Silencing of osterix expression by siRNA inhibits aldosterone ‑induced calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells in mice.
Silencing of osterix expression by siRNA inhibits aldosterone‑induced calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells in mice. Mol Med Rep. 2016 Jul 8; Authors: Gong YC, He Y, Wang H, Niu WQ, Ji KD, Li H Abstract The process of vascular calcification shares numerous similarities with that of skeletal mineralization and involves the deposition of hydroxyapatite crystals in arteries and cardiac valves. However, the underlying cellular mechanism remains to be fully elucidated. Microarray analysis in the present study demonstrated that greater than 2,000 genes were upregulated during the calcification of ...

Mol Med Rep. 2018 May 16;: Authors: Tang Z, Guo D, Xiong L, Wu B, Xu X, Fu J, Kong L, Liu Z, Xie C Abstract Abnormal blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a common pathological feature in brain damage. In the present study, a brain microvascular endothelial cell (BMEC) model was established to determine the role of the toll‑like receptor 4 (TLR4)/protein kinase Cα (PKCα)/occludin signaling pathway in BBB dysfunction. Three small interfering (si)RNAs directed against PKCα were designed to investigate the molecular mechanis...

AQP3 small interfering RNA and PLD2 small interfering RNA inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of squamous cell carcinoma.
Authors: Wang X, Tao C, Yuan C, Ren J, Yang M, Ying H Abstract Aquaporin 3 (AQP3) and phospholipase D2 (PLD2) are abnormally expressed and/or localized in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). AQP3 transports glycerol to PLD2 for the synthesis of lipid second messenger, which can mediate the effect of the AQP3/PLD2 signaling module in the regulation of keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation. However, the role of the AQP3/PLD2 signaling module in the pathogenesis of SCC remains to be fully elucidated. In the present study, the expression levels of AQP3 and PLD2 in tissue samples were examined using immunohistochemi...

Knockdown of versican V1 induces a severe inflammatory response in LPS-induced acute lung injury via the TLR2-NF-κB signaling pathway in C57BL/6J mice.
Authors: Xu L, Xue T, Zhang J, Qu J Abstract The versican family is important in the modulation of inflammation, however, the role of versican V1 (V1) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and the underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated. To investigate this, the present study performed experiments in male C57BL/6J mice, which were randomly divided into a normal control group (control; n=6), an LPS‑stimulated ALI group (LPS; n=6), a scramble small interfering (si)RNA group (scramble; n=6), a V1‑siRNA group (V1‑siRNA; n=6), a scramble siRNA and LPS‑stimulated group (scramble+LPS; n...

CDCA7L promotes glioma proliferation by targeting CCND1 and predicts an unfavorable prognosis.
Authors: Ji QK, Ma JW, Liu RH, Li XS, Shen FZ, Huang LY, Hui L, Ma YJ, Jin BZ Abstract Cell division cycle associated 7 like (CDCA7L) belongs to the JPO protein family, recently identified as a target gene of c‑Myc and is frequently dysregulated in multiple cancers. However, to the best of our knowledge, no studies to date have been carried out to investigate the functions of CDCA7L in glioma. Thus, in this study, the expression level of CDCA7L and its association with the prognosis in glioma were detected through the TCGA database. The mRNA expression levels of CDCA7L in glioblastoma (GBM) tissues and normal bra...

Phospho ‑regulation of Cdc14A by polo‑like kinase 1 is involved in β‑cell function and cell cycle regulation.
In conclusion, PLK1 promoted cell proliferation and insulin secretion while inhibiting cellular apoptosis in β‑TC3 cell lines under both low and high glucose conditions. In addition, the phospho‑regulation of Cdc14A by PLK1 may be involved in β‑TC3 cell cycle regulation and insulin secretion under high glucose conditions.

STAT3‑regulated long non‑coding RNAs lnc‑7SK and lnc‑IGF2‑AS promote hepatitis C virus replication.
Authors: Xiong Y, Jia M, Yuan J, Zhang C, Zhu Y, Kuang X, Lan L, Wang X Abstract Long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of RNAs that do not code protein but are important in diverse biological processes. In previous years, with the application of high‑throughput sequencing, a large number of lncRNAs associated with virus infections have been identified and intensively investigated, however, there are few studies examining the association between lncRNAs and HCV replication. Previous studies have demonstrated that signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is activated by the hepatitis C vi...
