Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) plays a pivotal role in the repression of cartilage-specific gene expression human chondrocytes. The aim this study was to determine whether microRNA-193b-3p (miR-193b-3p) regulates HDAC3 during chondrogenesis and chondrocyte metabolism. Methods: miR-193b-3p assessed mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) model chondrogenesis, interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-treated primary chondrocytes (PHCs), non-degraded degraded cartilage. hMSCs PHCs were transfected with or its antisense...

Abstract Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) play a pivotal role in maintaining liver homeostasis and influencing the pathological processes of various diseases. However, neither LSEC-specific hallmark genes nor LSEC promoter-driven Cre mouse line has been introduced before, which largely restricts study diseases with vascular disorders. To explore genes, we compared top 50 marker between (ECs) capillary ECs identified 18 overlapping genes. After excluding globally expressed those low...

Phthalates (PAEs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are frequently detected in females of reproductive age. Many studies have found that environmental PAE PAH levels independent risk factors for gestational hypertension. However, exposure to both components is a more realistic scenario. To better assess the health effects PAEs PAHs pregnant women, we explored associations individual combined with This nested case-control study was component prospective cohort conducted Beijing,...
