Abstract Changes in gene expression lung epithelial cells are detected cancer tissues during exposure to pollutants, highlighting the importance of gene‐environmental interactions disease. Here, a Cd‐induced malignant transformation model mouse lungs and bronchial cell lines is constructed, differences non‐coding circRNAs analyzed. The migratory invasive abilities Cd‐transformed suppressed by circCIMT. A significant DNA damage response observed after Cd, which increased further following...
Pathological cardiac hypertrophy induced by adrenergic overactivation can subsequently develop to heart failure which remains as a leading cause of mortality worldwide.Tanshinone IIA is lipid-soluble pharmacologically active compound extracted from the rhizome Chinese herb Salvia miltiorrhiza, well-known traditional medicine used for treatment cardiovascular disorders.However, little know about effect Tanshinone on hypertrophy.The present study was aimed investigate whether prevents...
Deregulated migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) acts a crucial role in the pathogenesis many cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease hypertension. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play functional roles lot biological processes cell development, proliferation, differentiation invasion. In our study, we demonstrated that BANCR expression level was upregulated atherosclerotic plaques tissues compared to normal vessels tissues. TNF-α...
Background: Neo-adjuvant chemotherapy is an effective strategy for improving treatment of breast cancers. However, the efficacy this limited triple negative cancer (TNBC). Gene therapy may be a more prognosis TNBC. Methods: A novel 25 nucleotide sense strand miRNA was designed to treat TNBC by silencing Slug gene, and encapsulated into DSPE-PEG2000-tLyp-1 peptide-modified functional liposomes. The liposomes evaluated on invasive cells cancer-bearing nude mice. Furthermore, vinorelbine were...
A silver-catalyzed cross coupling of cyclic aldimines and α-imino-oxy acids has been developed. The solvent-dependent reaction could selectively deliver either imine moiety retained nitriles or ring-opened oxonitriles in moderate yields.
Defects in the DNA damage response (DDR) are associated with tumorigenesis, and circular RNAs (circRNAs) can also affect occurrence progression of cancer by regulating gene expression. However, relationship between lung circRNAs remains unexplored. In this study, circ_0004470 was significantly upregulated various cells (H446, A549, H1299) as well carcinogenic animal models clinical samples. Circ_0004470 promoted cell cycle S phase arrest human pulmonary bronchial epithelial cells, inhibited...
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a severe coronary artery disease and leading cause of mortality morbidity worldwide. However, the molecular mechanisms MI have yet to be fully elucidated. In this study, we compiled MI-related genes, microRNAs (miRNAs) known human transcription factors (TFs), then identified 1,232 feed-forward loops (FFLs) among these miRNAs, TFs their co-regulated target genes through integrating prediction. By merging FFLs, first miRNA TF mediated regulatory network for was...
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common disease that associated with the proliferation and apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). VSMCs are regulated by microRNAs (miRNA). The aim present study was to identify miRNA sequences regulate SMCs during AAA. miRNA‑504 identified using PCR array reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis, its expression levels were observed be downregulated in derived from patients AAA when compared controls. Transfection...
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are widely expressed in mammals and act as regulatory targets the atherogenesis. The objective of this study was to research biological role molecular mechanism circ_0093887 oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced atherosclerosis (AS) human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs). Cell viability detection performed by CCK-8 assay. Inflammatory molecules were examined using ELISA. Flow cytometry used measure cell-cycle progression cell apoptotic rate. Caspase 3...
Atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease are characterized by a hyperplastic neointima inflammation involving cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor‑α (TNF‑α). TNF‑α is pleiotropic mediates proliferation in various cell types, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). The molecular mechanism for the effects of has not previously been fully elucidated. current study identified that expression microRNA‑25 (miR‑25), small noncoding RNA, was reduced response to signaling VSMCs. Restored miR‑25...
Abstract The differentiation therapy of breast cancer stem cells (CSCs) represents a significant strategy to treat cancer, but inefficient delivery CSCs hinders the efficacy agents. In this work, we report type functional dendrisomes constructed by synthesized amphiphilic dendrimers, which enhance cellular uptake CSCs, differentiate carrying all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), and increase anticancer ATRA docetaxel (DTX) in vitro cancer-bearing mice. study further reveals mechanism uncovers...
The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) in cortical collecting duct (CCD) principal cells plays a critical role regulating systemic blood pressure. We have previously shown that cholesterol (Cho) the apical cell membrane regulates ENaC; however, underlying mechanism remains unclear.Patch-clamp technique and confocal microscopy were used to evaluate ENaC activity density.Here we show extraction of Cho with methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD) significantly reduced amiloride-sensitive current...
Abstract Cigarette smoking-induced chronic inflammation has been considered a vital driver of lung tumorigenesis. The compounds 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), tobacco-specific carcinogen, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an inflammatory inducer, are important components tobacco smoke which have implicated in inflammation-driven carcinogenesis. However, the biological effects underlying mechanisms LPS-mediated on NNK-induced tumorigenesis still unclear. In this study,...
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) C promoter (Cp) hypermethylation, a crucial factor for EBV latent infection of nasopharyngeal epithelial cells, has been recognized as promising biomarker carcinoma (NPC) detection. In this study, we develop novel Cp methylation quantification (E-CpMQ) assay and evaluate its diagnostic performance NPC
Alpha-lipoic acid (α-LA) is a potent antioxidant that acts as an essential cofactor in mitochondrial dehydrogenase reactions. α-LA has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective properties, used improve symptoms of diabetic neuropathy. However, the role stem cell differentiation underlying molecular mechanisms remain unknown. In present study, we showed significantly promoted dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-induced cardiomyogenic mouse embryonic carcinoma P19 cells. dose...
Airway remodeling is a major pathological characteristic of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study aimed to investigate the effect Abhd2 deficiency on ovalbumin (OVA)-induced airway and inflammation in vivo. Abhd2-deficient mice were used establish an OVA-induced asthma model.
