Non-drug strategy targeting adipocyte differentiation is critical for alleviating visceral obesity and its related diseases. However, whether and how low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) could be used for inhibiting visceral adipocyte differentiation is not fully understood. In this study, we aim to investigate the effect and associated mechanism of LIPUS on primary visceral preadipocyte differentiation and explore its potential role for clinical visceral obesity management. The preadipocytes were daily exposed to LIPUS (0.5 MHz, 1.2...

Multi-fluorescent imaging of cell cycle progression is essential for the study of cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. However, there remain challenges, particularly to image cell cycle progression in living cell with available imaging techniques due to lacking the suitable probe. Here, we design a triple fluorescent sensors system making the cell cycle progression visible. Multi-fluorescent sensor shows the proliferating or proliferated cells with different colors. We thus generate the construct and adenovirus to...

Autophagy, characterized by the elevator of autophagy-related gene 14 (ATG14) and the dysregulation of autophagy-related proteins, contributes to the cisplatin (DDP) resistance in ovarian cancer. Forkhead box protein P1 (FOXP1), which is a well-defined transcription factor, is reported to have the oncogenic effect on ovarian cancer. This study aims to identify the effect of miR-29c-3p/FOXP1/ATG14 pathway in regulating autophagy and DDP resistance in ovarian cancer. The expressions of miR-29c-3p, FOXP1, ATG14 and autophagy-related proteins were...
