Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM1) participates in the development of endometritis. This study aims at identifying the effects and interaction of TREM1 and upstream stimulatory factor 2 (USF2) in endometritis by using a model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced human endometrial epithelial cells (HEnEpCs). ELISA was performed to determine the levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) after LPS stimulation. TREM1 and USF2 expression was examined with RT-qPCR and Western blot....

The dysregulated circular RNAs (circRNAs) are linked to progression and chemoresistance in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the role of circRNA protein tyrosine kinase 2 (circPTK2) in CRC progression and chemoresistance is uncertain. The circPTK2, microRNA (miR)-136-5p, m6A ‘reader’ protein YTH domain family protein 1 (YTHDF1), β-catenin and cyclin D1 abundances were examined via quantitative reverse transcription PCR or Western blotting. The progression was investigated by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation, transwell and xenograft analysis....

The function of tucidinostat on tumor immunity. a Functional annotation clustering of genes regulated in tumor from CT26 tumor-bearing mice on day 10 post treatment with tucidinostat (25 mg/kg, gavage, daily, n=3) or DMSO as vehicle control (DMSO, n=3). b Representative cytograms (left) or summary histograms (right) for the cell surface PD-L1 expression in CT26 cells following different doses (2.5, 5, 7.5 μM) of vorinostat, tucidinostat, and TMP-195 treatment for 24h. c...

Hyperthermia is a widely used adjunct treatment for different cancers including nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The protooncogene c-Myc is up-regulated in NPC and its expression is associated with poor prognosis. We hypothesized that c-Myc constitutes an important hyperthermia treatment target, and we investigated its contribution to hyperthermia responses in NPC. The growth of the human NPC cell lines CNE1 and CNE2 was analyzed using CCK-8 and clonogenicity assays after 43 °C hyperthermia, knockdown or overexpression of...

Numerous studies have reported the regulatory effects of miR-21-5p and reversine in human breast cancer (HBC). However, the mechanism of reversine and miR-21-5p has not been fully investigated in HBC. The aim of the current study was to assess the mechanism of action of reversine, with or without miR-21-5p, in HBC progression. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot results confirmed the upregulation of miR-21-5p and downregulation of sprouty RTK signaling antagonist 2...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The present study explored the role of lncRNA LINC01194, which is upregulated in HCC tissues and might be a vital regulator in HCC progression. Levels of LINC01194, microRNA (miR)-655-3p, and SMAD family member 5 (SMAD5) were assessed using reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The bioactivity of Huh-7 cells was assessed using cell counting kit-8 and transwell assays and flow cytometry. Western...

Gastric cancer (GC) still poses a significant threat to human life. Hence, there is an urgent need to understand the mechanism of GC progression and develop novel therapeutics approach to treating GC. This study was conducted to evaluate the role of the lncRNA SNHG22 in the progression of GC. First, GC data from TCGA were analyzed using GEPIA. After the starbase database was used to predict SNHG22 target miRNA and miR-101-3p target mRNA. The predictions...

Atherosclerosis (AS) is an inflammatory disease caused by multiple factors. Multiple circRNAs are involved in the development of AS. The present study focusses on delineating the role of circ_0090231 in AS. Human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) were treated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) to construct an in vitro AS model. Real-time quantitative polymerase-chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the levels of circ_0090231, IL-1β, and IL-18 transcripts. CircRNA/target gene interactions were predicted using StarBase and...
