To gain insights into how TGF-beta regulates epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), we assessed the time course of proteins and mRNAs during EMT by multiplex iTRAQ labeling and 2D-LC-MS/MS, and by hybridization, respectively. Temporal iTRAQ analysis identified 66 proteins as differentially expressed during EMT, including newly associated proteins calpain, fascin and macrophage-migration inhibitory factor (MIF). Comparing protein and mRNA expression overtime showed that all the 14 up-regulated proteins involved in the actin-cytoskeleton remodeling were accompanied by increases in corresponding mRNA expression. Interestingly, siRNA mediated knockdown of cofilin1 potentiated TGF-beta-induced EMT. Further analysis of cofilin1 and beta-actin revealed an increase in their mRNA stability in response to TGF-beta, contributing to the observed increase in mRNA and protein expression. These results are the first demonstration of post-transcriptional regulation of cytoskeletal remodelling and a key role for cofilin1 during TGF-beta-induced EMT.

Background: Drug resistance remains a significant obstacle to Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) successful treatment, often leading to therapeutic failure. Our previous studies demonstrated that Glioma-associated oncogene-1 (GLI1) reduces chemotherapy sensitivity and promotes cell proliferation in AML cells. GANT61, an inhibitor of GLI1, emerges as a promising candidate in AML treatment.

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) pregnancies present a higher risk of singleton preterm birth than natural pregnancies, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains largely unknown. RNA mA modification is a key epigenetic mechanism regulating cellular function, but the role of mA modification, especially its "reader" YTHDC1, in preterm delivery remains undefined. To delineate the role and epigenetic mechanism of mA modification in ART preterm delivery, the effects of YTHDC1 on trophoblastic function were evaluated by CCK-8, EdU, Transwell, and flow cytometry analyses post its overexpression or knockdown.

Bacterial infections are prevalent and the major cause of morbidity and mortality in cirrhosis. Activation of human Kupffer cells (HKCs) from livers is essential for human innate immunity. Cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) plays a crucial role in the control and balance of innate immune and inflammatory reactions.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a prevalent microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus. VEGF plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of DR. To characterize the VEGF-related genes in DR patients, the RNAseq dataset of DR and normal control were downloaded from the GEO database and analyzed using R package limma.

Objectives: To explore the mechanism of Granules (QJZG) for improving thrombocytopenia in a mouse model of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Methods: Twenty-four MRL/lpr lupus mice were randomized equally into 4 groups for treatment with daily gavage of saline, QJZG or prednisone (Pred) or intraperitoneal injection (twice a week) of CaMKK2 activator, with 6 C57BL/6 mice with saline gavage as the control group. After 8 weeks of treatment, the mice were examined for PLT, PCT, PDW, MPV, serum levels of TPO, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α and IFN-γ, and calcium ion fluorescence intensity using ELISA or flow-through assay.
