Induced human pluripotent stem cells (HEBHMUi013-A) derived from a patient of sporadic Alzheimer's disease.

Sporadic Alzheimer's disease (sAD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide, which is characterized by the progressive cognitive dysfunction and behavioral impairment. Here, we generated a human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from a 78-year-old male patient clinically diagnosed with sAD. The iPSC line expressed pluripotency markers, showed normal karyotype, and had the ability to differentiate into three germ layers in vitro.

[MiR-21 Regulates the Proliferation of Multiple Myeloma Cells by Inhibiting the Expression of KLF5].

Objective: To study the expression of miR-21 in multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines and plasma cells of patients, and explore the mechanism of miR-21 in MM.

Methods: Bone marrow samples from 30 patients with MM and 18 healthy controls were collected. The plasma cells were separated by magnetic beads.

Human induced pluripotent stem cells generated from a 45-years-old male donor of type 2 diabetes mellitus with APOE-epsilon3/epsilon3 alleles.

Apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene encodes three protein isoforms (APOEε-22/ε-33/ε-44), which governs the transportation and metabolism of lipoproteins differently. While abnormalities in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism have been identified as risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). APOE gene polymorphisms might be correlated with increased risk of T2DM.

Reprogramming of one human induced pluripotent stem cell line from healthy donor.

In this study, skin biopsy was, and the fibroblasts were isolated from the dermal explant cultures. Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was generated from the skin fibroblasts collected from a healthy 50-year old male donor with informed consent. The reprogramming of fibroblasts was performed with four Yamanaka factors containing Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc.

MiR-155 promotes interleukin-1β-induced chondrocyte apoptosis and catabolic activity by targeting PIK3R1-mediated PI3K/Akt pathway.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint disease characterized by progressive cartilage degradation, in which elevated chondrocyte apoptosis and catabolic activity play an important role. MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) has recently been shown to regulate apoptosis and catabolic activity in some pathological circumstances, yet, whether and how miR-155 is associated with OA pathology remain unexplored. We report here that miR-155 level is significantly up-regulated in human OA cartilage biopsies and also in primary chondrocytes stimulated by interleukin-1β (IL-1β), a pivotal pro-catabolic factor promoting cartilage degradation.

Long noncoding RNA LINC00314 facilitates osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells through the hsa-miR-129-5p/GRM5 axis via the Wnt signaling pathway.

Background: Many studies have shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are closely related to the stimulation of osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and the prevention of osteoporosis. Current research aimed to investigate the novel lncRNA and explored the function and molecular mechanism of the LINC00314/miR-129-5p/GRM5 axis in regulating osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs.

Methods: LncRNA and miRNA sequencing was performed in normal and osteogenic differentiation-induced ADSCs (osteogenic group).
