Promotion of mitochondrial biogenesis via the regulation of PARIS and PGC-1α by parkin as a mechanism of neuroprotection by carnosic acid.

Background: Impairment of mitochondrial biogenesis is associated with the pathological progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). Parkin-interacting substrate (PARIS) can be ubiquitinated by parkin and prevents the repression of proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1-alpha (PGC-1α).

Purpose: This study investigated whether the neuroprotective mechanism of carnosic acid (CA) from rosemary is mediated via the regulation of PARIS and PGC-1α by parkin.

[Comparative analysis and comprehensive evaluation for growth and photosynthetic characteristics of different lily species and varieties].

The biological characteristics,agronomic traits,yield traits,stress resistance,quality and photosynthetic characteristics among six lily varieties were compared in order to screen out the excellent lily varieties suitable for spread planting in Hunan province. Lilium longiflorum had the longest growth period,246 days,among these six lily varieties,while others were about 170 days. The leaves of L.

Upregulated Expression of Long Non-Coding RNA, LINC00460, Suppresses Proliferation of Colorectal Cancer.

Through bioinformatics analysis, a novel lncRNA, LINC00460, was implicated in the development of multiple cancers. However, the precise expression pattern, clinical significance and biological function of LINC00460 in colorectal cancer (CRC) remain unknown. Network databases were used to investigate the correlation between LINC00460 and CRC.
