Abstract Objectives High‐mobility group box‐1 (HMGB1) and aberrant mitochondrial fission mediated by excessive activation of GTPase dynamin‐related protein 1 (Drp1) have been found to be elevated in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) critically implicated PAH pathogenesis. However, it remains unknown whether Drp1‐mediated which downstream targets mediate HMGB1‐induced smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) proliferation migration leading vascular remodelling PAH. This study aims...

Abstract Alcohol abuse is a significant cause of global morbidity and mortality, with alcoholic liver disease (ALD) being common consequence. The pathogenesis ALD involves various cellular processes, including oxidative stress, inflammation, hepatic cell death. Recently, ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form programmed death, has emerged as potential mechanism in many diseases. However, the specific involvement regulatory mechanisms ferroptosis remain poorly understood. Here we aimed to...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is commonly associated with chronic hypoxemia in disorders such as obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Prostacyclin analogs are widely used the management of PAH patients; however, clinical efficacy and long-term tolerability some prostacyclin may be compromised by concomitant activation E-prostanoid 3 (EP3) receptor. Here, we found that EP3 expression upregulated smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) human distal arteries (PAs) response to hypoxia. Either...

The aims of the present study were to examine signaling mechanisms underlying transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1)-induced airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) proliferation and determine effect adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation on TGF-β1-induced ASMCs its potential mechanisms. TGF-β1 reduced microRNA-206 (miR-206) level by activating Smad2/3, this in turn up-regulated histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) consequently increased cyclin D1 leading proliferation. Prior...

Studies have indicated that the aggregation of activated platelets with cancer cells facilitates tumor metastasis; adhesion molecule P-selectin may be an important mediator this process, but detailed mechanism is unclear. In current study, we established a B16F10 (B16) cell metastatic model in knockout (P-sel-/-) mice to determine effect P-selectin-mediated platelet on metastasis. Compared C57 mice, P-sel-/- developed fewer foci, and proliferation within tumors was inhibited by deficiency....

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a natural multifunctional phospholipid, is highly increased in plasma from patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension and mediates proliferation of artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) by activating the Notch3 signaling pathway. However, mechanisms underpinning S1P-mediated induction PASMCs remain unclear. In this study, using biochemical molecular biology approaches, RNA interference gene expression analyses, 5′-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine incorporation assay,...

Abstract Background Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and GTPase dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1)-dependent aberrant mitochondrial fission are closely linked to the pathogenesis of asthma. However, it is unclear whether Drp1-mediated its downstream targets mediate MIF-induced proliferation airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) in vitro remodeling chronic asthma models. The present study aims clarify these issues. Methods In this study, primary cultured ASMCs ovalbumin (OVA)-induced...

Leucocyte adhesion to the vascular endothelium is a critical event in early inflammatory response infection and injury. This process primarily regulated by expression of cell molecules (CAMs) endothelial cells. It has been well documented that tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) key regulator CAM within this process, but its regulatory mechanism remains controversial. To investigate scenario we assessed role zipper-interacting protein kinase (ZIPK), serine/threonine with multiple substrates,...
