Background/aims: Recent studies have indicated that exosomes secreted from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have important effects in the treatment of ischemic injury. However, the treatment mechanism is unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether ADSC-derived exosomes enriched with microRNA (miR)-30d-5p have a protective effect on acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Article Synopsis
  • CircRNAs, specifically circ_008018, are found to be highly expressed in the brain during cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, suggesting a potential role in regulating damage.
  • Knocking down circ_008018 in mice reduced brain damage and neurological deficits by promoting the overexpression of microRNA miR-99a.
  • The study indicates that inhibiting circ_008018 could help protect the brain from damage caused by ischemia-reperfusion injury, revealing new mechanisms behind apoptosis in this context.

miR-152 and lncRNA H19 have been frequently implicated in various cellular processes including cell proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis, and apoptosis. However, the interaction between miR-152 and H19 in glioma has never been reported. RT-qPCR was used to examine the expression of miR-152 and H19 in human glioma cell lines and normal human astrocytes (NHAs).

Alcohol consumption likely induces gastric carcinogenesis through deregulation of RNA polymerase (Pol) III genes and oxidative damage. Transcription factor IIB-related factor 1 (BRF1) overexpression alleviates RNA Pol III transcription inhibition through breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1). Myeloperoxidase (MPO) involvement in cancer is induced by alcohol-mediated oxidative damage.

The therapeutic effects of atorvastatin on early brain injury (EBI), cerebral edema and its association with aquaporin 4 (AQP4) were studied in rabbits after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) using western blot analysis and the dry-wet method. Seventy-two healthy male New Zealand rabbits weighing between 2.5 and 3.

Effect of mild hypothermia on the increase of CD11b+ Gr-1+ myeloid-derived suppressor cells induced by lipopolysaccharide in a mouse model of sepsis.

Department of Emergency, Clinical College of Pediatrics, Anhui Medical University, Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital, Hefei, China. Electronic address:

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the influence of mild hypothermia on the number of CD11b+ Gr-1+ myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection in mice with sepsis.

Methods: BALB/c mice were administered LPS to establish a mouse model of sepsis. Then, these mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: the mild hypothermia plus LPS group, the normothermia plus LPS group, and the LPS group.
