Figure Lengend Snippet: Cordycepin mitigates 2% DSS-induced damage in NCM460 cells. ( A ) Effects of different concentrations of DSS on the viability of NCM460 cells. ( B ) Effects of different concentrations of cordycepin (COR) on the viability of NCM460 cells. NCM460 cells were treated with 2% DSS and / or 1 μmol/L (COR-1), 10 μmol/L (COR-10) COR for 24 h, the release levels of ( C ) LDH, ( D ) IL-1β, ( E ) IL-6, and ( F ) TNF-α in the supernatant were measured by using Elisa. ( G ) Representative images of PI staining and the percentage of PI-positive cells, scar bar = 100 μm. ( H ) The protein expression of ZO-1 in NCM460 cells was determined by using Western blotting assay. The results were representative of three independent experiments and expressed as mean ± SEM. Data were compared using two-tailed Student’s t tests. # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01, ### P < 0.001 and #### P < 0.0001 vs. control group; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 and ****P < 0.0001 vs. the 2% DSS group.

( A ) The cAMP levels in NCM460 cells under treatment with 2% DSS and/or 1 μmol/L and 10 μmol/L COR. ( B ) The cAMP levels in NCM460 cells under treatment with 2% DSS, 10 μmol/L COR, 5 μmol/L SCH58261 (SCH), and / or 5 μmol/L DPCPX for 24 h. The release levels of ( C ) LDH, ( D ) IL-1β, ( E ) IL-6, and ( F ) TNF-α were measured by using Elisa. ( G ) Representative images of PI staining and the percentage of PI-positive cells, scar bar = 100 μm. ( H – J ) The protein expression of ZO-1, A 2A AR and A 1 AR in NCM460 cells was determined by using Western blotting assay. The results were representative of three independent experiments and expressed as mean ± SEM. Data were compared using two-tailed Student’s t tests. vs. control group; # P < 0.05, vs. control group; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001 vs. the 2% DSS group.

Figure Lengend Snippet: SCH58261 blocks cordycepin’s amelioration of intestinal inflammation and gut barrier function in DSS-induced colitis mice. ( A – C ) Level of colonic IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α among the Control, DSS, DSS+COR-L and DSS+COR-H group were detected by using Elisa. ( D ) Representative images of AB-PAS staining of colonic tissue. The arrow indicates the goblet cells. ( E ) Number of goblet cells in colonic tissue. ( F ) Representative images of TUNEL staining in colonic tissue, scale bar = 50 μm. ( G ) Percentage of TUNEL-positive cells (%). ( H ) The protein expression of ZO-1 and Occludin in colons was determined by using Western blotting assay. ( I ) and ( J ) Serum level of D-lactate and diamine oxidase (DAO) were measured by using Elisa. ( K ) The serum cAMP levels among the control, DSS, DSS+COR-L, DSS+COR-H group and DSS+SCH+COR-H group. Data were presented as the means ± SEM of six-eight mice in each group and were compared using two-tailed Student’s t tests. # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01, ### P < 0.001 and #### P < 0.0001 vs. control group; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 and ****P < 0.0001 vs. the DSS model (DSS) group.

doi: 10.64898/2026.02.06.704505

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Schematic of experimental design. (B) Weight change over time of mice on high fat diet (HFD), n=10 biological replicates per group. (C) Representative images and body composition analysis of WT mice on normal diet (ND) or HFD, generated by DEXA scan. (D) Serum levels of IL-6, CRP, and MCP-1 measured by ELISA in mice fed ND and HFD for 42 weeks. (E) Circulating lymphocytes, neutrophils, and monocytes in peripheral blood from mice on HFD as detected by white blood cell differential. Data points represent biological replicates, error bars are shown as mean +/- SEM, and statistical analyses were performed with 2-way ANOVA with Fisher’s LSD test for more than two groups or Student’s t-test for comparing two groups; p-values less than 0.05 were considered significant.

Article Snippet: ELISA kits (mouse CRP (MCRP00), mouse IL-6 (M6000B), mouse CCL2/MCP-1 (MJE00B)) were purchased from R&D Systems and performed following the manufacturer’s instruction.
