Neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase 3 (NTRK3) has pleiotropic functions: it acts not only as an oncogene in breast and gastric cancers but also as a dependence receptor in tumor suppressor genes in colon cancer and neuroblastomas. However, the role of NTRK3 in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is not well documented. This study investigated the association between NTRK3 expression and outcomes in UTUC patients and validated the results in tests on UTUC cell lines. A total of 118 UTUC cancer tissue samples were examined to evaluate the expression of NTRK3. Survival curves were generated using Kaplan–Meier estimates, and Cox regression models were used for investigating survival outcomes. Higher NTRK3 expression was correlated with worse progression-free survival, cancer-specific survival, and overall survival. Moreover, the results of an Ingenuity Pathway Analysis suggested that NTRK3 may interact with the PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway to promote cancer. NTRK3 downregulation in BFTC909 cells through shRNA reduced cellular migration, invasion, and activity in the AKT-mTOR pathway. Furthermore, the overexpression of NTRK3 in UM-UC-14 cells promoted AKT-mTOR pathway activity, cellular migration, and cell invasion. From these observations, we concluded that NTRK3 may contribute to aggressive behaviors in UTUC by facilitating cell migration and invasion through its interaction with the AKT-mTOR pathway and the expression of NTRK3 is a potential predictor of clinical outcomes in cases of UTUC. © 2024 The Authors.

Background and aim: In Taiwan, Vitis thunbergii var. taiwaniana (VTT) is used in traditional medicine and as a local tea. VTT rich in resveratrol and resveratrol oligomers have been reported to exhibit anti-obesity and anti-hypertensive activities in animal models;however, no studies have investigated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treatments. This study aimed to investigate the anti-T2DM effects of resveratrol tetramers isolated from the VTT in nicotinamide/streptozotocin (STZ)-induced Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice. Experimental procedure: The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was used to imitate postprandial blood glucose (BG) regulations in mice by pre-treatment with VTT extracts, resveratrol tetramers of vitisin A, vitisin B, and hopeaphenol 30 min before glucose loads. Vitisin B (50 mg/kg) was administered to treat T2DM-ICR mice once daily for 28 days to investigate its hypoglycemic activity. Results and conclusion: Mice pre-treated with VTT-S-95EE, or vitisin B (100 mg/kg) 30-min before glucose loading showed significant reductions (P < 0.001) in the area under the curve at 120-min (BG-AUC_0-120) than those without pre-treatment with VTT-S-95 E E or vitisin B. Vitisin B-treated T2DM mice showed hypoglycemic activities via a reduction in plasma dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-IV activities to maintain insulin actions and differed significantly than those of untreated T2DM mice (P < 0.05), and also reduced BG-AUC_0-120 and insulin-AUC_0-120 in the OGTT. These in vivo results showed that VTT containing vitisin B would be beneficial for developing nutraceuticals and/or functional foods for glycemic control in patients with T2DM, which should be investigated further. © 2023 Center for Food and Biomolecules, National Taiwan University

Background: Inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain 4 (ITIH4), a Type 2 acute phase protein, is critical for resolving inflammation and promoting tissue repair. While its role in chronic respiratory diseases is recognized, its effects on asthma remain unclear. This study investigated the effects of ITIH4 on the modulation of lung and gut microbiota, the attenuation of allergic inflammation, and the improvement of respiratory outcomes in an asthma mouse model. Methods: Six-week-old male Balb/c mice were divided into five groups: control, ITIH4, ovalbumin (OVA), and two OVA + ITIH4 treatment groups at different doses. Lung function and oxygen saturation were measured, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was analyzed for white blood cell counts and cytokines. Lung and gut microbiota were profiled using 16 S rRNA gene sequencing, and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) were measured using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Proteomic profiling of intestinal tissues was conducted to identify ITIH4-associated signaling pathways. Results: ITIH4 administration significantly mitigated OVA-induced asthma symptoms by reducing weight loss, airway resistance, and tissue damping (p < 0.05). Histological analysis showed decreased airway wall thickening and lung injury scores (p < 0.05). ITIH4 also lowered BALF eosinophils and lymphocytes, IgE, and Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13) (p < 0.05). ITIH4 treatment modulated microbiome composition, enriching Gram-positive taxa (Nocardioidaceae and Acholeplasmataceae) and depleting Gram-negative Helicobacteraceae (p < 0.05). SCFAs correlated with microbiome alterations, notably reduced 4-methylpentanoic acid levels (p < 0.05). Proteomic analysis revealed a dose-dependent activation of granzyme A signaling and suppression of metabolic and solute transport pathways. Conclusions: ITIH4 ameliorates asthma symptoms by modulating lung and gut microbiota, dampening Th2-driven inflammation, and restoring mucosal immune balance. Th

Kirsten rat sarcoma virus (KRAS) signaling drives pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) malignancy, which is an unmet clinical need. Here, we identify a disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain (ADAM)9 as a modulator of PDAC progression via stabilization of wild-type and mutant KRAS proteins. Mechanistically, ADAM9 loss increases the interaction of KRAS with plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), which functions as a selective autophagy receptor in conjunction with light chain 3 (LC3), triggering lysosomal degradation of KRAS. Suppression of ADAM9 by a small-molecule inhibitor restricts disease progression in spontaneous models, and combination with gemcitabine elicits dramatic regression of patient-derived tumors. Our findings provide a promising strategy to target the KRAS signaling cascade and demonstrate a potential modality to enhance sensitivity to chemotherapy in PDAC. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature America, Inc. 2024.

Calculation of intravoxel incoherent motion parameter maps using a kernelized total difference-based method

引用

NMR in Biomedicine 2024年第10期37卷 e5201页

Quantitative analysis of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) has been explored for many clinical applications since its development. In particular, the intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) model for DW-MRI has been commonly utilized in various organs. However, because of the presence of excessive noise, the IVIM parameter maps obtained from pixel-wise fitting are often unreliable. In this study, we propose a kernelized total difference-based curve-fitting method to estimate the IVIM parameters. Simulated DW-MRI data at five signal-to-noise ratios (i.e., 10, 20, 30, 50, and 100) and real abdominal DW-MRI data acquired on a 1.5-T MRI scanner with nine b-values (i.e., 0, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 s/mm2) and six diffusion-encoding gradient directions were used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The results were compared with those obtained by three existing methods: trust-region reflective (TRR) algorithm, Bayesian probability (BP), and deep neural network (DNN). Our simulation results showed that the proposed method outperformed the other three comparing methods in terms of root-mean-square error. Moreover, the proposed method could preserve small details in the estimated IVIM parameter maps. The experimental results showed that, compared with the TRR method, the proposed method as well as the BP (and DNN) method could reduce the overestimation of the pseudodiffusion coefficient and improve the quality of IVIM parameter maps. For all studied abdominal organs except the pancreas, both the proposed method and the BP method could provide IVIM parameter estimates close to the reference values;the former had higher precision. The kernelized total difference-based curve-fitting method has the potential to improve the reliability of IVIM parametric imaging. © 2024 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

The objective of this paper is to identify the stresses placed on the musculoskeletal system when small dogs walk on floors with low friction coefficients. In many households, and small dogs in particular are often kept indoors. According to veterinary experience, it is known that small dogs kept indoors that walk with their lower limbs slipping cause a great deal of stress on the musculoskeletal system, and that the incidence of joint disease in the lower limbs of such small dogs is high. In this study, we measured the body movements of small dogs walking on slippery floors using a three-dimensional motion capture system and force plate system. Furthermore, by inputting these measurements into the musculoskeletal simulation model we have developed to simulate the musculoskeletal system of dogs, we derived the load on the musculoskeletal system of small dogs on slippery and non-slippery floors. As a result, it was identified that walking on a slippery floor causes a strong load on the lower limb muscles of small dogs. © 2025 IEEE.

Titanium dioxide with suitable band edges is one of promising photocatalysts for water splitting. Nanotubes with one-dimensional structure can induce efficient charge transfers and hollow centers can provide large surface area for surface reactions. Modifying Ti foils for anodization can enhance light utilization of TiO2 nanotube photoelectrodes. In this work, it is firstly to fabricate TiO2 nanotube photoelectrodes on acid-etched Ti foils by anodization (MNT) for photoelectrochemical catalyzing water splitting. Different acid-etching durations are applied on Ti foils to induce various rugged surfaces. The resulting photoelectrodes present largely enhanced light utilization than that fabricated by the pristine Ti foil. The anodization duration is also optimized to find suitable lengths of MNT. The smallest overpotential of 524.7 mV at 10 mA/cm2 and Tafel slope of 167 mV/dec are obtained for the optimal MNT photoelectrode. The TiO2 nanotubes grown on the pristine Ti foil shows the overpotential of 679.3 mV at 10 mA/cm2 and Tafel slope of 285 mV/dec. This result opens a blueprint for raising the photocatalytic ability by simply modifying the surface property of the conductive substrate. Other modifications may be applicable to enhance the roughness of Ti foils for growing more efficient MNT array as photocatalysis of water splitting. © 2023 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a pernicious disease characterized by an immunosuppressive milieu that is unresponsive to current immunotherapies. Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) is a natural anti-inflammatory cytokine;however, its contribution to cancer pathogenesis and immunosuppression remains elusive. In this research, we investigated the role and mechanism of IL-1Ra in malignant progression of PDA. Results: Through analyzing clinical dataset and examining the pathological tumor tissues and serum samples, we have demonstrated that IL-1Ra expression is elevated in human PDA and positively associated with malignant progression of PDA. To study the biological function of IL-1Ra in tumors, we generated a set of mouse pancreatic cancer cell lines with a knockout (KO) of the Il1rn gene, encoding IL-1Ra, and compared the tumor growth rates in immune-competent and immune-deficient mice. We found that the Il1rn KO cells exhibited greater tumor inhibition in immune-competent mice, highlighting the crucial role of a functional immune system in Il1rn KO-mediated anti-tumor response. Consistently, we found an increase in CD8⁺ T cells and a decrease in CD11b⁺Ly6G⁻ immunosuppressive mononuclear population in the tumor microenvironment of Il1rn KO-derived tumors. To monitor the inhibitory effects of IL-1Ra on immune cells, we utilized a luciferase-based reporter CD4⁺ T cell line and splenocytes, which were derived from transgenic mice expressing ovalbumin-specific T cell receptors in CD8⁺ T cells, and mice immunized with ovalbumin. We showed that IL-1Ra suppressed T cell receptor signaling and inhibited antigen-specific interferon-γ (IFN-γ) secretion and cytolytic activity in splenocytes. Conclusions: Our findings illustrate the immunosuppressive properties of the natural anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-1Ra, and provide a rationale for considering IL-1Ra-targeted therapies in the treatment of

The cardiac muscle is elastic and deformable. Pushing a catheter in contact with the cardiac muscle surface to conduct focal energy-based ablative therapies, such as RF ablation, requires an adequate electrode-tissue contact surface to transfer the energy to the target site. In this regard, the relationship between the contact force (CF) and the resulting mechanical response is still unclear, in particular, the insertion depth (ID) and the diameter of the surface deformation. The objective of this study was to quantify these relationships using an ex vivo model and a computational model. A rigid bar with a 2.3 mm diameter blunt tip (mimicking a 7Fr standard ablation catheter) was placed at a perpendicular orientation on a fragment of the porcine heart. CF values ranged from 10 to 80g. We used ANSYS to build a Mooney-Rivlig model of 3 parameters based on hyperelastic material and to simulate the same conditions as in the experiments. The experimental results showed a strong linear correlation between CF and insertion depth ID ($\mathrm{R}^{2}=0.97, \mathrm{P} © 2023 IEEE.

Physicochemical properties of nanoparticles are important in regulating nanoparticle toxicity;however, the contribution of nanoparticle charge remains unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the pulmonary effects of inhalation of charged soot nanoparticles. We established a stably charged nanoparticle generation system for whole-body exposure in BALB/c mice, which produced positively charged, negatively charged, and neutral soot nanoparticles in a wide range of concentrations. After a 7-day exposure, pulmonary toxicity was assessed, together with proteomics analysis. The charged soot nanoparticles on average carried 1.17–1.35 electric charges, and the sizes for nanoparticles under different charging conditions were all fixed at 69 ~ 72 nm. We observed that charged soot nanoparticles induced cytotoxic LDH and increased lung permeability, with the release of 8-isoprostane and caspase-3 and systemic IL-6 in mice, especially for positively charged soot nanoparticles. Next, we observed that positive-charged soot nanoparticles upregulated Eif2, Eif4, sirtuin, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR), and HIPPO-related signaling pathways in the lungs compared with negatively charged soot nanoparticles. HIF1α, sirt1, E-cadherin, and Yap were increased in mice’s lungs by positively charged soot nanoparticle exposure. In conclusion, carbonaceous nanoparticles carrying electric ions, especially positive-charged, are particularly toxic when inhaled and should be of concern in terms of pulmonary health protection. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.
