Plasmid-encoded toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are known for their role in plasmid maintenance via post-segregational killing. Here, we identified an inactive type II TA system, MtvT/MtvA (MtvTA), encoded on the conjugative pPAD8 from clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAD8. Despite its annotation as a toxin, MtvT exhibited no detectable toxicity our assays. Interestingly, deletion of MtvTA significantly increased transfer efficiency PAD8 to P. PAO1. Functional assays revealed that complex...
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), a gut-derived peptide, has been reported to have profound effects on metabolism and reduce insulin resistance. Adipocyte hyperplasia stimulated by preadipocyte differentiation positive effect adipose tissue sensitivity. However, it remains less clear whether GLP-1 plays role in adipogenesis. In this study, we examined the of investigated mechanisms that may be involved effect. our 3T3-L1 cell tested levels adipocyte-specific markers signaling pathways during...
Abstract The genetic basis and corresponding clinical relevance of prolactinomas remain poorly understood. Here, we perform whole genome sequencing (WGS) on 21 patients with to detect somatic mutations then validate the digital polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis tissue samples from 227 prolactinomas. We identify same hotspot mutation in splicing factor 3 subunit B1 ( SF3B1 R625H ) 19.8% These mutant display higher prolactin (PRL) levels p = 0.02) shorter progression-free survival (PFS)...
microRNA (miR)-92b is an oncogenic miRNA. F-box and WD-40 domain protein 7 (FBXW7/hCdc4) a tumor suppressor target of miR-92b-3p. This study was designed to investigate the effect miR-92b-3p on colorectal carcinoma (CRC) invasion. The expression levels in human HT29, HCT116, fetal colon (FHC) normal cells were detected. HT29 HCT116 transfected with either inhibitor or FBXW7 plasmids (pcDNA-FBXW7) combination siRNA-FBXW7. Cell viability, migration, invasion, colony formation, cell cycle,...
Inflammation plays an important role in atherosclerosis. Arginase I (Arg I) promotes the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells; however, effect Arg on inflammation remains unknown. The present study investigated vitro and vivo.Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction Western blot analysis demonstrated that inhibited tumor necrosis factor-α production induced by lipopolysaccharide human aortic cells. Inducible nitric oxide synthase substrate competition nuclear...
Abstract Atherosclerosis begins as local inflammation of arterial walls at sites disturbed flow, such vessel curvatures and bifurcations with low shear stress. c-Jun NH 2 -terminal kinase (JNK) is a major regulator flow-dependent gene expression in endothelial cells atherosclerosis. However, little known about the vivo role JNK stress We aimed to observe effect on stress-induced atherogenesis apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE −/− ) mice investigate potential mechanism human umbilical vein...
Objective . To investigate changes in the glycated hemoglobin A1c (A1c) level and those β cell function insulin resistance newly diagnosed drug naive type 2 diabetes patients to evaluate relationship between them. Design Methods A total of 818 diabetic individuals who were ≥40 years age recruited. The subjects grouped by values (<6.5%, 6.5–7%, 7-8%, 8-9%, ≥9%). homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) was used pancreatic (HOMA- ) (HOMA-IR). ANOVA,<mml:math...
Advances in the understanding of growth hormone-producing adenomas (GHomas) are ongoing, but current therapy is limited by moderate and variable efficacy need life-long treatment. In this study, molecular signaling pathway related to GHoma was investigated proteomics transcriptomics. The differentially expressed proteins genes were significantly enriched Extracellular Matrix-Receptor Interactions, Notch Signaling, Basal Cell Carcinoma JAK-STAT3, Wnt Signaling Glioblastoma Multiforme...
Pituitary adenomas exhibit a wide range of behaviors. The prediction invasion or malignant behavior in pituitary remains challenging. objective the present study was to identify genetic abnormalities associated with sporadic adenomas. In study, exomes six invasive (IPA) and non‑invasive (nIPA) were sequenced by whole‑exome sequencing. Variants confirmed dideoxynucleotide sequencing, candidate driver genes assessed an additional 28 A total 15 identified variants mainly angiogenesis,...
Abstract Aims The aims of this study were to evaluate the associations metabolic abnormalities with incident diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and explore whether dyslipidaemia, particularly high fasting triglyceride (TG), was associated development DKD. Methods In total, 11 142 patients new‐onset type 2 diabetes baseline estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m followed up during 2011‐2016. Incident DKD defined as eGFR <60 at follow‐up. Multiple logistic regression...
Pituitary tumors are monoclonal adenomas that account for about 10-15% of intracranial tumors.Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) regulates the activities various proteins and cellular processes in nervous system, but its potential roles pituitary poorly understood.The activity CDK5 requires association with an activating protein, p35 (also known as activator 1, p35).Here, we show functional CDK5, associated p35, is present normal human tumors.Furthermore, mRNA protein levels were higher than...
Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a group of covalently closed non-coding RNAs, serve critical regulatory roles in many human cancers, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The purpose this study was to investigate the functional role circular RNA ITCH (circ-ITCH) OSCC and underlying mechanisms.RT-qPCR analysis applied detect expression levels circ-ITCH tissues lines. MTT assay flow cytometer were used evaluate effects overexpression on proliferation apoptosis cells. Bioinformatics...
A bone-invasive pituitary adenoma exhibits aggressive behavior, leading to a worse prognosis. We have found that TNF-α promotes bone invasion by facilitating the differentiation of osteoclasts, however, before invades tissue, it needs penetrate dura mater, and this mechanism is not yet clear.
Background: Atherosclerosis begins as local inflammation of vessels at sites disturbed flow, where low shear stress (LSS) leads to mechanical irritation and plaque development progression. Nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) is associated with the response during atherosclerosis. We investigated role underlying mechanism PARP-1 in LSS-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Methods results: HUVECs were simulated by LSS (0.4 Pa). expression was inhibited...
