- : Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by a complex interplay of dopaminergic degeneration, glial activation, and lipid metabolic dysregulation. However, accurately describing how natural product interventions remodel these pathologies across distinct brain regions and cellular microenvironments remains a critical challenge. : We established an integrated multi-omics framework to decode the neuroprotective mechanisms of solanesol (Sol) in an MPTP-induced PD mouse model. We combined single-cell eQTL-based Mendelian randomization (scMR), transcriptomic localization, and virtual knockout analyses to prioritize cell-type-specific regulatory nodes across neuronal, glial, and vascular populations, avoiding the limitations of traditional bulk targeting. In vivo behavioral assays were conducted, alongside orthogonal validation via airflow-assisted desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging (AFADESI-MSI) and gene-metabolite co-enrichment analysis, to map regional metabolic networks and structural spatial reprogramming. : Computational prioritization highlighted cell-type-specific regulatory nodes including PRKCB, PRKCE, PDGFRB, and FABP3/5. In vivo, Sol attenuated motor and cognitive deficits and largely restored the highly compartmentalized spatial distributions of striatal dopamine, L-DOPA, and acetylcholine. Crucially, AFADESI-MSI and co-enrichment analysis revealed that Sol specifically reversed MPTP-induced spatial disruptions by rescuing key neuromodulatory metabolites-including cervonoyl ethanolamide, phosphatidylcholine species, taurine, and NADHX-which were tightly coupled to sphingolipid signaling, fatty-acid transport, mitochondrial translation, and cell-adhesion pathways. Conclusions: Sol ameliorates PD-like pathology not through a singular target, but by choreographing a spatially and cellularly compartmentalized restoration of lipid-inflammatory homeostasis. Furthermore, our integrated single-cell and spatial metabolomic blueprint sets a new methodological paradigm for elucidating the precise execution programs of natural neurotherapeutics. - Source: PubMed

Li QianXu LutaoZhu MingyuWang GaogeChen HuanHou HongweiBai Yu - Elucidating the genetic architecture of body weight (BW), body conformation, and coat color (CC) is vital for the precision breeding of Gamba sheep, a unique high-altitude indigenous breed. While previous studies focused primarily on general plateau adaptation, the specific genetic drivers regulating economic traits in this extreme-altitude population remain poorly understood. In this study, we characterized six key phenotypic traits and conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS) leveraging whole-genome resequencing data from 296 individuals. To ensure the robustness of our findings, we systematically evaluated five statistical models (GLM, MLM, CMLM, MLMM, and the SUPER model) across different trait categories. The SUPER model was ultimately selected for growth-related traits due to its superior power in balancing signal sensitivity and false-positive control, whereas the MLMM model demonstrated the optimal fitting performance for the binary coat color phenotype, with both models consistently yielding genomic inflation factors ( λ ) close to the theoretical expectation ( 1.0). Phenotypic investigation revealed distinct sexual dimorphism in growth determinants: cannon bone circumference was the primary driver of body weight in rams, whereas body height and heart girth dominated in ewes. The GWAS identified 82 genome-wide significant SNPs, leading to the mapping of a prominent novel genomic region on chromosome 5 associated with body height. Functional annotation highlighted PRKCE and SGIP1 as plausible positional candidate genes for growth characteristics, while SPIRE2 was pinpointed as a primary genomic driver regulating coat color variation. These findings provide novel insights into the genetic blueprint governing growth and pigmentation in this unique livestock, offering precise molecular targets for future marker-assisted selection. - Source: PubMed

Chen ChiXu BaichengDang JiongTan HuanBian PanpanWang YanliGuo Yufen - Gualou Xiebai Banxia decoction (GXB) is a classic formula originated from "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber", with efficacy in activating cardiac "yang", resolving phlegm, and promoting blood circulation. Nearly 2000 years of clinical practice have demonstrated the efficacy of GXB in managing myocardial ischemia (MI). Nevertheless, its regulatory effects on metabolic disturbances associated with MI and the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. - Source: PubMed

Zuo Li-HuaYang Sheng-JieZhang Zhi-BoHe Chen-HanWei Yu-JieAn Ya-RanZhao Song-FengSun ZhiLiu Li-Wei - Human neural organoids (NOs) provide a powerful platform for investigating synaptic development and dysfunction during early neurodevelopment. However, methodologies for isolating functional synaptic structures from these models remain limited. Here, we present a differential centrifugation protocol enabling the enrichment of growth cone particles (GCPs) and immature synaptosomes from air-liquid interface cerebral organoids (ALI-COs) at distinct developmental stages (Day 90 and 150). Notably, the method avoids density gradients, requires minimal starting material while maintaining reproducibility across human and murine tissues. Quantitative proteomic profiling revealed significant enrichment of growth cone markers (e.g., GAP43) and classical synaptosomal proteins (e.g., PCLO, BSN, SYN1). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed the presence of membrane-enclosed GCPs with fibrous content and mitochondria in Day 90 isolates, and immature synaptosomes containing synaptic vesicles on day 150. Functional viability of both types of synaptic structures was demonstrated through KCl-induced depolarization, which triggered phosphorylation changes in growth cone proteins (GAP43, MARCKS, MARCKSL1), cytoskeletal regulators (DCLK1, SHTN1, MARK4, MAP1B) and protein kinases (CAMK2G, PRKCE) in Day 90 GCPs, as well as classical synaptic vesicle cycle proteins (SYN1, DNM1, RPH3A) at Day 150. Overall, this study establishes a centrifugation-based protocol for isolating growth cones and immature synapses from human organoids, capturing key stages of synaptic development and enabling scalable, patient-compatible models to study synaptic function and dysfunction in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. - Source: PubMed
