Association Between TLR4 Gene Polymorphisms and Risk of Preeclampsia: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

BACKGROUND Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) plays a pivotal role in the innate immune response and is hyperactivated in preeclampsia (PE). Several researchers have published conflicting evidence for TLR4 rs4986790 and rs4986791 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as risk factors for PE. The present meta-analysis was conducted to obtain a more definitive conclusion about the effects of these SNPs on PE susceptibility.

The effect of maternal use of telbivudine on neonatal CD4CD25 regulatory T cells for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus.

Antiviral treatment could block mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of hepatitis B virus (HBV) effectively. We examined whether maternal use of telbivudine (LdT) could decrease the proportion of CD4CD25 regulatory T cells and explored the immunological mechanism. A total of 89 pregnant women with HBsAg positive were enrolled, where 30 pregnant women with HBeAg negative (viral load<10 IU/ml) and the other 59 pregnant women with HBeAg positive (viral load≥10 IU/ml) were followed in the study.

Silencing of TBX20 gene expression in rat myocardial and human embryonic kidney cells leads to cell cycle arrest in G2 phase.

Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) are the most common birth defects due to abnormal cardiac development. The T-box 20 (TBX20) gene is a member of the T‑box family of transcription factors and encodes TBX20, which is essential for early heart development. In the present study, reduced TBX20 expression was observed in CHD tissue samples compared with normal tissues, and the function of TBX20 in Rattus norvegicus myocardial cells [H9c2(2-1)] and human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293) was investigated.

Targeting IκB Kinase β/NF-κB Signaling in Human Prostate Cancer by a Novel IκB Kinase β Inhibitor CmpdA.

NF-κB plays an important role in many types of cancer, including prostate cancer, but the role of the upstream kinase of NF-κB, IKKβ, in prostate cancer has neither been fully documented nor are there any effective IKKβ inhibitors used in clinical settings. Here, we have shown that IKKβ activity is mediated by multiple kinases including IKKα in human prostate cancer cell lines that express activated IKKβ. IHC analysis (IHC) of human prostate cancer tissue microarrays (TMA) demonstrates that phosphorylation of IKKα/β within its activation loop gradually increases in low to higher stage tumors as compared with normal tissue.

Amelioration of intracellular stress and reduction of neural tube defects in embryos of diabetic mice by phytochemical quercetin.

Diabetes mellitus in early pregnancy causes birth defects, including neural tube defects (NTDs). Hyperglycemia increases production of nitric oxide (NO) through NO synthase 2 (Nos2) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), generating nitrosative and oxidative stress conditions in the embryo. The present study aimed to target nitrosative stress using a naturally occurring Nos2 inhibitor, quercetin, to prevent NTDs in the embryos of diabetic mice.

Identification of novel cell survival regulation in diabetic embryopathy via phospholipidomic profiling.

Diabetes mellitus in early pregnancy causes birth defects by disturbing metabolic homeostasis and increasing programmed cell death in the embryo. Over-activation of phospholipase Cβ3 and γ1 suggests disturbed phospholipid metabolism, which is an important in regulation of cell signaling and activity. Metabolomic examinations reveal significant changes in the profile of phospholipid metabolism.

VASP activation via the Gα13/RhoA/PKA pathway mediates cucurbitacin-B-induced actin aggregation and cofilin-actin rod formation.
