LincRNA-EPS Promotes Proliferation of Aged Dermal Fibroblast by Inducing CCND1.

The aging process is linked to numerous cellular changes, among which are modifications in the functionality of dermal fibroblasts. These fibroblasts play a crucial role in sustaining the healing of skin wounds. Reduced cell proliferation is a hallmark feature of aged dermal fibroblasts.

miR-146a Decreases Inflammation and ROS Production in Aged Dermal Fibroblasts.

Aging is associated with a decline in the functionality of various cell types, including dermal fibroblasts, which play a crucial role in maintaining skin homeostasis and wound healing. Chronic inflammation and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production are hallmark features of aging, contributing to impaired wound healing. MicroRNA-146a (miR-146a) has been implicated as a critical regulator of inflammation and oxidative stress in different cell types, yet its role in aged dermal fibroblasts and its potential relevance to wound healing remains poorly understood.

LncRNA MALAT1 Regulates Hyperglycemia Induced EMT in Keratinocyte via miR-205.

Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is critical to cutaneous wound healing. When skin is injured, EMT activates and mobilizes keratinocytes toward the wound bed, therefore enabling re-epithelialization. This process becomes dysregulated in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).

Pharmacists' acceptable levels of compensation for MTM services: a conjoint analysis.

Background: The Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 requires prescription drug plans to provide medication therapy management (MTM) services to Medicare beneficiaries who are at high risk for inappropriate use of medications. However, inadequate compensation has been a barrier for MTM expansion among pharmacists.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine pharmacists' acceptable levels of compensation for MTM services.

Overexpression of apolipoprotein A-IV enhances lipid secretion in IPEC-1 cells by increasing chylomicron size.

Intestinal apolipoprotein A-IV expression is highly regulated by dietary lipid in newborn swine, suggesting a role in lipid absorption. Constitutive overexpression of apoA-IV in newborn swine enterocytes enhances basolateral secretion of triacylglycerol (TG) in TG-rich lipoproteins 4.9-fold (Lu, S.

Regulation of apo A-IV transcription by lipid in newborn swine is associated with a promoter DNA-binding protein.

Dietary lipid acutely upregulates apolipoprotein (apo) A-IV expression by sevenfold at the pretranslational level in neonatal swine jejunum. To determine the mechanism of this regulation, two-day-old female swine received intraduodenal infusions of low- and high-triacylglycerol (TG) isocaloric diets for 24 h. Nuclear runoff assay confirmed apo A-IV gene transcriptional regulation by the high-TG diet.
