High-fat diet-induced liver injury in Channa argus through lipid metabolism, anti-oxidative status, apoptosis, and inflammation by Jiaxin Tian, Ying Li, Jiwu Wan, Zhinan Yang, Guiqin Wang

“…Anti-oxidative status-related biochemical parameters were determined; the malondialdehyde level was increased, and anti-oxidative indices (including catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione, glutathione-S-transferase, and total antioxidant capacity) were decreased in the L22 group, which also induced DNA damage and inhibited the expression levels of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway-related antioxidant genes to suppress antioxidant ability. At 90 days, the L22 group exhibited a significant upregulation of mRNA expression levels for liver inflammatory factors, including interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-8, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). …”

Transcriptome analysis reveals that PRV XJ delgE/gI/TK protects against intestinal damage in nose-dropping-infected mice by regulating ECM-ITGA/ITGB-P-FAK by Tong Xu, Yang Zhang, Qian Tao, Lei Xu, Si-Yuan Lai, Yan-Ru Ai, Jian-Bo Huang, Ben-Lu Yang, Ling Zhu, Zhi-Wen Xu

“…Therefore, we hypothesized that PRV promotes self-infection through activation of the ECM-ITGA/ITGB-p-FAK signaling pathway and that PRV XJ delgE/gI/TK immunization could attenuate the intestinal damage caused by PRV by inhibiting the activation of this pathway.IMPORTANCEPseudorabies virus (PRV) poses a significant threat to the swine industry and public health due to its ability to infect multiple species, including humans, leading to substantial economic losses and potential health risks. …”
