        Splenectomy improves liver fibrosis via tumor necrosis factor superfamily 14 (LIGHT) through the JNK/TGF-β1 signaling pathway

        Liang Qing-shan,Xie Jian-Gang,Yu ChaoPing,Feng ZhuSheng,Ma JingChang,Zhang Yuan,Wang Dong,Lu JianGuo,Zhuang Ran,Yin Jikai 생화학분자생물학회 2021 Experimental and molecular medicine Vol.53 No.-

        Splenectomy has been reported to improve liver fibrosis in patients with cirrhosis and hypersplenism. However, the mechanisms remain unclear. Tumor necrosis factor superfamily 14 (TNFSF14; also known as LIGHT) is highly expressed in the context of fibrosis and promotes disease progression in patients with fibrotic diseases such as pulmonary and skin fibrosis. Here, we determined whether splenectomy controls the production of LIGHT to improve liver fibrosis. Splenectomy reduced serum LIGHT levels in cirrhotic patients with hypersplenism and a ConA-induced liver fibrosis mouse model. Blocking LIGHT resulted in the downregulation of TGF-β1 in RAW264.7 cells. LIGHT treatment of RAW264.7 and JS1 cells in coculture regulated transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) expression through the activation of JNK signaling. Small interfering RNA-mediated silencing of lymphotoxin β receptor (LTβR) in macrophages resulted in pronounced decreases in the levels of fibrosis and αSMA in JS1 cells. These results indicated that LIGHT bound to LTβR and drove liver fibrosis in vitro. Blocking TGF-β1 abolished the effect of LIGHT in vitro. Furthermore, the administration of recombinant murine LIGHT protein-induced liver fibrosis with splenectomy, while blocking LIGHT without splenectomy improved liver fibrosis in vivo, revealing that the decrease in fibrosis following splenectomy was directly related to reduced levels of LIGHT. Thus, high levels of LIGHT derived from the spleen and hepatic macrophages activate JNK signaling and lead to increased TGF-β1 production in hepatic macrophages. Splenectomy attenuates liver fibrosis by decreasing the expression of LIGHT.

      • Rational design of common transition metal-nitrogen-carbon catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction in fuel cells

        Zheng, Yongping,Yang, Dae-Soo,Kweun, Joshua M.,Li, Chenzhe,Tan, Kui,Kong, Fantai,Liang, Chaoping,Chabal, Yves J.,Kim, Yoon Young,Cho, Maenghyo,Yu, Jong-Sung,Cho, Kyeongjae Elsevier 2016 Nano energy Vol.30 No.-

        <P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Bio-inspired non-precious-metal catalysts based on iron and cobalt porphyrins are promising alternatives to replace costly platinum-based catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cells. However, the exact nature of the active sites is still not clearly understood, and further optimization design is needed for practical applications. Here, we report a rational catalyst design process by combining density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experimental validations. Two sets of square-planar (MN<SUB>x</SUB>C<SUB>4−x</SUB>) and square-pyramid (MN<SUB>x</SUB>C<SUB>5−x</SUB>) active centers (M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) incorporated in graphene were examined using DFT. Fe-N<SUB>5</SUB> and Co-N<SUB>4</SUB> sites were identified theoretically to have the best performance in fuel cells, while Ni-N<SUB>x</SUB>C<SUB>4−x</SUB> sites catalyze the most H<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>2</SUB> byproduct. Graphene samples with well-dispersed incorporations of metals were synthesized, and the following electrochemical measurements show an excellent agreement with the theoretical predictions, indicating that a successful design framework and systematic understanding toward the catalytic nature of these materials are established.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Graphene based catalysts design for ORR is demonstrated by combining experiments and modellings. </LI> <LI> Iron porphyrin like active site is unraveled to be five nitrogen coordinated as FeN<SUB>5</SUB>. </LI> <LI> Cobalt porphyrin like active site is shown to be four nitrogen coordinated as CoN<SUB>4</SUB>. </LI> <LI> Nickel porphyrin like catalyst is potentially used for catalytic synthesis of H<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>2</SUB>. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>
