Notoginsenoside R1 (NGR1) is a predominant phytoestrogen extracted from Panax notoginseng that has recently been reported to play important roles in the treatment of cardiac dysfunction, diabetic kidney disease, and acute liver failure. Studies have suggested NGR1 may be viable hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) neonates by reducing endoplasmic reticulum stress via estrogen receptors (ERs). However, whether other neuroprotective mechanisms or long-term effects unclear. In this study,...

Microglia/macrophages are activated after cerebral ischemic stroke and can contribute to either brain injury or recovery by polarizing microglia/macrophage into distinctive functional phenotypes with pro- anti-inflammatory properties. Interleukin-13 (IL-13) is an cytokine that regulates polarization toward phenotype. However, it not clear whether IL-13 beneficial long-term the underlying molecular mechanism(s) remain unknown. Thus, we examined effect of on in mice transient middle artery...

The accumulation of self-renewed polarized microglia in the penumbra is a critical neuroinflammatory process after ischemic stroke, leading to secondary demyelination and neuronal loss. Although known regulate tumor cell proliferation neuroinflammation, HDAC3's role microgliosis microglial polarization remains unclear. We demonstrated that HDAC3 knockout (HDAC3-miKO) ameliorated poststroke long-term functional histological outcomes. RNA-seq analysis revealed mitosis as primary affected...

Abstract Cancer immunotherapeutic agents (vaccines) in the form of antigen‐loaded dendritic cells (DCs) reached an important milestone with recent approval Provenge, first DC vaccine for treatment prostate cancer. Although this heralds a new era tumor immunotherapy, it also highlights compelling need to optimize such DC‐based therapies as they are increasingly tested and used treat human patients. In study we sought augment enhance antitumor activity using siRNA silence expression...

Microglia play essential roles in neuroinflammatory responses after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Our previous studies showed that phenotypes of microglia, as well infiltrating macrophages, altered at different stages CNS injury, which was correlated to functional outcomes. IL-13 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine has been reported protect against demyelination and spinal cord through immunomodulation. The effects microglia/macrophage-mediated immune TBI remain unknown. In this study, we...

Abstract Background Erectile dysfunction (ED) is associated with inflammation. The systematic immune‐inflammation index (SII), as a new inflammation marker, was applied to predict the risk of diseases. However, no research explores relationship between SII and ED. Hence, purpose this study investigate association Methods Related data were obtained from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001−2004. Based on self‐report, all participants classified into ED non‐ED group....

Background: In a previous study, we found that melatonin inhibits MG-63 osteosarcoma cell proliferation; however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and Akt signaling pathways play key roles in anticancer effects of melatonin. Aims: The present study investigated whether MAPK are involved melatonin's antiproliferative actions on human cells. Methods/Results: Western blot analysis confirmed significantly inhibited phosphorylation ERK1/2 but not...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, non-coding RNAs, which exert crucial functions in regulating biological progressions. Previous studies have demonstrated the anti-tumor effect of miRNA-215-5p. However, its specific role influencing progression prostate cancer (PCa) remains unclear. This study aims to uncover regulatory miRNA-215-5p on metastasis and prognosis PCa.

Previous studies suggested that anti-inflammatory microglia/macrophages (Mi/MΦ) play a role in "normal phagocytosis," which promoted the rapid clearance of necrotic substances and apoptotic cells. More recently, few have found Mi/MΦ also "pathological phagocytosis" form excessive or reduced phagocytosis, thereby worsening damage induced by CNS diseases. However, underlying mechanisms subtypes related to this pathological phagocytosis are still unknown. Salt-inducible kinase 3 (SIK3), member...
