Effects of varying radiation dosages on MMP1 expression, and MMP1 knockdown on the viability and migration of SW620 cells.
Authors: Ju F, Li N, Wang W, Yuan H Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC), also known as bowel cancer, is one of the leading causes of cancer‑associated mortality worldwide at present. The aim of the present study was to detect the effects of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1) on the viability and migration of a CRC cell line in the presence or absence of variation X‑ray radiation doses. The CRC cell line, SW620, was cultured and treated with different X‑ray doses (0, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 3 and 6 Gy). MMP1 expression was downregulated via the application of a specific small interfering (si)‑RNA. The viability and migra...

Insulin ameliorates pulmonary edema through the upregulation of epithelial sodium channel via the PI3K/SGK1 pathway in mice with lipopolysaccharide ‑induced lung injury.
Insulin ameliorates pulmonary edema through the upregulation of epithelial sodium channel via the PI3K/SGK1 pathway in mice with lipopolysaccharide‑induced lung injury. Mol Med Rep. 2019 Jan 02;: Authors: Deng W, Li CY, Tong J, He J, Zhao Y, Wang DX Abstract Epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) provides the driving force for the removal of edema from the alveolar spaces in acute lung injury (ALI). Our previous study reported that insulin increased the expression of α‑ENaC, possibly via the serum/glucocorticoid‑inducible kinase‑1 (SGK1) pathway in ALI; however, the upstream regulator of SGK1 activi...

Pain polymorphisms and opioids: An evidence based review.
Authors: Vieira CMP, Fragoso RM, Pereira D, Medeiros R Abstract Despite the various different candidate genetic polymorphisms of potential clinical relevance, there is not enough understanding of the inter‑individual variability in analgesic administration. The cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) genotype is thought to be one of the most studied. The aim of the present evidence‑based review was to determine if there is now sufficient evidence to make clinical recommendations based on a specific genomic profile. The data sources utilized were as follows: PubMed (NLM) database, Evidence Based Medicine Guidelines and Goo...

Chrysin protects human osteoarthritis chondrocytes by inhibiting inflammatory mediator expression via HMGB1 suppression.
Authors: Zhang C, Yu W, Huang C, Ding Q, Liang C, Wang L, Hou Z, Zhang Z Abstract High‑mobility group box chromosomal protein (HMGB‑1) contributes to osteoarthritis (OA) by modulating various oxidative, inflammatory and apoptotic signaling pathways. The effect of chrysin (CH), a natural plant flavonoid, and its functional interaction with HMGB‑1, was investigated in a chondrocyte model of OA. Human chondrocytes were pre‑treated with CH, and then subsequently treated with IL‑1β to induce the formation of chondrocytes similar to those found in OA joints. Next, the expression level of HMGB‑1 was determine...

Inhibition of lactate dehydrogenase A suppresses inflammatory response in RAW 264.7 macrophages.
Authors: Song YJ, Kim A, Kim GT, Yu HY, Lee ES, Park MJ, Kim YJ, Shim SM, Park TS Abstract Lactate is an important metabolite in cellular metabolism and fluctuates in certain disease conditions including cancer and immune diseases. It was hypothesized that a decrease in lactate would modulate the inflammatory response elicited by lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in macrophages. When RAW 264.7 macrophages were treated with FX11, a specific lactate dehydrogenase (LDHA) inhibitor, the expression of the cytokines, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX‑2) was downregulated due to reduced cellular l...
