“…Because the noninvasive tail vein blood pressure monitor is limited and congested, blood pressure was not measured immediately following administration. In addition, continuous blood pressure monitoring may cause stroke, and Ang II-induced blood pressure variations in mice have been reported previously ( 24 , 33 ). The blood pressure of HCMB mice was substantially higher than that of HTN and CON mice following 28 days of monitoring ( P < 0.05).…”

Hypertensive cerebral microbleeds (HCMB) may be the early stage of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH), which is a serious threat to health due to its high mortality and disability rates. The early clinical symptoms of HCMB may not be significant. Moreover, it is difficult to achieve early diagnosis and intervention for targeted prevention of HICH. Although hypertension (HTN) is a predisposition for HCMB, it remains unclear whether there is any difference between hypertensive patients with or without HCMB. Therefore, we carried out liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to analyze early biomarkers for HCMB in mice with hypertension and to lay the foundation for early prevention of HICH in hypertensive patients. In total, 18 C57 male mice were randomly divided into the HCMB (n = 6), HTN (n = 6), and control groups (CON, n = 6). Hematoxylin-eosin and diaminobenzidine staining were used to assess the reliability of the model. The metabolite expression level and sample category stability were tested using the displacement test of orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). Significant differences in metabolites were screened out using variable importance in the projection (VIP > 1), which were determined using the OPLS-DA model and the P-value of the t-test (P < 0.05) combined with the nonparametric rank-sum test. With an area under the curve (AUC) > 0.85 and a P-value of 0.05, the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to further screen the distinct metabolites of HCMB. Compared with the HTN and CON groups, the HCMB group had significantly higher blood pressure and lower average body weight (P < 0.05). Through untargeted LC-MS analysis, 93 distinct metabolites were identified in the HCMB (P < 0.05, VIP > 1) group. Among these potential biomarkers, six significantly decreased and eight significantly increased differential metabolites were found. Meanwhile, we found that the HCMB group had statistically distinct arginine and purine metabolism pathways (P < 0.05), and citrulline may be the most significant possible biomarker of HCMB (AUC > 0.85, P < 0.05). All of these potential biomarkers may serve as early biomarkers for HICH in hypertension.

Qing-Wen-Jie-Re mixture (QWJR) has been used in the treatment of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in China. However, the protective mechanisms of QWJR on viral pneumonia remain unclear. In the present study, we first investigated the therapeutic effects of QWJR on a rat viral pneumonia model established by using polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly (I:C)). The results indicated that QWJR could relieve the destruction of alveolar-capillary barrier in viral pneumonia rats, as represented by the decreased wet/dry weight (W/D) ratio in lung, total cell count and total protein concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Besides, QWJR could also down-regulate the expression of inflammatory factors such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6. More M1-type macrophage polarization was detected by calculating CD86+ cells and CD206+ cells and validated by the decline of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and elevated arginase-1 (Arg-1) in lung. Finally, serum untargeted metabolomics analysis demonstrated that QWJR might take effect through regulating arginine metabolism, arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism processes.

“…Decanoylcarnitine is an important metabolite involved in energy metabolism and is an acylcarnitine. Carnitine combines with fatty acids or deamination products of branched-chain amino acids to form acylcarnitine, which transports metabolites through the cytoplasm to the mitochondria, where β-oxidation occurs during degradation to produce energy ( Yang et al, 2021 ) and has the function of promoting lipid metabolism ( Maruyama et al, 2017 ). Lauric acid is a specific saturated fatty acid with the longest carbon chain among medium-chain fatty acids and does not have cardiovascular disease risk.…”

IntroductionThe dietary protein level plays a crucial role in maintaining the equilibrium of rumen microbiota in yaks. To explore the association between dietary protein levels, rumen microbiota, and muscle metabolites, we examined the rumen microbiome and muscle metabolome characteristics in yaks subjected to varying dietary protein levels.MethodsIn this study, 36 yaks were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 12 per group): low dietary protein group (LP, 12% protein concentration), medium dietary protein group (MP, 14% protein concentration), and high dietary protein group (HP, 16% protein concentration).Results16S rDNA sequencing revealed that the HP group exhibited the highest Chao1 and Observed_species indices, while the LP group demonstrated the lowest. Shannon and Simpson indices were significantly elevated in the MP group relative to the LP group (P < 0.05). At the genus level, the relative abundance of Christensenellaceae_R-7_group in the HP group was notably greater than that in the LP and MP groups (P < 0.05). Conversely, the relative abundance of Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group displayed an increasing tendency with escalating feed protein levels. Muscle metabolism analysis revealed that the content of the metabolite Uric acid was significantly higher in the LP group compared to the MP group (P < 0.05). The content of the metabolite L-(+)-Arabinose was significantly increased in the MP group compared to the HP group (P < 0.05), while the content of D-(-)-Glutamine and L-arginine was significantly reduced in the LP group (P < 0.05). The levels of metabolites 13-HPODE, Decanoylcarnitine, Lauric acid, L-(+)-Arabinose, and Uric acid were significantly elevated in the LP group relative to the HP group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, our observations disclosed correlations between rumen microbes and muscle metabolites. The relative abundance of NK4A214_group was negatively correlated with Orlistat concentration; the relative abundance of Christensenellaceae_R-7_group was positively correlated with D-(-)-Glutamine and L-arginine concentrations.DiscussionOur findings offer a foundation for comprehending the rumen microbiome of yaks subjected to different dietary protein levels and the intimately associated metabolic pathways of the yak muscle metabolome. Elucidating the rumen microbiome and muscle metabolome of yaks may facilitate the determination of dietary protein levels.
