Our study proposed to investigate the function of potassium voltage-gated channel sub-family Q member 1 opposite strand 1 (KCNQ1OT1) in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and the underlying mechanism. We constructed an oxygen-glucose-deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) model using the primary cortical neurons to mimic the cerebral I/R injury in vitro. Small inference RNA (siRNA) was used to silencing KCNQ1OT1. Dual luciferase assay was conducted to verify the interaction between KCNQ1OT1 and miR-9 and interaction between miR-9 and MMP8. CCK8 assay and flow cytometry analysis were applied for determing the viability and apoptosis of neurons, accordingly. QPCR and Western blot were performed to determine the RNA and protein expression. Our outcomes revealed that the expression of KCNQ1OT1 in cultured neurons was notably enhanced after suffered to OGD/R. Knockdown of KCNQ1OT1 weakened OGD/R-induced injury in neurons. Moreover, depletion of KCNQ1OT1 lead to the up-regulation of miR-9 and down-regulation of MMP8. Dual luciferase target validation assays demonstrated that KCNQ1OT1 directly interact with miR-9 and MMP8 is a direct target of miR-9, suggesting that KCNQ1OT1/miR-9/MMP8 might constitute the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanism. Knockdown of MMP8 or up-regulation of miR-9 also could weaken OGD/R-induced injury. Furthermore, cells co-transfected with si-KCNQ1OT1, miR-9 mimic and si-MMP8 could significantly abolish the injury on neurons caused by OGD/R. Taken together, our data manifested that KCNQ1OT1 possibly acts as a facilitator in cerebral I/R injury through modulating miR-9/MMP8 axis as a ceRNA.

Testicular ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury during testicular torsion is strongly influenced by oxidative stress caused by excessive accumulation of unscavenged reactive oxygen species. This study aimed to investigate the effects of intra-peritoneal administration of Mito-TEMPO (MT) on I/R injury in testicular torsion/detorsion (T/D) in mice. Forty-two male mice were divided into seven groups including 1 control and 6 treatment groups (360° T/D, 720° T/D, 360° T/D + 0.

Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is a serious complication in patients with ischemic stroke. Senkyunolide A (SenA) can alleviate neuronal cell damage induced by cerebral I/R; however, the exact action mechanism remains unclear. An in vitro cellular injury model was established by inducing PC-12 cells with OGD/R.

Background: This article aims to use high-throughput sequencing to identify miRNAs associated with ferroptosis in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, select a target miRNA, and investigate its role in H9C2 cells hypoxia-reoxygenation injury.
Methods: SD rats and H9C2 cells were used as subjects. ELISA kits quantified MDA, SOD, GSH, LDH, and ferritin levels.

Background: Zoledronate prevents fractures in older women when administered every 12 to 18 months, but its effects on bone density and bone turnover persist beyond 5 years. Whether infrequent zoledronate administration would prevent vertebral fractures in early postmenopausal women is unknown.
Methods: We conducted a 10-year, prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving early postmenopausal women (50 to 60 years of age) with bone mineral density T scores lower than 0 and higher than -2.

Podocytes are essential to maintain the normal filtration function of glomerular basement membrane, which could be injured by ischemia-reperfusion. As complicated function of autophagy in terminal differentiated podocytes, autophagy dysfunction might contribute to I/R induced renal dysfunction following glomerular filtration membrane (GFM) injuries. Meanwhile, apelin-13, an endogenous polypeptide, has been proved to be effective in regulating autophagy and apoptosis in podocytes.
