Wavelet denoising of fiber optic monitoring signals in permafrost regions.

To address the noise issue in fiber optic monitoring signals in frozen soil areas, this study employs wavelet denoising techniques to process the fiber optic signals. Since existing parameter choices for wavelets are typically based on conventional environments, selecting suitable parameters for frozen soil regions becomes crucial. In this work, an index library is constructed based on commonly used wavelet basis functions in civil engineering.

Targeting LncRNA with antisense oligonucleotide inhibits malignancy of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells and .

Accumulating evidence has indicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical roles in the development and progression of cancers, including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, the mechanisms of lncRNAs in ESCC are still incompletely understood and therapeutic attempts for targeting cancer-associated lncRNA remain a challenge. By RNA-sequencing analysis, we identified that was a novel ESCC-associated lncRNA.

Rotenone, an environmental toxin, causes abnormal methylation of the mouse brain organoid's genome and ferroptosis.

More and more reports have pointed out that rotenone, as an insecticide, has high neurotoxicity and reproductive toxicity to livestock and mammals. As a highly physiological correlation system of internal organs, quasi-organs have great potential in the fields of drug toxicity and efficacy test, toxicology research, developmental biology and so on. In this study, brain organs (mBOs) derived from mouse neural stem cells were used to investigate the effects of rotenone on the physiological activity and epigenetic modification of mBOs.

Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Induce Ferroptosis of Human Ovarian Cancer Stem Cells by Weakening Cellular Autophagy.

Human ovarian cancer stem cells (HuOCSCs) are the main source of ovarian cancer recurrence, metastasis, and drug resistance. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are well-known nucleic acid or drug carriers owing to their controllable properties, superior stability, and easy modification. However, whether SPIONs can inhibit the activity of HuOCSCs by inducing ferroptosis remains unclear.

Amniotic fluid mesenchymal stem cells repair mouse corneal cold injury by promoting mRNA N4-acetylcytidine modification and ETV4/JUN/CCND2 signal axis activation.

Severe corneal injury is one of the main causes of loss of visual function. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the ability to repair damaged cells in vivo. The present study aimed to explore whether MSCs could function as a cell therapy tool to replace traditional methods to treat corneal injury.

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles drive miR-485-5p inhibition in glioma stem cells by silencing Tie1 expression.

Gliomas are highly malignant nervous system tumours. Studies shown that cancer stem cells are one of the main reasons underlying recurrence, metastasis, and poor prognosis in glioma cases. Our previous studies have found that superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) can act as nucleic acid carriers to drive intracellular overexpression of these nucleic acids.

Background: Inflammation and oxidative stress induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein are the main causes of vascular endothelial injury and atherosclerosis. Endothelial cells are important for the formation and repair of blood vessels. However, the detailed mechanism underlying the regulation of maturity and antioxidation of stem cell-derived endothelial like cells remains unclear.

Fisetin regulates gut microbiota to decrease CCR9/CXCR3/CD4 T-lymphocyte count and IL-12 secretion to alleviate premature ovarian failure in mice.

Currently, there are no studies reporting the efficacy of fisetin in premature ovarian failure (POF). In this study, using mouse and models, we found that fisetin not only significantly reversed ovarian damage in POF mice, but also effectively increased lifespan and fertility. Subsequently, we carried out 16S rRNA v3+v4 sequencing using fresh feces samples from each group of mice.

miR-15b induces premature ovarian failure in mice via inhibition of α-Klotho expression in ovarian granulosa cells.

A thorough understanding of epigenetics regulatory mechanisms of premature ovarian failure (POF) is still lacking. Here, we found that cyclophosphamide induced significantly decrease in α-Klotho (Kl) expression in mouse ovarian granulosa cells (mOGCs), suggesting that cyclophosphamide inhibited Kl expression. Cyclophosphamide also significantly accelerated ageing and led to a decline in the pregnancy rate of C.

Fisetin decreases TET1 activity and CCNY/CDK16 promoter 5hmC levels to inhibit the proliferation and invasion of renal cancer stem cell.

As a natural flavonol, fisetin has significant inhibitory effects on many cancers. Although fisetin can inhibit kidney cancer, its effects on kidney renal stem cells (HuRCSCs) remain unknown. Our study found that renal cancer tissues and CD44+/CD105+ HuRCSCs both show high TET1 protein expression.

Induction of miR-15a expression by tripterygium glycosides caused premature ovarian failure by suppressing the Hippo-YAP/TAZ signaling effector Lats1.

Tripterygium glycosides (TGs) are chemotherapeutic drugs and immunosuppressant agents for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases. We have previously reported that TGs induces premature ovarian failure (POF) by inducing cytotoxicity in ovarian granulosa cells (OGCs). Hence, we report that TGs suppress the expression of the Hippo-YAP/TAZ pathway in murine OGCs in vitro and in vivo.

DC-CIK cells derived from ovarian cancer patient menstrual blood activate the TNFR1-ASK1-AIP1 pathway to kill autologous ovarian cancer stem cells.

Ovarian cancer stem cells (OCSCs) are highly carcinogenic and have very strong resistance to traditional chemotherapeutic drugs; therefore, they are an important factor in ovarian cancer metastasis and recurrence. It has been reported that dendritic cell (DC)-cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells have significant killing effects on all cancer cells across many systems including the blood, digestive, respiratory, urinary and reproductive systems. However, whether DC-CIK cells can selectively kill OCSCs is currently unclear.

SPION-mediated miR-141 promotes the differentiation of HuAESCs into dopaminergic neuron-like cells via suppressing lncRNA-HOTAIR.

In this study, a bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assay revealed that microRNA-141 could silence the expression of lncRNA-HOTAIR by binding to specific sites on lncRNA-HOTAIR. We used superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) to mediate the high expression of microRNA-141 (SPIONs@miR-141) in human amniotic epithelial stem cells (HuAESCs), which was followed by the induction of the differentiation of HuAESCs into dopaminergic neuron-like cells (iDNLCs). qPCR, western blot, immunofluorescence staining and HPLC all suggested that SPION-mediated overexpression of miR-141 could promote an increased expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), DAT and 5-TH in HuAESC-derived iDNLCs.

MicroRNA‑32 silences WWP2 expression to maintain the pluripotency of human amniotic epithelial stem cells and β islet‑like cell differentiation.

Human amniotic epithelial stem cells (HuAECs) exhibit pluripotent characteristics, which are similar to those of embryonic stem cells, and can differentiate into various adult tissues and cells through directed induction. However, in culture, HuAECs tend to lose their pluripotency, and their directed differentiation capability declines with increasing passage number. The stem cell pluripotency factor octamer‑binding protein 4 (Oct4) is an important transcription factor that promotes stem cell self‑proliferation and maintains their pluripotency.
