Rack1-mediated ferroptosis affects hindgut development in rats with anorectal malformations: Spatial transcriptome insights.

Anorectal malformation (ARM), a common congenital anomaly of the digestive tract, is a result of insufficient elongation of the urorectal se … resulting in elevated intracellular levels of ferrous ions, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxides. Downregulation of Gpx4 expression in the ARM hindgut, coupled with Rack1 co-localisation and consistent mitochondrial morphology, indicated ferroptosis. In summary, Rack1, acting as a hub gene, modulates ferrous ions, lipid peroxides, and ROS via t …

Ferroptosis in life: To be or not to be.

Ferroptosis is a novel type of programmed cell death, characterized by a dysregulated iron metabolism and accumulation of lipid peroxides. It features the alteration of mitochondria and aberrant accumulation of excessive iron as well as loss of the cysteine-glutathione-GPX4 axis. Eventually, the accumulated lipid peroxides result in lethal damage to the cells. Ferroptosis is induced by the overloading of iron and the accumulation of ROS and can be inhibited by the activation of the GPX4 pathway, FS1-CoQ10 pathway, GCH1-BH4 pathway, and the DHODH pathway, it is also regulated by the oncogenes a…

Contact allergenic activity of Tween 80 before and after air exposure.

Tween 80 is an ethoxylated hydrophilic non-ionic surfactant, which is used for the preparation of oil-in-water emulsions in pharmaceutical products, cosmetics, and industrial detergents. Ethoxylated surfactants are polyethers and are thus easily oxidized by atmospheric oxygen to a variety of hydroperoxides, peroxides and carbonyl compounds. The aim was to investigate the formation of oxidation products and the allergenic potential of Tween 80 before and after air exposure. The formation of peroxides and formaldehyde was followed with chemical analyses during air and pure oxygen exposure of wat…

Cross-sectional Pilot Study of Antibiotic Resistance in Propionibacterium Acnes Strains in Indian Acne Patients Using 16S-RNA Polymerase Chain Reaction: A Comparison Among Treatment Modalities Including Antibiotics, Benzoyl Peroxide, and Isotretinoin.

BACKGROUND: Antibiotic resistance is a worldwide problem in acne patients due to regional prescription practices, patient compliance, and genomic variability in Propionibacterium acnes, though the effect of treatment on the resistance has not been comprehensively analyzed. AIMS: Our primary objective was to assess the level of antibiotic resistance in the Indian patients and to assess whether there was a difference in the resistance across common treatment groups. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional, institutional based study was undertaken and three groups of patients were analyzed, tre

Ориентация на зависящий от GPX4 ферроптоз естественными соединениями в множестве склерозов.

Множественный склероз (MS) — аутоиммунное, разнородное, многофакторное дегенеративное заболевание центральной нервной системы под влиянием генетики и окружающей среды. Ферроптоз, зависящий от железа пероксидация липидов/реактивный кислород, вызванный запрограммированными клетками, усугубляет патологию MS. Глутатион пероксидаза 4 (GPX4) регулирует ферроптоз путем очистки пероксидов для поддержания клеток. Обнадеживающим методом лечения MS является целевое лечение ферроптоза с помощью GPX4, особенно с помощью безопасных, мощных природных соединений. В этом обзоре анализируется роль ГПХ4-зависимо

[Free-radical oxidation of blood plasma lipids in patients with acute intestinal infections].

Blood plasma free radical lipid oxidation was studied in 98 patients with acute dysentery (AD) and 64 patients with food toxinfection (FTI). Free radical lipid oxidation was assessed by the intensity of chemiluminescence and the level of lipid peroxides. Activation of blood plasma lipid peroxidation was established with relation to a clinical variant of the disease. The effect of indomethacin on the parameters of free radical lipid oxidation was noted in patients with AD and FTI.

Concepts of oxidative stress and antioxidant defense in Crohn's disease.

Oxygen free radical and lipid peroxides (oxidative stress) are highly reactive and represent very damaging compounds. Oxidative stress could be a major contributing factor to the tissue injury and fibrosis that characterize Crohn's disease. An imbalance between increased reactive oxygen species levels and decreased antioxidant defenses occurs in Crohn's patients. Decreased blood levels of vitamins C and E and decreased intestinal mucosal levels of CuZn superoxide dismutase, glutathione, vitamin A, C, E, and β-carotene have been reported for Crohn's patients. Increased levels of proinflammatory…

The influence of heroin abuse on glutathione-dependent enzymes in human brain.

Heroin is an illicit narcotic abused by millions of people worldwide. In our earlier studies we have shown that heroin intoxication changes the antioxidant status in human brain. In the present work we continued our studies by estimating the effect of heroin abuse on reduced glutathione (GSH) and enzymes related to this cofactor, such as glutathione S-transferase detoxifying electrophilics (GST) and organic peroxides (as Se-independent glutathione peroxidase-GSHPx), and Se-dependent glutathione peroxidase (Se-GSHPx) specific mainly for hydrogen peroxide. Studies were conducted on human brains …

NTP technical report on the toxicity studies of Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide (CAS No. 1338-23-4) in Dimethyl Phthalate (CAS No. 131-11-3) (45:55) Administered Topically in F344/N Rats and B6C3F1 Mice.

Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) is an unstable organic peroxide used in the manufacture of acrylic resins, as a hardening agent for fiberglass-reinforced plastics, and as a curing agent for unsaturated polyester resins. It is commercially available as a 40% to 60% solution in dimethyl phthalate (DMP). Because exposure to MEKP is typically through dermal contact, 2-week and 13-week toxicity studies were conducted by topical application of MEKP in DMP (45:55 w/w) to the clipped dorsal region of male and female Fischer 344/N rats and mice. Animals were evaluated for histopathology and for rep
