It has been established that reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as H2O2 or superoxide anion is involved in bone loss-related diseases by stimulating osteoclast differentiation and resorption receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) a critical osteoclastogenic factor expressed on stromal/osteoblastic cells. However, the roles ROS RANKL expression signaling mechanisms through which regulates genes are not known. Here we report increased intracellular levels xanthine/xanthine...

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) the etiology of which has not yet been fully clarified. Cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) plays a central role in downregulating cascade UC and likely candidate for therapeutic intervention. However, its intravenous administration costly inconvenient. Therefore, we established novel IL-10 delivery system by transforming hIL-10-containing plasmid into B. longum (BL-hIL-10) investigated effects on 5% dextran sulfate sodium...

Abstract Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common oral cancer. The molecular mechanisms of this disease are not fully understood. Our previous studies confirmed that dysregulated function long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) AC007271.3 was associated with a poor prognosis and overexpression promoted proliferation, migration, invasion, inhibited apoptosis in vitro, tumor growth vivo. However, underlying dysregulation remained obscure. In study, our investigation showed functioned as...
