MiR-422a promotes adipogenesis via MeCP2 downregulation in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells

Angelica Giuliani, Jacopo Sabbatinelli, Stefano Amatori, Laura Graciotti, Andrea Silvestrini, Giulia Matacchione, Deborah Ramini, Emanuela Mensa, Francesco Prattichizzo, Lucia Babini, Domenico Mattiucci, Elena Marinelli Busilacchi, Maria Giulia Bacalini, Emma Espinosa, Fabrizia Lattanzio, Antonio Domenico Procopio, Fabiola Olivieri, Antonella Poloni, Mirco Fanelli, Maria Rita Rippo

Summary: This study found that the expression of MeCP2 protein is downregulated during adipogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. This downregulation is not dependent on MeCP2 DNA methylation or mRNA levels, but on miRNA regulation. miR-422a and miR-483-5p are upregulated during adipogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. Modulation of miR-422a and miR-483-5p levels can affect MeCP2 expression and adipogenic differentiation.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation and inflammation as well as in-hospital mortality in older patients with severe COVID-19. Among 156 geriatric COVID-19 patients, 12.2% showed CMV reactivation. CMV reactivation was found to be an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients younger than 87 years old.

The Combination of Natural Molecules Naringenin, Hesperetin, Curcumin, Polydatin and Quercetin Synergistically Decreases SEMA3E Expression Levels and DPPIV Activity in In Vitro Models of Insulin Resistance

Emanuele-Salvatore Scarpa, Chiara Giordani, Antonella Antonelli, Massimiliano Petrelli, Giancarlo Balercia, Francesca Silvetti, Alessio Pieroni, Jacopo Sabbatinelli, Maria Rita Rippo, Fabiola Olivieri, Giulia Matacchione

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of flavanones naringenin and hesperetin in combination with anti-inflammatory natural molecules curcumin, polydatin, and quercetin in in vitro models of insulin resistance. The results showed that the combination of these five phytochemicals synergistically decreased expression levels of the pro-inflammatory gene SEMA3E in insulin-resistant cells and synergistically decreased DPPIV activity, indicating their ability to inhibit pro-inflammatory and insulin resistance molecular mechanisms.

Pro-Osteogenic and Anti-Inflammatory Synergistic Effect of Orthosilicic Acid, Vitamin K2, Curcumin, Polydatin and Quercetin Combination in Young and Senescent Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

Chiara Giordani, Giulia Matacchione, Angelica Giuliani, Debora Valli, Emanuele Salvatore Scarpa, Antonella Antonelli, Jacopo Sabbatinelli, Gilberta Giacchetti, Sofia Sabatelli, Fabiola Olivieri, Maria Rita Rippo

Summary: During aging, bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) undergo cellular senescence and acquire a pro-inflammatory secretory phenotype, leading to osteoporosis. In this study, the combination of orthosilicic acid (OA) and vitamin K2 (VK2), along with three anti-inflammatory compounds (curcumin, polydatin, and quercetin) showed potential in promoting MSC osteogenesis and inhibiting their pro-inflammatory phenotype. These natural compounds could be used as a supplement to prevent or control age-related osteoporosis.

miRNAs, Mesenchymal Stromal Cells and Major Neoplastic and Inflammatory Skin Diseases: A Page Being Written: A Systematic Review

Mariangela Di Vincenzo, Federico Diotallevi, Silvia Piccirillo, Gianluca Carnevale, Annamaria Offidani, Anna Campanati, Monia Orciani

Summary: Micro RNAs (miRNAs), a type of non-coding RNA, interact with specific target mRNAs through base pairing, affecting their translation and stability. MiRNAs play a crucial role in regulating the fate of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in various skin diseases, both inflammatory and neoplastic. However, the exact role of miRNAs in these diseases is still a matter of debate.

Efficacy and Safety of Botulinum Toxin B in Focal Hyperhidrosis: A Narrative Review

Summary: Botulinum toxin type B (BoNT-B), also known as Myobloc((R)) in the United States and as Neurobloc((R)) in Europe, is a new therapeutic option for focal hyperhidrosis. Recent studies have been investigating its safety profile, which may differ from BoNT-A. This review aims to summarize the current knowledge regarding the use of BoNT-B in the treatment of focal hyperhidrosis.

Summary: A Delphi consensus document was developed to establish agreement on the use of brodalumab in the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis. Consensus was reached on the key indications for the use of brodalumab based on the opinions of a panel of Italian dermatologists.

Evidence of an anti-inflammatory effect of PCSK9 inhibitors within the human atherosclerotic plaque

Summary: This study found that PCSK9 inhibitors, used as monotherapy, can reduce the expression of inflammatory markers within atherosclerotic plaques and increase the abundance of SIRT3 and collagen. Patients treated with PCSK9 inhibitors had a decreased risk of cardiovascular events. Additionally, the expression of PCSK9 was positively correlated with the expression of pro-inflammatory proteins within the plaque, and the inflammatory burden was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events.

Summary: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play important roles in regulating various cellular processes and can impact cell survival, death, inflammation, differentiation, growth, and immune response. Pathological conditions like diabetes can increase ROS production, leading to protein and DNA damage, neurodegeneration, and cognitive decline. GLP-1RAs, a type of anti-diabetic drug, have been found to reduce ROS generation and improve cognitive function.

Autonomic nervous system imbalance during aging contributes to impair endogenous anti-inflammaging strategies

Sergio Giunta, Shijin Xia, Giuseppe Pelliccioni, Fabiola Olivieri

Summary: Inflammaging refers to a chronic proinflammatory state that is associated with age-related diseases. While the focus has been on proinflammatory stimuli, the role of endogenous anti-inflammaging mechanisms has been overlooked. Imbalances in the autonomic nervous system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis contribute to inflammaging, while the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway plays a role in reducing inflammation. These mechanisms become less effective in older individuals, contributing to inflammaging.

Glucose and HbA1c variability and time in range (TIR) Are these parameters important with respect to diabetes complications? German version

Francesco Prattichizzo, Antonio Ceriello

Summary: This article reviews the importance of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in diabetes management and highlights its limitations in capturing blood glucose fluctuations. Recent data suggest that variability in blood glucose and HbA1c are additional independent risk factors for diabetes complications. Continuous glucose monitoring allows calculation of time in range (TIR), a new metric related to glucose variability and an independent risk factor for complications.
