OBJECTIVE Macrophages play an important role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance via production proinflammatory cytokines. Our goal is to decipher molecular linkage between cytokine and macrophages. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We determined profiles cultured macrophages identified interleukin (IL)-1β gene as a potential target FoxO1, key transcription factor that mediates action on expression. studied mechanism by which FoxO1 insulin-dependent regulation IL-1β expression correlated...
In mammals, resting primordial follicles serve as the ovarian reserve. The decline in function with aging is characterized by a gradual decrease both quantity and quality of oocytes residing within follicles. Many reports show that mesenchymal stem cells have ability to recover premature insufficiency (POI) or natural animal models; however, underlying mechanism remains unclear. this study, using exosomes derived from human umbilical cord (HucMSC-exos), we found specific accumulation...

DU-145 cells stably...
Apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells is a key feature the pathogenicity associated with tubulointerstitial fibrosis and other kidney diseases. One factor that regulates important cellular processes like apoptosis cell proliferation HRD1, an E3 ubiquitin ligase acts by promoting ubiquitylation degradation its target protein. However, detailed mechanisms which HRD1 as regulator in have not been established. In our previous liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) study...
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the fifth most common cancer worldwide a cause of cancer-related death, with 5-year survival rate less than 60%. IL-6 has been suggested to play an important role in metastasis, but its mechanism HNSCC not fully clarified. p70S6K reported induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) ovarian cancer, remains unknown. In this study, we found that were upregulated high-metastatic lines underwent EMT when compared paired low-metastatic lines....
Cancer susceptibility candidate 2 (CASC2), a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), has been demonstrated to be tumor suppressor in several types of cancer. However, the role and mechanism CASC2 breast cancer (BC) have not investigated. In present study, expression functions BC were The was significantly decreased tissues cells compared with adjacent normal mammary epithelial cells, respectively. overexpression inhibited viability, migration invasion, elevated apoptosis cells. addition, acted as...
