Background: Obesity plays crucial roles in the development of cardiovascular diseases. However, mechanisms that link obesity and diseases remain elusive. Compelling evidence indicates adipokines play an important role obesity-related Here, we found a new adipokine-named family with sequence similarity 19, member A5 (FAM19A5), protein unknown function was predicted to be distantly related CC-chemokine family. We aimed test whether adipose-derived FAM19A5 regulates vascular pathology on...

Abstract Regulation of neuroinflammation and β‐amyloid (Aβ) production are critical factors in the pathogenesis Alzheimer's disease (AD). Cathepsin E (CatE), an aspartic protease, is widely studied as inducer growth arrest apoptosis several types cancer cells. However, function CatE AD unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that ablation human amyloid precursor protein knock‐in mice, called APP NL−G−F significantly reduced Aβ accumulation, neuroinflammation, cognitive impairments....

Amoxicillin and cefaclor are two of the widely used β-lactam antibiotics in treatment urinary tract infections. Both drugs eliminated mainly by kidney rely on renal excretion to exert their antibacterial activities tract. Previous studies have suggested involvement organic anion oligopeptide transporters membrane transport β-lactams. The objective current study was examine kinetics amoxicillin interactions with human transporter 1 (hOAT1), peptide (hPepT1), 2 (hPepT2) detail, both as...

Zinc finger protein 335 (Zfp335) is a transcription factor that regulates mammalian neurogenesis and neuronal differentiation. It causative for severe microcephaly, small somatic size, neonatal death. Here, we evaluated the effects of Zfp335 in adult mouse brain after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. We used wild-type (WT) knock-down (Zfp335+/- ) mice with LPS administered intracerebral ventricle vivo cultured microglia treated vitro. The impact was by RT-PCR, RNA-sequencing, western...
