With the improvement of people's living standards and change of lifestyles, the morbidity of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, CCVD), especially the atherosclerosis (atherosclerosis, AS), presents a rising tendency year by year. The injury and inflammatory reaction of endothelial cells is one of the important factors causing AS. However, its molecular mechanism still needs further studying. This paper will discuss the influence of hemodynamics on the cardiac muscle cells cardiac index and its molecular mechanism. The Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (Human umbilical vein endothelial cells, HUVEC) were cultivated and separated and processed by 100ng Lipopolysaccharide (Lipopolysaccharide, LPS) to simulate the injury and inflammation state of the vascular endothelial cells. The hemodynamic state was simulated by the Parallel-Plate Flow Chamber in laboratory. And the MTT was adopted to detect HUVEC growth and the flow cytometry (flow cytometry, FCT) to detect HUVEC apoptosis. And the cardiac index was tested by RT-PCR and western blot. And the cell apoptosis caused by LPS was tested when the cardiac index was over-expressed and reduced. LPS could inhabit HUVEC growth and lead to its apoptosis. Hemodynamics (16dyn/cm) could reduce HUVEC growth inhibition and apoptosis caused by LPS. And the dose-dependent LPS reduced HUVEC cardiac index, while when it was processed by the hemodynamics (16dyn/cm), the HUVEC cardiac index would increase. And the over-expression of the cardiac index could inhabit the cell apoptosis caused by LPS, and the interference technology was adopted to deal with the cardiac index, which could enhance the cell apoptosis caused by LPS. Hemodynamics could inhabit the HUVEC apoptosis caused by LPS, which might be one of the reasons causing AS, through enhancing the cardiac index.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive cancer with limited treatment options and a poor prognosis. The critical role of epigenetic alterations such as changes in DNA methylation, histones modifications, and chromatin remodeling, in pancreatic tumors progression is becoming increasingly recognized. Moreover, in PDAC these aberrant epigenetic mechanisms can also limit therapy efficacy.

Background: Dysfunction in podocyte mitophagy has been identified as a contributing factor to the onset and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN), and BMAL1 plays an important role in the regulation of mitophagy. Thus, this study intended to examine the impact of BMAL1 on podocyte mitophagy in DN and elucidate its underlying mechanisms.
Materials And Methods: High D-glucose (HG)-treated MPC5 cells was used as a podocyte injury model for investigating the potential roles of BMAL1 in DN.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the most common causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Its progression is influenced by complex interactions involving genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), have been identified as key regulators of gene expression, affecting diverse biological processes, notably programmed cell death (PCD).

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent primary liver malignancy and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Despite advancements in therapeutic strategies, the 5-year survival rate for individuals undergoing curative resection remains between 10% and 15%. Consequently, identifying molecular targets that specifically inhibit the proliferation and metastasis of HCC cells is critical for improving treatment outcomes.
