Neural activity actively regulates muscle gene expression. This regulation is crucial for specifying functionality and synaptic protein How neural relayed into nuclei connected to the transcriptional machinery, however, not known. Here we identify histone deacetylase HDAC4 as critical linker connecting transcription. We found that normally concentrated at neuromuscular junction (NMJ), where nerve innervates muscle. Remarkably, reduced input by surgical denervation or diseases dissociates...

Abstract Background Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to alleviate acute lung injury (ALI) via paracrine hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and induce the differentiation of dendritic (DCs) into tolerogenic (DCregs) participate in immune response. However, whether MSCs production DCregs by secreting HGF early ALI remains unclear. We observed that protective effect mouse bone marrow-derived against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced was achieved inducing mature DCs (mDCs) differentiate...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from bone marrow have potent stabilizing effects for the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, low efficiency and survival in MSC homing to injured lung tissue remains be solved. Therefore, aim this study was assess whether large intergenic noncoding RNA (LincRNA)-p21 promote migration capacity through hypoxic preconditioning vitro.MSCs were cultured divided into normoxia culture group (20% O2) hypoxia (1% O2). To determine...

Exposure to ozone has been associated with metabolic disorders in humans, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, role of gut-liver axis and potential behind disorder were investigated by histological examination, microbiome metabolome approaches mice during subacute (4-week) subchronic (12-week) exposure 0.5 ppm 2.5 ozone. Ozone resulted slowed weight gain reduced hepatic lipid contents a dose-dependent manner. After ozone, number goblet cells decreased, while tuft...

The ubiquitin–proteasome pathway has been implicated in synaptic development and plasticity. However, mechanisms by which ubiquitination contributes to precise dynamic control of plasticity are poorly understood. We have identified a PDZ domain containing RING finger 3 (PDZRN3) as synapse-associated E3 ubiquitin ligase demonstrated that it regulates the surface expression muscle-specific receptor tyrosine kinase (MuSK), key organizer postsynaptic at mammalian neuromuscular junction. PDZRN3...

BackgroundThe p53 tumour suppressor protein is a transcription factor that prevents oncogenic progression by activating the expression of apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest genes in stressed cells. The stability tightly regulated ubiquitin-dependent degradation, driven mainly its negative regulators ubiquitin ligase MDM2. Principal FindingsIn this study, we have identified OTUD5 as DUB interacts with deubiquitinates p53. forms direct complex controls level ubiquitination. function required to...

Abstract Background Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to alleviate acute lung injury (ALI) and induce the production of regulatory dendritic (DCregs), but potential link between these two cell types remains unclear. The goal this study was investigate effect mechanism MSC-induced in ALI mice.

Certain sub-groups, including men and obese individuals, are more susceptible to ozone (O3) exposure, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, male mice were divided into two dietary groups: one fed a high-fat diet (HFD), mimicking obesity conditions, other normal (ND), then exposed 0.5 ppm 2 O3 for 4 hours per day over days. The HFD exhibited significantly higher body weight serum lipid biochemical indicators compared ND mice. Obese also severe pulmonary...

Aeromonas veronii is a vital zoonotic pathogen known for its extensive drug resistance and ability to form biofilms, which contribute antibiotic resistance. In this study, the phage vB_C4, specifically targeting A. veronii, was isolated subjected bioinformatic analysis bacteriostatic activity assays. The combination of vB_C4 with antibiotics such as cephalothin cefoxitin, target bacterial cell wall, resulted in significantly enhanced effect compared either or alone. Furthermore, dosage...
