Introduction associated with traveling occurrence ocean throughout cyclic multiparticle transport.
The RNA helicase RIG-I plays a key role in sensing pathogen-derived RNA. Double-stranded RNA structures bearing 5'-tri- or diphosphates are commonly referred to as activating RIG-I ligands. However, endogenous RNA fragments generated during viral infection via RNase L also activate RIG-I. Of note, RNase-digested RNA fragments bear a 5'-hydroxyl group and a 2',3'-cyclic phosphate. How endogenous RNA fragments activate RIG-I despite the lack of 5'-phosphorylation has not been elucidated. Here we describe an endogenous RIG-I ligand (eRL) that is derived from the internal transcribed spacer 2 region (ITS2) of the 45S ribosomal RNA after partial RNase A digestion in vitro, RNase A protein transfection or RNase L activation. The immunostimulatory property of the eRL is dependent on 2',3'-cyclic phosphate and its sequence is characterized by a G-quadruplex containing sequence motif mediating guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP) binding. In summary, RNase generated self-RNA fragments with 2',3'-cyclic phosphate function as nucleotide-5'-triphosphate binding aptamers activating RIG-I.
Changes in lower limb loading and movement quality after prolonged running and training periods might influence injury risks in runners.

To assess (1) the effects of a single prolonged run and a 3-week running training program on peak tibial acceleration (PTA) during running and Functional Movement Screen (FMS) criterion tests, and (2) the relationship between running volume during the 3-week training program and changes in PTA and FMS scores after training.

Case series.

Research laboratory.

Ten novice runners (age = 27 ± 7 years) with 15 ± 14 months of running experience, who ran on average 19.6 ± 4.8 km per week at a preferred pace of 705 ± 130 minutes per km.

Participants completed a 30-minute submaximal prolonged treadmill run and 3-week training program with 25% increases in weekly running volume. Peak tibial acceleration and the deep-squat and active straight-leg-raise criterion FMS test scores were assessed before and after the prolonged run at enrollment and after the training program (ie, 3 testing sessions).

No differences in PTA or FMS scores were observed among the 3 testing times. Although the changes in PTA (r = 0.57) and FMS aggregate score (r = 0.15) were not significantly correlated with training volume, training volume explained 32% of the variance in the PTA change from before to after training.

Our findings suggest that tibial acceleration and movement quality were not influenced by a single submaximal-effort prolonged run or a 3-week training period. However, novice runners who have a greater increase in running volume might be more susceptible to training-related changes in tibial acceleration than those whose running volume is less.

Although dietary supplementation that includes polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) has been proposed to elicit cardiovascular protection, a mechanism for antithrombotic protection has not been well established. The current study sought to investigate whether an omega-6 essential fatty acid, docosapentaenoic acid (DPAn-6), and its oxidized lipid metabolites (oxylipins) provide direct cardiovascular protection through inhibition of platelet reactivity. FUT-175 mouse Human and mouse blood and isolated platelets were treated with DPAn-6 and its 12-lipoxygenase (12-LOX)-derived oxylipins, 11-hydroxy-docosapentaenoic acid and 14-hydroxy-docosapentaenoic acid, to assess their ability to inhibit platelet activation. Pharmacological and genetic approaches were used to elucidate a role for DPA and its oxylipins in preventing platelet activation. DPAn-6 was found to be significantly increased in platelets following fatty acid supplementation, and it potently inhibited platelet activation through its 12-LOX-derived oxylipins. The inhibitory effects were selectively reversed through inhibition of the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator activator receptor-α (PPARα). PPARα binding was confirmed using a PPARα transcription reporter assay, as well as PPARα-/- mice. These approaches confirmed that selectivity of platelet inhibition was due to effects of DPA oxylipins acting through PPARα. Mice administered DPAn-6 or its oxylipins exhibited reduced thrombus formation following vessel injury, which was prevented in PPARα-/- mice. Hence, the current study demonstrates that DPAn-6 and its oxylipins potently and effectively inhibit platelet activation and thrombosis following a vascular injury. Platelet function is regulated, in part, through an oxylipin-induced PPARα-dependent manner, suggesting that targeting PPARα may represent an alternative strategy to treat thrombotic-related diseases.Arterial thrombosis in the setting of dyslipidemia promotes clinically significant events, including myocardial infarction and stroke. Oxidized lipids in low-density lipoproteins (oxLDL) are a risk factor for athero-thrombosis and are recognized by platelet scavenger receptor CD36. oxLDL binding to CD36 promotes platelet activation and thrombosis by promoting generation of reactive oxygen species. The downstream signaling events initiated by reactive oxygen species in this setting are poorly understood. In this study, we report that CD36 signaling promotes hydrogen peroxide flux in platelets. Using carbon nucleophiles that selectively and covalently modify cysteine sulfenic acids, we found that hydrogen peroxide generated through CD36 signaling promotes cysteine sulfenylation of platelet proteins. Specifically, cysteines were sulfenylated on Src family kinases, which are signaling transducers that are recruited to CD36 upon recognition of its ligands. Cysteine sulfenylation promoted activation of Src family kinases and was prevented by using a blocking antibody to CD36 or by enzymatic degradation of hydrogen peroxide.
