- Benjakul (BJK) remedy, traditionally used to balance the four elements, has demonstrated clinical efficacy in relieving inflammation and allergic rhinitis (AR) symptoms. This study investigated differential serum peptide expression in AR patients treated with BJK remedy compared to loratadine using MALDI-TOF MS and LC-MS/MS. MALDI-TOF MS revealed four shared mass peptide patterns that were significantly upregulated ( < 0.05) after 3 and 6 weeks of both treatments. Identifying the peptides, 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17β-HSD) and microtubule-actin cross-linking factor 1 (MACF1) were linked to inflammatory suppression and hormonal balance, while zinc finger CCCH-type containing 4 (ZC3H4) and transducin beta-like protein 3 (TBL3) were associated with the relief of pulmonary fibrosis. Conversely, zinc finger homeobox 3 (ZFHX3) and transformation/transcription domain-associated protein (TRRAP) remained elevated after treatment, potentially promoting persistent inflammation via E2F transcription factor 1- (E2F1-) and E2F transcription factor 4- (E2F4-) mediated transcription. Among 1113 peptides identified by LC-MS/MS (selected using a significance threshold of < 0.05, without a fixed fold-change cutoff), 6-week treatment with BJK remedy significantly downregulated UBQLN1 (4.562-fold; = 0.016), suppressing toll-like receptor (TLR) activation and B-cell proliferation. It also upregulated Prostaglandin E synthase 2 (PTGES2) and PDZ and LIM domain protein 2 (PDLIM2) (7.841-fold and 8.697-fold, respectively; = 0.004 and 0.002), while enhancing antioxidant and immunoregulatory responses via ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 8 (ABCB8) and ADP-ribosylation factor GTPase-activating protein 3 (ARFGAP3). By comparison, 3 weeks loratadine treatment significantly downregulated E2F transcription factor 3 (E2F3) and general transcription factor IIIC subunit 6 (GTF3C6) ( = 0.034 and 0.017) and upregulated CTD small phosphatase like 2 (CTDSPL2), suggesting a distinct but complementary anti-inflammatory mechanism. Together, these findings enhance the understanding of AR pathophysiology and may help to elucidate the mechanisms of BJK remedy and loratadine in treatment, supporting the further development of targeted therapies and biomarkers. - Source: PubMed

In this study, we investigated the miRNA response of Macrobrachium rosenbergii to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a conserved bacterial pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP). High-throughput small RNA sequencing identified 155 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) in the hepatopancreas following LPS injection. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that target genes of these DEMs were significantly associated with immune pathways, including the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP) and endocytosis. Network analysis highlighted mro-miR-365-1-5p as a central regulator targeting key genes such as Rpn10, Rab11, Vps2, and ArfGAP3. Temporal expression profiling revealed rapid downregulation of mro-miR-365-1-5p after LPS exposure. The regulatory role of mro-miR-365-1-5p was validated by dual-luciferase reporter assays and an in vivo challenge experiment. In vivo overexpression of mro-miR-365-1-5p significantly increased mortality in prawns challenged with Vibrio harveyi, indicating impaired immune defense. These findings provide novel insights into the regulatory roles of LPS-responsive miRNAs in crustaceans and suggest that modulation of specific miRNAs may be crucial for effective immune activation during bacterial infection. - Source: PubMed

Pangeson TanapatThammason RattikonOngvarrasopone ChalermpornWiengnak NalinnipaPhetrungnapha Amnat - Few researches have investigated the molecular mechanism responsible for the age-related loss of the pelvic floor muscle (PFM) mass and functionality-a pivotal contributor to pelvic organ prolapse and diminished physical well-being. ADP ribosylation factor GTPase activating protein 3 (ArfGAP3) is a member of ArfGAPs, which regulates the vesicular trafficking pathway and intracellular proteins transporting. However, its effects on skeletal muscle ageing remain largely unknown. - Source: PubMed

This condition causes an uncontrollable overflow of urine. The study's goal was to determine whether effector molecules, specifically ADP ribosylation factor GTPase activated protein 3, might play a part in the female pelvic floor muscle's ability to heal after suffering damage during vaginal delivery. Pelvic floor muscle samples were taken from women who had at least one vaginal delivery and were enrolled in either the IU group (n = 45; issue of stress urinary incontinence) or the NL group (n = 85; no issue of stress urinary incontinence) depending on whether they had a problem with stress urinary incontinence. Vesicle transport-related genes in female pelvic floor muscle injury repair were discovered using Gene Expression Omnibus. For gene analysis and screening, RT-qPCR was employed. On the first day following injury, the expression level of ARFGAP3 mRNA increased by 2.8 times (p 0.05) and by 5 times (p 0.01) on the third day. On the first day following damage, STMN1 mRNA expression rose by 0.3 times (p 0.05). On the first day following injury, the expression level of THBS2 mRNA increased by 1.6 times (p 0.01). On the third day following the injury, the expression level of PLXNB2 mRNA increased by 1.2 times (p 0. 01), and on the fifth day following the injury, it increased by 2.5 times (p 0. 01). After pelvic floor muscle damage, the mRNA expression levels of the CSF1R, ANXA4, and EMR1 genes dropped. Between those with and without pelvic floor muscle damage, there was no statistically significant difference in the expression levels of LGARLS3, KDELR3, and KIF20A mRNA (p > 0. 05 for all). The differential expression of genes after pelvic floor muscle injury can identify the target in the process of pelvic floor muscle injury repair and regeneration. - Source: PubMed

Liu XinWang XiaohuiXu TingnaLiu XiaLi Lingge - Skeletal muscle injuries are common, and damaged myofibers are repaired through proliferation and differentiation of muscle satellite cells. GLUT4 is enriched in GLUT4 storage vesicles (GSVs) and plays a crucial role in the maintenance of muscle function. ArfGAP3 regulates the vesicle transport especially for COPI coat assembly, but its effects on GSVs and the repair process after skeletal muscle injury remains unclear. In this study, datasets related to skeletal muscle injury and myoblast differentiation GSE469, GSE5413, GSE45577 and GSE108040 were retrieved through the GEO database and the expression of heptameric coat protein complex I (COPI) and Golgi vesicle transport-related genes in various datasets, as well as the expression correlation between ArfGAP2, ArfGAP3 and COPI-related genes COPA, COPB1, COPB2, COPE, COPZ1, COPZ2 were analyzed. The results suggested that ArfGAP3 was expressed in the process of repair after skeletal muscle injury and myoblast differentiation and that ArfGAP3 was positively correlated with COPI-related genes. In vitro experimental results showed that ArfGAP3 was colocalized with COPA, COPB, COPG protein, and GLUT4 in C2C12 myoblasts. After the downregulation of ArfGAP3 expression, intracellular vesicle transport, and glucose uptake were blocked, the proliferation of myoblasts under low glucose culture conditions was impaired, the proportion of apoptosis increased, and myotube differentiation was impaired. In summary, ArfGAP3 regulates COPI-associated vesicle and GSVs transport and affects the proliferation and differentiation ability of myoblasts by influencing glucose uptake, thereby modulating the repair process after skeletal muscle injury. - Source: PubMed
