Normal canine mammary gland tissue was studied immunohistochemically with monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) directed against various human keratin types, vimentin, desmin, and alpha-smooth muscle actin. Both ductal and alveolar luminal cells were immunoreactive with MoAbs recognizing respectively human keratins no. 7, 8, 18 and 19. In addition, some ductal luminal cells were labelled with a keratin 4 and a keratin 10 MoAb. Basal/myoepithelial cells were immunoreactive only with MoAbs directed against keratin 14, keratins 14 and 17, and alpha-smooth muscle actin. The vimentin MoAb merely labelled solitary loose intraluminal cells representing macro-phages or sloughed epithelial cells. These findings correspond largely to observations made in human breast tissue.

Dysregulated circular RNAs (circRNAs) has been revealed to be involved in pulmonary fibrosis progression. Herein, this study focused on exploring the function and mechanism of circRNA Zinc Finger MYM-Type Containing 2 (circZMYM2) on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) using transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1-stimulated fibroblasts. Human fibroblast cell lines IMR-90 and HFL1 were stimulated with TGF-β1 to mimic fibrosis condition in vitro.

Aims: Cardiac fibrosis causes most pathological alterations of cardiomyopathy in diabetes and heart failure patients. The activation and transformation of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) are the main pathological mechanisms of cardiac fibrosis. It has been established that Sirtuin1 (Sirt1) plays a protective role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disorders.

Purpose: Our aim was to examine the expression of PAX6 and keratocyte-specific markers in human limbal stromal cells (LSCs) in congenital aniridia (AN) and in healthy corneas, .
Methods: Primary human LSCs were extracted from individuals with aniridia (AN-LSCs) ( = 8) and from healthy corneas (LSCs) ( = 8). The cells were cultured in either normal-glucose serum-containing cell culture medium (NGSC-medium) or low-glucose serum-free cell culture medium (LGSF-medium).

Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells undergoing epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) are a key factor in promoting the progression of subretinal fibrosis. The klotho protein and gene exert anti‑fibrotic effects in multiple fibrotic diseases. However, the mechanisms involved in the role of klotho are unclear in subretinal fibrosis.
