    Article Title: Cardiomyocyte OTUD7b drives diabetic cardiomyopathy via deubiquitinating and stabilizing TAK1.
    Article Snippet: Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) are critically involved in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), yet the function of OTU domaincontaining protein 7B (OTUD7b), a recently identified DUB, in DCM remains unknown.. Here, we identified that OTUD7b expression was significantly elevated in cardiomyocytes from both type 1 and type 2 diabetic mouse hearts.. Cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of OTUD7b ameliorated cardiac dysfunction, hypertrophy, and fibrosis in diabetic mice, without affecting systemic hyperglycemia.

    Article Snippet: Background: The excessive release of inflammatory mediators in mast cells is considered a core link in the progression of Chronic spontaneous Urticaria (CSU).. Exosomes are nanosized membrane-bound fluid vesicles in the body that can induce immune dysfunction and impact disease progression.. This study aims to explore the critical role of exosomes derived from plasma of patients in the progression of CSU.

    Article Snippet: This study investigates the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of Guomin decoction (GMJ) on atopic dermatitis (AD).. Animal and cellular experiments revealed that GMJ reduces ear swelling and collagen loss in AD-affected mice, modulates inflammatory factors, and inhibits M1 polarization while promoting M2 polarization.. Mechanistic studies indicate that GMJ restores the M1/M2 balance in macrophages by dual regulation of the MAPK/NF-κB and JAK-STAT pathways, thereby improving AD.

(A,C) Volcano plots showing differentially abundant metabolites (A) and lipid species (C) in hippocampal samples from KA2W‐Bex and KA2W‐Veh mice in POS. Red and blue dots indicate higher‐ and lower‐abundance features, respectively, in the Bex group relative to the Veh group; dot size indicates the VIP score. (B) KEGG over‐representation analysis of downregulated metabolites in KA2W‐Bex vs. KA2W‐Veh hippocampi. Upregulated and downregulated metabolites were analyzed separately; the upregulated set was not displayed because only five metabolites had KEGG annotations, providing too few annotated features for an informative pathway analysis. Dot size indicates the number of mapped metabolites. Color encodes −log 10 ( q ), where q is the Benjamini–Hochberg‐adjusted p value; q values are labeled beside the points. (D) KEGG over‐representation analyses of upregulated and downregulated lipid species in KA2W‐Bex vs. KA2W‐Veh hippocampi. Dot size indicates the number of mapped lipid species. Color encodes −log 10 ( q ), where q is the Benjamini–Hochberg‐adjusted p value; q values are labeled beside the points. (E) Lollipop plots showing the top 20 lipid species with the largest absolute log2 fold change in each direction.

Yellow dashed circles indicate the regions shown at higher magnification, and yellow arrowheads indicate LDs. Scale bars: 5 µm (main panels), 500 nm (magnified insets). Data are presented as mean ± SD. Panels A‐E, G–I and K–M, n = 3 mice per group. Panels N and O, n = 4 mice per group. Protein‐expression data (G–I, K, and M) were analyzed by two‐way ANOVA followed by Sidak's multiple‐comparisons test. TEM data (N,O) were analyzed using the two‐sided Mann–Whitney U test. * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01. Numbers above bars indicate exact non‐significant P values. For panels A–E and N–Q, data were obtained from the early post‐SE intervention cohort.

Upregulated and downregulated metabolites were analyzed separately; the upregulated set was not displayed because only five metabolites had KEGG annotations, providing too few annotated features for an informative pathway analysis. Dot size indicates the number of mapped metabolites. Color encodes −log 10 ( q ), where q is the Benjamini–Hochberg‐adjusted p value; q values are labeled beside the points. (D) KEGG over‐representation analyses of upregulated and downregulated lipid species in KA2W‐Bex vs. KA2W‐Veh hippocampi. Dot size indicates the number of mapped lipid species. Color encodes −log 10 ( q ), where q is the Benjamini–Hochberg‐adjusted p value; q values are labeled beside the points. (E) Lollipop plots showing the top 20 lipid species with the largest absolute log2 fold change in each direction. Red and blue indicate increased and decreased lipid species, respectively, in the Bex group; dot size represents the VIP score. (F–I) Western blot analysis (F) and quantification of ABCA1 (G), APOE (H) and MERTK protein levels normalized to β‐Tubulin in KA‐induced mice with/without Bex treatment at 2 and 8 weeks post‐SE. (J,K) Western blot analysis (J) and quantification of phosphorylated p38 (p‐p38) relative to total p38 protein levels (K), normalized to β‐Tubulin, in KA‐induced mice with or without Bex treatment at 2 and 8 weeks post‐SE. (L,M) Western blot analysis (L) and quantification of phosphorylated Erk1/2 (p‐Erk1/2) relative to total Erk1/2 protein levels (M), normalized to β‐Tubulin, in KA‐induced mice with or without Bex treatment at 2 and 8 weeks post‐SE. (N,O) Quantification of the mean total LD area per TEM image in neuronal (N) and astrocytic (O) within the hippocampal hilus of KA2W‐Veh and KA2W‐Bex groups. (P,Q) Representative TEM images of neurons (P) and astrocytes (Q) with corresponding magnified views. Yellow dashed circles indicate the regions shown at higher magnification, and yellow arrowheads indicate LDs. Scale bars: 5 µm (main panels), 500 nm (magnified insets). Data are presented as mean ± SD. Panels A‐E, G–I and K–M, n = 3 mice per group. Panels N and O, n = 4 mice per group. Protein‐expression data (G–I, K, and M) were analyzed by two‐way ANOVA followed by Sidak's multiple‐comparisons test. TEM data (N,O) were analyzed using the two‐sided Mann–Whitney U test. * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01. Numbers above bars indicate exact non‐significant P values. For panels A–E and N–Q, data were obtained from the early post‐SE intervention cohort. Mice received Bex or matched Veh once daily for 7 consecutive days beginning 1 week after KA‐induced SE, and hippocampal tissues were collected at 2 weeks post‐SE. POS, positive‐ion mode; Veh, vehicle; Bex, bexarotene.
