GSE248317 Lysine tRNA fragments and miR-194-5p co-regulate hepatic steatosis via β-Klotho and Perilipin 2 (small RNA I)
Contributors : Yonat Tzur ; Hermona SoreqSeries Type : Non-coding RNA profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Mus musculusNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) involves hepatic accumulation of intracellular lipid droplets via incompletely understood processes. Here, we report distinct and cooperative NAFLD roles of LysTTT-5 ’tRF transfer RNA fragments and microRNA miR-194-5p. Unlike lean animals, dietary-induced NAFLD mice showed concurrent hepatic decrease of both LysTTT-5’tRF and miR-194-5p levels, which were restored following miR-132 antisense oligonucleotide treatment which suppresses hepatic steat...

Evaluation of the effects of latanoprost and benzalkonium chloride on the cell viability and nonpolar lipid profile produced by human meibomian gland epithelial cells in culture
CONCLUSIONS: The use of latanoprost and BAK in glaucoma may alter the viability of the meibomian glands and their lipid expression in vivo. Sublethal concentrations of BAK appear to modulate meibum lipid expression, particularly in relation to sterol biosynthesis. Non-preserved latanoprost had less cytotoxicity at lower doses and fewer lipidomic effects compared to BAK, further strengthening the argument in favor of BAK-free pharmaceutical preparations.PMID:38264609 | PMC:PMC10805331 (Source: Molecular Vision)
