| 1 | Chromobox homolog 4 overexpression inhibits TNF-α-induced matrix catabolism and senescence by suppressing activation of NF-κB signaling pathway in nucleus pulposus cells显示文摘Intervertebral disc degeneration(IDD)is featured as enhanced catabolism of extracellular matrix(ECM)in the nucleus pulposus(NP),in which tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α)-related cell senescence is involved.Chromobox homolog protein 4(CBX4)exhibits anti-inflammatory effects and shows promising therapeutic potential.Thus,in the present study,we explore the role of CBX4 in IDD.Immunohistochemistry staining reveals that CBX4 expression is decreased in severe degenerative NP tissues compared to mild degenerative tissues,and real-time PCR and western blot analysis results show that CBX4 expression is downregulated under TNF-αstimulation in NP cells.siRNA and adenoviruses are used to knockdown or overexpress CBX4,respectively.The results demonstrate that CBX4 knockdown augments the catabolism of ECM in human NP cells,while CBX4 overexpression in rat NP cells restores the ECM degradation induced by TNF-α,as illustrated by immunofluorescence and western blot analysis.In addition,transcriptome sequencing results reveal the regulatory effect of CBX4 on the cell cycle,and further western blot analysis and senescence-associatedβ-galactosidase staining assay indicate that CBX4 overexpression alleviates cell senescence in the presence of TNF-α.Moreover,the phosphorylation of p65,which indicates the activation of NF-κB signaling,is measured by western blot analysis and immunofluorescence assay,and the results reveal that CBX4 overexpression reduces the TNF-α-induced increase in the p-p65/p65 ratio.In addition,the effect of CBX4 overexpression in NP cells is suppressed by NF-κB agonist.In summary,our results indicate that CBX4 overexpression can suppress TNF-α-induced matrix catabolism and cell senescence in the NP by inhibiting NF-κB activation.This study may provide new approaches for preventing and treating IDD. | Yangyang Zhang Shuangxing Li Junmin Hong Jiansen Yan Zhengqi Huang Jiajun Wu Zhihuai Deng Tianyu Qin Kang Xu Wei Ye | 2022 | Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica2022，54，7： | 2 |
| 2 | A Supersonic Aerodynamic Energy Harvester:A Functionally Graded Material Beam with a Giant Magnetostrictive Thin Film显示文摘In this study,a simply supported functionally graded material beam with a giant magnetostrictive thin film(GMF)was selected as an energy harvester.Based on the theory of large deformation and the Villari effect of GMF,piston theory was used to simulate the dynamic equation of the whole structure under supersonic aerodynamic pressure and in a thermal environment by using Hamilton^principle,and the energy harvesting effect of GMF was simulated by using a Runge-Kutta algorithm.Below the critical flutter velocity,the maximum voltage output and energy harvesting results were discussed as they were affected by external factors such as the geometric model of structure parameters,slenderness ratio,gradient index,number of turns of an electromagnetic coil,airflow velocity,and temperature.The electromechanical coupling coefficient/C33 was 71%.The results show that this proposed harvester can achieve an optimal harvesting effect by adjusting the parameters appropriately,and collect energy in thermal and supersonic environments using the GMF,which provides power to sensors of the health monitoring system of the aircraft’s own structure. | Zhengqi Qin Weijiao Chen Jian Zang Yewei Zhang | 2022 | Acta Mechanica Solida Sinica2022，35，1： | 0 |
| 3 | Rosuvastatin suppresses TNF-α-induced matrix catabolism,pyroptosis and senescence via the HMGB1/NF-κB signaling pathway in nucleus pulposus cells显示文摘Intervertebral disc degeneration is mainly caused by irregular matrix metabolism in nucleus pulposus cells and involves inflammatory factors such as TNF-α.Rosuvastatin,which is widely used in the clinic to reduce cholesterol levels,exerts anti-inflammatory effects,but whether rosuvastatin participates in IDD remains unclear.The current study aims to investigate the regulatory effect of rosuvastatin on IDD and the potential mechanism.In vitro experiments demonstrate that rosuvastatin promotes matrix anabolism and suppresses catabolism in response to TNF-αstimulation.In addition,rosuvastatin inhibits cell pyroptosis and senescence induced by TNF-α.These results demonstrate the therapeutic effect of rosuvastatin on IDD.We further find that HMGB1,a gene closely related to cholesterol metabolism and the inflammatory response,is upregulated in response to TNF-αstimulation.HMGB1 inhibition or knockdown successfully alleviates TNF-α-induced ECM degradation,senescence and pyroptosis.Subsequently,we find that HMGB1 is regulated by rosuvastatin and that its overexpression abrogates the protective effect of rosuvastatin.We then verify that the NF-κB pathway is the underlying pathway regulated by rosuvastatin and HMGB1.In vivo experiments also reveal that rosuvastatin inhibits IDD progression by alleviating pyroptosis and senescence and downregulating HMGB1 and p65.This study might provide new insight into therapeutic strategies for IDD. | Weijian Chen Zhihuai Deng Jianxiong Zhu Liang Yuan Shuangxing Li Yangyang Zhang Jiajun Wu Zhengqi Huang Tianyu Qin Wei Ye | 2023 | Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica2023，55，5： | 0 |
