An imbalance in the macrophage phenotype is closely related to various inflammatory diseases. Here, we discovered that gypenoside LXXV (GP-75), a type of saponin from Gynostemma pentaphyllum, can reprogram M1-like macrophages into M2-like ones. On a mechanistic level, GP-75 inhibits NF-κB-COX2 signaling by targeting the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Administration of GP-75, either orally or by intraperitoneal

In this paper, an in-depth study on Fraxinus mandshurica (FM) was conducted, focusing on the chemical constituents, in vitro and in vivo antioxidant activities of flavonoids, acute oral toxicity testing, network pharmacology, and molecular docking in the leaves of FM. The in vitro antioxidant results revealed that the total flavonoid extract (TFE), kaempferol, quercetin, and rutin exhibited similar

Mechanical stimuli can affect plant growth, development, and defenses. The role of water spray stimulation, as a prevalent mechanical stimulus in the environment, in crop growth and defense cannot be overlooked. In this study, the effects of water spray on tomato plant growth and defense against the chewing herbivore Helicoverpa armigera and necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea were investigated. Suprathreshold

The potential threat of cadmium (Cd)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is increasing. In this study, our primary goal was to investigate the individual roles played by mTOR complexes, specifically mTORC1 and mTORC2, in Cd-induced apoptosis in mouse kidney cells. We constructed a mouse model with specific deletion of Raptor/Rictor renal cells. Inhibitors and activators of mTORC1 or mTORC2 were also
