In addition, RASSF5 was demonstrated to be a target of miR-532-5p. Knockdown of RASSF5 could decrease the apoptotic cells and reduce the activated apoptotic protein levels in TNF-α-induced NPCs. Overall, these data indicates that exosomes from BMSCs may suppress TNF-α-induced apoptosis, ECM degradation, and fibrosis deposition in NPCs through the delivery of miR-532-5p via targeting RASSF5. This work provides a promising therapeutic strategy for the progress of IDD.Background Fatigue is one of the important factors in traffic accidents. Hence, it is necessary to devise methods to detect the fatigue and apply practical fatigue detection solutions for drivers. New method This paper presents a method based on the empirical mode decomposition(EMD) of multi-scale entropy on the recorded forehead Electroencephalogram(EEG) signals. These EEG signals are decomposed to extract intrinsic mode functions(IMFs) by using the EMD technique. Then, the IMFs components are selected out by using the Pearson correlation coefficient and the best scale features on each signal are determined in multiple experiments. Results Results indicate that the empirical mode decomposition multi-scale fuzzy entropy feature classification recognition rate is up to 87.50%, the highest is 88.74%, which is 23.88% higher than the single-scale fuzzy entropy and 5.56% higher than multi-scale fuzzy entropy. Comparison with existing method Three types of entropies measures, permutation entropy(PE), sample entropy(SE), fuzzy entropy(FE), were applied for the analysis of signal and compared by seven classifiers in 10-fold and Leave-One-Out cross-validation experiments. Conclusions The proposed method can be effectively applied to the detection of driving fatigue.Aims Interleukin (IL) 9 is a pleiotropic cytokine, and recent studies have demonstrated that IL-9 is associated with several cardiovascular diseases, via regulation of the inflammatory response. Doxorubicin (DOX) is known to induce severe cardiac injury and dysfunction by enhancing inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the role of IL-9 in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Materials and methods DOX was used to induce cardiac dysfunction and the expression of IL-9 in the murine cardiac tissues was measured. The mice were intraperitoneally injected with recombinant mouse IL-9 (rmIL-9) or anti-IL-9 neutralizing antibody (IL-9nAb) for investigating the effect of IL-9 on DOX-induced cardiac injury and dysfunction. The messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines were determined in each group by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Selleck MLN2480 The effect of rmIL-9 or IL-9nAb on DOX-induced apoptosis was determined both in vivo and vitro. Key findings IL-9 levels significantly increased in the heart following DOX injection. Cardiac injury and dysfunction were induced by DOX, and treatment with IL-9nAb significantly alleviated DOX-induced injury, whereas rmIL-9 administration aggravated the cardiac damage. IL-9nAb decreased the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the DOX-treated mice, while rmIL-9 administration increased the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. IL-9nAb reduced DOX-induced myocardial apoptosis, whereas rmIL-9 administration produced the opposite results. Additionally, IL-9nAb mitigated the DOX-induced apoptosis in H9C2 cells, while administration of rmIL-9 produced the opposite effect. Significance Our results demonstrated that IL-9 aggravated DOX-induced cardiac injury and dysfunction by promoting the inflammatory response and cardiomyocyte apoptosis.Metabolic diseases, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, are known risk factors for cardiovascular (CV) diseases. Thus, patients with those comorbidities could be at increased risk of experiencing cardiotoxicity related to treatment with Anthracyclines and the other new generation targeted anticancer drugs. However, investigations addressing the mechanisms underlying the development of CV complications and poor outcome in such cohort of patients are still few and controversial. Given the importance of a personalized approach against chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy, this review summarizes our current knowledge on the pathophysiology of chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy and its association with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Along with clinical evidences, future perspectives of preclinical research around this field and its role in addressing important open questions, including the development of more proactive strategies for prevention, and treatment of cardiotoxicity during and after chemotherapy in the presence of metabolic diseases, is also presented.Intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) is an endogenous enzyme that promotes gastrointestinal homeostasis by detoxifying inflammatory mediators, tightening the gut barrier and promoting a healthy microbiome. Oral IAP administration was efficacious in ameliorating diabetes in a high fat diet (HFD)-induced murine model. In humans, maternal obesity and diabetes during pregnancy have been associated with an increased risk of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). In mice, HFD-induced maternal obesity leads to offspring with cognitive deficiency. Here we investigated whether IAP administration to obese dams could ameliorate autism-like disorders in mice. Using a HFD murine model, we recapitulated that maternal obesity leads to male offspring with social deficits as shown by the three chamber test and reciprocal social interaction analyses. Notably, oral delivery of IAP to dams improved those deficiencies. In addition, a jumping behavior was noted in pups from obese dams, which was rescued by maternal IAP treatment. Our findings suggest that maternal treatment with IAP can relieve some ASD-like symptoms in offspring mice.20 (S)-protopanaxadiol (PPD) possesses a variety of biological activities, including antioxidant, antifatigue and anti-inflammatory properties. This study was aimed to investigate the antidepressant-like effects of PPD and potential mechanisms in rats exposed to chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) model. Results showed that chronic treatment with PPD for 14 days ameliorated depressive-like behaviour, as indicated by the increase in sucrose preference in the sucrose preference test and decrease in immobility in the forced swim test and tail suspension test. In addition, PPD decreased the elevated levels of CORT and proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α) in the serum and neurotransmitters (5-HT and NE) in the hippocampus and PFC induced by CUMS. PPD suppressed the microglial activation in the DG induced by CUMS. Furthermore, our results suggested that rats treated with PPD displayed decreased iNOS, COX2, cleaved-caspase3, cleaved-caspase9, Bax, Bcl-2, and ac-p65 levels and increased Sirt1 levels in the hippocampus.
