Increasing evidence has implicated the membrane protein CD36 (FAT) in binding and transport of long chain fatty acids (FA). To determine physiological role CD36, we examined effects its overexpression muscle, a tissue that depends on FA for energy needs is responsible clearing major fraction circulating FA. Mice with muscle were generated using promoter creatine kinase gene (MCK). Transgenic (MCK-CD36) mice had slightly lower body weight than control litter mates. This reflected leaner mass...

Age-related long-term disability is attracting increasing attention due to the growing ageing population worldwide. However, current understanding of senescent spinal cord remains insufficient. Bulk RNA sequencing reveals that 526 genes are upregulated and 300 downregulated in cords. Pathway enrichment analysis differentially expressed shows senescence cords related phagosome function, neuroinflammation, ferroptosis, necroptosis. Prediction upstream transcription factors interactome identify...

MicroRNA (miRNA) are small single-stranded noncoding RNA with important roles in regulating innate immunity nonruminants via transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms. Mastitis causes significant losses the dairy industry a wealth of large-scale mRNA expression data from mammary tissue have provided fundamental insights into adaptations to pathogens. We studied 14 miRNA (miR-10a, -15b, -16a, -17, -21, -31, -145, -146a, -146b, -155, -181a, -205, -221, -223) associated regulation...

Alphaherpesvirus infection results in severe health consequences a wide range of hosts. USPs are the largest subfamily deubiquitinating enzymes that play critical roles immunity and other cellular functions. To investigate role alphaherpesvirus replication, we assessed 13 USP inhibitors for PRV replication. Our data showed all tested compounds inhibited with USP14 inhibitor b-AP15 exhibiting most dramatic effect. Ablation also influenced whereas replenishment null cells restored viral...

Abstract Anticancer agent FL118 was recently identified in screening of small-molecule inhibitors human survivin expression. Although is a camptothecin analogue, its antitumor potency much superior to other FDA-approved analogues (irinotecan and topotecan). The mechanism action (MOA) underlying the effects remains be fully elucidated. Here, we report that activates tumor suppressor p53 as novel MOA wild-type cancer cells. Our studies show this involves an induction proteasomal degradation...

Cardiac hypertrophy can cause heart failure. However, the mechanisms underlying progression of cardiac remain unclear. Emerging evidence suggests that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a critical role in hypertrophy. association between circ_nuclear factor I X (circNfix) and largely unknown. Therefore, aim present study was to explore circNfix In order detect function hypertrophy, cardiomyocytes were stimulated with angiotensin II (Ang II) mimic pathogenesis disease. addition, pressure...

Saffron, a traditional Chinese medicine, is derived from Crocus sativus L. stigmas and has been reported to possess neuroprotective properties potentially contribute the inhibition of apoptosis inflammation. Safranal, potent monothyral aldehyde, main component saffron that have antiepileptic activity. However, specific mechanism by which safranal suppresses epileptic seizures via its antiapoptotic anti-inflammatory unclear.

Background and Purpose There is emerging evidence suggesting that abnormal transport of amyloid‐β (Aβ) across the blood–brain barrier (BBB) involved in diabetes‐associated cognitive decline. We investigated whether PPARγ agonists restore Aβ BBB hippocampal plasticity db / mice. Experimental Approach Efflux influx were determined by stereotaxic intra‐cerebral or i.a. infusion [ 125 I]‐Aβ 1–40 respectively.

The present study was designed to determine whether low-frequency stimulation (LFS) of the entorhinal cortex(EC) has an anticonvulsive effect, and LFS delivered at different times plays roles. We found that EC immediately or 4 s after kindling had latter a better effect on both kindled seizures. However, cessation afterdischarge 10 stimulation, augmented epileptic activity. So is potential target for interfere with epilepsy. Our findings suggest even in duration afterdischarge, there exists...

Abstract Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is a single‐stranded RNA flavivirus that can cause serious diseases in porcine species, including symptoms of infarction, systemic hemorrhage, high fever, or depression. Viperin an important interferon‐inducible antiviral gene has been shown to inhibit CSFV, but the exact mechanisms by which it able do so remain poorly characterized. In present study, we determined CSFV infection led viperin upregulation PK‐15 cells (porcine kidney cell). When was...
