[Effects of Xuesaitong injection on inflammation induced by OGD/reoxygenation in BV2 microglia].

The present study aims to investigate the effects of Xuesaitong (XST)injection on inflammation induced by OGD/reoxygenation in BV2 microglia cell and explore the underlying mechanisms.The effects of XST injection were evaluated in terms of cell viability, secretion of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 into culture media, protein expression of p-ERK1/2, p-JNK and p-p38, and nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65. The results showed that XST injection significantly increased cell viability, suppressed release of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 and down-regulated p-JNK1/2 and p-p38 MAPK expression in BV2 microglia cells induced by OGD/R injury, whereas it had no effect on p-ERK1/2 expression.

Knockdown of E2F3 Inhibits Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion and Increases Apoptosis in Glioma Cells.

E2F3a, as a member of the E2F family, is essential for cell division associated with the progression of many cancers. However, the biological effect of E2F3a on glioma is not understood as well. To investigate the functional mechanism of E2F3a in glioma, we examined the expression of E2F3a in glioma tissue and cell lines.
