Hemoglobin is released from lysed RBCs in numerous clinical settings. High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) a nuclear and cytosolic DNA-binding protein injured cells that has been shown to play an important role inducing inflammation. Because both of these endogenous molecules are frequently present sites necrosis inflammation, we studied their interaction on the activation macrophages. We report this article hemoglobin HMGB1 synergize activate mouse macrophages release significantly increased...

MiR-199a-3p (miR-199a) can enhance the chemosensitivity of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Because easy degradation miRNA by direct infusion, effective vehicle-mediated delivery miR-199a may represent a new strategy for improving HCC chemotherapy. Considering mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes as promising natural nanovectors drug and molecule delivery, we aimed to determine whether from adipose tissue-derived MSCs (AMSCs) could be used deliver improve...

Acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver injury (AILI) is a common disease in clinical practice. Only one clinically approved drug, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), for the treatment of AILI available clinics, but novel strategies are still needed due to complicated pathological changes and side effects NAC. Here, we found that astaxanthin (ASX) can prevent through Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. After with ASX, there was positive activation pathway models both vivo vitro accompanied by enhanced autophagy reduced...

Deficiency in autophagy, a lysosome-dependent cell degradation pathway, has been associated with variety of diseases especially cancer. Recently, the activation autophagy by hepatitis B virus X (HBx) protein, which is implicated (HBV)-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), identified hepatic cells. However, underlying mechanism and relevance HBx-activated to carcinogenesis caused HBV remain elusive. Here, transfection genomic DNA HBx hepatoma cells, we showed that HBV- or HBx-induced...

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is characterized by functionally impaired virus‐specific CD 8 + T ‐cell responses. However, the mechanism underlying this dysfunction has not been fully clarified. We examined role of a newly identified protein, immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain‐containing molecule‐3 ( im‐3), in regulating antiviral response CHB patients. im‐3 expression on peripheral cells from 20 patients healthy controls was determined flow cytometry. The phenotypes cytokine‐producing...

Human MxA, an interferon-inducible cytoplasmic dynamin-like GTPase, possesses antiviral activity against multiple RNA viruses. Recently, MxA has also been demonstrated to have the hepatitis B virus (HBV), a well-known DNA responsible for acute and chronic liver disease in humans. We investigated molecular mechanism anti-HBV of MxA. Our results that HepG2.2.15 cells, GTPase independently suppressed production surface antigen HBV without changing level core (HBcAg) distribution mRNA....
