Concomitant Treatment with Etanercept and Tacrolimus Synergistically Attenuates Arthritis Progression via Inhibition of Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 Production and Osteoclastogenesis in Human TNF-α Transgenic Mice by Iwao Seki, Miwa Takai-Imamura, Tomomi Kohara-Tanaka, Satoshi Shirae, Minoru Sasano, Hiroaki Matsuno, Hiroyuki Aono

“…In the present study, we investigated the effects and mechanisms of action of a combined treatment with etanercept, a soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor (p75) Fc fusion protein, and tacrolimus, a calcineurin inhibitor on the progression of arthritis in human tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) transgenic (hTNF-Tg) mice. Single-drug treatments with etanercept and tacrolimus attenuated the clinical signs but not the radiographic changes associated with the development of arthritis in mice. …”

Microbial phenolic metabolites 3-(3′,4′-dihydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid and 3′,4′-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid prevent obesity in mice fed with high-fat diet by Wanbing Chen, Ruonan Liu, Xiaoling Zhu, Qun Lu, Hong Yang, Rui Liu

“…In this study, DHPA and DHAA were found to alleviate obesity, as well as regulate insulin resistance, lipid metabolism, and oxidative stress response in high-fat diet (HFD) mice. Surprisingly, the 16S rRNA sequencing and UHPLC-Q-TOF/MS demonstrated that DHPA and DHAA only slightly disturbed the intestinal microbiome, but significantly altered the urine metabolome of HFD mice mainly by regulating pentose and glucuronate interconversion, tyrosine metabolism, pentose phosphate and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle as indicated by metabolic pathway analysis based on Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database. …”
