Abstract Background Mesenchymal stem cells including adipose-derived (ASCs) have a considerable potential in the field of translational medicine. Unfortunately, multiple factors (e.g., older age, co-existing diabetes, and obesity) may impair cellular function, which hinders overall effectiveness autologous cell therapy. Noncoding RNAs—including microRNAs (miRNAs), long ncRNAs (lncRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs)—have been shown to play important roles biology. However, diabetes-related...

Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disease. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that mediate post-transcriptional regulation of target genes. Although miRNAs extensively edited in human brains, the editome brains HD patients largely unknown. By analyzing RNA sequencing profiles brain tissues 28 and 83 normal controls, 1182 miRNA editing sites with significant levels were identified. In addition to 27 A-to-I sites, we identified 3 conserved C-to-U patients. 30 SNPs also...

N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) has been proposed to be used treat Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). By reviewing the existing pathological studies of COVID-19, it was found that abundant mucus secretion, formation a hyaline membrane (supportive acute respiratory distress syndrome), and interstitial fibrous exudation may important characteristics COVID-19 targets drug therapy. In addition, multiple extrapulmonary organ injuries in COVID- 19 associated with cytokine storm. NAC is an antioxidant...

A recent global scale study found that mining-impacted environments have multi-antibiotic resistance gene (ARG)-dominated resistomes with an abundance similar to urban sewage but much higher than freshwater sediment. These findings raised concern mining may increase the risk of ARG environmental proliferation. The current assessed how typical multimetal(loid)-enriched coal-source acid mine drainage (AMD) contamination affects soil by comparing background soils unaffected AMD. Both...

Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) can differentiate into Schwann (SCs) at the site of nerve injury, where cell-derived exosomes (SC-Exos) are suspected to exert an induction effect. Our study aimed induce differentiation ADSCs in vitro using SC-Exos and investigate mechanisms involved through miRNA sequencing. Subcutaneous fat was used extract ADSCs. Exosomes were extracted from cell lines (RSC96) ultracentrifugation able be taken up by human After 8 days SC-Exos, phenotypic characteristics...

Abstract In spite of the promising initial treatment responses presented by photodynamic therapy (PDT), 5‐year recurrence rates remain high level. Therefore, improvement in efficacy PDT is needed. There are reports showing that connexin(Cx) 26‐composed gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) enhances propagation “death signal”, thereby increasing chemotherapeutic cytotoxicity. However, it unclear whether Cx26‐formed GJIC has an effect on phototoxicity. The results present study...
