Long noncoding RNA LINC00968 inhibits proliferation, migration and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma through targeting miR-22-5p/CDC14A axis.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a high aggressive human cancer which usually diagnosed at advanced stages. Accumulating evidences indicate that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial participants in LUAD progression. In the present study, we found that lncRNA LINC00968 was significantly down-regulated in LUAD tissues and cell lines.

EPO modified MSCs can inhibit asthmatic airway remodeling in an animal model.

There was no effective measures can be obtained at present to reverse or prevent airway remodeling. We investigated the therapeutic effect of Erythropoietin (EPO) gene modified mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on asthmatic airway remodeling and the possible underlied molecular mechanisms. EPO gene was transfected into MSCs via lentivirus vector.

Therapeutic efficacy of a co-blockade of IL-13 and IL-25 on airway inflammation and remodeling in a mouse model of asthma.

Repeated airway inflammation and unremitting remodeling provoke irreversible pulmonary dysfunction and resistance to current drugs in patients with chronic bronchial asthma. Interleukin (IL)-13 and IL-25 play an important role in airway inflammation and remodeling in asthma. We aimed to investigate whether co-inhibiting IL-13 and IL-25 can effectively down-regulate allergen-induced airway inflammation and remodeling in mice.

The role of bone marrow-derived adult stem cells in a transgenic mouse model of allergic asthma.

Background: Asthmatic airway remodeling is an abnormal injury/repair process of the small airways caused by chronic inflammation in which the quantities of multiple cells increase dramatically. However, the origin of these proliferative cells is still undetermined.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine whether bone marrow (BM)-derived adult stem cells are responsible for the proliferative cells in asthmatic airway remodeling.
