Celastrol targets adenylyl cyclase-associated protein 1 to reduce macrophages-mediated inflammation and ameliorates high fat diet-induced metabolic syndrome in mice

Metabolic syndrome is a clustering of metabolic disorder with unclear molecular mechanism. Increasing studies have found that the pathogenesis and progression of metabolic syndrome are closely related to inflammation. Here, we report celastrol, a traditional Chinese medicine, can improve high fat diet-induced metabolic syndrome through suppressing resistin-induced inflammation. Mechanistically, celastrol binds to adenylyl cyclase associated protein 1 (CAP1) and inhibits the interaction between CAP1 and resistin, which restrains the cyclic adenylate monophosphate (cAMP)-protein kinase A (PKA)-nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-

SHP2 inhibition triggers anti-tumor immunity and synergizes with PD-1 blockade

Tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 is a promising drug target in cancer immunotherapy due to its bidirectional role in both tumor growth promotion and T-cell inactivation. Its allosteric inhibitor SHP099 is known to inhibit cancer cell growth both and . However, whether SHP099-mediated SHP2 inhibition retards tumor growth anti-tumor immunity remains elusive. To address this, a CT-26 colon cancer xenograft model was established in mice since this cell line is insensitive to SHP099. Consequently, SHP099 minimally affected CT-26 tumor growth in immuno-deficient nude mice, but significantly decreased the tumor burden in CT-26 tumor-bearing mice with intact immune system. SHP099 augmented anti-tumor immunity, as shown by the elevated proportion of CD8IFN- T cells and the upregulation of cytotoxic T-cell related genes including , which decreased the tumor load. In addition, tumor growth in mice with SHP2-deficient T-cells was markedly slowed down because of enhanced anti-tumor responses. Finally, the combination of SHP099 and anti-PD-1 antibody showed a higher therapeutic efficacy than either monotherapy in controlling tumor growth in two colon cancer xenograft models, indicating that these agents complement each other. Our study suggests that SHP2 inhibitor SHP099 is a promising candidate drug for cancer immunotherapy.

Influence of peer support on blood glucose management of type 2 diabetic patients / 中国基层医药

Objective To explore the influence of peer support on blood glucose management of type 2 diabetic patients.Methods From April 2017 to December 2017,the study subjects were selected according to the inclusion criteria from all type 2 diabetes patients who admitted in the Fourth People′s Hosipital of Ningbo.The patients in bed 1-9 were assigned into observation group,and patients in bed 10-20 were assigned into control group.All beds were assigned randomly from a random number generator.Standard diabetes education was provided to both two groups,while peer support was added to the experimental group.The average hospitalization costs and length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups using t-test.Results The average hospitalization cost of the observation group was(6218.48 ±1432.75)yuan,which of the control group was(6913.32 ±1426.34)yuan,the average hospitalization time of the observation group was(6.49 ±1.91)d,which of the control group was(7.41 ±1.99)d,the differences between the two groups were significant(t=-4.480,-4.347,all P<0.01).Conclusion Application of peer support to the glucose management in patients with type 2 diabetes can effectively enhance education effect and reduce hospitalization cost and length of hospital stay.
