Objective: To investigate the relationship between the expression of secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5) mRNA and the time interval after skeletal muscle injury in rats by real-time PCR.

Methods: A total of ninety SD rats were randomly divided into the contusion groups at different times including 4h, 8h, 12h, 16h, 20h, 24h, 28h, 32h, 36h, 40h, 44h, 48h after contusion, incision groups at different times including 4h and 8h after incision and the control group. The samples were taken from the contused zone at different time points. The total RNA was isolated from the samples and reversely transcribed to analyze the expression levels of SFRP5 mRNA.

Results: Compared to the control group, the expression of SFRP5 mRNA in contusion groups were down-regulated within 48 h after contusion and reached the lowest level at 20 h, and the expression of SFRP5 mRNA gradually increased from 20 h to 48 h after contusion. The expression of SFRP5 mRNA in the incised groups were significantly lower than that of the contusion groups at 4 h after injury. At the time of 8 h, the expression levels between the contusion and incision groups showed no statistically significant difference.

Conclusion: It is suggested that SFRP5 mRNA analysis may show regular expression and can be a marker for estimation of skeletal muscle injury age.

This study aimed to investigate the expression, prognostic significance, methylation, and immune invasion levels of secreted frizzled-related proteins (SFRP1-5) in colorectal cancer (CRC). Additionally, the relationship between SFRP1/2 methylation and immune infiltration in CRC was explored. The expression of SFRP1-5 was analyzed using several databases, including GEO, TCGA, TIMER, STRING, and GEPIA.

Objectives: Susceptibility to obesity in humans is driven by the intricate interplay of genetic, environmental and behavioural factors. Moreover, the mechanisms linking maternal obesity to infertility remain largely understudied. In this study, we investigated how variable susceptibility to obesity in mice affects ovarian steroidogenesis, with a particular focus on the leptin-mediated dysregulation of Nodal signalling pathway in theca cells (TC).

Secreted Frizzled-Related Protein 5 Mediates Wnt5a Expression in Microcystin-Leucine-Arginine-Induced Liver Lipid Metabolism Disorder in Mice.

Department of Occupational Health and Environmental Health, School of Public Health, Anhui Medical University, Hefei 230032, Anhui, China;School of Medical Technology, Anhui Medical College, Hefei 230601, Anhui, China.

Objective: Microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR) exposure induces lipid metabolism disorders in the liver. Secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5) is a natural antagonist of winglesstype MMTV integration site family, member 5A (Wnt5a) and an anti-inflammatory adipocytokine. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether MC-LR can induce lipid metabolism disorders in hepatocytes and whether SFRP5, which has anti-inflammatory effects, can alleviate the effects of hepatic lipid metabolism by inhibiting the Wnt5a/Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway.

The objective of this study was to examine the expression patterns of secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5) in the ovaries of Hu sheep and to explore the key downstream factors of SFRP5 in sheep granulosa cells (GCs) using RNA-seq. In the present study, SFRP5 was widely expressed in the ovary and localized to GCs and oocytes during various stages of follicular development. In addition, the expression of SFRP5 increased with follicular diameter.

Objective: To unmask the underlying mechanisms of Yisui granule (, YSG) for the treatment of Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).

Methods: Our study used an SKM-1 mouse xenograft model of MDS to explore the anti-tumor potential of YSG and its safety, assess its effect on overall survival (OS), and evaluate whether its mechanism is associated with the demethylation of the secreted frizzled related protein 5 (sFRP5) gene and suppressing Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Bisulfite amplicon sequencing was applied to detect the level of methylation of the sFRP5 gene; western blotting, immunofluorescence staining, and real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction were performed to detect DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1), sFRP5, and other Wnt/β-catenin pathway-related mRNA and protein expression.
