An unexpected observation among the COVID-19 pandemic is that smokers constituted only 1.4%-18.5% of hospitalized adults, calling for an urgent investigation to determine the role of smoking in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Here, we show that cigarette smoke extract (CSE) and carcinogen benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) increase ACE2 mRNA but trigger ACE2 protein catabolism. BaP induces an aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-dependent upregulation of the ubiquitin E3 ligase Skp2 for ACE2 ubiquitination. ACE2 in lung tissues of non-smokers is higher than in smokers, consistent with the findings that tobacco carcinogens downregulate ACE2 in mice. Tobacco carcinogens inhibit SARS-CoV-2 spike protein pseudovirions infection of the cells. Given that tobacco smoke accounts for 8 million deaths including 2.1 million cancer deaths annually and Skp2 is an oncoprotein, tobacco use should not be recommended and cessation plan should be prepared for smokers in COVID-19 pandemic.Major depressive disorder (MDD) causes great decrements in health and quality of life with increments in healthcare costs, but the causes and pathogenesis of depression remain largely unknown, which greatly prevent its early detection and effective treatment. With the advancement of neuroimaging approaches, numerous functional and structural alterations in the brain have been detected in MDD and more recently attempts have been made to apply these findings to clinical practice. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/gpr84-antagonist-8.html In this review, we provide an updated summary of the progress in translational application of psychoradiological findings in MDD with a specified focus on potential clinical usage. The foreseeable clinical applications for different MRI modalities were introduced according to their role in disorder classification, subtyping, and prediction. While evidence of cerebral structural and functional changes associated with MDD classification and subtyping was heterogeneous and/or sparse, the ACC and hippocampus have been consistently suggested to be important biomarkers in predicting treatment selection and treatment response. These findings underlined the potential utility of brain biomarkers for clinical practice. This Delphi study aims to provide evidence-based expert opinion on the usage and current position of gliclazide in type2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management in India. The single interaction modified Delphi-based methodology was used to collect opinions on gliclazide usage and its position in diabetes management from 338 endocrinologists/diabetologists who have had clinical experience with gliclazide. Participants, using a 9-point scale, were asked to rate eight statements comprising a total of 52 items on the related topics. The Delphi consensus suggests that in drug-naïve patients with T2DM, intolerant to metformin or in whom metformin is contraindicated, dual therapy of gliclazide/gliclazide-modified release (MR) should be considered along with a dipeptidyl peptidase4 (DPP4) inhibitor if glycated hemoglobinA1c level is greater than 7.5% and with insulin if the A1c level is greater than 9%. If the patients are inadequately controlled with metformin (A1c greater than 6.5% after 3months of therapy), glicth T2DM because of its efficacy, long-term glycemic control, favorable renal outcomes, cardiovascular safety, and an optimal safety profile.The endogenous repair failure of degenerated intervertebral disk (IVD) is highly related to the exhaustion of nucleus pulposus stem cells (NPSCs). Excessive oxidative stress could induce apoptosis and senescence of NPSCs, thus, declining the quantity and quality of NPSCs. Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is a family of cytoprotective and antioxidative proteins. However, there is no report on the protective effects of HSP70 on oxidative stress-induced NPSC impairments and underlying mechanisms. In the present study, we treated NPSCs with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP) in vitro to simulate an oxidative stress condition. HSP70 inducer TRC051384 was used to evaluate the cytoprotective effects of HSP70. The results suggested that HSP70 impeded t-BHP-mediated cell viability loss and protected the ultrastructure of NPSCs. Moreover, t-BHP could induce mitochondrial apoptosis and p53/p21-mediated senescence of NPSCs, both of which were significantly inhibited in HSP70 activation groups. Excessive oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction reinforced each other and contributed to the cellular damage processes. HSP70 decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, rescued mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) collapse, and blocked ATP depletion. Finally, our data showed that HSP70 downregulated the JNK/c-Jun pathway. Taken together, activation of HSP70 could protect against t-BHP-induced NPSC apoptosis and senescence, thus, improving the quantity and quality of NPSCs. Therefore, HSP70 may be a promising therapeutic target for IVD degeneration.Previously, we have reported that the coronary reactive hyperemic response was reduced in adenosine A2A receptor-null (A2AAR-/-) mice, and it was reversed by the soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitor. However, it is unknown in aortic vascular response, therefore, we hypothesized that A2AAR-gene deletion in mice (A2AAR-/-) affects adenosine-induced vascular response by increase in sEH and adenosine A1 receptor (A1AR) activities. A2AAR-/- mice showed an increase in sEH, AI AR and CYP450-4A protein expression but decrease in CYP450-2C compared to C57Bl/6 mice. NECA (adenosine-analog) and CCPA (adenosine A1 receptor-agonist)-induced dose-dependent vascular response was tested with t-AUCB (sEH-inhibitor) and angiotensin-II (Ang-II) in A2AAR-/- vs. C57Bl/6 mice. In A2AAR-/-, NECA and CCPA-induced increase in dose-dependent vasoconstriction compared to C57Bl/6 mice. However, NECA and CCPA-induced dose-dependent vascular contraction in A2AAR-/- was reduced by t-AUCB with NECA. Similarly, dose-dependent vascular contraction in A2AAR-/- was reduced by t-AUCB with CCPA. In addition, Ang-II enhanced NECA and CCPA-induced dose-dependent vascular contraction in A2AAR-/- with NECA. Similarly, the dose-dependent vascular contraction in A2AAR-/- was also enhanced by Ang-II with CCPA. Further, t-AUCB reduced Ang-II-enhanced NECA and CCPA-induced dose-dependent vascular contraction in A2AAR-/- mice. Our data suggest that the dose-dependent vascular contraction in A2AAR-/- mice depends on increase in sEH, A1AR and CYP4A protein expression.
