Caracterización clínica de pacientes con miopatía inflamatoria en la región del Maule

Rev. méd. Maule; 39 (2), 2024
Inflammatory myopathies belong to a heterogeneous group of autoimmune diseases, which are mainly characterized by muscle weakness, elevated muscle enzymes, myopathic changes on electromyography, and muscle biopsy abnormalities. They may also have extraocular manifestations as well as involvement of the l...

Associação entre microRNA circulantes, biomarcadores cardiometabólicos e dieta em indivíduos adultos participantes de um estudo de base populacional - ISA-Capital

Os microRNA circulantes são pequenos RNA não codificantes que se apresentam como potenciais biomarcadores de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT) e uma ferramenta para o manejo terapêutico. Diante do exposto, o estudo em tela teve como objetivo avaliar o perfil de expressão de microRNA plas...

microRNAs e seus mecanismos de regulação gênica na toxoplasmose gestacional

A toxoplasmose é uma zoonose cosmopolita e quando a infecção ocorre durante a gravidez (toxoplasmose gestacional) o parasita pode atravessar a placenta, causando a forma congênita, e causar danos graves. Investigar como os microRNAs regulam a infecção pode oferecer informações valiosas sobre sua ...

Inhibition of Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion of Keloid Fibroblasts By miR-183-5p Through Downregulating EGR1

Int. j. morphol; 41 (6), 2023
SUMMARY: Keloid scar is a unique benign fibroproliferative tumor of the human skin. Previously, it was reported that early growth response 1 (EGR1), a transcription factor, promotes keloid fibrosis; however, the mechanism by which EGR1 modulates keloid formation was not elaborated. In this research, the ...

MiR-15b-5p Promotes Growth and Metastasis of Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma

Int. j. morphol; 41 (6), 2023
SUMMARY: We investigated the expression and clinical significance of miR-15b-5p in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) through bioinformatics analysis and experimental verification. The differentially expressed miRNAs were screened in the GEO database. Venn diagram showed that there were 5 up-regulated...

3D-Structural Characterization of MicroRNA Expressed in Leprosy

Introduction: Hansen’s disease, or leprosy is caused by Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae), is a major public health problem in developing countries, and affecting the skin and peripheral nerves. However, M. leprae can also affect bone tissue, mucous membranes, liver, eyes, and testicles, producing a var...

Unveiling the role of osteoblastic micro RNAs in the skeleton: from biological functions to therapeutic potential

Actual. osteol; 19 (1), 2023
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that play critical roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation. They function by binding to target messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules, leading to their degradation or inhibiting their translation i...

A comprehensive overview of miRNA targeting drought stress resistance in plants

Braz. j. biol; 83 (), 2023
Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are essential nonprotein-coding genes. In a range of organisms, miRNAs has been reported to play an essential role in regulating gene expressions at post-transcriptional level. They participate in most of the stress responsive processes in plants. Drought is an ultimate abioti...

Prospective insight into the role of benzyl propylene glycoside as a modulator of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway in the management of nonalcoholic fatty pancreas animal model

Biol. Res; 56 (), 2023
BACKGROUND: Nonalcoholic fatty pancreatitis (NAFP) is one of the metabolic syndrome manifestations that need further studies to determine its molecular determinants and find effective medications. We aimed to investigate the potential effect of benzyl propylene glycoside on NAFP management via targeting ...
