Circular RNAs are a class of regulatory RNA transcripts, which ubiquitously expressed in eukaryotes. In the current study, we evaluate function novel circRNA derived from β-catenin gene locus, circβ-catenin. Circβ-catenin is predominantly localized cytoplasm and displays resistance to RNase-R treatment. We find that circβ-catenin highly liver cancer tissues when compared adjacent normal tissues. Silencing significantly suppresses malignant phenotypes vitro vivo, knockdown this reduces...

AbstractOsteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is a complex process, which regulated by various factors including microRNAs. Our preliminary data showed that the expression endogenous miR-20a was increased during course osteogenic differentiation. Simultaneously, osteoblast markers and regulators BMP2, BMP4, Runx2, Osx, OCN OPN also elevated whereas adipocyte PPARγ antagonist, Bambi Crim1, were downregulated, thereby suggesting plays an important role in regulating To...

Bone homeostasis is tightly orchestrated and maintained by the balance between osteoblasts osteoclasts. Recent studies have greatly expanded our understanding of molecular mechanisms cellular differentiation. However, functional roles non-coding RNAs particularly lncRNAs in remodeling bone architecture remain elusive. In study, lncRNA H19 was found to be upregulated during osteogenesis hMSCs. Stable expression significantly accelerated vivo vitro osteoblast Meanwhile, using bioinformatic...

Abstract We report increased modification of proteins by 4‐hydroxynoneal (HNE), a product membrane lipid peroxidation, in the lumbar spinal cord sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients versus that neurologically normal controls. By immunohistochemistry, HNE‐protein was detected ventral horn motor neurons, and immunoprecipitation analysis revealed one modified HNE astrocytic glutamate transporter EAAT2. Given function can be severely compromised as previously demonstrated for...

Calcium influx through NMDA receptors and voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCC) mediates an array of physiological processes in neurons may also contribute to neuronal degeneration death neurodegenerative conditions such as stroke severe epileptic seizures. Gelsolin is a Ca2+-activated actin-severing protein that expressed neurons, wherein it mediate motility responses Ca2+ influx. Primary hippocampal cultured from mice lacking gelsolin exhibited decreased actin filament depolymerization...

Telomerase is a protein-RNA enzyme complex that adds six-base DNA sequence (TTAGGG) to the ends of chromosomes and thereby prevents their shortening. Reduced telomerase activity associated with cell differentiation accelerated cellular senescence, whereas increased transformation immortalization. Because many types cancer have been reduced apoptosis, senescence we tested hypothesis mechanistically involved in regulation apoptosis. Levels cultured pheochromocytoma cells decreased prior death...

The bcl-2 protooncogene product possesses antiapoptotic properties in neuronal and nonneuronal cells. Recent data suggest that Bcl-2's potency as a survival factor hinges on its ability to suppress oxidative stress, but neither the subcellular site(s) nor mechanism of action is known. In this report electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy analyses were used investigate local effects Bcl-2 membrane lipid peroxidation. Using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) amyloid beta-peptide (A beta)...

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which serve as important and powerful regulators of various biological activities, have gained widespread attention in recent years. Emerging evidence has shown that some lncRNAs play regulatory roles osteoblast differentiation mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for bone fracture. As recently identified lncRNA, linc-ROR was reported to mediate the reprogramming ability differentiated into induced pluripotent (iPSCs) human...
