Wang Z, Wu J-L, Zhong F, Liu Y, Yu Y-Q, Sun J-J, Wang S, Li H, Zhou X-F, Hu Z-L, Dai R-P (2019) Upregulation of proBDNF in the mesenteric lymph nodes in septic mice. Neurotox Res 36(3):540-550. doi: 10.1007/s12640-019-00081-3 PMID: 31278527

Objective: To characterize the expression pattern of proBDNF in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation, and to investigate the association of pathogenesis of sepsis.

Summary: This study provided direct evidence that sepsis promoted the proliferation of CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ T cells, but inhibits CD19+ B cells in the MLNs. Also, proBDNF was upregulated during the sepsis, which was mainly localized on CD3+ and CD4+ T cells in MLNs. The upregulation of proBDNF signaling and cytokines activation in the MLNs may be involved in the disease progress of sepsis.

Arthritis Res Ther 21(1):68. doi: 10.1186/s13075-019-1819-9 PMID: 30795801

Objective: To investigate if combining a standard of care NSAID (naproxen) with a Key Bioscience peptides (KBP) resulted in improvement in pain scores, as well as disease activity and structural damage in a rat model of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Summary: Combination therapy had improved efficacy over naproxen monotherapy; combination therapy resulted in improved health scores, and reduced mechanical and cold allodynia assessment. Furthermore, protection of articular cartilage structure and preservation of bone structure and bone volume were also observed.
