This study aimed to investigate the functions of lncRNA H19 on glomerular endothelial structural damage of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Rats were fed a high sugar and fat high feed die, and intraperitoneally administrated with streptozotocin (30 mg/kg) to induce DN model. Meanwile, rat glomerular endothelial cells (rGEnCs) were treated with high a level of glucose （HG, 30 mM glucose）to induce structural damage. Our results showed that H19 level was drastically increased in diabetic glomeruli and high-glucose (HG)-stimulated rat glomerular endothelial cells (rGEnCs). Deficiency of H19 ameliorated microalbumin, creatinine, BUN, and histopathological alterations in diabetic rats. In addition, H19 deficiency significantly attenuated the damage of endothelial structure by upregulating the expression of junction proteins ZO-1 and Occludin, glycolcalyx protein Syndecan-1, and endothelial activation marker sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1 in diabetic rats. The results also showed that H19-siRNA alleviated glycocalyx shedding, tight junctions damage, and endothelial activation in HG-stimulated rGEnCs. Moreover, H19 deficiency significantly enhanced the expression of p-Akt and p-eNOS and NO concentration and . Pre-treatment with Akt inhibitor LY294002 abrogated these favourable effects mediated by H19 deficiency. These results indicate that H19 deficiency could mitigate the structural damage of glomerular endothelium in DN via activating Akt/eNOS pathway.

Background: Hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH) is a challenging lung arterial disorder with remarkably high incidence and mortality rates, and the efficiency of current HPH treatment strategies is unsatisfactory. Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) in the pulmonary artery plays a crucial role in HPH. Previous studies have shown that lncRNA-H19 (H19) is involved in many cardiovascular diseases by regulating cell proliferation and differentiation but the role of H19 in EndMT in HPH has not been defined.

Binary metal hydrides can act as low-temperature reducing agents for complex oxides in the solid state, facilitating the synthesis of anion-deficient oxide or oxyhydride phases. The reaction of LaSrCoRuO, with CaH in a sealed tube yields the face-centered cubic phase LaSrCoRuOH. The reaction with LiH under similar conditions converts LaSrCoRuO to a mixture of tetragonal LaSrCoRuOH and cubic LaSrCoRuOH.

Hypoxic microenvironment, a hallmark of solid tumors, contributes to chemoresistance, and long noncoding (lnc) RNAs are involved in hypoxia-induced drug resistance. However, the role of lncRNAs in hypoxic tumor chemotherapy resistance remains unclear. Here, we aimed to elucidate the effects of lncRNAs in hypoxia-mediated resistance in colorectal cancer (CRC), as well as the underlying mechanisms.

Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a common genetic congenital disease characterized by somatic overgrowth and its broad clinical spectrum includes pre- and post-natal macrosomia, macroglossia, visceromegaly, increased risk of neonatal hypoglycemia, and development of embryonic tumors. BWS occurs due to genetic/epigenetic changes involving growth-regulating genes, located on region 11p15, with an important genotype-phenotype correlation. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) comprises a spectrum of autosomal recessive diseases presenting a variety of clinical manifestations due to a deficiency in one of the enzymes involved in cortisol secretion.

Liver fibrosis is a dynamic wound-healing response characterized by the agglutination of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Si-Wu-Tang (SWT), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, is known for treating gynecological diseases and liver fibrosis. Our previous studies demonstrated that long non-coding RNA H19 (H19) was markedly upregulated in fibrotic livers while its deficiency markedly reversed fibrogenesis.
