Abstract Acute lung injury (ALI) is a complication of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Sitagliptin (SIT) DPP4 inhibitor that exerts anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects; however, its mechanism action in SAP-ALI remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects SIT on specific pathways involved SAP-induced inflammation, including oxidative stress, autophagy, p62–Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)–NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signalling pathways. Nrf2 knockout (Nrf2...

Ferroptosis is a new type of cell death that has been recognized in recent years and different from apoptosis, autophagy, necrosis. It mainly due to cellular iron homeostasis lipid peroxidation metabolism caused by large accumulation. There close correlation between ferroptosis hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study shows the expression long noncoding RNA HEPFAL was reduced HCC tissues. We found lncRNA can promote reducing solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) increasing levels...

Abstract Background Ferroptosis is an important iron‐dependent form of cell death in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Sorafenib, a potent ferroptosis inducer, used to treat advanced HCC but its efficacy limited by the development drug resistance. Methods The effects DUXAP8 expression on progression were evaluated TCGA database, Kaplan‐Meier analysis, and situ hybridization analysis. Sorafenib resistant lines modeled vitro study regulation induced sorafenib. We RNA pull‐down,...

Previous research has reported that the gut microbiota performs an essential role in sleep through microbiome-gut-brain axis. However, causal association between and remains undetermined.We performed a two-sample, bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using genome-wide study summary data of self-reported traits from MiBioGen consortium UK Biobank to investigate relationships 119 bacterial genera seven sleep-associated traits. We calculated effect estimates by inverse-variance...

Abstract Background Vascular calcification (VC) is a complication in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. Osteogenic phenotype switching of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) plays critical role diabetes-related VC. Mitophagy can inhibit VSMCs. This study aimed to investigate the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist exendin 4 (EX4) mitophagy-induced switching. Materials and methods The status VC T2DM mice was monitored using Von Kossa Alizarin Red S (ARS) staining mouse aortic...

Inflammation and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the key events in intimal hyperplasia. This study aimed to explore mechanism by which long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) KCNQ1OT1 affects VSMC inflammation this context. A vein graft (VG) model was established mice introduce Isolated normal VSMCs were induced with platelet-derived growth factor type BB (PDGF-BB), cell proliferation, migration, secretion inflammatory factors determined. The results showed that downregulated...

Dendritic cell-cytokine-induced killer (DC-CIK) cell therapy has been experimentally implemented for enhancing anti-tumoral immunity in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing postoperative transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (POTACE). We performed a retrospective study to evaluate the clinical efficacies of DC-CIK and its correlations several immune factors primary tumors. The overall survival time HCC HBV infection group (POTACE plus therapy) was significantly longer...

T cells survival, proliferation, and anti-tumor response are closely linked to their mitochondrial health. Complement C1q binding protein (C1QBP) promotes fitness through regulation of metabolism morphology. However, whether C1QBP regulates cell immune function remains unclear. Our data demonstrated that knockdown induced the accumulation reactive oxygen species (ROS) loss membrane potential impair fitness. At same time, insufficiency reduced recruitment anti-apoptotic proteins, including...

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a primary liver malignancy and characterized by highly aggressive malignant biological behavior. Currently, effective treatment strategies are limited. The effect of lenvatinib on ICC unknown. In this study, we found that AZGP1 was the key target in ICC, its low expression cancer tissues associated with poor prognosis patients. Lenvatinib novel agonist candidate for inhibits ICC-EMT regulating TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathway an AZGP1-dependent manner....

One of the most common types neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) is Lewy body disease (LBD), which characterized by excessive accumulation α-synuclein (α-syn) in neurons and affects around 6 million individuals globally. In recent years, due to environmental factors that can affect development this condition, such as exposure herbicides pesticides, so it has become a younger disease. Currently, vast majority studies on neurotoxic effects paraquat (PQ) focus late mechanisms neuronal-glial...
