The process of rice domestication occurred in the Lower Yangtze region Zhejiang, China, between 6900 and 6600 years ago. Archaeobotanical evidence from site Tianluoshan shows that proportion nonshattering domesticated (Oryza sativa) spikelet bases increased over this period 27% to 39%. Over same period, remains 8% 24% all plant remains, which suggests an consumption relative wild gathered foods. In addition, assemblage annual grasses, sedges, other herbaceous plants indicates presence arable...

Abstract Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as important regulatory molecules at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels may play essential roles in differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC). However, their functions remain unclear. Here, we showed that lncRNA H19 was significantly upregulated after induction osteoblast differentiation. Overexpression promoted osteogenic hMSCs vitro enhanced heterotopic formation vivo, whereas knockdown inhibited...

Abstract Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) exhibit an increased propensity toward adipocyte differentiation accompanied by a reduction in osteogenesis osteoporotic bone marrow. However, limited knowledge is available concerning the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) BMSCs into adipocytes.

Abstract Osteogenic differentiation and bone formation is suppressed under condition of inflammation induced by proinflammation cytokines. A number studies indicate miRNAs play a significant role in tumor necrosis factor-α-induced inhibition formation, but whether long non-coding RNAs are also involved this process remains unknown. In study, we evaluated the MIR31HG osteogenesis human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) vitro vivo. The results suggested that knockdown not only significantly...

Periodontitis is characterized by periodontal pocket formation, loss of attachment, and alveolar bone resorption. Both innate adaptive immunity are involved in the pathogenesis this oral chronic inflammatory disease. Accumulating evidence indicates a critical role leptin diseases. However, mechanism which promotes periodontitis remains unclear. In present study, we observed an elevated expression serum mice compared to that healthy controls. There was higher extent M1 phenotype macrophage...

Adipogenesis plays an important role in the regulation of whole-body energy homeostasis and is inextricably related to obesity. Several studies have highlighted relevance microRNAs adipocyte differentiation, but contributions long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are still largely uncharacterized. Here, we determined that lncRNA MIR31HG lineage commitment. We demonstrated knockdown inhibited whereas overexpression promoted adipogenesis vitro vivo. Furthermore, inhibition reduced enrichment active...

MicroRNA plays an important role in bone tissue engineering; however, its and function osteogenic differentiation warrant further investigation. In this study, we demonstrated that miR-375 was upregulated during the of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASCs). Overexpression significantly enhanced hASCs osteogenesis both vitro vivo, while knockdown inhibited hASCs. Mechanistically, microarray analysis revealed DEPTOR as a target Knockdown accelerated by inhibiting AKT signaling,...
