Objectives: To investigate the down-regulation mechanism of (bcl-2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) expression in renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Methods: RCC cell lines 786-O, ACHN and A498 were treated with different concentrations of histone deacetylase inhibitor TSA. Thereafter, the proliferation of RCC cells was determined with CCK-8 assay, cell apoptosis was observed by flow cytometry, and the expression levels of BNIP3 were determined by Q-PCR and Western blot, and the acetylation status of histone H3 in the promoter of was detected by ChIP.
Results: After the treatment with TSA, the proliferation of the three RCC cell lines was significantly inhibited (<0.05), the early apoptosis of cells obviously increased, and the expression levels of mRNA (<0.05) and protein were up-regulated. The histone H3 in promoter of both 786-O and ACHN was deacetylated, while the histone H3 in promoter of A498 was acetylated.
Conclusions: Histone deacetylation may be the important mechanism of silencing in RCC.

Background: Resistance to temozolomide (TMZ) remains is an important cause of treatment failure in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). ADAR1, as a member of the ADAR family, plays an important role in cancer progression and chemotherapy resistance. However, the mechanism by which ADAR1 regulates GBM progression and TMZ resistance is still unclear.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterised by significant genetic heterogeneity, which has diagnostic and prognostic implications. Very limited evidence is available regarding DNA methylation heterogeneity. We therefore generate sequence level DNA methylation data on 136 multi-region tumour and normal kidney tissue from 18 ccRCC patients, along with matched whole exome sequencing (85 samples) and gene expression (47 samples) data on a subset of samples.

Epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), located in the collecting duct principal cells of the kidney, is responsible for the reabsorption of sodium and plays a critical role in the regulation of extracellular fluid volume and consequently blood pressure. The G protein-coupled bile acid receptor (TGR5) is a membrane receptor mediating effects of bile acid and is implicated in kidney diseases. The current study aims to investigate whether TGR5 activation in the kidney regulated ENaC expression and potential mechanism.

Cerebral aneurysms (CA) are a serious condition characterized by the bulging of a blood vessel in the brain, which can lead to rupture and life-threatening bleeding. The pathophysiology of CA involves complex processes, particularly inflammation and macrophage infiltration. Phoenixin-14 (PNX-14) is a neuropeptide with diverse biological effects, including roles in reproduction, energy homeostasis, and inflammation.
