Exercise enhances physical performance and reduces the risk of many disorders such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, dementia and cancer. Exercise characteristically incites an inflammatory response, notably in skeletal muscles. While some effector mechanisms have been identified, regul...
Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is specifically expressed in the liver and has crucial effects on various liver diseases. The functions and mechanisms underlying of PON1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain obscure. Here, we show that PON1 acts as a metabolic regulator to mitigate regulatory T (Treg) ce...
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) expand during Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection and suppress T cell mediated control. Whether Mtb actively contributes to this process is unclear. Here, using a genome-wide mutant library, we show that expression of Mtb Rv1272c, an ATP-binding cassette transpor...
BACKGROUND: Traditional Chinese medicine has used Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn (Apiaceae) for a long time. Various coumarins, including the significant root constituents Praeruptorin (A-E), are the active constituents of the dried roots of P. praeruptorum. Previous trans...
Salmonella Typhimurium establishes systemic infection by replicating in host macrophages. Here we show that macrophages infected with S. Typhimurium exhibit upregulated glycolysis and decreased serine synthesis, leading to accumulation of glycolytic intermediates. The effects on...
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with metabolic syndrome-associated steatohepatitis (MASLD) is a complex metabolic comorbidity characterized by hyperglycemia, pancreatic β-cell dysfunction, and hepatic lipid metabolism disorders, in which gut microbiota dysbiosis and abnormal PPARγ signaling play ...
By establishing a model of enteritis in mice infected with Salmonella Typhimurium, this study investigates the effects of ion concentration in drinking water on intestinal metabolites and microbiota structure in mice, as well as its influence on pathogen susceptibility and the host-patho...
