Glycyrrhizic Acid Promotes M1 Macrophage Polarization in Murine Bone Marrow-Derived Macrophages Associated with the Activation of JNK and NF-κB by Yulong Mao, Baikui Wang, Xin Xu, Wei Du, Weifen Li, Youming Wang

“…Moreover, we demonstrated that JNK and NF-κB activation are required for GA-induced NO and M1-related cytokines production, while ERK1/2 pathway exhibits a regulatory effect via induction of IL-10. Together, these findings indicated that GA promoted polarization of M1 macrophages and enhanced its phagocytosis and bactericidal capacity. …”

Ouabain Modulates Zymosan-Induced Peritonitis in Mice by Jacqueline Alves Leite, Anne Kaliery De Abreu Alves, José Guilherme Marques Galvão, Mariana Pires Teixeira, Luiz Henrique Agra Cavalcante-Silva, Cristoforo Scavone, Alexandre Morrot, Vivian Mary Rumjanek, Sandra Rodrigues-Mascarenhas

“…Our results show that ouabain decreased plasma exudation (33%). After induction of inflammation, OUA treatment led to a 46% reduction in the total number of cells, as a reflex of a decrease of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, which does not appear to be due to cell death. …”

Genome-Wide Study of Plant-Specific PLATZ Transcription Factors and Functional Analysis of <i>OsPLATZ1</i> in Regulating Caryopsis Development of Rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i> L.) by Tao Yang, Xin-Tong Xu, Li-Jun Tang, Wen-Tao Wei, Yuan-Yuan Zhao, Jin-Xin Liu, Xue-Feng Yao, Heng Zhao, Chun-Ming Liu, Ai-Ning Bai

“…The expression profile and qRT-PCR results showed that <i>OsPLATZs</i> had distinct expression patterns in different tissues, with some responding to stress induction. Most of the OsPLATZs localized to the nuclei, and were predicted to bind to DNA sequences by AlphaFold3, suggesting that they likely function as conventional transcription factors. …”

MCP-1-Induced Histamine Release from Mast Cells Is Associated with Development of Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome in Rat Models by Jianwei Lv, Yiran Huang, Shiguo Zhu, Ganggang Yang, Yujian Zhang, Jing Leng, Juanjie Bo, Dongming Liu

“…Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is characterized by overexpression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in bladder tissues and induction of mast cell (MC) degranulation. This study was undertaken to explore the mechanism of action of MCP-1 in the development of IC/BPS. …”
