells with tau overexpression were respectively starved and treated with vinblastine to study the effects of tau on the initiating steps of autophagy, which was analysed by Student's two-tailed t-test. The rapamycin and concanamycin A were employed to inhibit the mammalian target of rapamycin kinase complex 1 (mTORC1) activity and the vacuolar H+-ATPase (v-ATPase) activity, respectively, which were analysed by One-way ANOVA with post hoc tests. The Western blotting, co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence staining were conducted to gain insight into the mechanisms underlying the tau effects of mTORC1 signaling alterations, as analysed by Student's two-tailed t-test or One-way ANOVA with post hoc tests. The autophagosome formation was detected by immunofluorescence staining and transmission electron microscopy. The amino acids (AA) levels were detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). RESULTS We observed that overexpressing human full-length wild-type tau to mimic AD-like tau accumulation induced autophagy deficits. Further studies revealed that the increased tau could bind to the prion-related domain of T cell intracellular antigen 1 (PRD-TIA1) and this association significantly increased the intercellular level of amino acids (Leucine, P = 0.0038; Glutamic acid, P = 0.0348; Alanine, P = 0.0037; Glycine, P = 0.0104), with concordant upregulation of mTORC1 activity [phosphorylated eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (p-4EBP1), P < 0.0001; phosphorylated 70 kDa ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (p-p70S6K1), P = 0.0001, phosphorylated unc-51-like autophagy-activating kinase 1 (p-ULK1), P = 0.0015] and inhibition of autophagosome formation [microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 II (LC3 II), P = 0.0073; LC3 puncta, P < 0.0001]. As expected, this tau-induced deficit of autophagosome formation in turn aggravated tau accumulation. Importantly, we also found that blocking TIA1 and tau interaction by overexpressing PRD-TIA1, downregulating the endogenous TIA1 expression by shRNA, or downregulating tau protein level by a small proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) could remarkably attenuate tau-induced autophagy impairment. CONCLUSIONS Our findings reveal that AD-like tau accumulation inhibits autophagosome formation and induces autophagy deficits by activating the TIA1/amino acid/mTORC1 pathway, and thus this work reveals new insight into tau-associated neurodegeneration and provides evidence supporting the use of new therapeutic targets for AD treatment and that of related tauopathies.

Abstract
Purpose To study the efficacy of Ba Zhen Tang in delaying skin photoaging and its potential mechanism based on network pharmacology and molecular docking. Methods First, we screened the active components and targets of Ba Zhen Tang by Traditional Chinese Medicine Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) and The Universal Protein Resource (UniProt). The target genes of skin photoaging were obtained from GeneCards and GeneMap database. Then, we analyzed the protein–protein interaction (PPI) by STRING database. The network map was constructed by Cytoscape. Finally, we performed Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis by Metascape database. The molecular docking via Autodock Vina and Pymol. Furthermore, skin photoaging cellular models were established, and the effects of Ba Zhen Tang on ameliorating skin photoaging were investigated. Results A total of 160 active ingredients in Ba Zhen Tang and 60 targets of Ba Zhen Tang for delaying skin photoaging were identified. By GO enrichment analysis, 1153 biological process entries, 45 cellular component entries and 89 molecular functional entries were obtained. A total of 155 signal pathways were obtained by KEGG analysis. Ba Zhen Tang is related to MAPK signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway and AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications, etc., which directly affect the key nodes of photoaging. The molecular docking results showed that there was a certain affinity between the main compounds (kaempferol, quercetin, β-sitosterol, naringenin) and core target genes (PTGS2, CASP3, MAPK1, MAPK3, TP53). Ba Zhen Tang-treated mouse serum inhibited the senescence and p16INK4a expression of human immortalized keratinocyte (HaCaT) cells irradiated by ultraviolet-B (UVB). Conclusion Our study elucidated the potential pharmacological mechanism of Ba Zhen Tang in the treatment of photoaging through multiple targets and pathways. The therapeutic effects of Ba Zhen Tang on skin photoaging were validated in cellular models.

Abstract
Abnormal tau accumulation and spatial memory loss constitute characteristic pathology and symptoms of Alzheimer disease (AD). Yet, the intrinsic connections and the mechanism between them are not fully understood. In the current study, we observed a prominent accumulation of the AD‐like hyperphosphorylated and truncated tau (hTau N368) proteins in hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) mossy cells of 3xTg‐AD mice. Further investigation demonstrated that the ventral DG (vDG) mossy cell‐specific overexpressing hTau for 3 months induced spatial cognitive deficits, while expressing hTau N368 for only 1 month caused remarkable spatial cognitive impairment with more prominent tau pathologies. By in vivo electrophysiological and optic fiber recording, we observed that the vDG mossy cell‐specific overexpression of hTau N368 disrupted theta oscillations with local neural network inactivation in the dorsal DG subset, suggesting impairment of the ventral to dorsal neural circuit. The mossy cell‐specific transcriptomic data revealed that multiple AD‐associated signaling pathways were disrupted by hTau N368, including reduction of synapse‐associated proteins, inhibition of AKT and activation of glycogen synthase kinase‐3β. Importantly, chemogenetic activating mossy cells efficiently attenuated the hTau N368‐induced spatial cognitive deficits. Together, our findings indicate that the mossy cell pathological tau accumulation could induce the AD‐like spatial memory deficit by inhibiting the local neural network activity, which not only reveals new pathogenesis underlying the mossy cell‐related spatial memory loss but also provides a mouse model of Mossy cell‐specific hTau accumulation for drug development in AD and the related tauopathies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) is one of the most effective kinases in promoting tau hyperphosphorylation and accumulation in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, it is not clear how GSK-3β activity is regulated during AD progression. METHODS We firstly used mass spectrometry to identify the acetylation site of GSK-3β, and then established the cell and animal models of GSK-3β acetylation. Next, we conducted molecular, cell biological and behavioral tests. Finally, we designed a peptide to test whether blocking tau-mediated GSK-3β acetylation could be beneficial to AD. FINDINGS We found that GSK-3β protein levels increased in the brains of AD patients and the transgenic mice. Overexpressing tau increased GSK-3β protein level with increased acetylation and decreased ubiquitination-related proteolysis. Tau could directly acetylate GSK-3β at K15 both in vitro and in vivo. K15-acetylation inhibited ubiquitination-associated proteolysis of GSK-3β and changed its activity-dependent phosphorylation, leading to over-activation of the kinase. GSK-3β activation by K15-acetylation in turn exacerbated the AD-like pathologies. Importantly, competitively inhibiting GSK-3β K15-acetylation by a novel-designed peptide remarkably improved cognitive impairment and the AD-like pathologies in 3xTg-AD mice. INTERPRETATION Tau can directly acetylate GSK-3β at K15 which reveals a vicious cycle between tau hyperphosphorylation and GSK-3β activation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to use network pharmacology to explore the potential targets and mechanisms of action of Qibao Meiran Dan in relation to delaying skin aging. METHODS The traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform, and the traditional Chinese medicine integrated database, were used to screen the active ingredients and targets of Qibao Meiran Dan. The human gene database GeneCards and the gene database of the National Center for Biotechnology Information were jointly adopted to obtain skin aging-related target genes. The search tool for the retrieval of interacting genes/proteins (STRING) database was used for core analysis of protein-protein interaction. RESULTS In total, 72 effective active ingredients, 273 action targets, 234 skin-aging target genes, and 64 intersecting core targets were identified. GO enrichment analysis provided 393 biological process entries, and the KEGG analysis was represented by the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathway, where the core targets of TNF-α and matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) were enriched. The experimental results showed that cell morphology was clearer and more refractive in the Qibao Meiran Dan group than in the model group. CONCLUSION Qibao Meiran Dan may regulate oxidative stress injury and collagen metabolism by down-regulating the expression of TNF-α and MMP-1, thus slowing skin aging.

Abstract
Soybean (Glycine max L.) is an important oil, food and economic crop in the world. High salinity severely affects the growth and yield of soybean. Overexpressing a specific anti-retroviral transcription factor by biotechnology is an effective way to cultivate new stress-tolerant varieties of soybean. TGA transcription factor is a subfamily of bZIP and plays an important role in abiotic stress responses. A TGA subfamily gene GmTGA13 was cloned and the gene expression, subcellular localization and transcriptional activity were measured. Through the Ag. tumefaciens mediated flower dip method and the Ag. rhizogenes mediated transformation of soybean hairy roots, the transgenic Arabidopsis and the 'combination' soybean plants of overexpressing GmTGA13 were obtained. The two types of transgenic plants were treated with salt stress respectively, and the related physiological indexes were determined. Furthermore, the expression levels of five abiotic stress responsive genes were analyzed in GmTGA13 overexpression hairy roots. GmTGA13 gene was highly expressed in roots and significantly induced by saline stress in soybean. GmTGA13 encoded a nuclear localization protein and had transcriptional activation activity. Overexpression of GmTGA13 enhanced the saline stress tolerance of transgenic Arabidopsis and the 'combination' soybean plants. Furthermore, overexpression of GmTGA13 enhanced the expression of the stress responsive genes in transgenic soybean hairy roots. In conclusion, overexpression of GmTGA13 is beneficial to the absorption of K+ and Ca2+ by the cell, thereby regulating the ion homeostasis in the cell balance. GmTGA13 enhanced salt resistance of plants by regulating the expression of many stress-responsive genes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Long-range connections are more severely damaged and relevant for cognition in long-standing MS. However, the evolution of such coordinated network damage in patients with MS is unclear. We investigated whether short- and long-range structural connections sustained equal damage in early-stage MS. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen patients with early-stage MS and 17 healthy controls were scanned by high-resolution, multishell diffusion imaging on 7T MR imaging and assessed cognitively. We investigated macrostructural properties in short- and long-range fibers and of microstructural metrics derived from 2 quantitative diffusion MR imaging models: DTI and neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging. RESULTS Patients had significant WM integrity damage-that is, higher radial diffusivity and a lower intracellular volume fraction in the focal WM lesions. Compared with the healthy controls, the patients had noticeable microstructure changes in both short- and long-range fibers, including increased radial diffusivity, mean diffusivity, and axial diffusivity. Z scores further indicated greater damage in the short-range fibers than in the long-range fibers. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrate that more severe demyelination preceding axonal degeneration occurs in short-range connections but not in long-range connections in early-stage MS, suggesting the possibility that there are cortical lesions that are undetectable by current MR imaging.

Abstract
Background Oral immunotherapy (OIT) is an emerging treatment for cow's milk protein (CMP) allergy in children. The mechanisms driving tolerance following OIT are not well understood. Regulatory T cells (TREG) cells are key inhibitors of allergic responses and promoters of allergen-specific tolerance. In an exploratory study, we sought to detect induction of allergen-specific TREG in a cohort of subjects undergoing OIT. Methods Pediatric patients with a history of allergic reaction to cow's milk and a positive Skin Pick Test (SPT) and/or CMP-specific IgE >0.35 kU, as well as a positive oral challenge to CMP underwent OIT with escalating doses of milk and were followed for up to 6 months. At specific milestones during the dose escalation and maintenance phases, casein-specific CD4+ T cells were expanded from patient blood by culturing unfractionated PBMCs with casein in vitro. The CD4+ T cell phenotypes were quantified by flow cytometry. Results Our culture system induced activated casein-specific FOXP3+Helios+ TREG cells and FOXP3- TEFF cells, discriminated by expression of CD137 (4-1BB) and CD154 (CD40L) respectively. The frequency of casein-specific TREG cells increased significantly with escalating doses of milk during OIT while casein-specific TEFF cell frequencies remained constant. Moreover, expanded casein-specific TREG cells expressed higher levels of FOXP3 compared to polyclonal TREG cells, suggesting a more robust TREG phenotype. The induction of casein-specific TREG cells increased with successful CMP desensitization and correlated with increased frequencies of casein-specific Th1 cells among OIT subjects. The level of casein-specific TREG cells negatively correlated with the time required to reach the maintenance phase of desensitization. Conclusions Overall, effective CMP-OIT successfully promoted the expansion of casein-specific, functionally-stable FOXP3+ TREG cells while mitigating Th2 responses in children receiving OIT. Our exploratory study proposes that an in vitro TREG response to casein may correlate with the time to reach maintenance in CMP-OIT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Artesunate, a semi-synthetic derivative of artemisinin, exerts various pharmacological activities. Nevertheless, the effects of Art on skin photoaging remain unclear. Herein, we investigated whether Art ameliorated ultraviolet-irradiated skin photoaging in HaCaT cells and mice. METHODS To construct skin photoaging cellular models, HaCaT cells were irradiated by UV (UVB, 20mJ/cm2) for 5 days. HaCaT cells were pretreated with three concentrations of Art (1, 5 and 20 μg/ml) for 2 h each day. After 5 days, cell senescence, ROS production, SOD levels, p16INK4a and β-catenin expression, proliferation and apoptosis were detected in HaCaT cells. Effects of Art on normal cells were investigated. After sh-β-catenin transfection or XAV-939 treatment, HaCaT cells were pretreated with 20 μg/ml Art and irradiated by UVB. After 5 days, skin photoaging was then observed. Furthermore, skin photoaging mouse models were established and the effects of Art and β-catenin silencing on skin photoaging were investigated. RESULTS Art treatment suppressed cell senescence, intracellular ROS production, p16INK4a expression and apoptosis and promoted proliferation and SOD and β-catenin expression in UVB irradiated HaCaT cells. But Art had no toxic effects on normal cells. Silencing β-catenin by sh-β-catenin or XAV-939 exacerbated UVB irradiation-mediated cell senescence, apoptosis, and ROS production in HaCaT cells, which was ameliorated by Art treatment. The therapeutic effects of Art on skin photoaging were also confirmed in mouse models. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggested that Art treatment alleviated UVB irradiation-driven skin photoaging through enhancing β-catenin expression, which offered novel clues for pharmacological activity of Art.

Abstract
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an independent risk factor of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and populations with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have high incidence to suffer from AD. Therefore, discerning who may be more vulnerable to MCI, among the increasing T2DM populations, is important for early intervention and eventually decreasing the prevalence rate of AD. This study was to explore whether the change of plasma β-amyloid (Aβ) could be a biomarker to distinguish MCI (T2DM-MCI) from non-MCI (T2DM-nMCI) in T2DM patients. Methods: Eight hundred fifty-two T2DM patients collected from five medical centers were assigned randomly to training and validation cohorts. Plasma Aβ, platelet glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotypes, and olfactory and cognitive functions were measured by ELISA, dot blot, RT-PCR, Connecticut Chemosensory Clinical Research Center (CCCRC) olfactory test based on the diluted butanol, and Minimum Mental State Examination (MMSE) test, respectively, and multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied. Results: Elevation of plasma Aβ1-42/Aβ1-40 is an independent risk factor of MCI in T2DM patients. Although using Aβ1-42/Aβ1-40 alone only reached an AUC of 0.631 for MCI diagnosis, addition of the elevated Aβ1-42/Aβ1-40 to our previous model (i.e., activated platelet GSK-3β, ApoE ε4 genotype, olfactory decline, and aging) significantly increased the discriminating efficiency of T2DM-MCI from T2DM-nMCI, with an AUC of 0.846 (95% CI: 0.794–0.897) to 0.869 (95% CI: 0.822–0.916) in the training cohort and an AUC of 0.848 (95% CI: 0.815–0.882) to 0.867 (95% CI: 0.835–0.899) in the validation cohort, respectively. Conclusion: A combination of the elevated plasma Aβ1-42/Aβ1-40 with activated platelet GSK-3β, ApoE ε4 genotype, olfactory decline, and aging could efficiently diagnose MCI in T2DM patients. Further longitudinal studies may consummate the model for early prediction of AD.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an independent risk factor of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Therefore, identifying periphery biomarkers correlated with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is of importance for early diagnosis of AD. Here, we performed platelet proteomics in T2DM patients with MCI (T2DM‐MCI) and without MCI (T2DM‐nMCI). Pearson analysis of the omics data with MMSE (mini‐mental state examination), Aβ1‐42/Aβ1‐40 (β‐amyloid), and rGSK‐3β(T/S9) (total to Serine‐9‐phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase‐3β) revealed that mitophagy/autophagy‐, insulin signaling‐, and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathways‐related proteins were most significantly involved. Among them, only the increase of optineurin, an autophagy‐related protein, was simultaneously correlated with the reduced MMSE score, and the increased Aβ1‐42/Aβ1‐40 and rGSK‐3β(T/S9), and the optineurin alone could discriminate T2DM‐MCI from T2DM‐nMCI. Combination of the elevated platelet optineurin and rGSK‐3β(T/S9) enhanced the MCI‐discriminating efficiency with AUC of 0.927, specificity of 86.7%, sensitivity of 85.3%, and accuracy of 0.859, which is promising for predicting cognitive decline in T2DM patients.

Abstract
Tapered coronary artery lesions (TCALs) are often seen clinically, optimal stenting of TCALs remains challengeable. This study sought to compare clinical outcomes between the modified single stenting (MSS) and conventional overlapped stenting (COS) in treatment of TCALs. 150 patients were treated with MSS (MSS group), another 150 patients were matched with propensity score matching from 5055 patients treated with COS (COS group). Quantitative coronary angiography was performed to measure minimal lumen diameter (MLD), late lumen loss (LLL). The primary endpoint was immediate angiographic success, one-year cumulative major cardiac adverse events (MACEs) composing cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction (TVMI), target lesion/vessel revascularization (TLR/TVR) or stent thrombosis (ST). Post-procedural in-stent MLD (2.96 ± 0.34 versus 3.08 ± 0.33, P = 0.004) was smaller and diameter stenosis (11.7 ± 4.0% versus 9.0 ± 4.8%, P = 0.003) was higher in MSS group than COS group. At 1-year follow-up, in-stent MLD (2.76 ± 0.38 mm versus 2.65 ± 0.60 mm, P = 0.003) was reduced, LLL (0.20 ± 0.26 mm versus 0.42 ± 0.48 mm, P = 0.001), diameter stenosis (24.02 ± 20.94% versus 19.68 ± 11.75%, P = 0.028) and binary restenosis (18.7% versus 10.0%, P = 0.047) were increased in COS group. Angiographic success (96.7% versus 98.0%, P = 0.723) was similar between MSS group and COS group. At 1-year, the cumulative MACEs (12.0% versus 22.7%, P = 0.022) and TLR/TVR (10.0% versus 18.7%, P = 0.047) were reduced in MSS group as compared to COS group, there was no difference in cardiac death, TVMI and ST between the groups. Compared to conventional overlapped stenting, modified single stenting for TCALs is associated with similar angiographic success, fewer one-year cumulative MACEs and less treatment cost.

Abstract
Intracellular accumulation of tau is a hallmark pathology in Alzheimer disease (AD) and the related tauopathies, thus targeting tau could be promising for drug development. Proteolysis Targeting Chimera (PROTAC) is a novel drug discovery strategy for selective protein degradation from within cells. Methods: A novel small-molecule PROTAC, named as C004019 with a molecular mass of 1,035.29 dalton, was designed to simultaneously recruite tau and E3-ligase (Vhl) and thus to selectively enhance ubiquitination and proteolysis of tau proteins. Western blotting, immunofluoresence and immunohistochemical staining were employed to verify the effects of C004019 in cell models (HEK293 and SH-SY5Y) and mouse models (hTau-transgenic and 3xTg-AD), respectively. The cognitive capacity of the mice was assessed by a suite of behavior experiments. Electrophysiology and Golgi staining were used to evaluate the synaptic plasticity. Results: C004019 induced a robust tau clearance via promoting its ubiquitination-proteasome-dependent proteolysis in HEK293 cells with stable or transient overexpression of human tau (hTau), and in SH-SY5Y that constitutively overexpress hTau. Furthermore, intracerebral ventricular infusion of C004019 induced a robust tau clearance in vivo. Most importantly, both single-dose and multiple-doses (once per 6 days for a total 5 times) subcutaneous administration of C004019 remarkably decreased tau levels in the brains of wild-type, hTau-transgenic and 3xTg-AD mice with improvement of synaptic and cognitive functions. Conclusions: The PROTAC (C004019) created in the current study can selectively and efficiently promote tau clearance both in vitro and in vivo, which provides a promising drug candidate for AD and the related tauopathies.

Abstract
Objective To study the relationship between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the human β-defensin 1-gene (DEFB1) and the genetic susceptibility of acne vulgaris in the Han Chinese ethnic group. Methods A total of 104 patients with acne vulgaris and 126 healthy participants were included in our study. We analyzed the association between acne vulgaris and the polymorphisms in the DEFB1 G-52A, C-44G, and G-20A gene. We then analyzed the relationship between the different genotypes and the susceptibility to acne vulgaris. Results The frequency of DEFB1 C-44G genetic polymorphisms between the acne vulgaris group and the control group was significantly different (P < 0.05). The frequency of DEFB1 G-20A genetic polymorphisms between the acne vulgaris group and the control group was also significantly different (P < 0.05). Conclusion The −44G or −20A allele showed a low expression in acne vulgaris, which has already been shown to correlate with the low risk of acne vulgaris among Chinese Han patients. This further supports the contribution of the DEFB1 gene to the pathogenesis of acne.

Abstract
Although numerous studies have indicated that chronic stress causes cognitive dysfunction with the impairment of synaptic structures and functions, the relationship between cognitive deficits induced by repeated restraint stress and the level of NMDA receptors in the subregion of the hippocampus has been relatively unknown until now. In this study, 3-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to repeated restraint stress for seven consecutive days, their cognitive functions were evaluated through behavioral tests, and then they were sacrificed for electrophysiological, morphological, and biochemical assays. Chronic repeated restraint stress led to cognitive and electrophysiological impairments, with a reduced density of dendritic spines. We also found that the protein level of NMDA receptors only increased in the hippocampal CA3 region. Nevertheless, repeated restraint stress-induced cognitive and synaptic dysfunction were effectively reversed by Ro25-6981, an inhibitor of the GluN2B receptor. These findings suggest that repeated restraint stress-induced synaptic and cognitive deficits are probably mediated through NMDA receptors.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is regarded as a high-risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Asparaginyl endopeptidase (AEP), a lysosomal cysteine protease involved in AD pathogenesis, is normally activated under acidic conditions and also in TBI. However, both the molecular mechanism underlying AEP activation-mediated TBI-related AD pathologies, and the role of AEP as an AD therapeutic target, still remain unclear. Here, we report that TBI induces hippocampus dependent cognitive deficit and synaptic dysfunction, accompanied with AEP activation, I2PP2A (inhibitor 2 of PP2A, also called SET) mis-translocation from neuronal nucleus to cytoplasm, an obvious increase in AEP interaction with SET, and tau hyperphosphorylation in hippocampus of rats. Oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD), mimicking an acidic condition, also leads to AEP activation, SET mis-translocation, PP2A inhibition, tau hyperphosphorylation, and a decrease in synaptic proteins, all of which are abrogated by AEP inhibitor AENK in primary neurons. Interestingly, AENK restores SET back to the nucleus, mitigates tau pathologies, rescuing TBI-induced cognitive deficit in rats. These findings highlight a novel etiopathogenic mechanism of TBI-related AD, which is initiated by AEP activation, accumulating SET in cytoplasm, and favoring tau pathology and cognitive impairments. Lowering AEP activity by AEP inhibitor would be beneficial to AD patients with TBI.

Abstract
Intracellular accumulating of the hyperphosphorylated tau plays a pivotal role in neurodegeneration of Alzheimer disease (AD), but the mechanisms underlying the gradually aggravated tau hyperphosphorylation remain elusive. Here, we show that increasing intracellular tau could upregulate mRNA and protein levels of TRPC1 (transient receptor potential channel 1) with an activated store‐operated calcium entry (SOCE), an increased intraneuronal steady‐state [Ca2+]i, an enhanced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, an imbalanced protein kinases and phosphatase, and an aggravated tauopathy. Furthermore, overexpressing TRPC1 induced ER stress, kinases‐phosphatase imbalance, tau hyperphosphorylation and cognitive deficits in cultured neurons and mice, while pharmacological inhibiting or knockout TRPC1 attenuated the hTau‐induced deregulations in SOCE, ER homeostasis, kinases‐phosphatase balance, and tau phosphorylation level with improved synaptic and cognitive functions. Finally, an increased CCAAT‐enhancer‐binding protein (C/EBPβ) activity was observed in hTau‐overexpressing cells and the hippocampus of the AD patients, while downregulating C/EBPβ by siRNA abolished the hTau‐induced TRPC1 upregulation. These data reveal that increasing intracellular tau can upregulate C/EBPβ‐TRPC1‐SOCE signaling and thus disrupt phosphorylating system, which together aggravates tau pathologies leading to a chronic neurodegeneration.

Abstract
This aim of this study was to observe the effect of Yang Yan Qing E Wan (YYQEW) on senescent phenotypes and the expression of β-catenin and p16INK4a in the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced premature senescence of normal human skin fibroblasts (NHSFs). Primary normal human skin fibroblasts were randomly divided into a normal group, a blank group, a model group, and a YYQEW group. The cells of the model group and the YYQEW group were exposed to 150 μmol/L H2O2 for 2 h. The morphological changes of the cells were analyzed by microscopy and by kits used to estimate the activities of the senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and superoxide dismutase (SOD). The outcomes revealed that dyeing rate proportion of SA-β-gal was 2.78% ± 0.22% in the normal group, 2.83% ± 0.29% in the blank group, 37.58% ± 2.56% in the model group, and 28.39% ± 0.93% in the YYQEW group. The number of SA-β-gal positive cells was thus significantly higher in the model group than in the normal or blank group. There were also fewer SA-β-gal positive cells in the YYQEW group compared with the model group. The expression of ROS and p16INK4a in the model group increased significantly compared with that in the normal or blank groups, while the expression of ROS and p16INK4a in the YYQEW group decreased significantly compared with that in the model group. The expression of SOD and β-catenin in the model group decreased significantly compared with that in the normal or blank group, and the expression of SOD and β-catenin in the YYQEW group increased significantly compared with that in the model group. Overall, it was found that YYQEW was able to delay the senescence of NHSFs induced by H2O2 treatment by alleviating oxidative stress and regulating a number of senescence-related molecules, such as β-catenin and p16INK4a.

Abstract
The occurrence of major depressive disorders has been closely related to the vulnerability of stress. The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is involved in regulating pathological reactivity to stress, changes in affective behaviour and cognitive functions by distress. Increasing evidence indicates that neuregulin 1 (NRG1) plays an important role in psychiatric illnesses, including depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. However, whether NRG1 in the mPFC is related to stress vulnerability remains unclear. We here assessed the regulation of NRG1 by the E3 ubiquitin ligase Nedd4l (neural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated 4-like) and investigated whether NRG1 changes in the mPFC might lead to vulnerability to depression-like behaviours. We've identified a deficiency of NRG1 in the mPFC as a key factor that contributes to the regulation of stress susceptibility in mice, as further suggested by the finding that overexpression of NRG1 attenuated depression-like behaviours in the animal model of chronic social defeat stress (CSDS). Interestingly, RNA sequencing in the mPFC brain region showed no differences in NRG1 mRNA levels between control animals and stress-susceptible (SS) or resilient mice (RES) following CSDS. However, mRNA and protein levels of Nedd4l were markedly increased in SS mice, but not in RES mice compared to controls. Furthermore, ubiquitination of NRG1 was increased in SS mice. Remarkably, overexpression of Nedd4l in mouse mPFC induced a decrease in NRG1 level and caused vulnerability to stress by subthreshold social defeat stress (SSDS), while downregulation of Nedd4l expression in the mPFC rescued the vulnerability to stress-induced social avoidance and anhedonia. Our data strongly indicate that the Nedd4l-mediated downregulation of NRG1 acts as a critical role in depression-like phenotypes of mice in CSDS.

Abstract
Schizophrenia (SZ) is a serious mental condition and is associated with cognitive impairments. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is one of the learning- and memory-related molecules found in the CNS and its level was reported to be reduced in SZ brain, while ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3PUFAs) could improve SZ symptoms, but its mechanism of action remains unknown. Using MK801 injection-induced SZ rat model, we here found that supplementation with ω-3PUFAs improved the levels of p-CREB, BDNF, and p-TrkB in the brain of SZ rats, and restore hippocampal neuronal damage, thereby reducing cognitive impairments in SZ rats. However, overexpression of AAV9/CREB S133A (CREB inactivated mutation) downregulated BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway and remarkably abolished the preventive effect of ω-3PUFAs in MK801-induced schizophrenia. Interestingly, AAV9/CREB S133D (CREB activated mutation) improved synaptic dysfunctions and cognitive defects in MK801 rats. In conclusion, these findings indicate that MK801-induced SZ lesions dephosphorylate CREB at Ser133 site, leading to neuron damage, and ω-3PUFAs improve SZ cognitive impairments by upregulating the CREB/BDNF/TrkB pathway, which provides new clues for the mechanism of SZ cognitive impairments, and a basis for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preclinical and clinical evidence suggests that elderly individuals are at increased risk of cognitive decline after general anesthesia. General anesthesia is also believed to be a risk factor for Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction (POCD) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Intranasal administration of insulin, which delivers the drug directly into the brain, improves memory and cognition in both animal studies and small clinical trials. However, how insulin treatment improves cognitive function is poorly understood. METHODS Aged mice were pretreated with intranasal insulin or saline before anesthesia. Propofol was added intraperitoneally to the mice from 7th day of insulin/saline treatment, and general anesthesia was induced and maintained for 2 hours/day for 5 consecutive days. Mice were evaluated at 26th day when the mice were continued on insulin or saline administration for another 15 days. RESULTS We found that intranasal insulin treatment prevented anesthesia-induced cognitive impairments, as measured by novel object recognition test and contextual-dependent fear conditioning test. Insulin treatment also increased the expression level of Post-synaptic Density Protein 95 (PSD95), as well as upregulated Microtubule-associated Protein-2 (MAP-2) in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. Furthermore, we found that insulin treatment restored insulin signaling disturbed by anesthesia via activating PI3K/PDK1/AKT pathway, and attenuated anesthesia-induced hyperphosphorylation of tau at multiple AD-associated sites. We found the attenuation of tau hyperphosphorylation occurred by increasing the level of GSK3β phosphorylated at Ser9, which leads to inactivation of GSK-3β. CONCLUSION Intranasal insulin administration might be a promising therapy to prevent anesthesiainduced cognitive deficit in elderly individuals.

Abstract
Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a major serine/threonine phosphatase which participates in the regulation of multiple cellular processes. As a confirmed tumor suppressor, PP2A activity is downregulated in tumors and its re-activation can induce apoptosis of cancer cells. In the brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, decreased PP2A activity also plays a key role in promoting tau hyperphosphorylation and Aβ generation. In this review, we discussed compounds aiming at modulating PP2A activity in the treatment of cancer or AD. The upstream factors that inactivate PP2A in diseases have not been fully elucidated and further studies are needed. It will help for the refinement and development of novel and clinically tractable PP2A-targeted compounds or therapies for the treatment of tumor and AD.

Abstract
Overexpressing Tau counteracts apoptosis and increases dephosphorylated β-catenin levels, but the underlying mechanisms are elusive. Here, we show that Tau can directly and robustly acetylate β-catenin at K49 in a concentration-, time-, and pH-dependent manner. β-catenin K49 acetylation inhibits its phosphorylation and its ubiquitination-associated proteolysis, thus increasing β-catenin protein levels. K49 acetylation further promotes nuclear translocation and the transcriptional activity of β-catenin, and increases the expression of survival-promoting genes (bcl2 and survivin), counteracting apoptosis. Mutation of Tau's acetyltransferase domain or co-expressing non-acetylatable β-catenin-K49R prevents increased β-catenin signaling and abolishes the anti-apoptotic function of Tau. Our data reveal that Tau preserves β-catenin by acetylating K49, and upregulated β-catenin/survival signaling in turn mediates the anti-apoptotic effect of Tau.

Abstract
The basolateral amygdala (BLA) and ventral hippocampal CA1 (vCA1) are cellularly and functionally diverse along their anterior-posterior and superficial-deep axes. Here, we find that anterior BLA (aBLA) and posterior BLA (pBLA) innervate deep-layer calbindin1-negative (Calb1-) and superficial-layer calbindin1-positive neurons (Calb1+) in vCA1, respectively. Photostimulation of pBLA-vCA1 inputs has an anxiolytic effect in mice, promoting approach behaviours during conflict exploratory tasks. By contrast, stimulating aBLA-vCA1 inputs induces anxiety-like behaviour resulting in fewer approaches. During conflict stages of the elevated plus maze task vCA1Calb1+ neurons are preferentially activated at the open-to-closed arm transition, and photostimulation of vCA1Calb1+ neurons at decision-making zones promotes approach with fewer retreats. In the APP/PS1 mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, which shows anxiety-like behaviour, photostimulating the pBLA-vCA1Calb1+ circuit ameliorates the anxiety in a Calb1-dependent manner. These findings suggest the pBLA-vCA1Calb1+ circuit from heterogeneous BLA-vCA1 connections drives approach behaviour to reduce anxiety-like behaviour.

Abstract
Intraneuronal accumulation of wild-type tau plays a key role in Alzheimer's disease, while the mechanisms underlying tauopathy and memory impairment remain unclear. Here, we report that overexpressing full-length wild-type human tau (hTau) in mouse hippocampus induces learning and memory deficits with remarkably reduced levels of multiple synapse- and memory-associated proteins. Overexpressing hTau inhibits the activity of protein kinase A (PKA) and decreases the phosphorylation level of cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB), GluA1, and TrkB with reduced BDNF mRNA and protein levels both in vitro and in vivo. Simultaneously, overexpressing hTau increased PKAR2α (an inhibitory subunit of PKA) in nuclear fraction and inactivated proteasome activity. With an increased association of PKAR2α with PA28γ (a nuclear proteasome activator), the formation of PA28γ-20S proteasome complex remarkably decreased in the nuclear fraction, followed by a reduced interaction of PKAR2α with 20S proteasome. Both downregulating PKAR2α by shRNA and upregulating proteasome by expressing PA28γ rescued hTau-induced PKA inhibition and CREB dephosphorylation, and upregulating PKA improved hTau-induced cognitive deficits in mice. Together, these data reveal that intracellular tau accumulation induces synapse and memory impairments by inhibiting PKA/CREB/BDNF/TrkB and PKA/GluA1 signaling, and deficit of PA28γ-20S proteasome complex formation contributes to PKAR2α elevation and PKA inhibition.

Abstract
Although few drugs are available today for the management of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and many plants and their extracts are extensively employed in animals’ studies and AD patients, yet no drug or plant extract is able to reverse AD symptoms adequately. In the present study, Tamarix gallica (TG), a naturally occurring plant known for its strong antioxidative, anti-inflammatory and anti-amyloidogenic properties, was evaluated on homocysteine (Hcy) induced AD-like pathology and cognitive impairments in rats. We found that TG attenuated Hcy-induced oxidative stress and memory deficits. TG also improved neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation by upregulating synaptic proteins such as PSD95 and synapsin 1 and downregulating inflammatory markers including CD68 and GFAP with concomitant decrease in proinflammatory mediators interlukin-1β (IL1β) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα). TG attenuated tau hyperphosphorylation at multiple AD-related sites through decreasing some kinases and increasing phosphatase activities. Moreover, TG rescued amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology through downregulating BACE1. Our data for the first time provide evidence that TG attenuates Hcy-induced AD-like pathological changes and cognitive impairments, making TG a promising candidate for the treatment of AD-associated pathological changes.

Abstract
Diets high in sugar are recognized as a serious health problem, and there is a drive to reduce their consumption. Steviol glycosides are natural zero-calorie sweeteners, but the most desirable ones are biosynthesized with low yields. UGT76G1 catalyzes the β (1-3) addition of glucose to steviol glycosides, which gives them the preferred taste. UGT76G1 is able to transfer glucose to multiple steviol substrates yet remains highly specific in the glycosidic linkage it creates. Here, we report multiple complex structures of the enzyme combined with biochemical data, which reveal that the enzyme utilizes hydrophobic interactions for substrate recognition. The lack of a strict three-dimensional recognition arrangement, typical of hydrogen bonds, permits two different orientations for β (1-3) sugar addition. The use of hydrophobic recognition is unusual in a regio- and stereo-specific catalysis. Harnessing such non-specific hydrophobic interactions could have wide applications in the synthesis of complex glycoconjugates.

Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is multifactorial with unclear etiopathology. Due to the complexity of AD, many attempted single therapy treatments, like Aβ immunization, have generally failed. Therefore, there is a need for drugs with multiple benefits. Naturally occurring phytochemicals with neuroprotective, anti-amyloidogenic, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory properties could be a possible way out. In this study, the effect of Moringa oleifera (MO), a naturally occurring plant with high antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects, was evaluated on hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) induced AD-like pathology in rats. Homocysteine (Hcy) injection for 14 days was used to induce AD-like pathology. Simultaneous MO extract gavage followed the injection as a preventive treatment or, after injection completion, MO gavage was performed for another 14 days as a curative treatment. MO was found to not only prevent but also rescue the oxidative stress and cognitive impairments induced by Hcy treatment. Moreover, MO recovered the decreased synaptic proteins PSD93, PSD95, Synapsin 1 and Synaptophysin, and improved neurodegeneration. Interestingly, MO decreased the Hyc-induced tau hyperphosphorylation at different sites including S-199, T-231, S-396, and S-404, and at the same time decreased Aβ production through downregulation of BACE1. These effects in HHcy rats were accompanied by a decrease in calpain activity under MO treatment, supporting that calpain activation might be involved in AD pathogenesis in HHcy rats. Taken together, our data, for the first time, provided evidence that MO alleviates tau hyperphosphorylation and Aβ pathology in a HHcy AD rat model. This and previous other studies support MO as a good candidate for, and could provide new insights into, the treatment of AD and other tauopathies.

Abstract
Intracellular tau accumulation forming neurofibrillary tangles is hallmark pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but how tau accumulation induces synapse impairment is elusive. By overexpressing human full-length wild-type tau (termed hTau) to mimic tau abnormality as seen in the brain of sporadic AD patients, we find that hTau accumulation activates JAK2 to phosphorylate STAT1 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 1) at Tyr701 leading to STAT1 dimerization, nuclear translocation, and its activation. STAT1 activation suppresses expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) through direct binding to the specific GAS element of GluN1, GluN2A, and GluN2B promoters, while knockdown of STAT1 by AAV-Cre in STAT1flox/flox mice or expressing dominant negative Y701F-STAT1 efficiently rescues hTau-induced suppression of NMDAR expression with amelioration of synaptic functions and memory performance. These findings indicate that hTau accumulation impairs synaptic plasticity through JAK2/STAT1-induced suppression of NMDAR expression, revealing a novel mechanism for hTau-associated synapse and memory deficits.

Abstract
AIM The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on physical function and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in China. METHOD A cross-section survey was conducted in 21 general hospitals in China. Eight hundred and seven patients were recruited. Data on demographics, clinical data, physical function (Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index, HAQ-DI) and HRQoL (Study Short Form 36 Health Survey, SF-36) were collected on site. RESULTS In our cohort, physical function was impaired in 77.6% of patients (HAQ-DI >0). The median (interquartile range, IQR) of HAQ-DI was 0.750 (0.125, 1.500). Rated by HAQ-DI 0-1, >1-2, and >2-3, percentage of patients with mild, moderate and severe disability was 61.0%, 25.4%, and 13.6%, respectively. Older age, long disease duration, presence of extra-articular manifestations, tender joint count (TJC), overall status (assessed by patient Global Visual Analogue Scale [G-VAS] and physician G-VAS) and lacking disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs were identified as predictive factors for worse physical function (P < .05). The composite scores of SF-36 in the observed patients were: physical component summary 40.4 (IQR 27.4, 60.3), and mental component summary 49.0 (IQR 33.6, 70.9). Impaired physical health may be predicted by low income, presence of extra-articular manifestations, TJC, patient G-VAS and high HAQ-DI. Predictors for suboptimal mental health were low income, physical labor, married status, increased swollen joint count (SJC), physician G-VAS and high HAQ-DI. CONCLUSION Rheumatoid arthritis has profound effects on physical function and HRQoL in Chinese patients. Patients with identified predictive factors for poor outcome should be closely monitored.

Abstract
Background Building brain reserves before dementia onset could represent a promising strategy to prevent Alzheimer's disease (AD), while how to initiate early cognitive stimulation is unclear. Given that the immature brain is more sensitive to environmental stimuli and that brain dynamics decrease with ageing, we reasoned that it would be effective to initiate cognitive stimulation against AD as early as the fetal period. Methods After conception, maternal AD transgenic mice (3 × Tg AD) were exposed to gestational environment enrichment (GEE) until the day of delivery. The cognitive capacity of the offspring was assessed by the Morris water maze and contextual fear-conditioning tests when the offspring were raised in a standard environment to 7 months of age. Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, real-time PCR, immunoprecipitation, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay, electrophysiology, Golgi staining, activity assays and sandwich ELISA were employed to gain insight into the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of GEE on embryos and 7-10-month-old adult offspring. Results We found that GEE markedly preserved synaptic plasticity and memory capacity with amelioration of hallmark pathologies in 7-10-m-old AD offspring. The beneficial effects of GEE were accompanied by global histone hyperacetylation, including those at bdnf promoter-binding regions, with robust BDNF mRNA and protein expression in both embryo and progeny hippocampus. GEE increased insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and activated its receptor (IGF1R), which phosphorylates Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase IV (CaMKIV) at tyrosine sites and triggers its nuclear translocation, subsequently upregulating histone acetyltransferase (HAT) and BDNF transcription. The upregulation of IGF1 mimicked the effects of GEE, while IGF1R or HAT inhibition during pregnancy abolished the GEE-induced CaMKIV-dependent histone hyperacetylation and BDNF upregulation. Conclusions These findings suggest that activation of IGF1R/CaMKIV/HAT/BDNF signaling by gestational environment enrichment may serve as a promising strategy to delay AD progression.
