Objective: To investigate the cell apoptosis and expressions of c-fos and c-jun proteins induced by acrylamide (AA) in L-02 human liver embryo cell.
Methods: The cell survival rate, cell apoptosis and protein expressions of c-fos and c-jun were measured respectively after L-02 cell were exposed to different final concentration of AA (low: 0.01, 0.1 mmol/l; middle: 0.1, 0.5, 2.5 mmol/l; high: 5.0, 7.5 mmol/l) for 12 h and 24 h, respectively.
Results: The cell survival rate in the low dose AA-treated group was higher than that in the control group, but the high dose AA-treated groups demonstrated a significantly lower cell survival rate than the control group (P < 0.05). The percentages of apoptosis were significantly higher than that of the control group in the high dose AA-treated groups (P < 0.05). The expressions of c-fos and c-jun of AA-treated group were higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05), and the expressions increased first and then decreased with the AA exaltation; furthermore, the expressions also raised along with the exprosure time (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: AA can induce the apoptosis of L-02 cell and high protein expressions of c-fos and c-jun proto-oncogenes.

Objectives: Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable hematological malignancy, Dual-specificity phosphatase-1 (DUSP1) plays a crucial role in the initiation and progression of various tumors. Here, we aim to elucidate the role of DUSP1 in MM.
Methods: DUSP1 mRNA expression was analyzed based on public datasets, and protein expression was determined by immunohistochemistry.

Current treatments for ischemic stroke aim to achieve rapid reperfusion with intravenous thrombolysis and/or endovascular thrombectomy, which have proven to attenuate disability. Despite the significant progress in reperfusion therapies, functional recovery remains inconsistent, primarily due to ongoing neuronal excitotoxicity and neuroinflammation. In this study we investigated the relationship between neuronal activity and neuroinflammation in an ischemic mouse model using chemogenetic techniques.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. This study aimed to explore the role of hsa-miR-101-3p in HCC pathogenesis by identifying key genes and pathways. A comprehensive bioinformatics analysis revealed twelve hub genes (ETNK1, BICRA, IL1R1, KDM3A, ARID2, GSK3β, EZH2, NOTCH1, SMARCA4, FOS, CREB1, and CASP3) and highlighted their involvement in crucial oncogenic pathways, including PI3K/Akt, mTOR, MAPK, and TGF-β.

Vincristine (VCR) is a commonly used clinical anti-cancer drug, but it can also induce neurotoxicity and cause vincristine-induced neuropathic pain (VINP). The metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) within spinal dorsal horn neurons regulates the transmission of pain mediated by glutamate. In this study, we investigated for the first time the role of mGluR5 in the transmission of noxious information in VINP.

Background And Aims: Accumulating evidence suggests the microbiota is a key factor in Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI), by affecting host immune and neural systems. However, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive due to their complexity and clinical heterogeneity of patients with DGBIs. We aimed to identify neuroimmune pathways that are critical in microbiota-gut-brain communication during de novo gut colonization.
