Abstract The KEAP1-NRF2 axis is the principal regulator of cellular responses to oxidative and electrophilic stressors. NRF2 hyperactivation frequently observed in many types cancer promotes initiation, progression, metastasis, resistance various therapies. Here, we determined that dipeptidyl peptidase 9 (DPP9) a pathway clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC). DPP9 was markedly overexpressed at mRNA protein levels ccRCC, high expression correlated with advanced tumor stage poor prognosis...

Abstract In recent years, the environmental health issue of microplastics has aroused an increasingly significant concern. Some studies suggested that exposure to polystyrene (PS-MPs) may lead renal inflammation and oxidative stress in animals. However, little is known about essential effects PS-MPs with high-fat diet (HFD) on development microenvironment. this study, we provided single-cell transcriptomic landscape kidney microenvironment induced by HFD mouse models unbiased RNA sequencing...

Recent studies have discovered that tiny particles of microplastics (MPs) at the nano-scale level can enter body organisms from environment, potentially causing metabolic ailments. However, further investigation is required to understand alterations in immune microenvironment associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) occurrence following exposure MPs. Experiments were performed using mice, which given a normal chow or high-fat diet (NCD HFD, respectively) plus free drinking...

The pathologic significance of the circular RNA DDIT4 (circDDIT4), which is formed by backsplicing at 3'-untranslated region (UTR) with a 5' splice acceptor site in exon 2 linear mRNA, has yet to be determined. Our study found that circDDIT4 downregulated prostate cancer and functions as tumor suppressor during progression. By competitively binding ELAV-like protein 1 (ELAVL1/HuR) through its 3'-UTR, acts sponge decrease expression cancer-overexpressed anoctamin 7 (ANO7). This promotes cell...
