Item Methionine as a double-edged sword in health and disease: Current perspective and future challenges(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2021-10-25T00:00:00) Navik, Umashanker; Sheth, Vaibhav G.; Khurana, Amit; Jawalekar, Snehal Sainath; Allawadhi, Prince; Gaddam, Ravinder Reddy; Bhatti, Jasvinder Singh; Tikoo, KulbhushanMethionine is one of the essential amino acids and plays a vital role in various cellular processes. Reports advocate that methionine restriction and supplementation provide promising outcomes, and its regulation is critical for maintaining a healthy life. Dietary methionine restriction in houseflies and rodents has been proven to extend lifespan. Contrary to these findings, long-term dietary restriction of methionine leads to adverse events such as bone-related disorders, stunted growth, and hyperhomocysteinemia. Conversely, dietary supplementation of methionine improves hepatic steatosis, insulin resistance, inflammation, fibrosis, and bone health. However, a high level of methionine intake shows adverse effects such as hyperhomocysteinemia, reduced body weight, and increased cholesterol levels. Therefore, dietary methionine in a safe dose could have medicinal values. Hence, this review is aimed to provide a snapshot of the dietary role and regulation of methionine in the modulation of health and age-related diseases. � 2021 Elsevier B.V.Item Progression of pre-rheumatoid arthritis to clinical disease of joints: Potential role of mesenchymal stem cells(Elsevier Inc., 2023-03-28T00:00:00) Sardana, Yogesh; Bhatti, Gurjit Kaur; Singh, Charan; Sharma, Pushpender Kumar; Reddy, P. Hemachandra; Bhatti, Jasvinder SinghRheumatoid arthritis (RA) related autoimmunity is developed at mucosal sites due to the interplay between genetic risk factors and environmental triggers. The pre-RA phase that leads to anti-citrullinated protein antibodies, rheumatoid factor, and other autoantibodies spread in the systemic circulation may not affect articular tissue for years until a mysterious second hit triggers the localization of RA-related autoimmunity in joints. Several players in the joint microenvironment mediate the synovial innate and adaptive immunological processes, eventually leading to clinical synovitis. There still exists a gap in the early phase of RA pathogenesis, i.e., the progression of diseases from the systemic circulation to joints. The lack of better understanding of these events results in the inability to answer questions about why only after a certain point of time the disease appears in joints and why in some cases, it simply remains latent and doesn't affect joints at all. In the current review, we focused on the immunomodulatory and regenerative role of mesenchymal stem cells and associated exosomes in RA pathology. We also highlighted the age-related dysregulations in activities of mesenchymal stem cells and how that might trigger homing of systemic autoimmunity to joints. � 2023 Elsevier Inc.
