Mitochondria are key regulators of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) homeostasis. Our research identifies the transcription factor Nynrin as a crucial regulator HSC maintenance by modulating mitochondrial function. is highly expressed in HSCs under both steady-state and stress conditions. The knockout diminishes frequency, dormancy, self-renewal, with increased dysfunction indicated abnormal mPTP opening, swelling, elevated ROS levels. These changes reduce radiation tolerance promote...

The oncogene DEK is found fused with the NUP214 gene creating oncoprotein DEK-NUP214 that induces acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in patients, and secreted protein functions as a hematopoietic cytokine to regulate hematopoiesis; however, intrinsic role of nuclear stem cells (HSCs) remains largely unknown. Here, we show HSCs lacking display defects long-term self-renew capacity, eventually resulting impaired hematopoiesis. deficiency reduces quiescence accelerates mitochondrial metabolism HSCs,...

Formaldehyde (FA) is a common environmental contaminant that has toxic effects on the central nervous system (CNS). Our previous data demonstrated hydrogen sulfide (H2S), third endogenous gaseous mediator, protective against FA-induced neurotoxicity. As known to all, Brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF), member of neurotrophin gene family, mediates its neuroprotective properties via various intracellular signaling pathways triggered by activating tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB)....

Background Formaldehyde (FA) induces neurotoxicity by overproduction of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Increasing studies have shown that hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an endogenous gastransmitter, protects nerve cells against oxidative stress its antioxidant effect. It has been nitric oxide (NO) inhibits the activity cystathionine-beta-synthase (CBS), predominant H2S-generating enzyme in central nervous system. Objective We hypothesize FA-caused involves deficiency this protective...

Abstract Forkhead box M1 (FoxM1) transcriptional factor has a principal role in regulating cell proliferation, self-renewal, and tumorigenesis. However, whether FoxM1 regulates endogenous muscle development regeneration remains unclear. Here we found that loss of satellite cells (SCs) resulted atrophy defective regeneration. functioned as direct transcription activator adenomatous polyposis coli (Apc), preventing hyperactivation wnt/β-catenin signaling during overexpression SCs promoted...

Both sunitinib, a multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) and propranolol, non-selective β-blocker, have proven therapeutic effects on malignant melanoma (MM). This study reports synergistic effect of propranolol sunitinib upon A375, P8 MM cell lines mice xenografts. Cell viability assays detected significant decrease IC50 in combination with which was confirmed by colony formation assay.

Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Thrombolytic therapy improves disability survival rates; however, to be effective, it must given within 4.5 h onset. Moreover, thrombolytic frequently contraindicated. Therefore, alternative therapeutic options are required. In China, cinepazide maleate injection has been shown improve the cerebral collateral circulation further reduce in patients; very few studies investigating this have conducted date. study aimed confirm...

Zinc finger protein 521 (Zfp521), a quiescent hematopoietic stem cell (HSC)-enriched transcription factor, is involved in the self-renewal and differentiation of fetal liver HSC. However, its role adult hematopoiesis remains elusive. Here, we found that Zfp521 deletion did not inhibit under homeostatic conditions. In contrast, Zfp521-null chimeric mice showed significantly reduced pool size HSC progenitor cells associated with increased apoptosis loss quiescence. Competitive serial...
