lncRNA GAPLINC regulates vascular endothelial cell apoptosis in atherosclerosis
CONCLUSIONS: The present study demonstrates that upregulation of lncRNA GAPLINC represses the binding of miR-183-5p to the PDCD4 promoter region and then promotes PDCD4 expression, thereby inducing cell apoptosis and suppressing endothelial cell proliferation.PMID:38414459 | PMC:PMC10895973 | DOI:10.5114/aoms/169383 (Source: Archives of Medical Science)

Interleukins: pathophysiological role in acute pancreatitis
Arch Med Sci. 2024 Jan 31;20(1):138-156. doi: 10.5114/aoms/178183. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTAcute pancreatitis (AP) is a common inflammatory state characterized by a clinical course that can lead to serious local and extrapancreatic organ malfunction and failure. Interleukins (ILs) are biologically active glycoproteins primarily produced by macrophages and lymphocytes. According to the literature, there are many ILs. However, this article represents a summary of the role of ILs in AP, such as IL-1, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-9, IL-10, IL-11, IL-12, IL-13, IL-14, IL-15, IL-16, IL-17, IL-18, IL-19, and IL-2...
