Compound Danshen Dripping Pills pretreatment protects the heart from ischemia/reperfusion injury by enhancing autophagic flux

Abstract Compound Danshen Dripping Pills (CDDPs) have been used in clinical treatment to protect the heart from ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury for many years. However, the underlying mechanism implicated in the protective effects remains to be explored. Here, we determined the effects of CDDPs in Sprag...

The Human Host Defense Peptide LL-37 Overexpressed in Lung Cell Lines by Methanolic Extract of Valeriana officinalis

Abstract The present study investigated the effects of valerian methanolic extract and valerenic acid on the expression of LL-37 gene and protein in A549 and MRC5 line cells. After preparing Valerian seeds, sowing them in March 2020, and harvesting the rhizome in October 2020, the extract was prepared fr...

Efecto de la dieta CAF sobre la capacidad de EX4 de modular la expresión de marcadores proteicos de oxidación de ácidos grasos y termogénesis en músculo de ratones

El ambiente obesogénico promueve la obesidad al facilitar el acceso y consumo de una amplia variedad de alimentos palatables altos en calorías. La activación del receptor de GLP1 (GLP1R) reduce la ingesta de alimentos, enlentece el vaciamiento gástrico y promueve un balance energético negativo a tra...

Effects of the microRNA-99a-5p/VLDLR axis in lung cancer cell sensitivity to chemotherapy and its mechanism

Abstract Lung cancer is a major cause of cancer-related death worldwide. This study investigated the regulatory effects of the microRNA-99a-5p (miR-99a-5)/VLDLR axis on lung cancer cell sensitivity to chemotherapy and its mechanism. miR-99a-5p and VLDLR expression levels were quantified using RT-qPCR and...

Pre-treatment of the beta3-adrenergic receptor agonist BRL37344 reduces in vivo myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury by improving AMPK and SIRT1 activity and by suppressing mTOR and p70S6K signaling pathways

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the role and signaling pathways of β3-AR in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, which is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. 47 male rats were randomly divided into two main groups to evaluate infarct size and molecular parameters. Rats in...

RGD peptide inhibits tumor growth by affecting angiogenesis related signaling pathway of laryngeal cancer stem cells

Int. j. morphol; 40 (6), 2022
SUMMARY: This study is to investigate the role and mechanism of RGD peptide in laryngeal cancer stem cells (CSCs). Laryngeal cancer CD133+Hep-2 CSCs were sorted by flow cytometry. RGD peptide was co-cultured with sorted laryngeal CSCs. Cell proliferation was detected with CCK-8 assay. The mRNA levels of ...

Regulation of Notch1 and Foxp1 by MiR-34a in psoriasis vulgaris

Int. j. morphol; 40 (3), 2022
SUMMARY: This study is to investigate the regulation of Notch1 and Foxp1 by miR-34a in the development of psoriasis vulgaris. RT-PCR was used to compare the levels of miR-34a in the skin lesions of 20 patients with psoriasis vulgaris and 20 normal skin tissues. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the...

Protective effects of psoralen polymer lipid nanoparticles on doxorubicin - induced myocardial toxicity

Abstract Doxorubicin (DOX) induced myocardial toxicity may limit its therapeutic use in clinic. Psoralen (PSO), a major active tricyclic furocoumarin extracted from Psoralea corylifolia, is widely used as an antineoplastic agent in treatment of leukemia and other cancers. This study is aim to find the pr...

Clonagem, expressão recombinante e validação por microarray de proteínas alimentares potencialmente alergênicas

A maioria das respostas alérgicas a alimentos é mediada por IgE, que pode ser detectada para fins de diagnóstico da alergia alimentar. No entanto, para isso é necessário que alérgenos purificados estejam disponíveis para a elaboração dos diferentes formatos de ensaio, inclusive por microarray, q...

A map of neutrophil granules by proteomics

Neutrophils are polymorphonuclear leukocytes that play a key role in the organism defense. These cells enroll in a range of actions to ensure pathogen elimination and orchestrate both innate and adaptative immune responses. The main physiological structures of neutrophils are their storage organelles tha...
