RAS protein activator like 2 (Rasal2) exerts pro-proliferative effect in several types of cells. However, whether Rasal2 is involved in the regulation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) remains unclear. In the current study, we explored the role of Rasal2 in proliferation and migration of PASMC during the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We found that the protein level of Rasal2 was increased in both pulmonary arteries of chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (CH-PH)...

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease involving endothelial dysfunction, and is one of the main causes of death from cardiovascular disease (CVD). Long non-coding RNA plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (lncRNA PVT1) is overexpressed in the serum of CVD patients. However, the mechanism by which lncRNA PVT1 functions in AS remains unknown. Our research was designed to probe interactions involving lncRNA PVT1 and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-stimulated endothelial cell injury in AS. lncRNA PVT1 expression...

SOCS3 is low-expressed in breast cancer and may be a potential target. Ultrasound targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) improved the efficiency of gene transfection. We explored the effects of UTMD-mediated transfection of SOCS3 on the biological characteristics and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs). The expression of SOCS3 in breast cancer (BC) and its association with prognosis were evaluated by GEPIA and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) websites. BCSCs were sorted by flow...

Abstract: Active graben systems in south Tibet and the Himalaya are the surface expression of ongoing E-W extension, however, the cause and spatio-temporal evolution of normal faulting remain debated. Here, we reconstruct the exhumation history driven by normal faulting at the southern Tangra Yumco graben using new thermochronological data. The Miocene cooling history of the footwall of the main graben-bounding fault is constrained by zircon (U-Th)/He ages (16.7 ±1.0 to 13.3 ±0.6 Ma), apatite fission...

The benefits of potent antithrombotic therapy usually come at the expense of a higher risk of bleeding. The efficacy and safety of ticagrelor in elderly East Asian populations remains debated due to the concerns about the imbalance of ischemic and bleeding risks. This study aimed to compare the impact of clopidogrel with ticagrelor on clinical outcomes in East Asian patients aged ≥75 years with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) using data from an institutional registry. We...

The programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a pivotal biomarker of immunotherapy in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). TP53 is reported as a positive regulatory predictor of immune efficacy. The correlation of p53 expression or mutation and PD-L1 expression is explored. By immunohistochemistry, PD-L1 expression between p53 mutation (missense and nonsense) and wild type; p53 no-expression/loss vs. expression were compared. There was a significant association between p53 mutation, especially missense mutation with higher histological grade,...

This study aimed to explore the specific effect of miR-200c in anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC). Hth74 and ARO cell lines were used. Proliferation, invasion, and colony formation activities of Hth74 and ARO cell lines affected by miR-200c were studied. Expression of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers (E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Slug, and Snail) in the Hth74 and ARO cell lines were validated by western blot and qRT-PCR. In addition, the regulation of the parathyroid hormone-like hormone (PTHLH) by...

Abstract Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising tumor treatment method via light-triggered generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill tumor cells. However, the efficacy of PDT is usually restricted by several biological limitations, including hypoxia, excess glutathione (GSH) neutralization, as well as tumor resistance. To tackle these issues, herein we developed a new kind of DNA nanozyme to realize enhanced PDT and synergistic tumor ferroptosis. The DNA nanozyme was constructed via rolling...

Objectives: The aim of this study was to access the efficacy of probiotics combined with metformin on improvement of menstrual and metabolic patterns in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods: In this single-centre, controlled, randomized clinical trial (NCT03336840), 60 non-obese women with PCOS were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive probiotics (4 g daily), metformin (1.5 g daily) or their combination for 12 weeks. The primary outcome was the improvement of menstrual patterns. The secondary...

Acute acidic stress from sources such as acid rain might impact on lake ecosystems in many aspects. Because zooplankton is sensitive to environmental change, it could be a good biotic indicator of the effects of acidification. We investigated survival and metabolic rates of three dominant zooplankton taxa in Lake Biwa, the cladoceran Daphnia pulicaria, and the copepods Eodiaptomus japonicus and Cyclopoida spp., when subjected to different pH values (pH 4.0−8.0) at low (10 °C) and...

Abstract Background The zone adjacent to a transcription start site (TSS), namely, the promoter, is primarily involved in the process of DNA transcription initiation and regulation. As a result, proper promoter identification is critical for further understanding the mechanism of the networks controlling genomic regulation. A number of methodologies for the identification of promoters have been proposed. Nonetheless, due to the great heterogeneity existing in promoters, the results of these procedures are still unsatisfactory. In...
