Ascl2, a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, is downstream target of WNT signaling that controls the fate intestinal cryptic stem cells and colon cancer progenitor cells. However, its involvement in molecular events largely undefined; particular, mechanism by which Ascl2 regulates plasticity epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) mesenchymal-epithelial (MET) programs remains unknown. In this study, we systematically demonstrate loss function promotes MET derepressing expression...

Spermatogenesis is temperature-dependent, and the increase in testicular temperature seriously affects mammalian spermatogenesis semen quality. In this study, heat stress model of mice was made with a 43 °C water bath for 25 min, effects on quality spermatogenesis-related regulators were analyzed. On 7th day after stress, testis weight shrank to 68.45% sperm density dropped 33.20%. High-throughput sequencing analysis showed that 98 microRNAs (miRNAs) 369 mRNAs down-regulated, while 77 miRNAs...

Abstract Recent studies have demonstrated functions of miR-145 in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) phenotypes and diseases. In this study, we aim to determine whether CD40 is involved mediated switch VSMC phenotypes. cultured VSMCs, the effects on TNF-α, TGF-β, Homocysteine (Hcy) induced cell proliferation were evaluated by over-expression or siRNA-mediated knockdown CD40. We also used ultrasound imaging explore effect carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT) atherosclerotic cerebral...

tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs), a novel type of non-coding RNA derived from tRNAs, play an important part in governing gene expressions at post-transcriptional level. To date, the regulatory mechanism tRFs fat deposition and adipogenesis is completely unknown. In this study, high diet was employed to induce obese rat model, transcriptome sequencing conducted identify differentially expressed that response obesity. We found out tRFGluTTC, which promoted preadipocyte proliferation by increasing...
