The study found that PIC can alleviate sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction by inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, reducing cardiomyocyte apoptosis and inflammatory responses.
Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD) represents one of the serious complications secondary to sepsis, which is a leading cause of the high mortality rate among septic cases. Subsequent cardiomyocyte apoptosis, together with the uncontrolled inflammatory response, has been suggested to be closely related to SIMD. Piceatannol (PIC) is verified with potent anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects, but its function and molecular mechanism in SIMD remain unknown so far. This study aimed to explore the potential role and mechanism of action of PIC in resisting SIMD. The interaction of PIC with JAK2 proteins was evaluated by molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi). The cecal ligation and puncture-induced septicemia mice and the LPS-stimulated H9C2 cardiomyocytes were prepared as the models in vivo and in vitro, separately. Molecular docking showed that JAK2-PIC complex had the -8.279 kcal/mol binding energy. MD simulations showed that JAK2-PIC binding was stable. SPRi analysis also showed that PIC has a strong binding affinity to JAK2. PIC treatment significantly ameliorated the cardiac function, attenuated the sepsis-induced myocardial loss, and suppressed the myocardial inflammatory responses both in vivo and in vitro. Further detection revealed that PIC inhibited the activation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling, which was tightly associated with apoptosis and inflammation. Importantly, pre-incubation with a JAK2 inhibitor (AG490) partially blocked the cardioprotective effects of PIC. Collectively, the findings demonstrated that PIC restored the impaired cardiac function by attenuating the sepsis-induced apoptosis and inflammation via suppressing the JAK2/STAT3 pathway both in septic mice and H9C2 cardiomyocytes.

Meng Zeng, Kuixin Lin, Zhukun Zhou, Hongmei Chen, Xiaoma Tao, Yifang Ouyang, Yong Du

Summary: A series of SiC/Al composites with different contents of 3-dimensional graphene networks (3DGN) were prepared using mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering. The effects of 3DGN on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion behaviors of SiC-3DGN/Al composites were investigated. The results showed that 3DGN substantially enhanced the synergistic strength-toughness of SiC/Al composites by improving the interface cohesion and increasing hardness, density, ductility, and corrosion resistance in NaCl solution.

Meng Zeng, Hongmei Chen, Xiaoma Tao, Yifang Ouyang

Summary: Three-dimensional graphene networks (3DGN) can be used as reinforcement for aluminum matrix composites due to their unique wrinkled structure and cost-effectiveness. This study investigates the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of 3DGN in Al matrix. Results show that the densification of 3DGN/Al composites slightly decreases with increasing 3DGN content. Additionally, the addition of 3DGN aggravates the corrosion of aluminum compared to pure aluminum. This study provides a reference for future research on graphene-reinforced aluminum matrix composites.

Robust multi-view clustering in latent low-rank space with discrepancy induction

Bo Xiong, Hongmei Chen, Tianrui Li, Xiaoling Yang

Summary: Multi-view graph clustering has attracted extensive research attention due to its ability to capture consistent and complementary information between views. However, multi-view data are mostly high-dimensional and may contain redundant and irrelevant features. In addition, the original data are often contaminated by noise and outliers, affecting the reliability of the learned affinity matrix. This study proposes a robust multi-view clustering model that combines low-dimensional and low-rank latent space learning, self-representation learning, and multi-view discrepancy induction fusion. Experimental results on benchmark datasets show that the proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art comparison models in terms of robustness and clustering performance.

Summary: The activation of the inflammasome plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have been shown to alleviate SLE by suppressing inflammasome activation. This study found that the NLRP3 inflammasome was activated in macrophages from SLE patients and mice, and its activation correlated with disease activity. After MSC transplantation, the severity of SLE was reduced, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation was inhibited. These findings suggest that MSC suppress inflammasome activation and provide a potential therapeutic target for SLE.
