Polyphenol can improve osteoporosis and is closely associated with gut microbiota, while the mechanism and the relationship among polyphenol, osteoporosis, and gut microbiota colonization remain unclear. Here, an osteoporosis rat model established by ovariectomy was employed to investigate the improving mechanism of arecanut (Areca catechu L.) seed polyphenol (ACP) on osteoporosis by regulating gut microbiota. We analyzed the bone microstructure, Paneth cells, regulating microbial protein (lysozyme (LYZ)), proinflammatory cytokines, macrophage infiltration levels, and gut microbial communities in a rat. ACP improved the trabecular microstructure compared to OVX, including the increased trabecular number (Tb.N) (P < 0.01) and trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) (P < 0.001) and decreased trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) (P < 0.01). At the phylum level, Bacteroidetes was increased after ovariectomy (P < 0.001) and Firmicutes and Proteobacteria were increased in ACP (P < 0.001). Antiosteoporosis groups with lower LYZ and Paneth cells (P < 0.001) showed that the microbiota Alistipes, which have a negative effect on bone metabolism were decreased in ACP (P < 0.001). Altogether, these studies showed that the estrogen deficiency could induce the shedding of Paneth cells, which leads to the decrease of LYZ, while ACP could increase the LYZ expression by maintaining the population of Paneth cells in an estrogen-deficient host, which were implicated in gut microbiota regulation and improved osteoporosis by controlling the inflammatory reaction.

One of the daunting challenges facing modern medicine lies in the understanding and treatment of tumor heterogeneity. Most tumors show intra-tumor heterogeneity at both genomic and proteomic levels, with marked impacts on the responses of therapeutic targets. Therapeutic target-related gene expression pathways are affected by hypoxia and cellular stress. However, the finding that targets such as eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4E (and its phosphorylated form, p-eIF4E) are generally homogenously expressed throughout tumors, regardless of the presence of hypoxia or other cellular stress conditions, opens the exciting possibility that malignancies could be treated with therapies that combine targeting of eIF4E phosphorylation with immune checkpoint inhibitors or chemotherapy.

Beyond molecular tumor heterogeneity: protein synthesis takes control

Dendritic cells (DCs), central participants in the allergic immune response, can capture and present allergens leading to allergic inflammation in the immunopathogenesis of allergic rhinitis (AR). In addition to initiating antigen-specific immune responses, DCs induce tolerance and modulate immune homeostasis. As a special type of DCs, tolerogenic DCs (tolDCs) achieve immune tolerance mainly by suppressing effector T cell responses and inducing regulatory T cells (Tregs). TolDCs suppress allergic inflammation by modulating immune tolerance, thereby reducing symptoms of AR. Activation of the TLR4/IRAK4/NF-κB signaling pathway contributes to the release of inflammatory cytokines, and inhibitors of this signaling pathway induce the production of tolDCs to alleviate allergic inflammatory responses. This review focuses on the relationship between tolDCs and TLR4/IRAK4/NF-κB signaling pathway with AR.

RGFP966, a selective HDAC3 inhibitor, ameliorates allergic and inflammatory responses in an OVA-induced allergic rhinitis mouse model.

The alteration of mRNA translation has a crucial role in defining the changes in cellular proteome. The phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E by mitogen-activated protein kinase-interacting kinases (Mnks) leads to the release and translation of mRNAs of specific oncogenic proteins. In recent years, the efforts made by the pharmaceutical industry to develop novel chemical skeletons to create potent and selective Mnk inhibitors have been fruitful. The pyridone-aminal scaffold has been utilized to generate several series of Mnk inhibitors presented in multiple patent applications and research articles. Tomivosertib (eFT508) is one of the molecules with such scaffold. It is one of the first two Mnk inhibitors that entered clinical trials, and has displayed momentous activity against several solid and hematological cancers. The present compilation provides a succinct review of the current state of development of pyridone-aminal-derived Mnk inhibitors through the analysis of relevant patent applications filed in the last 5 years.

ObjectivesTo investigate the expression of eukaryotic initiation factor 4 E (eIF4E) in hypopharyngeal carcinoma compared with benign lesions, and the relationships between eIF4E expression and various clinicopathological parameters.MethodsExpression of eIF4E was analysed retrospectively in specimens from hypopharyngeal carcinomas and benign hypopharyngeal lesions using immunohistochemical staining and Western blotting. Tumours were classified using the tumour–node–metastasis staging system and the degree of histological differentiation was assessed.ResultsA total of 55 hypopharyngeal carcinoma and 20 benign specimens were analysed. All the hypopharyngeal carcinoma samples were positive for eIF4E expression on immunohistochemistry, whereas the benign lesions were negative or weakly positive.

Expression of eukaryotic initiation factor 4 E in hypopharyngeal carcinoma

Objectives: To investigate the expression of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) in hypopharyngeal carcinoma compared with benign lesions, and the relationships between eIF4E expression and various clinicopathological parameters. Methods: Expression of eIF4E was analysed retrospectively in specimens from hypopharyngeal carcinomas and benign hypopharyngeal lesions using immunohistochemical staining and Western blotting. Tumours wereclassified using the tumour–node–metastasis staging system and the degree of histological differentiation was assessed. Results: A total of 55 hypopharyngeal carcinoma and 20 benign specimens were analysed. All the hypopharyngeal carcinoma samples were positive for eIF4E expression on immunohistochemistry, whereas the benign lesions were negative or weakly positive. Semi-quantitative assessment (eIF4E score) showed that eIF4E expression was significatly higher in hypopharyngeal carcinoma than in benign lesions. On Western blotting, eIF4E expression assessed using integrated optical density (IOD) was significantly higher in hypopharyngeal carcinoma than in benign lesions. The eIF4E score and IOD value were significantly associated with tumour stage, lymphatic metastasis and degree of differentiation. The IOD value was significantly higher in recurrent compared with initial cases. Conclusions: eIF4E may play an important role in the development and metastasis of hypopharyngeal carcinoma;its expression may be helpful in establishing the diagnosis, stage and prognosis of this tumour type.
