Abstract Brain disorders represent a significant challenge in medical science due to the formidable blood–brain barrier (BBB), which severely limits penetration of conventional therapeutics, hindering effective treatment strategies. This review delves into innovative realm biomimetic nanodelivery systems, including stem cell‐derived nanoghosts, tumor cell membrane‐coated nanoparticles, and erythrocyte membrane‐based carriers, highlighting their potential circumvent BBB's restrictions. By...

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are a promising therapeutic target for cancers, but achieving multitarget therapy of TAMs is still challenging. Here, we develop protein-crowned micelle system targeted and synergistic TAM reprogramming to enhance cancer treatment. The doxorubicin-loaded micelles with hemoglobin crown (Hb-DOXM) can bind endogenous plasma haptoglobin realize specific M2-type targeting. Under the tumor hypoxic acidic environments, Hb-DOXM responsively release O2 DOX reduce...

cGMP is considered the only mediator synthesized by soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) in response to nitric oxide (NO). However, purified sGC can synthesize several other cyclic nucleotides, including inosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cIMP). The present study was designed determine role of cIMP hypoxic contractions isolated porcine coronary arteries. Vascular responses were examined measuring isometric tension. Cyclic nucleotides assayed HPLC tandem mass spectroscopy. Rho kinase (ROCK)...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of cancer-related deaths in humans, and effective treatments are still needed clinical practice. Despite significant developments anticancer drugs inhibitors, their poor stability, water solubility, cellular membrane permeability limit therapeutic efficacy. To address these issues, multifunctional CaCO3 nanoparticles loaded with Curcumin (Cur) protein deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor QTX125, coated hyaluronic acid (HA) (CaCO3@Cur@QTX125@HA), were prepared...

Melanoma was the most malignant skin neoplasm with an increasing morbidity around world. Although new immunotherapies and targeted therapies have emerged recently, long-term survival of melanoma patients still remains low. To reveal effective diagnostic methods therapeutic strategies, potential mechanism is urgently needed to be studied. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) become important regulatory factor in occurrence development cancer, it can used as a prognostic marker. In this study, we...

Gastric cancer (GC) is a with high mortality rate. lncRNAs play role in regulating GC tumorigenesis. In this paper, we analyzed differentially expressed between and adjacent normal tissues using multiple bioinformatics tools to identify new potential targets GC. Cell viability migration ability were detected the Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) transwell assays, MIR4435-2HG was negatively correlated survival rate of patients, by inhibiting activity MIR4435-2HG, cells could be reduced. addition, RT-...

Soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) is the principal receptor for nitric oxide (NO) and crucial control of various physiological functions. The β1 subunit sGC obligatory biological stability activity heterodimer. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators gene expression exert great influences on diverse activities. aim present study was to determine whether or not sGCβ1 specifically regulated by miRNAs. We report that miR-34c-5p directly targets under hypoxia. Bioinformatics analysis...

Abstract Astragaloside IV (AS/IV) is one of the extracted components from traditional Chinese medicine Astragalus which has been demonstrated to have potential capacity for anti-inflammation activity and treating cardiovascular disease. Our purpose was determine function underlying molecular mechanism AS/IV in hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injured cardiomyocytes. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened using bioinformatic analysis, targeting relationship verified by dual-luciferase...

Abstract Hypoxic coronary vasospasm may lead to myocardial ischaemia and cardiac dysfunction. Inosine 3′,5′‐cyclic monophosphate (cIMP) is a putative second messenger mediate this pathological process. Nevertheless, it remains unclear as whether levels of cIMP can be regulated in living tissue such artery if so, what the consequence regulation on hypoxia‐induced vasoconstriction. In present study, we found that was key determinant constriction but not subsequent relaxation response porcine...
