Role of vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein in human cytomegalovirus-induced hyperpermeability of human endothelial cells.
Authors: Tian Y, He Y, Zhang L, Zhang J, Xu L, Ma Y, Xu X, Wei L Abstract Atherosclerosis (AS) is a common chronic vascular disease and epidemiological evidence demonstrates that infection is closely associated with the occurrence of AS, including infection by human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and Chlamydophila pneumoniae. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of HCMV AD169 infection on the barrier function of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and to understand the role of vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) during this process. In cultured HUVEC-CRL-1730 cells, knockdown of V...

Silence of IGFBP7 suppresses apoptosis and epithelial mesenchymal transformation of high glucose induced-podocytes.
Authors: Cai X, Wang L, Wang X, Hou F Abstract Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) has been identified as a secreted protein associated with a number of cellular processes. However, the specific regulatory mechanisms of IGFBP7 on podocytes of diabetic nephropathy (DN) are yet to be elucidated. In the present study, podocytes were identified initially via an immunofluorescence assay using an anti-synaptopodin antibody. It was subsequently demonstrated that glucose promoted podocyte proliferation in a time- and dose-dependent manner via MTT assay. In addition, IGFBP7 expression was silenced in podoc...

Roles of the MST1-JNK signaling pathway in apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells induced by Taurine.
Authors: Liu Z, Xia Y, Zhang X, Liu L, Tu S, Zhu W, Yu L, Wan H, Yu B, Wan F Abstract The aim of this study was to observe the impact of the mammalian sterile 20-like kinase 1-c-Jun N-terminal kinase (MST1-JNK) signaling pathway on apoptosis in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells induced by Taurine (Tau). Caco-2 and SW620 cells transfected with p-enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)-MST1 or short interfering RNA (siRNA)-MST1 were treated with Tau for 48 h. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry, and the levels of MST1 and JNK were detected by western blotting. Compared with the control group, 80 mM Tau could sig...

Exploring the role of miRNAs in the diagnosis of MODY3
Conclusion: Although further studies with larger numbers of patients are required, this study demonstrated that the expression levels of miR-200b-3p and miR-378a-5p decrease in MODY3 patients and suggests that miR-200b-3p is an especially strong candidate to use clinically for selecting suspected MODY3 patients.

SPHK1 promotes metastasis of thyroid carcinoma through activation of the S1P/S1PR3/Notch signaling pathway.
In conclusion, the present study indicated that high levels of p-SPHK1 were positively correlated with high levels of S1P which in turn promoted thyroid carcinoma metastasis via the S1P/S1P receptor 3/Notch signaling pathway, suggesting possible prognostic markers and therapeutic targets. PMID: 29805524 [PubMed]

The action mechanism of lncRNA-HOTAIR on the drug resistance of non-small cell lung cancer by regulating Wnt signaling pathway.
Authors: Guo F, Cao Z, Guo H, Li S Abstract The action mechanism of long non-coding ribonucleic acid-homeobox transcript antisense ribonucleic acid (lncRNA-HOTAIR) in the regulation of the Wnt signaling pathway on the drug resistance of non-small cell lung cancer was investigated. Forty eight patients with non-small cell lung cancer, who were treated with cisplatin (DDP) as neoadjuvant chemotherapy, were selected from the specimen bank of the Department of Pathology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the messenger RNA (mRNA) level of...

Essential Role of Sphingosine Kinase 2 in the Regulation of Cargo Contents in the Exosomes from K562 Cells.
Abstract Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive phosphorylated product of sphingosine catalyzed by sphingosine kinase (SphK) and implicated in diverse cellular functions including vesicular trafficking. In the present study we have shown the importance of one of the subtypes of SphK, SphK2, in the regulation of cargo content in exosomes released from human myeloid leukemia K562 cells. First, SphK2 has been shown to localize with N-Rh-PE-positive late endosomes in the cells. Next, siRNA-mediated knockdown of Sphk2 but not SphK1 resulted in a reduction of cargo content in purified exosomes. The involvement of ...

The siRNA silencing of DcR3 expression induces Fas ligand-mediated apoptosis in HepG2 cells.
Authors: Zhao T, Xu Y, Ren S, Liang C, Zhou X, Wu J Abstract Dysfunctional Fas ligand (FasL) may inhibit the apoptosis of tumor cells. FasL contains two receptors, Fas and Decoy Receptor 3 (DcR3). DcR3 competitively binds to FasL over Fas, resulting in the inhibition of FasL-mediated apoptosis. Therefore, it was suggested that the downregulation of DcR3 expression enhances FasL-mediated apoptosis. In the current study, the expression of DcR3 was silenced in liver cancer HepG2 cells in order to study the effect of FasL on HepG2 cell activity and invasiveness. DcR3 siRNA knockdown HepG2 cells (KD), DcR3 blank plasmid...

Analysis of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expression in hepatitis B patients.
Authors: Yılmaz Susluer S, Kayabasi C, Ozmen Yelken B, Asik A, Celik D, Balci Okcanoglu T, Serin Senger S, Biray Avci C, Kose S, Gunduz C Abstract Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in numerous biological processes, including epigenetic regulation, cell-cycle control, and transcriptional/translational regulation of gene expression. Differential expression of lncRNAs and disruption of the regulatory processes are recognized as critical steps in cancer development. The role of lncRNAs in hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is not well understood. Here we analyzed the expression of 135 lncRNAs in plasm...

Effect of dihydroarteminin combined with siRNA targeting Notch1 on Notch1/c-Myc signaling in T-cell lymphoma cells.
Authors: Huo L, Wei W, Wu S, Zhao X, Zhao C, Zhao H, Sun L Abstract The effectiveness of therapy combining dihydroartemisinin (DHA) and small interfering RNA targeting Notch1 (siNotch1) in T-cell lymphoma remains unknown. The present study explored the potential and possible mechanisms of combined dihydroarteminin, and siNotch1 therapy for T-cell lymphoma. It was demonstrated that the viability rates of siRNA-DHA-treated cells was significantly suppressed in comparison with those in control cells, control siRNA cells, siRNA-treated cells and DHA-treated cells (P<0.01). Additionally, there was a significant incre...
