Identifying potential therapeutic targets for ischemic stroke through immune infiltration analysis and construction of a programmed cell death ‑related ceRNA network
Exp Ther Med. 2022 Sep 21;24(5):680. doi: 10.3892/etm.2022.11616. eCollection 2022 Nov.ABSTRACTThe present study aimed to uncover the underlying mechanisms and potential intervention targets of ischemic stroke (IS). An immune cell infiltration analysis using CIBERSORT was performed on two stroke-related datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to generate a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. Gene Ontology (GO) functional annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were used to predict potential biological functions of the network. Differentially expressed genes in the ceRNA net...

NAMPT as a Dedifferentiation-Inducer Gene: NAD+ as Core Axis for Glioma Cancer Stem-Like Cells Maintenance
Conclusion and Perspectives Gliomas are the most prevalent primary brain cancer in adults and include a broad category of tumors including astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, and GBM. Regardless of tumor aggressiveness, malignancy, and infiltration, these glia-derived tumors rarely exceed a median survival time of 12–14 months. Driven by the infiltrative nature of these tumors, the clinical approach is difficult and relapses often occur with fatal consequences. These unsuccessful attempts to control glioma's fate have fostered research looking for more effective therapies. (GSCs) are a small subset of CD133&#...

Neuroprotective activity of leukemia inhibitory factor is relayed through myeloid zinc finger-1 in a rat model of stroke
AbstractThe aim of this study was to determine whether leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) exerts its neuroprotective effects through signal transduction of the transcription factor myeloid zinc finger-1 (MZF-1). According to the hypothesis of this study, MZF-1 mediates LIF-induced neuroprotective signaling during ELVO through increased expression and transcriptional activity. To determine the in vivo role of MZF-1 in LIF-induced neuroprotection, we used Genomatix software was used to MZF-1 sites in the promoter region of the rat superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3) gene. Stroke was induced via middle cerebral artery occlusion, and ...
