Tripartite motif-containing protein 14 (TRIM14) is a tumor-promoter in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). We found that miR-4443 expression was significantly downregulated in PTC tumor tissue, and was negatively associated with TRIM14. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between miR-4443 and TRIM14 on metastasis and energy metabolism in PTC and the underlying mechanisms.

Objective: In this study, we pretreated the mice ASMCs by dexamethasone (Dex) within 10 min, to test the peak of [Ca2+]i and phospho-PLCbeta (ser1105) in the cells by treated with Ach.

Methods: The peak of [Ca2+]i was measured by Fura-2/AM methods and the phospho-PLCbeta-ser1105 was by Western blot, and compared with dexamethasone pretreated groups. Glucocorticoid receptor antagonist RU486 and the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide groups were settled in our study.

The common disease asthma is characterized by the obstruction, inflammation and increased sensitivity of the airways. Glucocorticoids (GCs) are one of the most potent anti-inflammatory agents available for treating allergic disease. In this study, we report that the GC budesonide (BUD) can rapidly inhibit the histamine-induced contractions of airway smooth muscle in a process mediated by non-genomic mechanisms.
