MicroRNA-212-5p regulates the inflammatory response of periodontal ligament cells by targeting myeloid differentiation factor 88.

Objective: This study was aimed to investigate the effects of microRNA-212-5p (miR-212-5p) and myeloid differentiation factor 88 (Myd88) in Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (P. gingivalis LPS)-challenged human periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs).

Methods: The levels of miR-212-5p and Myd88 in PDLCs were determined via quantitative real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction.

Effects of KIF2A on the prognosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a common tumor in south China. Kinesin family member 2A (KIF2A) belongs to the kinesin-13 family and is associated with the growth and invasion of a number of different types of human cancer, including ovarian, breast and prostate cancer. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression of KIF2A in NPC and explore the relationship between KIF2A and the basic characteristics of 5-8F cells.
