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.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how sitagliptin affects lipid control in diabetic patients, particularly regarding cholesterol levels.
  • A meta-analysis of 14 randomized clinical trials involving 2,654 patients shows that sitagliptin treatment lowers total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) significantly.
  • However, sitagliptin does not appear to have a notable impact on triglycerides or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).
