High salt medium activates RhoA/ROCK and downregulates eNOS expression via the upregulation of ADMA.
Authors: Cao Y, Fang Y, Mu J, Liu X Abstract Endothelial dysfunction has an important role in the development and progression of salt-sensitive hypertension. Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), which is an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), has been demonstrated to be involved in the pathophysiological processes of endothelial dysfunction and salt‑sensitive hypertension. However, it is currently unclear how high salt intake may induce these processes. The present study investigated the effects of high salt medium on ADMA, endothelial NOS (eNOS) and the Ras homolog gene family, member A (RhoA)/R...

High glucose-induced fibronectin upregulation in cultured mesangial cells involves caveolin-1-dependent RhoA-GTP activation via Src kinase.
In conclusion, HG‑induced FN upregulation requires caveolae and caveolin‑1 to interact with RhoA and Src kinases. Interference with Src/caveolin-1/RhoA signaling may provide novel mechanistic targets for the treatment of DKD. PMID: 27220778 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

CDKN3 expression is negatively associated with pathological tumor stage and CDKN3 inhibition promotes cell survival in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Authors: Dai W, Miao H, Fang S, Fang T, Chen N, Li M Abstract Aberrant expression of CDKN3 may be involved in carcinogenesis of liver cancer. The effect of CDKN3 on tumorigenesis and the molecular mechanisms involved have not been fully elucidated. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect CDKN3 expression levels in tumor tissues. CDKN3 siRNA was used to knockdown CDKN3 in QGY7701 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. Colony formation assay was used to measure the clonogenic capacity of the tumor cells. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay. Logistic regression was performed to analyze the association betwe...

Nkx2.5/CARP signaling pathway contributes to the regulation of ion channel remodeling induced by rapid pacing in rat atrial myocytes.
Authors: Wang W, Zhu Y, Yi J, Cheng W Abstract Remodeling of atrial electrophysiology and structure is the primary feature of atrial fibrillation (AF). Evidence suggests that abnormalities in the expression levels of embryological cardiovascular development‑associated transcription factors, including Nkx2.5, are crucial for the development of AF. Rat atrial myocardial cells (AMCs) in culture dishes were placed in an electric field and stimulated. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the ultrastucture prior to and following rapid pacing. The action potential durations and effective refractory perio...

Bone morphogenetic protein ‑9 promotes the differentiation of mouse spleen macrophages into osteoclasts via the ALK1 receptor and ERK 1/2 pathways in vitro.
Bone morphogenetic protein‑9 promotes the differentiation of mouse spleen macrophages into osteoclasts via the ALK1 receptor and ERK 1/2 pathways in vitro. Mol Med Rep. 2016 Oct 05;: Authors: Li H, Zhao D, Wang S, Ding J, Zhao L Abstract It has been confirmed that bone morphogenetic protein-9 (BMP-9) promotes the differentiation of osteoblasts. However, the ways in which BMP‑9 exerts its effects on the differentiation of osteoclasts and bone resorption remain to be elucidated. The present study was designed to investigate the roles and the molecular mechanism of BMP‑9 on the proliferation and di...

Repetitive extragenic palindromic DNA sequences from Brucella  melitensis stimulate Toll-like receptor 9 signaling in macrophages.
Repetitive extragenic palindromic DNA sequences from Brucella melitensis stimulate Toll-like receptor 9 signaling in macrophages. Mol Med Rep. 2016 Dec 06;: Authors: Yu H, Bai L, Zhang Y, Wang Z, Yu Y Abstract Brucella DNA activates the host innate immune system via the intracellular Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9). However, the Brucella DNA sequences which are responsible for these immunostimulatory effects remain to be elucidated. The present study demonstrated that repetitive extragenic palindromic (REPs) sequences present in Brucella DNA were able to stimulate macrophages through TLR9. The induction o...

Therapeutic mechanisms of ibuprofen, prednisone and betamethasone in osteoarthritis.
In conclusion, prednisone, ibuprofen and betamethasone may prevent OA by suppressing the expression of IL‑6 and IL‑8, subsequently inactivating NF‑κB and STAT3 pathways, and ultimately, leading to decreased levels of collagen I, MMP‑1, and MMP‑13. PMID: 28035387 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Increased expression of PD-L1 by the human papillomavirus 16 E7 oncoprotein inhibits anticancer immunity.
In conclusion, the results presented in the current study suggest that overexpression of PD‑L1, induced by HPV16E7, may be responsible for lymphocyte dysfunction. In addition, soluble PD‑1 may restore the function of tumor‑infiltrating lymphocytes by inhibiting the PD‑L1/PD‑1 signaling pathway. These results may provide a novel insight for immunotherapeutic approaches in the treatment of cervical cancer. PMID: 28035385 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Resveratrol inhibits adventitial fibroblast proliferation and induces cell apoptosis through the SIRT1 pathway.
In conclusion, the data showed that resveratrol inhibited cell viability, DNA synthesis and cell migration, and induced cell apoptosis in the rat adventitial fibroblasts in vitro through the SIRT1 signaling pathway. As the activation and migration of adventitial fibroblasts contributes to the early development of atherosclerosis, this may be a mechanism underlying the anti‑atherosclerotic effect of resveratrol.
