Interplay of TGFβ signaling and microRNA in thyroid cell loss of differentiation and cancer progression

ABSTRACT Thyroid cancer has been rapidly increasing in prevalence among humans in last 2 decades and is the most prevalent endocrine malignancy. Overall, thyroid-cancer patients have good rates of long-term survival, but a small percentage present poor outcome. Thyroid cancer aggressiveness is essentiall...

La leptina promueve la expresión de Hic-5 y la formación de puntos de actina por la vía dependiente de FAK-Src en células epiteliales mamarias MCF10A

Biomédica (Bogotá); 39 (3), 2019
Resumen Introducción. La leptina es una hormona secretada por los adipocitos que se ha relacionado con el proceso de la transición de epitelio a mesénquima (Epithelial- Mesenchymal Transition, EMT). Promueve la migración e invasión de las células del epitelio mamario mediante la activación de las...

Avances en el conocimiento de las bases moleculares y celulares de las cardiopatías congénitas. Parte 1 de 2: Morfogénesis cardíaca

CorSalud; 11 (3), 2019
RESUMEN Las cardiopatías congénitas son los defectos congénitos más frecuentes en humanos. Muchos estudios indican que el desarrollo cardíaco está estrechamente regulado por diferentes vías de señalización celular y eventos morfológicos, genéticamente controlados. La identificación de nuevos ...

Non-alcoholic fatty pancreatic disease and insulin resistance: overlooked complication of obstructive sleep apnea and hypopnea syndrome - signaling pathway diagram

Objective: To demonstrate the interaction between obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome, insulin resistance, and non-alcoholic fatty pancreatic disease through the signaling pathway diagram. Methods: To investigate the involvement of metabolic signaling pathway, a search was performed using the Ky...

TLR7 mediates increased vulnerability to ischemic acute kidney injury in diabetes

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE Diabetes is a risk factor for acute kidney injury (AKI). However, its mechanism of pathogenesis has not been elucidated. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of inflammation and the toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) in ischemic AKI for diabetes. METHODS A high glucose hypoxia-...

Characterization of the transcriptional profiles in common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) under PEG-mediated drought stress

BACKGROUND: Common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) is an important staple food crop in southwest China, where drought stress is one of the largest limiting factors that lead to decreased crop production. To reveal the molecular mechanism of common buckwheat in response to drought stress, we performed a ...

Alpha-hederin induces the apoptosis of oral cancer SCC-25 cells by regulating PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway

BACKGROUND: Oral cancer is one of the common malignant tumors of the head and neck. However, current treatments have numerous side effects, and drugs from natural sources may have better therapeutic potential. This research investigated the induction of apoptosis by α-hederin (α-HN), a constituent of P...

The effect of anesthetic preconditioning with sevoflurane on intracellular signal-transduction pathways and apoptosis, in a lung autotransplant experimental model

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 69 (1), 2019
Abstract Background: Anesthetic pre-conditioning attenuates inflammatory response during ischemia-reperfusion lung injury. The molecular mechanisms to explain it are not fully understood. The aim of our investigation was to analyze the molecular mechanism that explain the anti-inflammatory effects of an...

Milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8) attenuates sepsis-induced acute kidney injury by inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathway1

Acta cir. bras; 34 (2), 2019
Abstract Purpose: To explore the effect of milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8) on sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (SAKI). Methods: Male C57BL/6 mice were randomized to control, sham, CLP, CLP+PBS, and CLP+rmMFG-E8 groups. SAKI was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Recomb...

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta inhibitors protectagainst the acute lung injuries resulting from acute necrotizing pancreatitis

Acta cir. bras; 34 (6), 2019
Abstract Purpose The research is intended for clarification of the efficacy as well as the underlying mechanism of GSK-3β inhibitors on the advancement of acute lung injuries in acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) in rats. Methods Seventy-two rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: (1)ANP-veh...
