Enterovirus-induced myocardial injury can lead to severe heart failure. To date, little is known about the early innate stress response that contributes host defense in heart. Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) important initiation of antiviral response. We investigated involvement TLR3, which recognizes viral double-stranded RNA, on encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) infection. examine contribution TLR3 protection from EMCV infection, we infected mice deficient with 50 plaque-forming units EMCV....

Apolipoprotein (apo) C-III plays a regulatory role in VLDL lipolysis and clearance. In this study, we determined potential intracellular of apoC-III hepatic assembly secretion. Stable expression recombinant McA-RH7777 cells resulted increased secretion efficiency VLDL-associated triacylglycerol (TAG) apoB-100 gene-dosage-dependent manner. The stimulatory effect on TAG was manifested only when were cultured under lipid-rich (i.e., media supplemented with exogenous oleate) but not lipid-poor...

Impaired hepatic phosphatidylcholine (PC) synthesis lowers plasma lipids. We, therefore, tested the hypothesis that lack of phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT), a enzyme catalyzing PC biosynthesis, attenuates development atherosclerosis.Mice deficient in both PEMT and low-density lipoprotein receptors (Pemt(-/-)/Ldlr(-/-) mice) were fed high-fat/high-cholesterol diet for 16 weeks. Atherosclerotic lesion area was approximately 80% lower (P<0.01) Pemt(-/-)/Ldlr(-/-) mice than...

In-Stent Restenosis (ISR) is the major reason for recurrent ischemia and amputation after endovascular treatment of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). Our previous study demonstrated that miR-140-3p significantly down-regulated in PAD arteries. However, expression function ISR human are currently unclear.The aim this to determine its regulative role PAD.The RNA level was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) situ hybridization. Primary cultured ASMCs were...

Selenium (Se) is an important trace element in human and animal health. Approximately 0.5–1 billion people worldwide are facing Se deficiency which can result various endemic diseases. Cabbage one of the most popular vegetables accumulate through biofortification. Therefore, producing Se-enriched cabbage may be effective method to alleviate deficiency. In this study, effects different concentrations selenite application on growth nutritional quality were investigated results showed that was...

Melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) is implicated in the initiation and maintenance of neuropathic pain. Although effect MC4R on pain known, it remains unclear how mediates In vitro activates mitogen-activated kinase (MAPK). Accordingly, we investigate whether p38MAPK cascade vivo to trigger behavior Wistar rats after chronic constriction injury (CCI). Intrathecal injection antagonist HS014 (5 μg/day) at moment CCI for seven days attenuated thermal hyperalgesia mechanical allodynia. Similarly,...

Background: Neuropathic pain is characterised by spontaneous ongoing or shooting and evoked amplified responses after noxious non-noxious stimuli. develops as a result of lesions disease affecting the somatosensory nervous system either in periphery centrally. Melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) plays an important role initiation neuropathic but underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Methods: Adult male Wistar rats were given chronic constriction injury (CCI) sham operations. Part CCI...

Background: Neuropathic pain can develop after nerve injury, when deleterious changes occur in injured neurons and glia cells. Melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) was involved the regulation of due to its high expressions brain. Moreover, MC4R could mediate c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway, but whether MC4R-regulated JNK pathway participated neuropathic chronic constriction injury (CCI) is still unclear. Methods: 128 Sprague-Dawley rats were allocated into experiment groups: SHAM...
