Abstract NF-κB is constitutively activated in psoriatic epidermis. However, how promotes keratinocyte hyperproliferation psoriasis largely unknown. Here we report that the activation triggered by inflammatory cytokines induces transcription of microRNA (miRNA) miR-31, one most dynamic miRNAs identified skin patients and mouse models. The genetic deficiency miR-31 keratinocytes inhibits their hyperproliferation, decreases acanthosis reduces disease severity Furthermore, protein phosphatase 6...

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between gut probiotic flora and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in a diet-induced rat model, compare effects of two different strains on disease. Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into 4 groups for 12 weeks: control (standard chow), model (fat-rich diet), Lactobacillus diet plus acidophilus), Bifidobacterium longum) groups. Probiotics provided drinking water (10(10)/ml). Gut bifidobacteria lactobacilli obviously lower at weeks 8 10,...

Abstract Peripherally derived regulatory T (pT reg ) cell generation requires T-cell receptor (TCR) signalling and the cytokines TGF-β1 IL-2. Here we show that TCR induces microRNA miR-31, which negatively regulates pT -cell generation. miR-31 conditional deletion results in enhanced induction of cells, decreased severity experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Unexpectedly, identify Gprc5a as a direct target miR-31. is known retinoic acid-inducible protein 3, its deficiency leads...

Mitophagy is a major pathway for clearance of injured mitochondria. However, whether mitophagy involved in the cholestasis-induced damages hepatic mitochondria remains unknown. We here aimed to investigate molecular links between cholestasis and mitophagy. show that increased significantly livers biliary atresia (BA) cholestatic disease infants. The mitochondrial-toxicity bile acids treatment increases activities hepatocytes. Mechanistically, we find prohibitin 2 (PHB2) crucial...

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a serious public health problem. The commonly used tests that are specific for current HEV infection diagnosis include the detection of anti-HEV IgM and RNA. Here, we report an improved enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method antigen with linear range equivalent to 6.3 × 10(3) 9.2 10(5) RNA copies per ml. monoclonal antibody (MAb) 12F12, high-ability MAb binds virus, was selected as capture from panel 95 MAbs. positive period antigenemia in infected...

Biliary atresia (BA) is a severe chronic cholestasis disorder of infants that leads to death if not treated on time. Neonatal hepatitis syndrome (NHS) another leading cause neonatal confounding the diagnosis BA. Recent studies indicate altered bile acid metabolism closely associated with liver injury and cholestasis. In this study, we systematically measured metabolome in plasma BA, NHS, healthy controls. Liver acids were also using biopsy samples from 48 BA 16 NHS undergoing operative...

Abstract Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a global epidemic disease that may progress to fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The role of the liver‐bile acid‐microbiota axis in CHB remains unclear. aims this study are elucidate alteration gut microbiota its functions bile acid homeostasis patients with different degrees fibrosis. In present study, we evaluated serum faecal profiles healthy controls biopsy‐proven diagnosis: had stage 0‐1 fibrosis were classified as mild 2‐4...
