Diabetic nephropathy is a growing health concern with characteristic sterile inflammation. As the underlying mechanisms of this inflammation remain poorly defined, specific therapies targeting in diabetic are lacking. Intriguingly, an association inflammasome activation has recently been shown, but pathophysiological relevance finding remains unknown. Within glomeruli, was detected endothelial cells and podocytes humans mice glucose-stressed glomerular vitro. Abolishing Nlrp3 or caspase-1...

One of the two branches α-linolenic acid metabolism pathway is catalyzed by 12-oxo-phytodienoic reductase I, and other involved in jasmonic (JA) synthesis. The former known to be active response salinity tolerance wheat (Triticum aestivum), but participation latter this has not been established as yet. Here, salinity-responsive bread gene TaAOC1, which encodes an allene oxide cyclase pathway, was constitutively expressed both Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). In species, transgenic lines...

With the development of RNA-seq technology, tens thousands circular RNAs (circRNAs), a novel class RNAs, have been identified. However, little is known about circRNA formation and biogenesis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).We performed ribosomal-depleted profiling HCC para-carcinoma tissues analyzed expression hotspot derived from 3'UTR stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) gene, termed SCD-circRNA 2.It was significantly upregulated correlated with poor patient prognosis. Moreover, we observed...

The 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid reductases (OPRs) are classified into the two subgroups OPRI and OPRII. latter proteins participate in jasmonic synthesis, while function of former ones is as yet unclear. We describe here characterization gene TaOPR1, isolated from salinity-tolerant bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivar SR3. Salinity stress induced a higher level TaOPR1 expression seedling roots cv SR3 than its parental cultivar, JN177. This induction was abolished when abscisic (ABA)...

The coagulation protease activated protein C (aPC) confers cytoprotective effects in various vitro and vivo disease models, including diabetic nephropathy. nephroprotective effect may be related to antioxidant of aPC. However, the mechanism through which aPC convey these functional relevance properties remain unknown. Here, we show that endogenous exogenous prevents glomerular accumulation oxidative stress markers redox-regulating p66 Shc experimental These were predominately observed...

Hepatitis B virus X (HBx) protein is implicated in hepatitis (HBV)–associated liver carcinogenesis. However, it remains unclear whether HBx–expressing hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs) are attributed to tumor formation. In this study, by using HBx transgenic mice and a 3,5–diethoxycarbonyl–1,4–dihydrocollidine (DDC)–induced injury model, the relationship between expression tumorigenicity of HPCs was analyzed. Compared with control mice, an elevated number EpCAM+ characteristics observed after...
