Gal-9/Tim-3 signaling pathway activation suppresses the generation of Th17 cells and promotes the induction of Foxp3 regulatory T cells in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury.

CD4 T cells mediate the pathogenesis of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Emerging research suggests that a Th17/regulatory T cell (Treg) imbalance plays a pivotal role in the development of renal IRI. A recently identified negative checkpoint protein, T cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain family 3 (Tim-3), inhibits the immune response by binding to its ligand, galectin-9 (Gal-9).

Analysis of co-expression gene network associated with intracranial aneurysm and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

To screen for common target genes in intracranial aneurysms (IA) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), construct a common transcriptional regulatory network to predict clusters of candidate genes involved in the pathogenesis of T2DM and IA, and identify the common neurovascular markers and pathways in T2DM causing IA. Microarray datasets (GSE55650, GSE25462, GSE26969, GSE75436, and GSE13353) from the GEO database were analyzed in this research. Screening of the IA and the T2DM datasets yielded a total of 126 DEGs, among which 78 were upregulated and 138 were downregulated.

A Prediction Model for Acute Kidney Injury in Adult Patients With Minimal Change Disease.

Background: Early prediction of acute kidney injury (AKI) can allow for timely interventions, but there are still few methods that are easy and convenient to apply in predicting AKI, specially targeted at patients with minimal change disease (MCD). Motivated by this, we aimed to develop a predicting model for AKI in patients with MCD within the KDIGO criteria.

Methods: Data on 401 hospitalized adult patients, whose biopsy was diagnosed as MCD from 12/31/2010 to 15/7/2021, were retrospectively collected.

Long Noncoding RNA LINC00839 Promotes the Malignant Progression of Osteosarcoma by Competitively Binding to MicroRNA-454-3p and Consequently Increasing c-Met Expression.

Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the expression and prognostic relevance of long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 839 (LINC00839) in osteosarcoma (OS) and to explore the detailed roles of LINC00839 in regulating OS cell activities and the mechanisms responsible for its cancer-promoting activity in OS.

Methods: The expression of LINC00839 in OS tissues and cell lines was determined by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. After LINC00839 knockdown, cell counting kit-8 assay, flow cytometric analysis, transwell migration and invasion assay, and in vivo tumor xenograft assay were used to detect its effects on cellular processes in OS.

MicroRNA-338-3p suppresses cell proliferation, migration and invasion in human malignant melanoma by targeting MACC1.

Malignant melanoma (MM) is the most aggressive form of skin cancer originating from melanocytes with increased proliferative and metastatic ability. Previous studies have revealed that microRNA-338-3p (miR-338-3p) functions as a tumor suppressor in several types of cancer, including cervical cancer, renal cell carcinoma and thyroid cancer. However, the function and mechanism underlying the action of miR-383-3p in MM remain unclear.

MiR-26a Rescues Bone Regeneration Deficiency of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived From Osteoporotic Mice.

Osteoporosis, caused by a relative increase of bone resorption over bone formation, is characterized by decreased bone mass and bone strength, resulting in an increased incidence of bone fractures, which often leads to further disability and early mortality in the elderly due to impaired bone healing ability. The majority of therapeutics currently used in clinics for the treatment of osteoporosis are antiresorptive agents that exert their clinical effect by decreasing the rate of bone resorption. However, strategies solely aimed at antiresorption have limited therapeutic efficacy in restoring bone remodeling balance and enhancing osteoporotic fracture healing.

[Effects of all-trans retinoic acid and compound huangdai tablet sequential maintenance treatment on the long-term efficacy of acute promyelocytic leukemia patients].

Objective: To compare the difference in the long-term efficacy between all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) combined Compound Huangdai Tablet and ATRA combined methotrexate (MTX) and 6-mercaptopurine (6MP) as the sequential maintenance treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients.

Methods: Totally 83 APL patients in the molecular remission (PML/RARalpha negative) were randomly assigned to two groups, the treatment group (45 cases) and the control group (38 cases) after they were induced to the complete remission (CR) by ATRA combined chemotherapy, and treated by sequential chemotherapy as the consolidated treatment for 3 therapeutic courses. Those in the treatment group were sequentially treated with ATRA and Compound Huangdai Tablet as maintenance therapy, while those in the control group were treated with ATRA and MTX + 6MP as maintenance therapy.
