SiRNA directed against NF ‑κB inhibits mononuclear macrophage cells releasing proinflammatory cytokines in vitro.
SiRNA directed against NF‑κB inhibits mononuclear macrophage cells releasing proinflammatory cytokines in vitro. Mol Med Rep. 2017 Oct 04;: Authors: Wu C, Zhao J, Zhu G, Huang Y, Jin L Abstract Acute lung injury (ALI) is a condition of acute respiratory failure, characterized by diffuse pulmonary infiltrates and severe hypoxemia. During ALI, the acute phase of inflammation induces the recruitment of activated inflammatory cells, including macrophages and lymphocytes, to the damaged lesions. Nuclear factor (NF)‑κB is a key protein in many signal transduction pathways, over‑activation of which i...

Mol Med Rep. 2017 Aug 04;: Authors: Qu YY, Wang LM, Zhong H, Liu YM, Tang N, Zhu LP, He F, Hu QH Abstract Store‑operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) via store‑operated Ca2+ channels (SOCC), encoded by transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channel proteins, is an important underlying mechanism regulating intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and various intracellular functions in endothelial cells (ECs). TRPC1, the probable candidate for SOCC, is expressed in ECs. Ca...

Long non‑coding RNA HOXA11‑AS promotes cell proliferation and metastasis in human breast cancer. Mol Med Rep. 2017 Aug 03;: Authors: Su JC, Hu XF Abstract Breast cancer is one of the most frequently occurring malignancies in female cancers worldwide, however, its detailed mechanism of tumorigenesis remains to be elucidated. Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) have previously been demonstrated to be important in multiple cancers, including breast cancer. The present study aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanism of the effects of the novel Lnc RNA HOXA11‑AS, on cell proliferation and metastasis in br...

Suppression of TAFI by siRNA inhibits invasion and migration of breast cancer cells.
Authors: Yu C, Luan Y, Wang Z, Zhao J, Xu C Abstract Human thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI), also known as carboxypeptidase B2 (CPB2), is a procarboxypeptidase enzyme. The purpose of the present study was to observe the expression of TAFI in breast cancer (BC) and breast cancer cell (BCC) lines and to investigate the effect of TAFI suppression by small interfering (si)RNA gene silencing on invasion and migration of BCC lines. A significant increase in TAFI level was identified by immunohistochemical analysis in BC tissues compared with normal breast tissues. TAFI suppression also inhibited cell vi...

E ‑cadherin involvement in human lens epithelial cell transdifferentiation may be associated with N‑cadherin.
E‑cadherin involvement in human lens epithelial cell transdifferentiation may be associated with N‑cadherin. Mol Med Rep. 2017 Aug 02;: Authors: Huang L, Jiang J, Guo Q, Yang H Abstract E-cadherin, β-catenin and N‑cadherin serve key roles in the epithelial‑to‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) that leads to human lens epithelial cell (LEC) transdifferentiation and subsequent cataract formation. The present study aimed to investigate the role of E‑cadherin in LEC transdifferentiation. SRA01/04 human LECs were transfected with E‑cadherin short interfering (si)RNA (E‑cadherin siRNA group), nega...

Endothelial semaphorin 7A promotes seawater aspiration-induced acute lung injury through plexin C1 and β1 integrin.
Authors: Zhang M, Yan X, Liu W, Sun R, Xie Y, Jin F Abstract Inflammation and edema are two main characteristics in seawater aspiration‑induced acute lung injury (ALI). In a previous study of the authors, it was demonstrated that endothelial semaphorin 7A (SEMA7A) serves an important role in the development of seawater‑induced inflammation and edema. However, the mechanism of endothelial SEMA7A‑mediated ALI remains unclear. Therefore, the authors explored the effect of SEMA7A in rat pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (RPMVECs) and the interaction between endothelial SEMA7A and alveolar macrophages duri...

Adipose differentiation‑related protein knockdown inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration and attenuates neointima formation. Mol Med Rep. 2017 Jul 15;: Authors: Zhao H, Han T, Hong X, Sun D Abstract Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) have an important role in atherosclerosis development. Evidence has demonstrated that adipose differentiation‑related protein (ADRP) is associated with foam cell formation and atherosclerosis progression.

A systematic study of Girdin on cell proliferation, migration and angiogenesis in different breast cancer subtypes.
In conclusion, these data indicate that Girdin knockdown suppressed cell viability and migration and may suppress angiogenesis via the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, in various breast cancers subtypes. The present study therefore suggests a role for Girdin as a novel therapeutic target for breast cancer, independent of subtype. PMID: 28713924 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

NLRC5 silencing ameliorates cardiac fibrosis by inhibiting the TGF ‑β1/Smad3 signaling pathway.
NLRC5 silencing ameliorates cardiac fibrosis by inhibiting the TGF‑β1/Smad3 signaling pathway. Mol Med Rep. 2017 Jul 14;: Authors: Zhou H, Yu X, Zhou G Abstract The proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) and excessive deposition of extracellular matrix are the predominant pathological characteristics of cardiac fibrosis. As the largest member of the nucleotide‑binding domain and leucine‑rich repeat (NLR) family, NLRC5 has been shown to be pivotal in the development of hepatic fibrosis. However, whether NLRC5 is involved in the pathogenesis of cardiac fibrosis remains to be elucidated. The pr...
