Abstract: Anthocyanins are naturally occurring compounds that impart color to fruits, vegetables, and plants. This study aims optimize the microwave‐assisted extraction (MAE) conditions of anthocyanins from mulberry ( M. atropurpurea Roxb.) using response surface methodology (RSM). A Box–Behnken experiment was employed in this regard. Methanol concentration, microwave power, time were chosen as independent variables. The optimized MAE follows: 59.6% acidified methanol, 425 W 25 (v/w)...
Recent studies have shown the role of miRNAs in macrophage reverse cholesterol transport and atherogenesis. We hypothesized that coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) may increase by regulating miRNA expression contributes to prevention atherosclerosis.CoQ10 treatment suppressed oxidized low-density lipoprotein-induced foam cell formation ameliorating binding activator protein-1 putative promoter region miR-378 primary transcript, thus decreasing level enhancing ATP-binding cassette transporter G1-mediated...

This study investigated whether pure inhibit development reduce apolipoprotein E ( A po )‐deficient mice through enhancement fecal bile acid excretion, a critical pathway for eliminating circulation cholesterol body. Methods results Five‐week‐old male ‐deficient...
The proatherogenic effect of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and antiatherogenic high-density (HDL-C) have been confirmed in general population. But controversy arises among coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. goal this study was to identify the association different lipid measurements with CAD prognosis. cohort included 1916 patients who were 40–85 years age. Cox proportional hazards regression models used estimate baseline 6 factors 3 ratios all-cause cardiovascular (CVD)...
We previously found that miR-10b inhibits cholesterol efflux from thioglycollate-elicited mouse peritoneal macrophages through repressing ATP binding cassette transporter (ABCA1). Herein, we deciphered the mechanism underlying macrophage expression and role of in atherosclerosis.MiR-10b was increased arteries with advanced but not early atherosclerotic plaques ApoE-/- mice. Free cholesterol-induced apoptotic cells (FC-AM) promoted resident (RPM) by up-regulation Twist1/2 a Mer receptor...
Endothelial cells (ECs) with senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (SASP) have been identified as a key mechanism of aging that contributes to various age-related kidney diseases. In this study, we used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) create transcriptome atlas murine renal ECs and identify transcriptomic changes occur during aging. We seven different subtypes ECs, glomerular angiogenic being the most affected by senescence. confirmed our scRNA-seq findings using double...
Scope Since protocatechuic acid exerts an atheroprotective role, we investigated how chicory (Cichorium intybus L. var. foliosum, Belgian endive) rich in acid, a typical vegetable Mediterranean diet, affects preestablished atherosclerosis progression. Methods and results Apolipoprotein E‐deficient mice fed AIN diets containing 0.5% freeze‐dried for 10 weeks displayed reduction lesion size with concomitant improvement stability indicated by fewer macrophages more collagen content. Chicory...
Replenishing the retina with retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells derived from pluripotent stem (PSCs) has great promise for treating degenerative diseases, but it is limited by poor cell survival and integration in vivo. Herein, porcine acellular sclera uvea extracellular matrix (ECM) their counterpart hydrogels are developed, effects on biological behavior of human induced (hiPSC)-derived RPE (hiPSC-RPE) embryoid body (hiPSC-EB) differentiation investigated. Both ECM have excellent...
Virus-like particles (VLP) are a promising tool for intracellular gene delivery, yet their potential in ocular therapy remains underexplored. In this study, we bridged knowledge gap by demonstrating the successful generation and application of vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSVG)-pseudotyped mouse PEG10 (MmPEG10)-VLP intraocular mRNA delivery. Our findings revealed that PEG10-VLP can efficiently deliver GFP to adult retinal pigment epithelial cell line-19 (ARPE-19) cells, leading...
Background Large language models (LLMs) demonstrated advanced performance in processing clinical information. However, commercially available LLMs lack specialized medical knowledge and remain susceptible to generating inaccurate Given the need for self-management diabetes, patients commonly seek information online. We introduce Retrieval-augmented Information System Enhancement (RISE) framework evaluate its enhancing provide accurate responses diabetes-related inquiries. Objective This...
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI, EC 5.3.4.1) is a chaperone and catalyzes the formation rearrangement of bonds in proteins. Domain c-(463-491), containing 18 acidic residues, an interesting important C-terminal extension PDI. In this study, PDI mutant abb'a', which domain c truncated, was used to investigate relationship between structure function. Reactivation light-scattering experiments show that both wild-type abb'a' interact with lactate dehydrogenase (LDH, 1.1.1.27), tends...
