Regulation of senescence-associated secretory phenotypes in osteoarthritis by cytosolic UDP-GlcNAc retention and O-GlcNAcylation by Donghyun Kang, Jeeyeon Lee, Geunho Yook, Sehan Jeong, Jungkwon Shin, Mi-Sung Kim, Yi-Jun Kim, Hyeryeon Jung, Jinsung Ahn, Tae Woo Kim, Moon Jong Chang, Chong Bum Chang, Seung-Baik Kang, Won Ho Yang, Yong-ho Lee, Jin Won Cho, Eugene C. Yi, Chanhee Kang, Jin-Hong Kim

“…Abstract UDP-GlcNAc serves as a building block for glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains in cartilage proteoglycans and simultaneously acts as a substrate for O-GlcNAcylation. Here, we show that transporters for UDP-GlcNAc to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi are significantly downregulated in osteoarthritic cartilage, leading to increased cytosolic UDP-GlcNAc and O-GlcNAcylation in chondrocytes. …”

Shenlian (SL) Decoction, a Traditional Chinese Medicine Compound, May Ameliorate Blood Glucose via Mediating the Gut Microbiota in db/db Mice by Rui-xi Sun, Wei-jun Huang, Yao Xiao, Dou-dou Wang, Guo-hua Mu, He Nan, Bo-ran Ni, Xiao-qiang Huang, Hsuan-chuan Wang, Yi-fan Liu, Qiang Fu, Jin-xi Zhao

“…Alpha diversity analysis showed that all interventions with ginseng, Coptis, and SL decoction could reverse the increased diversity and richness of gut microbiota in db/db mice. PCoA analysis showed oral SL decoction significantly alters gut microbiota composition in db/db mice. 395 OTUs showed significant differences after SL treatment, of which 37 OTUs enriched by SL decoction showed a significant negative correlation with FBG, and 204 OTUs decreased by SL decoction showed a significant positive correlation with FBG. …”

“…Notably, the food poisoning‐associated toxin gene cpe was identified in a fusion plasmid for the first time in an isolate, indicating fusion of pCP13‐like and pCW3‐like plasmids and the potential for transfer of cpe across genetic backgrounds. Moreover, we observed that the genomic characteristics of C. perfringens correlate with host species, with specific toxin genes, such as pfoA and colA, potentially influencing host selectivity. …”
