Abstract Inflammation is a key factor in the pathogenesis of dry eye disease (DED). We aimed to investigate role microRNA-146a (miR-146a) regulating corneal inflammation mouse model benzalkonium chloride (BAC)-induced and TNF-α-induced NF-κB signaling pathway human epithelial cells (HCECs). A was established by administering with BAC BALB/c mice, expression TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2), interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1) TNF 6 (TRAF6) corneas mice...

Purpose: Corneal injury (CI) resulting in corneal opacity remains a clinical challenge. Exosomes (Exos) derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been proven effective repairing various tissue injuries and are also considered excellent drug carriers due to their biological properties. Recently, microRNA-29b (miR-29b) was found play an important role the autophagy regulation which correlates with cell inflammation fibrosis. However, effects of miR-29b on CI remain unclear....

Human nuclear cyclophilin 33 (hCyP33) was the first protein which found to contain an RNA‐binding motif and a PPIase domain. It not known what cellular physiological roles are played by activity as well of hCyP33. In this paper, we investigated binding specificity hCyP33 different RNA using ion‐exchange chromatography affinity adsorption. Furthermore, influence RNAs protease‐coupled method. The results show that binds specifically mRNA, namely poly(A) + RNA, stimulates

Abstract The ocular albinism type I (OA1) is clinically characterized by impaired visual acuity, nystagmus, iris hypopigmentation with translucency, albinotic fundus and macular hypoplasia together normally pigmented skin hair. However, it easily misdiagnosed as congenital idiopathic nystagmus in some Chinese patients OA1 caused the G-protein coupled receptor 143 ( GPR143 ) gene mutations. Mutations FERM domain–containing 7 FRMD7 are responsible for X-linked nystagmus. In this study, five...
