Probiotics Upregulate Trefoil Factors and Downregulate Pepsinogen in the Mouse Stomach [PDF]
Probiotics are used in the management of some gastrointestinal diseases. However, little is known about their effects on normal gastric epithelial biology. The aim of this study was to explore how the probiotic mixture VSL#3 affects gastric cell lineages in mice with a special focus on protective and aggressive factors.

Upregulated sulfatase and downregulated MMP-3 in thoracic aortic aneurysm
Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) formation is accompanied by degradation of extracellular matrix components (EMC). Numerous matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in the process, but the involvement of MMP-3 remains unclear. Additionally, the changes in proteoglycan (PG) structure can alter the signal transduction pathways in TAA, though ...

Downregulation of VPS13C promotes cisplatin resistance in cervical cancer by upregulating GSTP1
Cisplatin resistance remains a major obstacle limiting the effectiveness of chemotherapy in cervical cancer. However, the underlying mechanism of cisplatin resistance is still unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that vacuolar protein sorting 13 homolog C (VPS13C) deficiency promotes cisplatin resistance in cervical cancer.

Upregulation of ADAMTS‑7 and downregulation of COMP are associated with spontaneous abortion
A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 7 (ADAMTS‑7) has been revealed to serve an important role in inflammation‑associated diseases. However, the role of ADAMTS‑7 in spontaneous abortion (SA) remains unclear. In the present study, human and mouse decidual tissues were used to detect the expression of ADAMTS‑7 and cartilage ...
