Lead (Pb) is one of the most harmful soil contaminants affecting plant growth. Cymbopogon citratus (lemongrass) stands out due to its essential oil rich in citral. Studies indicate that Azospirillum brasilense stimulates the development of lemongrass, optimizing nutrient uptake. The methodology involved a factorial greenhouse experiment using lemongrass grown in Pb-contaminated soil, with or without inoculation by A. brasilense (strains Ab-V5 and Ab-V6), and included evaluations of plant growth, Pb and nitrogen content, nitrate reductase activity, essential oil composition, and antibacterial activity. This study tested the effects of A. brasilense in soils with different Pb concentrations, analyzing growth parameters and essential oil composition. The results showed that lemongrass exhibited favorable root development at Pb concentrations up to 300 mg kg⁻¹, and A. brasilense improved nitrogen fixation and stress tolerance. The essential oil of lemongrass, free of Pb contamination, contains high levels of neral and geranial and demonstrated bactericidal activity against Xanthomonas citri and inhibitory effects on X. vesicatoria. These findings suggest that lemongrass oil can be used in biological pest control, highlighting its potential for sustainable applications in the cosmetic and natural disinfectant industries. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.

The aerial parts of Baccharis trimera (Less.) are frequently used as a tea to treat several diseases. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the constituents of an aqueous extract of B. trimera, focusing on their antioxidant, anti-inflammation, and antinociception activities and properties. For that, the researchers performed in vivo assays using the formalin test and Freund’s Complete Adjuvant (FCA) to measure the acute and chronic inflammatory pain in mice. Moreover, the myeloperoxidase enzyme (MPO) was analyzed in the subcutaneous tissue after the FCA injection, together with the counting of lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of the mice. The qualitative phytochemical analysis indicated the presence of flavonoids and saponins in the B. trimera aqueous extract. The high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses showed the presence of phenolic compounds, such as chlorogenic acid, ellagic acid, rosmarinic acid, as well as flavonoids, such as rutin, quercetin, and luteolin. The DPPH assay was used in order to measure the antioxidant activity of the aqueous extract of B. trimera and this showed an IC50 of 118.18 ± 1.02 μg/mg. The data from the formalin test demonstrated that a single dose of the aqueous extract of B. trimera was not able to decrease the nociceptive behavior during the neurogenic phase, at any of the tested doses (20, 40, or 80 mg/kg p.o.). However, during the inflammatory phase of this test, the aqueous extract of B. trimera at 80 mg/kg (p.o.) significantly decreased the nociceptive behavior, showing more effectiveness when compared to the other tested doses (p < 0.05). Importantly, in the chronic inflammatory model on the 5th day of treatment, the aqueous extract of B. trimera (80 mg/kg p.o.) significantly reduced mechanical allodynia (p < 0.01), heat thermal hyperalgesia (p < 0.001), and paw edema (p < 0.05). There were no changes in the MPO activity, but the data exhibited an equivalent decrease in the number of lymph

Despite efforts to elucidate Zika virus (ZIKV) teratogenesis, still several issues remain unresolved, particularly on the molecular mechanisms behind the pathogenesis of Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS). To answer this question, we used bioinformatics tools, animal experiments and human gene expression analysis to investigate genes related to brain development potentially involved in CZS. Searches in databases for genes related to brain development and CZS were performed, and a protein interaction network was created. The expression of these genes was analyzed in a CZS animal model and secondary gene expression analysis (DGE) was performed in human cells exposed to ZIKV. A total of 2610 genes were identified in the databases, of which 1013 were connected. By applying centrality statistics of the global network, 36 candidate genes were identified, which, after selection resulted in nine genes. Gene expression analysis revealed distinctive expression patterns for PRKDC, PCNA, ATM, SMC3 as well as for FGF8 and SHH in the CZS model. Furthermore, DGE analysis altered expression of ATM, PRKDC, PCNA. In conclusion, systems biology are helpful tools to identify candidate genes to be validated in vitro and in vivo. PRKDC, PCNA, ATM, SMC3, FGF8 and SHH have altered expression in ZIKV-induced brain malformations. © Elsevier Ltd

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer diagnosed in women worldwide. BC stem cells (BCSCs) have been known to be involved in the carcinogenesis of the breast and contribute to therapeutic resistance. The programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression of BC correlated with a poor prognosis. Immunotherapies that target PD-L1 have great potential and have been successful when applied to cancer treatment. However, whether PD-L1 regulates BCSC formation is unknown. BCSCs were enriched by serum-free suspension culture. The properties of BCSCs were examined by mammosphere formation assay, CD44+/Cd24−, aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) assay, CSC marker analysis, and mammosphere growth assay. To elucidate the functions of bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4), nuclear PD-L1, and RelB proteins in the stemness of BCSCs, mammosphere formation was examined using BRD4 inhibitor and degrader, PD-L1 degrader, and RelB inhibitor. The antitumor function of 3',4',7,8-tetrahydroxyflavone (THF), a specific BRD4 inhibitor, was studied through in vivo tumor model and mouse studies, and the protein levels of c-Myc, PD-L1, and RelB were examined in tumor model under THF treatment. BRD4 was upregulated in breast CSCs and regulates the stemness of BCs. The downregulation of BRD4 using BRD4 PROTAC, ARV-825, and BRD4 inhibitor, (+)-JQ1, inhibits mammosphere formation and reduces the levels of breast CSC markers (CD44+/CD24− and ALDH1), stem cell marker genes, and mammosphere growth. BRD4 inhibitor (JQ1) and degrader (ARV825) downregulate membrane and nuclear fractions of PD-L1 through the inhibition of PD-L1 transcript levels. The knockdown of PD-L1 inhibits mammosphere formation. Verteporfin, a PD-L1 degrader, inhibits the transcripts and protein levels of PD-L1 and downregulates the transcript and protein levels of RelB. Calcitriol, a RelB inhibitor, and the knockdown of RelB using si-RelB regulate mammosphere formation through interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression. THF is a natural product and

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) constitutes over 90% of oral cancers, known for its aggressiveness and poor prognosis. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising adjuvant therapy and is linked to immunogenic cell death, activating innate and adaptive anti-tumor responses. Natural Killer (NK) cells, key players in malignant cell elimination, have not been extensively studied in PDT. This study evaluates whether PDT increases OSCC cell lines' susceptibility to NK cell cytotoxicity. PDT, using 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) and LED irradiation, was applied to Ca1 and Luc4 cell lines. Results showed a dose-dependent viability decrease post-PDT. Gene expression analysis revealed upregulation of NK cell-activating ligands (ULBP1-4, MICA/B) and decreased MHC class I expression in Ca1, suggesting increased NK cell susceptibility. Enhanced NK cell cytotoxicity was confirmed in Ca1 but not in Luc4 cells. These findings indicate that PDT may enhance NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity in OSCC, offering potential for improved treatment strategies. © 2024 Wiley-VCH GmbH.

The wide-ranging applications of biflavonoids enriched in Selaginella plants, particularly in cuisines and medicines, have attracted interest in the isolation of bioactive biflavonoids. However, identification of bioactive compounds in a complex mixture is a crucial challenge in medicinal plant research. The data set of Selaginella willdenowii fractions having anti-inflammatory activity combined with their LC-MS-based metabolomic profiles was analyzed by the multivariate analysis. The findings suggested that tetrahydrobilobetin and 2′′,3′′-dihydrobilobetin were the potential anti-inflammatory agents. Furthermore, robustaflavone-7′′-methyl ether (9c) demonstrated the strongest cytotoxicity against three cancer cell lines (A549, HepG2, and T47D) with high selectivity for A549 cells. Further mechanistic investigation indicated that 9c induced apoptotic cell death through elevation of ROS level in A549 cells. Notably, this work highlights the potential of applying a metabolomic strategy coupled with bioassay-guided isolation, thereby accelerating research in drug discovery and providing a valuable source of ingredients for the development of value-added food products. © 2025, The Authors.

Electron transfer is at the heart of many fundamental physical, chemical, and biochemical processes essential for life. The exact simulation of these reactions is often hindered by the large number of degrees of freedom and by the essential role of quantum effects. Here, we experimentally simulate a paradigmatic model of molecular electron transfer using a multispecies trapped-ion crystal, where the donor-acceptor gap, the electronic and vibronic couplings, and the bath relaxation dynamics can all be controlled independently. By manipulating both the ground-state and optical qubits, we observe the real-time dynamics of the spin excitation, measuring the transfer rate in several regimes of adiabaticity and relaxation dynamics. Our results provide a testing ground for increasingly rich models of molecular excitation transfer processes that are relevant for molecular electronics and light-harvesting systems. © 2024, CC BY-NC-ND.
