This study aims to provide experimental proof that Rab6a is an efficient target of microRNA-155 in regulating pro-inflammatory tumor necrosis factor (TNF) secretion stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in macrophages. We identified Rab6a as a new target of microRNA-155 (miR-155) and found that overexpression of miR-155 decreased Rab6a expression at both protein and mRNA levels, which resulted in a significant reduction of TNF secretion induced by lipopolysaccharide stimulation. We have demonstrated that miR-155 can negatively regulate inflammatory TNF secretion in lipopolysaccharide stimulated macrophages, partly by targeting Rab6a, thereby providing new insights into the role of miR-155 in cytokine secretion in inflammatory macrophages.

The current study aimed to improve the oral bioavailability of tenofovir (TNF), an antihuman immunodeficiency viral (HIV) drug, by integrating it into solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), an emerging lipid formulation. The suggested SLNs were generated utilizing the microemulsion process, using Compritol 888 ATO. A Box-Behnken experimental design was attempted to analyze the impact of critical quality attributes (CQAs), such as lipid and surfactant content and homogenization duration on response metrics such as particle size (PS) and percentage entrapment.

Objective: To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) inhibitor C25-140 on acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by acute diquat (DQ) poisoning in mice.

Methods: A total of 80 SPF grade healthy male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the normal control group, DQ model group, C25-140 intervention group, and C25-140 control group, with 20 mice in each group. The DQ poisoning mouse model was established by using one-time intraperitoneal injection of 1 mL of 40 mg/kg DQ solution.
