Effects of mir-128a on the proliferation and migration of human glioma U251 cells were explored. The constructed mir-128a-shRNA lentivirus vector (infection group) and scramble shRNA (interference group) were transfected into glioma U251 cells, and uninfected U251 cells as control group. The expression level of mir-128a, the ability of proliferation, invasion, apoptosis and migration of cells in each group were detected by RT-qPCR, MTT assay, Transwell migration , cell wound scratch assay and TUNEL cell apoptosis assay. The expression level of mir-128a in U251 cells of infection group was significantly higher than that in U251 cells of interference group (P<0.05). Τhe expression level of mir-128a in U251 cells of control group was significantly lower than that in U251 cells of infection group (P<0.05). The OD values of infection and control group were lower than that of interference group at 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h, and the OD values of infection were lower than that of control group at 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h (P<0.05). Compared with infection and control group, the number of membrane-penetrating cells in U251 cells of interference group increased significantly (P<0.05). The apoptosis rate of U251 cells of infection and control group was significantly higher than that of interference group, and the apoptosis rate of infection was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05). The migration distance of U251 cells of infection and interference group was significantly larger than that of control group (P<0.05). Τhe migration distance of U251 cells of interference group was significantly larger than that of infection group (P<0.05). mir-128a may play a role similar to anti-oncogene in glioma, inhibiting the ability of proliferation, invasion and migration of glioma cells, and promoting the apoptosis of glioma cells.

Adiponectin (ADN) regulates DNA synthesis, cell apoptosis and cell cycle to participate in the pathology and progression of glioblastoma. The present study aimed to further explore the effect of ADN on temozolomide (TMZ) resistance in glioblastoma and the underlying mechanism of action. Glioblastoma cell lines (U251 and U87-MG cells) were treated with ADN and TMZ at different concentrations; subsequently, 3.

Best current practice in the analysis of dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE)-MRI is to employ a voxel-by-voxel model selection from a hierarchy of nested models. This nested model selection (NMS) assumes that the observed time-trace of contrast-agent (CA) concentration within a voxel, corresponds to a singular physiologically nested model. However, admixtures of different models may exist within a voxel's CA time-trace.

Raddeanin A (RA) Inhibited EMT and Stemness in Glioblastoma via downregulating Skp2.

Cancer Prevention and Treatment Institute of Chengdu, Department of Neurosurgery, Chengdu Fifth People's Hospital (The Second Clinical Medical College, Affiliated Fifth People's Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine), Chengdu 611137, China.

Glioblastoma (GBM), notorious for its poor prognosis, stands as a formidable challenge within the central nervous system tumor category, primarily due to its intricate pathology that encompasses stemness and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The ubiquity of S phase kinase-associated protein 2 (Skp2) overexpression in GBM, a protein implicated in both EMT and stemness traits, correlates with increased drug resistance, elevated tumor grades, and adverse outcomes. This investigation delves into the impact of Raddeanin A (RA), a triterpenoid compound extracted from Anemone raddeana Regel, on GBM, with a special focus on its influence over Skp2 expression levels.

Background: Cold inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) is an important danger-associated molecular pattern involved in tissue-specific and systemic inflammation related to inflammation and Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the precise roles and mechanism of CIRP in the functional changes in astrocytes during the development of AD are still unknown. This study aimed to assess gene expression alterations in astrocytes after they overexpress CIRP (oe-CIRP) and to explore the relationship between abnormal CIRP expression and AD.
