Knocking Down LncRNA-GAS5 Restores the Inhibition of Cuprotosis Protein FDX-1 by .

This study investigated the regulatory effect of LncRNA-GAS5 on FDX-1 in HEK293T cells by . Transfected LncRNA-GAS5 overexpressing or knocking down plasmids into HEK293T cells, and the expression of FDX-1 was detected by Western blotting. inhibited the expression of FDX-1.

Syntaxin17 Restores Lysosomal Function and Inhibits Pyroptosis Caused by Acinetobacter baumannii.

Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) causes autophagy flux disorder by degrading STX17, resulting in a serious inflammatory response. It remains unclear whether STX17 can alter the inflammatory response process by controlling autolysosome function.

Clinicopathological and molecular analysis of microsatellite instability in prostate cancer: a multi-institutional study in China.

Background: Microsatellite instability (MSI), or mismatch repair-deficiency (dMMR), is rare in prostate cancers (PCas). The histological and molecular features of PCas with MSI/dMMR are incompletely described. Thus, we sought to identify the characteristics of PCas with MSI/dMMR.

[Identification of Weak D Type 1 in Rh Blood Group System and Discussion of Transfusion Strategy].

Objective: To investigate the molecular mechanism of one patient with abnormal serological phenotype in RhD and discuss the transfusion strategy.

Methods: The RhD variant sample was screened from a patient with IgM type anti-D antibody and further determined by three different sources of anti-D antibodies. Ten exons and the adjacent introns of the RHD gene were amplified, purified and sequenced.

up-regulates LncRNA-GAS5 and promotes the degradation of STX17 by blocking the activation of YY1.

autophagy, affects the degradation of autophagy, and causes severe inflammatory injury. LncRNA growth arrest-specific transcript 5 (LncRNA-GAS5) and Yin and Yang 1 (YY1) are known to play an important role in the regulation of autophagy, however, the precise role of LncRNA-GAS5 and YY1 in the damage to autophagy caused by unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of LncRNA-GAS5 and YY1 in the regulation of autophagy induced by .

Interactions between alloy elements and oxygen at the steel-liquid LBE interface determined from first-principles molecular dynamics simulations.

Lead bismuth eutectic (LBE) alloy shows high potential for application in advanced nuclear systems such as lead-alloy-cooled fast reactors. However, high-temperature LBE liquid is prone to corrode the reference containment material, typically made of steel, through a process known as liquid metal corrosion. In this work, an extensive set of first-principles calculations was performed to investigate the diffusion behavior of steel alloy elements and O in liquid LBE.

Acinetobacter baumannii outer membrane protein A induces HeLa cell autophagy via MAPK/JNK signaling pathway.

Autophagy is an evolutionary conserved self-balancing process that plays an important role in maintaining cellular homeostasis via the clearance of damaged organelles and misfolded proteins. Infection-triggered autophagy specifically inhibits the invasion of intracellular bacterial replication and hence protects the cells from microbial infections. It has been reported that Acinetobacter baumannii trigger cell autophagy.

Coating Titania Nanoparticles with Epoxy-Containing Catechol Polymers via Cu(0)-Living Radical Polymerization as Intelligent Enzyme Carriers.

Immobilization of enzyme could offer the biocatalyst with increased stability and important recoverability, which plays a vital role in the enzyme's industrial applications. In this study, we present a new strategy to build an intelligent enzyme carrier by coating titania nanoparticles with thermoresponsive epoxy-functionalized polymers. Zero-valent copper-mediated living radical polymerization (Cu(0)-LRP) was utilized herein to copolymerize N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and glycidyl acrylate (GA) directly from an unprotected dopamine-functionalized initiator to obtain an epoxy-containing polymer with terminal anchor for the "grafting to" or "one-pot" modification of titania nanoparticles.

Biomass based activated carbon obtained from sludge and sugarcane bagasse for removing lead ion from wastewater.

Sewage sludge and bagasse were used as raw materials to produce cheap and efficient adsorbent with great adsorption capacity of Pb(2+). By pyrolysis at 800 °C for 0.5 h, the largest surface area (806.

Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 protects rat pancreatic islets from cytokine-induced apoptosis through Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription pathway.

Background: Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins are inhibitors of cytokine signaling pathway involved in negative feedback loops. Although SOCS1 is an important intracellular suppressor of apoptosis in a variety of cell types, its role in cytokine-induced pancreatic β-cell apoptosis remains unclear. The present study investigated potential effects of SOCS1 on the cytokine-induced pancreatic β-cell apoptosis.
