Association of DNMT3B -283T>C polymorphism with risk of lung and gastric cancer: a case-control study and a meta-analysis.

Purpose: To investigate the association of DNMT3B -283T>C polymorphism with the risk of lung or gastric cancer, which was followed by a meta-analysis.

Methods: The genotyping of -283T>C was performed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and was confirmed by sequencing.

Results: The results of this case-control study showed that -283T>C was not associated with the risk of lung or gastric cancer, and further stratified analysis according to age, gender, smoking status, and alcohol status confirmed the present finding.

Emodin attenuates TNF-α-induced apoptosis and autophagy in mouse C2C12 myoblasts though the phosphorylation of Akt.

Emodin, a major component of Rheum palmatum, has been reported to significantly protect neural tissue against apoptosis and autophagy. However, the effects and underlying mechanisms of action of emodin in muscle atrophy are still poorly defined. In this study, we investigated the protective effects and the underlying mechanisms by which emodin acts on tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)-induced apoptosis and autophagy in mouse C2C12 myoblasts.
