ABSTRACT

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by severe synovial inflammation and cartilage damage. Despite great progress in RA therapy, there still lacks the drugs to completely cure RA patients. Herein, we propose a reprogrammed neutrophil cytopharmaceuticals loading with TNFα-targeting-siRNA (siTNFα) as an alternative anti-inflammatory approach for RA treatment. The loaded siTNFα act as not only the gene therapeutics to inhibit TNFα production by macrophages in inflamed synovium, but also the editors to reprogram neutrophils to anti-inflammatory phenotypes. Leveraging the active tendency of neutrophils to inflammation, the reprogrammed siTNFα/neutrophil cytopharmaceuticals (siTNFα/TP/NEs) can rapidly migrate to the inflamed synovium, transfer the loaded siTNFα to macrophages followed by the significant reduction of TNFα expression, and circumvent the pro-inflammatory activity of neutrophils, thus leading to the alleviated synovial inflammation and improved cartilage protection. Our work provides a promising cytopharmaceutical for RA treatment, and puts forward a living neutrophil-based gene delivery platform.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the correlation between nasal resistance and lung function in children with allergic rhinitis(AR), and explore whether AR children with increased nasal resistance are accompanied by potential lower respiratory tract involvement. Methods:A total of 88 children diagnosed with AR from December 2021 to December 2022 were selected as the study group, while 20 normal children were selected as the control group during the same period. Both the study group and the control group children underwent lung function tests, bronchodilator tests, and nasal resistance measurements. Spearman correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were performed on the results of nasal resistance and lung function tests to explore the relationship and influencing factors between the two groups.According to the results of nasal resistance measurement, children with increased nasal resistance and abnormal lung function were divided into a mild increase in nasal resistance with abnormal lung function group and a moderate to severe increase in nasal resistance with abnormal lung function group. The degree of increased nasal resistance was analyzed to determine whether it would affect lung function. Results:The FEF25, FEF50, and FEF75 levels in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05). The FEV1of children with moderate to severe increase in AR nasal resistance was significantly lower than that of children with mild increase in AR nasal resistance(P<0.05). There was a correlation between nasal resistance and FEV1/FVC, R20 in AR children, and FEV1/FVC, R20 were the influencing factors of nasal resistance in AR children(P<0.05). There was no correlation between total serum IgE, lung function, and bronchodilation test in AR patients(P>0.05). Conclusion:The nasal ventilation function of AR patients has changed, and there is a downward trend in small airway function. Children with moderate to severe increase in AR nasal resistance have a more significant decrease in lung ventilation function than those with mild increase. The nasal resistance of AR children is influenced by FEV1/FVC and R20, and FEV1/FVC and R20 decrease as the nasal resistance value increases. The improvement rate of lung function and FEV1 are not influencing factors for the elevation of total serum IgE.

ABSTRACT

@#The major reason for the resistance of Gram-negative bacteria to β-lactam antibiotics is the expression of β-lactamases.Metallo-β-lactamases (MBL) hydrolyze almost all types of β-lactam antibiotics including carbapenems, posing a challenge to global public health. Developing MBL inhibitors is an important method to treat the infections caused by resistant bacteria. As an important type of MBL inhibitors, chelating agents can inhibit MBL by chelating, stripping, and binding Zn2+ in the active center of MBL.This review summarizes recent publications on chelators as MBL inhibitors, discussing their chemical structures, inhibitory potency, synergistic effects with antibiotics, selectivity and mechanism of action, including EDTA and related compounds, aspergillomarasmine A (AMA) and its derivatives, NOTA and related compounds, pyridine carboxylic acid and pyridine methylamine compounds, aiming to provide reference for future development of potent, selective and safe clinical MBL inhibitors.

ABSTRACT

Background Occupational health risk assessment of dust-exposed operations is an important part of occupational health work. However, there is a lack of objective and effective methods for validating the risk assessment results. Objective To explore the application value of chest imaging changes in validating occupational health risk assessment results of dust-exposed operations. Methods Alumina dust-exposed workers in an abrasive manufacturing company were selected as study subjects. The Australian Occupational Health and Safety Risk Assessment model (Australian model), and the Singapore semi-quantitative risk assessment model of occupational exposure to chemical substances (Singaporean model) were used to conduct occupational health risk assessment for the target group. Consistency of the assessment results was compared. The cumulative risk value and cumulative risk level of the subjects were calculated. The subjects were examined and diagnosed by chest radiographs, and the differences in the positive rates of aluminum dust shadows of workers at different job risk levels and different cumulative risk levels were compared. Results The average risk ratios (RR) of selected alumina dust-exposed workers estimated by the Australian model and the Singapore model were both 0.49±0.10, indicating generally medium occupational health risk level. The evaluation results of the two models were obviously consistent (kappa test, k = 0.823, P < 0.001). Among the 192 subjects, 62 (32.3%) were found to have aluminum dust shadows on their chest radiographs, and there were no case of pneumoconiosis. The aluminum dust shadows were mainly classified by shape and size as “s” (30.7%); the profusion of small opacities was mainly "less than 0/1" (31.3%); they were mostly distributed in 2 pulmonary zones (18.8%), and mostly in the right lower lung (18.8%), and none was seen in the two upper lung zones. The positive rate of aluminum dust shadows in the high-risk workplaces (41.7%) assessed by the Australian model was significantly higher than that in the medium-risk workplaces (22.9%) (P < 0.01). The positive rate of aluminum dust shadows in the medium-risk workplaces (42.7%) assessed by the Singapore model was significantly higher than that in the low-risk workplaces (23.3%) (P < 0.01). The cumulative risk levels evaluated by the two models were all atⅠ- Ⅲ levels. With the increase of cumulative risk level by the two models, the positive rates of aluminum dust shadows in the subjects both showed an obvious increase trend (P < 0.05). Conclusion The risk assessment results of the Australian model and the Singapore model are obviously consistent for the target group. They can be jointly applied to the risk assessment of dust-exposed operations. The application of chest imaging changes is of certain value to validate the results of occupational health risk assessment for dust-exposed operations.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors for osteonecrosis (ON) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods:This is a case-control study. A total of 118 patients diagnosed with SLE complicated with ON (study group) were retrospectively analyzed between 2014 and 2019. Gender, age, and course matched 118 SLE patients without ON were selected as controls. Clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, medical history, and treatments were recorded and analyzed.Results:Among 118 patients, the male to female ratio was 20 to 98 with a median age of 27 years and course of disease 1-168 months. Compared with the control group, the study group presented a longer cumulative duration of glucocorticoid therapy [36.5 (0-168) months vs. 19.0(0-168) months on average, P<0.05], a higher incidence of osteoporosis (29.7% vs. 4.2%, P<0.001), a higher frequency of immune-suppressive therapy (83.9% vs. 64.4%, P=0.035), more organs involveed [median 2 (0-5) vs. 1 (0-4)], and a higher SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) (14.22±7.40 vs. 11.63±6.11, P<0.05) in univariate logistic regression. The control group had a higher rate of positive Coombs test (39.8% vs. 7.6%, P<0.05). No statistical difference on methylprednisolone (MP) pulse therapy ( P>0.05) was observed. Multivariate logistic regression suggested that SLEDAI ( OR= 1.070, 95% CI 1.026-1.116, P<0.005), osteoporosis ( OR=10.668, 95% CI 3.911-29.103, P<0.001) and a positive Coombs test( OR=0.492, 95% CI 0.266-0.910, P<0.05) were related to the development of ON in SLE patients. Conclusion:A higher disease activity and the presence of osteoporosis are associated with an increased risk of ON in patients with SLE, and positive Coombs test seems a protective factor of ON.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the role of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element-binding protein (CREB) signaling pathway in tetramethylpyrazine-induced reduction of hippocampal inflammatory responses in mice with sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE).Methods:Sixty healthy male C57BL6 mice, weighing 24-27 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=15 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (group Sham), sepsis group (group Sep), tetramethylpyrazine group (group TMP) and p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 group (group SB). The model of SAE was established by cecal ligation and puncture in anesthetized mice.Tetramethylpyrazine 10 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally once a day at 3 days before the establishment of the model in TMP group, and SB203580 2.0 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 30 min after the establishment of the model in SB group.The equal volume of normal saline was given intraperitoneally in Sham and Sep groups.At 1 day after operation, cognitive function was assessed by Morris water maze, and the escape latency and ratio of time spent in the target quadrant were recorded.The animals were sacrificed after the test, and hippocampal tissues were taken for determination of the contents of interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and IL-6 (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and for detection of the expression of phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, GSK3 and CREB and expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) (by Western blot). Results:Compared with group Sham, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the ratios of time spent in the target quadrant were decreased, the contents of IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 were increased, the phosphorylation of hippocampus p38 MAPK was increased, the phosphorylation of GSK3 and CREB were decreased, and the expression of BDNF was down-regulated in Sep, TMP and SB groups ( P<0.05).

ABSTRACT

Objective Investigation of the carrier rate, genotyping and genotype frequency of alpha-thalassemia among infertile subjects in Guangxi, and analysis of the relationship between the results of hemoglobin electrophoresis and hematologic parameters among patients with three phenotypes of alpha-thalassemia and subjects with non-thalassemia. Methods The preliminarily patients who were diagnosed as beta-thalassemia via HbA2>3.5% and/or HbF> 2% were excluded. Alpha-thalassemia genes of 10 020 infertile subjects were detected in our center from 2017 to 2018, and the results of hemoglobin electrophoresis and hematologic parameters in patients with three phenotypes of alpha-thalassemia were compared. Results 624 patients with alpha-thalassemia were confirmed via gene diagnostic technique, including 19 genotypes, total carrier rate for 6.23%, 275 (2.74%) patients with silent alpha-thalassemia, 326 (3.25%) patients with alpha-thalassemia trait and 23 (0.23%) patients with HbH disease. The most common genotype was--SEA/αα, followed by-α3.7/αα and α, CSα/αα. The parameters of MCV, MCH, MCHC, Hb, HCT, HbA2 were lower, but the value of RBC were higher (both P < 0.05) , in patients with three phenotypes of alpha-thalassemia than subjects with non-thalassemia. The parameters mentioned above excluding HbA2 in patients with alpha-thalassemia showed the following regularity : silent alpha-thalassemia> potential alpha-thalassemia> HbH disease. RBC value tended to increase gradually in patients with silent alpha-thalassemia, potential alpha-thalassemia and HbH disease. Conclusion Infertility with alpha-thalassemia is very popular in Guangxi, especially--SEA/αα which is the most common genotype. The value of MCV, MCH, MCHC, Hb, RBC and HCT are conducive to screening for infertile subjects with alpha-thalassemia, and have certain clinical value for differentiating three phenotypes of alpha-thalassemia.

ABSTRACT

@#Microbial secondary metabolites have always been one of the important sources of discovery and development of new drugs due to their remarkable biological activities. The explosion of genome sequences has revealed that Streptomyces harbor an immensely untapped biosynthetic potential. However, the number of active secondary metabolites with new skeletons or structural units found from Streptomyces is much lower than that of biosynthetic gene clusters(BGCs), mainly due to the fact that many BGCs are either expressed weakly or transcriptionally silent under conventional laboratory conditions. Beginning with the bioinformatics tools for BGCs prediction, this review focuses on the classical approaches to activate silent BGCs of Streptomyces in native and heterologous hosts. Moreover, several new strategies including transcriptional factors decoy, reporter-guided high-throughput selection and muliplexed CRISPR-TAR were detailed, which provide methodological references for mining new secondary metabolites from Streptomyces.

ABSTRACT

@#Microbial secondary metabolites have been a major source for drug discovery and development due to their structural novelty and diversity. Microbial secondary metabolites, typically encoded by specific biosynthetic gene cluster(BGC), are non-essential for the growth and propagation of the microbes. Despite the abundant existence of microbes, the majority of them are unculturable under laboratory conditions. Moreover, given that most of the BGCs from culturable microbes are silent, the discovery of novel microbial secondary metabolites has been hampered. Recently, the heterologous expression of BGCs has become an attractive approach to discover various microbial secondary metabolites, among which TAR-based heterologous expression is one of the important tools. This review summarized the principle of TAR, the applications and the advanced strategies of TAR-based methods for heterologous expression of secondary metabolites, which may help the advancements of drug discovery and development from microbial sources.

ABSTRACT

@#A new method for determining transaminase activity based on the color change of the reaction solution was established, by using alanine-dependent transaminase VfTA from Vibrio fluvialis JS17 as the research object coupled with pyruvate oxidase and horseradish peroxidase. After the optimization of the conditions, the linear relationship between VfTA activity units and the absorbance at 400 nm was investigated. This method was also applied to determine the activity of commercial transaminase ATA117. The results showed that the detection limit of transaminase VfTA activity was up to 0. 45 U/mL and the detection limit of ATA117 activity was up to 0. 5 U/mL. The transaminase activity could be quickly judged according to the color depth of the reaction solution.

Natural products are one of the most important sources for druggable lead compounds given their diverse structures and activities.Nevertheless,very few of them can be directly developed to drugs.The undesirable druggability of natural products result from their weaker activity,lower aqueous solubility and poorer stability.Since improving druggability by chemical modifications is restricted by the limited access to the complex structures of natural products,enzymatic modification has gradually become one of important tools for the structural modification of natural products.Meanwhile,since enzymatic glycosylation by glycosyltransferases has shown certain advantages such as excellent regio-and stereo-selectivity,high catalytic efficiency and mild conditions.It has been a promising route for the improvement of druggability for natural products.In the present review,we summarize different glycosyltransferases and their application for structural modification of natural products as well as the challenges issues involved in the glycosylation,which provides a general perspective on the enzymatic modification of natural products for the improvement of their draggability.
