| 2 | Alleviating effects and mechanisms of action of large-leaf yellow tea drinking on diabetes and diabetic nephropathy in mice显示文摘Our previous study found that large-leaf yellow tea(LYT)had interesting hypoglycemic activity in high-fat diet-induced obese mice and highly safety in healthy mice. To study the anti-diabetic potential of LYT, the present study further investigated the preventive effects and mechanisms of action of LYT administration on diabetes and diabetic nephropathy in high-fat diet plus streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. Results showed that LYT infusions(1/100 and 1/50, m/V)as drinking fluid for 4 weeks reduced diabetic polydipsia and polyuria, enhanced glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, and lowered fasting blood glucose level. The underlying mechanisms involve downregulation of gluconeogenesis(lower protein levels of TXNIP and FBP and enzyme activity of FBP), upregulation of lipid catabolism(higher protein levels of CPT-1α and PPARα), downregulation of lipogenesis(lower protein level of SREBP-1), and modification of the structure and abundance of gut microbiota to modulate metabolic homeostasis. Moreover, LYT administration prevented diabetic nephropathy, possibly due to reduced glucose-caused osmotic diuresis and lowered levels of renal PKC-β2, NLRP3 as well as membrane PKC-α, AQP2 and glycosylated AQP2 proteins. Taken together, LYT exhibits the activities in alleviating diabetic symptoms, ameliorating glucose and lipid dysmetabolism and fatty liver, and preventing diabetic nephropathy in diabetic mice. These activities may be explored for the prevention and treatment of diabetes in humans. | Guangshan Zhao Jianyuan Teng Ruixia Dong Qiuyan Ban Lian Yang Kang Du Yifei Wang Hanlin Pu Chung S.Yang Zhe Ren | 2023 | Food Science and Human Wellness2023，12，5： | 1 |
| 3 | Basophils as a potential therapeutic target in cancer显示文摘Basophils,which are considered as redundant relatives of mast cells and the rarest granulocytes in peripheral circulation,have been neglected by researchers in the past decades.Previous studies have revealed their vital roles in allergic diseases and parasitic infections.Intriguingly,recent studies even reported that basophils might be associated with cancer development,as activated basophils synthesize and release a variety of cytokines and chemokines in response to cancers.However,it is still subject to debate whether basophils function as tumor-protecting or tumor-promoting components;the answer may depend on the tumor biology and the microenvironment.Herein,we reviewed the role of basophils in cancers,and highlighted some potential and promising therapeutic strategies. | Jicheng ZHANG Hanlin YIN Qiangda CHEN Guochao ZHAO Wenhui LOU Wenchuan WU Ning PU | 2021 | Journal of Zhejiang University-Science B(Biomedicine & Biotechnology)2021，22，12： | 0 |
