Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious disease characterized by rapid decline in function. Oxidative stress the primary pathogenesis of AKI. Salvianolic acid B (SalB), water-soluble compound extracted from Salvia miltiorrhiza, possesses potent antioxidant activity. Here, we investigated protective effect SalB against renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) mice. Briefly, analyzing function, oxidative markers and inflammatory biomarkers, found that could improve damage, reduce factor levels....

Mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN) is the most common type of chronic kidney diseases in China, characterized by mesangial cells proliferation and inflammatory response. Paeoniflorin, an effective composition extracted from Radix Paeoniae Alba, has been used for various kinds many years. However, there are no studies reporting effects paeoniflorin on MsPGN. The present study aimed to investigate whether plays a role MsPGN confirm underlying molecular mechanisms. Our results...

Renal fibrosis is a kind of progressive kidney disease leading to end-stage renal damage. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) one the crucial features fibrosis. Salvianolic acid B (SalB), isolated from traditional Chinese medicine Radix Salviae miltiorrhizae, has been proved be suitable for protection. The aims this study are investigate pharmacological effects SalB on and explore underlying mechanisms. In vivo, our showed that could improve dysfunction reduce expression EMT-related...

Summary Lettuce is one of the most important vegetables worldwide. Bolting time an agronomic trait in lettuce production. Premature bolting reduces crop quality and marketability. Here, we genetically clone LsBLH2 gene controlling lettuce. encodes a BEL1‐like homeodomain protein. In late parent, had 1‐bp deletion exon 1 which leads to premature stop codon. CRISPR/cas9 knocking out complementary tests showed that loss‐of‐function delays ChIP‐seq, expression phytohormone analysis regulates...

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is one of the most frequent kinds primary glomerulonephritis characterized by IgA immune complexes deposition and glomerular proliferation. Zhen-wu-tang (ZWT), a well-known traditional Chinese formula has been reported to ameliorate various kidney diseases. However, its pharmacological mechanism remains unclear. Exosomes have described in diverse renal diseases mediating cellular communication but rarely IgAN. The purpose present study explore whether...

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), an autoimmune renal disease with complicated pathogenesis, is one of the principal reasons for end-stage in clinic. Evidence has linked apparent alterations components microbiome and metabolome to rats. However, thus far, there insufficient evidence that supports potential relationship between gut microbiome, circulating metabolites, IgAN. This study was designed probe effects IgAN on intestinal microecology metabolic phenotypes understand possible...

As an essential trace element for organisms, zinc participates in various physiological processes, such as RNA transcription, DNA replication, cell proliferation, and differentiation. The destruction of homeostasis is associated with diseases. Zinc controlled by the cooperative action transporter proteins that are responsible influx efflux zinc. mainly categorized into two families: Zrt/Irt-like protein (SLC39A/ZIP) family (SLC30A/ZNT) family. ZIP transporters contain 14 members, namely...

Lupus nephritis (LN) is one of the most common and severe manifestations systemic lupus erythematosus, leading to permanent renal damage chronic kidney disease. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) serves a protective role against lupus-associated clinical medical complications; however, it results in numerous adverse reactions, limiting its long‑term use. The aim present study was investigate combined effect HCQ artemisinin (ART) on LN, elucidate underlying mechanisms. An vivo LN mouse model prepared,...

Astragaloside IV(AS‐IV), a saponin purified from Astragalus membranaceus ( Fisch .) Bge.var.mongholicus (Bge.) Hsiao, has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. However, the underlying mechanisms treating chronic glomerular nephritis (CGN) have not fully understood. The aim of present study was to evaluate potential mechanism AS‐IV on CGN. CGN rats were administrated with at 10 mg·kg −1 ·d (ASL) and 20 (ASH). Twenty four hour proteinuria, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum...
