Patients with NMOSD are at significant risk of cognitive deficits. However, the knowledge of cognitive symptoms in NMOSD and potential modifying interventions is still scarce. Further accumulation of clinical data may facilitate effective therapeutic interventions.

The Omega-3 Index is a test that measures the amount of the long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in red blood cell membranes, which is expressed as a percentage of all fatty acids. However, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) from flaxseed oil, which is a short-chain n-3 PUFA, is often promoted in pet feed as a n-3 source, implicitly assuming it is an effective precursor of EPA and DHA.

This study was aimed to compare the effect of supplementation with a plant-based short-chain n-3 PUFA source (flaxseed oil, FSO) with a marine long-chain n-3 PUFA source (astaxanthin krill oil, AKO) to increase the Omega-3 Index in dogs.

Ten adult Alaskan Huskies of both genders were supplemented daily with 1,155mg of EPA/DHA from AKO, whereas another 10 dogs received 1,068mg ALA from flaxseed oil for 6weeks. Fatty acid and Omega-3 Index measurements of the two groups were taken after 0, 3 and 6weeks for comparison.

The EPA and DHA concentrations proposed by feed industry organizations are not met with conversion from short-chain n-3 fatty acids.MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNA molecules that interact with target mRNAs at specific sites to induce cleavage of the mRNA or inhibit translation. Such miRNAs play a vital role in gene expression and in several other biological processes, including cell death. We have studied the mechanisms regulating cell death (necrosis in original F28-7 cells and apoptosis in their variant F28-7-A cells) in the mouse mammary tumor cell line FM3A using the anticancer agent floxuridine (FUdR). We previously reported that inhibition of heat-shock protein 90 by the specific inhibitor geldanamycin (GA) in F28-7 cells causes a shift from necrosis to apoptosis. In this study, we investigated the intracellular miRNA expression profiles of FUdR-treated F28-7 cells (necrotic condition), GA plus FUdR-treated F28-7 cells (apoptotic condition), and FUdR-treated F28-7-A cells (apoptotic condition) through miRNA microarray analysis. In addition, we knocked down Dicer, a key molecule for the expression of mature miRNAs, in F28-7 cells to examine whether it modulates FUdR-induced cell death. Our analysis revealed that the miRNA expression patterns differ significantly between these cell death conditions. Furthermore, we identified miRNA candidates that regulate cell death. SN 52 mw Knockdown of Dicer in FUdR-treated necrosis-fated cells caused a partial shift from necrosis to apoptosis. These findings suggest that modulation of miRNA expression patterns influences the decision of cell death fate toward necrosis or apoptosis. Our findings may serve as a basis for further study of the functions of miRNAs in cell death mechanisms.Cullin 4B (CUL4B) was reported to be closely related to the progression of some tumors, but its function in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) has not been reported. Our present study found CUL4B was upregulated in ccRCC, and CUL4B knockdown markedly inhibited ccRCC cell growth and induced apoptosis. In addition, CUL4B knockdown markedly inhibited antiapoptotic proteins' expression in ccRCC cells, including Mcl-1 and Bcl-2, and silenced CUL4B also induced the cleavages of PARP, an important index of apoptosis. We also confirmed microRNA-217 (miR-217) was downregulated in ccRCC tumor tissues, and negatively correlated with CUL4B expression. Further investigations revealed miR-217 targeted CUL4B and markedly inhibited its expression in ccRCC cells. In addition, overexpression of miR-217 by mimics significantly suppressed ccRCC cell growth. In contrast, enforced expression of CUL4B significantly abolished miR-217-induced cell survival inhibition in ccRCC cells. In conclusion, our present results suggested targeting miR-217-CUL4B axis would be a promising strategy for ccRCC treatment.

To investigate whether elevated serum levels of sTWEAK (soluble tumor necrosis factor-like inducer of apoptosis) might be involved in a higher frequency of symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation (HT) through the presence of leukoaraiosis (LA) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (IS) undergoing reperfusion therapies.

This is a retrospective observational study. The primary endpoint was to study the sTWEAK-LA-HT relationship by comparing results with biomarkers associated to HT and evaluating functional outcome at 3-months. Clinical factors, neuroimaging variables and biomarkers associated to inflammation, endothelial/atrial dysfunction or blood-brain barrier damage were also investigated.

We enrolled 875 patients (mean age 72.3±12.2years; 46.0% women); 710 individuals underwent intravenous thrombolysis, 87 endovascular therapy and 78 both. HT incidence was 32%; LA presence was 75.4%. Patients with poor functional outcome at 3-months showed higher sTWEAK levels at admission (9844.2 [7460.4-12,542.0] vs. 2717.3 [1489.7-5852.3] pg/mL, P<0.0001). SN 52 mw By means of logistic regression models, PDGF-CC and sTWEAK were associated with mechanisms linked simultaneously to HT and LA. Serum sTWEAK levels at admission ≥6700pg/mL were associated with an odds ratio of 13 for poor outcome at 3-months (OR 13.6; CI 95% 8.2-22.6, P<0.0001).

Higher sTWEAK levels are independently associated with HT and poor functional outcome in patients with IS undergoing reperfusion therapies through the presence of LA. sTWEAK could become a therapeutic target to reduce HT incidence in patients with IS.
