RESUMEN
Abnormal iron metabolism mediated by ferritinophagy is one of the most important mechanisms in the occurrence of ferroptosis.The regulatory mechanism of ferritinophagy mainly involves the transcription of NCOA4 and its corresponding protein modifications.Ferroptosis plays an important role in the development of colitis and colitis-associated cancer,and target-oriented regulation of ferroptosis can alleviate colonic inflammatory response and induce the tumor cell death.This article mainly reviewed the regulatory mechanism of NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy and its progress in colitis and colitis-related cancer,which may provide a new point for the investigation on mechanism of colitis and inflammation-cancer transformation.
RESUMEN
To assess relationships between xanthine oxidase (XOD) and nephropathogenic infectious bronchitis virus (NIBV) infection, 240 growing layers (35 days old) were randomly divided into two groups (infected and control) of 120 chickens each. Each chicken in the control and infected group was intranasally inoculated with 0.2 mL sterile physiological saline and virus, respectively, after which serum antioxidant parameters and renal XOD mRNA expression in growing layers were evaluated at 8, 15 and 22 days post-inoculation (dpi). The results showed that serum glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activities in the infected group were significantly lower than in the control group at 8 and 15 dpi (p < 0.01), while serum malondialdehyde concentrations were significantly higher (p < 0.01). The serum uric acid was significantly higher than that of the control group at 15 dpi (p < 0.01). In addition, the kidney mRNA transcript level and serum activity of XOD in the infected group was significantly higher than that of the control group at 8, 15 and 22 dpi (p < 0.05). The results indicated that NIBV infection could cause the increases of renal XOD gene transcription and serum XOD activity, leading to hyperuricemia and reduction of antioxidants in the body.
