This coincided with less extensive ferroptosis, a main cause of folic acid-induced AKI. Moreover, icDKO mice were more resistant to folic acid-induced AKI and ferroptosis as compared with single-gene knockout mice. Supporting this, targeting Rev-erb-α/β by SR8278 attenuated ferroptosis to ameliorate folic acid-induced AKI in mice. Rev-erb-α/β promoted ferroptosis by repressing the transcription of Slc7a11 and HO1 (two ferroptosis-inhibitory genes) via direct binding to a RORE cis-element.

Targeted inhibition of Rev-erb-α/β limits ferroptosis to ameliorate folic acid-induced AKI in mice. The findings may have implications for improved understanding of circadian clock-controlled ferroptosis and for formulating new strategies to treat AKI.

Tooth eruption is a complicated process regulated by the dental follicles (DF). Our recent study discovered that tooth eruption was inhibited upon injection of bleomycin into DF. However, the mechanisms were unknown.

Human dental follicle cells (hDFCs) were treated by bleomycin or exogenous TGF-β1 or transfected by plasmids loading SMAD7 or shRNA targeting SMAD7, followed by osteogenesis induction assay and signalling analysis. Human fresh DF tissues and Wistar rats were used to further confirm bleomycin function.

Bleomycin decreased expression of RUNX2 and osteogenic genes in hDFCs, reducing osteogenic capacity. TGF-β1 expression was up-regulated in bleomycin-treated hDFCs. BRM/BRG1 ATP Inhibitor-1 in vivo of exogenous TGF-β1 were similar to those of bleomycin in hDFCs. Additionally, compared to SMAD2/3, SMAD7 expression increased more in bleomycin- or TGF-β1-treated hDFCs. Overexpression of SMAD7 likewise significantly decreased RUNX2 expression and osteogenic capacity of hDFCs. Knockdown of SMAD7 markedly attenuated the inhibitory effects of bleomycin and TGF-β1 on osteogenic capacity and RUNX2 expression of hDFCs. Most importantly, changes in TGF-β1, SMAD7, and RUNX2 expressions were similar in the DF of rats and humans treated with bleomycin.

SMAD7 was a negative regulator of osteogenic differentiation in DFCs through suppressing RUNX2 expression. Bleomycin or TGF-β1 inhibited osteogenic differentiation of DFCs via a TGF-β1/SMAD7/RUNX2 pathway. Our findings might be beneficial for enhancing the osteogenic activity of DFCs or inhibiting the eruption of undesirable teeth.

To assess the effectiveness of antibiotic treatment in patients with amniotic fluid (AF) "sludge" during the second or third trimester with uterine contractions and intact membranes.

A retrospective cohort study was conducted of women at 15-32weeks of pregnancy with uterine contractions and intact membranes. Women with AF "sludge" were treated with an antibiotic regimen of ceftriaxone, clarithromycin, and metronidazole. Based on changes in AF "sludge," patients were divided into group A (disappearance of "sludge") and group B (persistent "sludge").

Women in group A (n=30) delivered later than those in group B (n=28). Group A showed a smaller initial size of "sludge" than group B (all P<0.05). Women in group A had a lower rate of preterm birth within 7days, and before 28, 32, and 34weeks of pregnancy, and composite neonatal morbidity and perinatal death than group B (all P<0.05).

The administration of antibiotics may eradicate AF "sludge" in women in the second or third trimester with uterine contractions and intact membranes, which are associated with the initial size of "sludge." Patients with disappearing "sludge" had more favorable pregnancy and neonatal outcomes than those with persistent "sludge."

Anthocyanins were extracted from grape skins by a combination of ethanolic-ultrasonic assisted methods and were then encapsulated by freeze-drying in soy phosphatidylcholine vesicles with the addition of different polymers, such as pectin, acacia gum, and whey protein isolate. The goal of this research was to microencapsulate anthocyanin compounds extracted from grape skins, to characterize the stability and behavior of the vesicles and then to use them to obtain a new light formulated mayonnaise.

The particle size ranged from 900 nm in the control condition to 250 nm in vesicles loaded with whey proteins. The powders showed higher encapsulation efficiency for all variants, ranging from 81 to 96%. Vibrational spectroscopy revealed better inclusion of anthocyanins in polysaccharide-based coacervates, whereas in protein-based coacervates a possible interaction of anthocyanins with amine groups was observed. The vesicles were tested for in vitro release, and the results confirmed the gradual release of the anthocyanins in both stages of digestion, with a residual content of about 50% in the vesicles. The powders displayed high stability during storage in the dark at 4 °C. The panelists appreciated the new light formulated mayonnaises enriched with 10% dried vesicles compared with the control sample, in particular samples with acacia gum.

The study revealed that polymer-loaded vesicles presented stability in simulated gastrointestinal fluids and have proved successful in obtaining new light enriched mayonnaises. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.
