The objective of this study was to explore tissue factor (TF) expression induced by TNF-alpha in cultured human umbilical vien endothelial cells (HUVEC) and its molecular mechanism. TF expression on the surface of HUVEC, TF mRNA and nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) in HUVEC were detected by flow cytometry, RT-PCR and Western blot respectively. The results showed that TNF-alpha could enhance TF expression on the surface of HUVEC, the TF expression increase was highly consistent with the increased synthesis of TF mRNA, and the increase of TF expression was lately appeared for several hours. It was also found activation of NF kappaB at the time TF mRNA increase. In conclusion, NF-kappaB could be activated promptly after HUVEC incubated with TNF-alpha, then it was bound to TF promotor to start the TF transcription, TF mRNA expression was upregulated, that leaded to the increase of TF expression on the HUVEC surface and activated the coagulation cascade.

Objective: TRIB3 has been confirmed to participate in and regulate biological metabolic activities in head and neck tumors such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma and oropharyngeal carcinoma, so the purpose of this study was to explore whether there is a correlation between TRIB3 and Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LSCC) and to preliminarily explore the biological characteristics of TRIB3 in LSCC.
Methods: TRIB3 expression in the LSCC was analyzed based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. CCK-8 assay, Colony Formation Assay, wound healing assay, and Transwell assay were performed to investigate the roles of TRIB3 in the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of LSCC.

There is an enormous potential for cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) systems based on filamentous fungi in view of their simple, fast and mostly inexpensive cultivation with high biomass space-time yields and in view of their catalytic capacity. In 12 of the 22 different filamentous fungi examined, in vitro translation of at least one of the two reporter proteins GFP and firefly luciferase was detected. The lysates showing translation of a reporter protein usually were able to synthesize a functional cell-free expressed unspecific peroxygenase (UPO) from the basidiomycete Cyclocybe (Agrocybe) aegerita.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a syndrome characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance and elevated pulmonary artery pressure, ultimately leading to right heart failure and even death. Increasing evidence implicates the fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) in various metabolic and inflammatory pathways; however, its role in pulmonary endothelial function and PAH remains largely unexplored. In this study, we examined the effects of endothelial cell-specific FTO knockout on PAH development.

Mapping the myomagnetic field of a straight and easily accessible muscle after electrical stimulation using triaxial optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) to assess potential benefits for magnetomyography (MMG). Approach: Six triaxial OPMs were arranged in two rows with three sensors each along the abductor digiti minimi (ADM) muscle. The upper row of sensors was inclined by 45° with respect to the lower row and all sensors were aligned closely to the skin surface without direct contact.
