Akt Blockade Downregulates Collagen and Upregulates MMP1 in Human Dermal Fibroblasts [PDF]
Acutely transforming retrovirus AKT8 in rodent T-cell lymphoma (Akt) is a serine/threonine kinase that plays important roles in survival, cell-cycle progression, and cell proliferation, and has recently been implicated in collagen regulation. The aim of this study was to determine the role of Akt in collagen deposition by normal dermal fibroblasts, and

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.

C2238/αANP modulates apolipoprotein E through Egr-1/miR199a in vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro [PDF]
Subjects carrying the T2238C ANP gene variant have a higher risk to suffer a stroke or myocardial infarction. The mechanisms through which T2238C/αANP exerts detrimental vascular effects need to be fully clarified.

Diabetes mellitus is the most common chronic metabolic disorder worldwide. The present study was designed to investigate the potential role of cinnamon bark extract oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) in controlling streptozotocin (STZ)-induced hyperglycemia and to clarify the underlying molecular mechanisms underlying its effects. For this purpose, 60

Chlorogenic Acid Ameliorates Liver Function in Association with Bax Downregulation, P53 Downregulation and Bcl-2 Upregulation in Diabetic Wistar Rat [PDF]
Hyperglycemia in Diabetes mellitus (DM) induces oxidative stress and mitochondrial disruptions in the liver, thereby triggering apoptosis through Bcl-2 family signaling. Excessive apoptosis leads to liver dysfunction.

LncRNAMORT is upregulated in myocardial infarction and promotes the apoptosis of cardiomyocyte by downregulating miR-93 [PDF]
Abstract Background Myocardial infarction (MI) affects the expression of a large number of lncRNAs, while the functions of those dysregulated lncRNAs are mostly unclear. Materials and methods Expression of MORT and miR-93 in hearth tissues and plasma of both MI mice and Sham mice and both MI patients and healthy controls was detected by RT-qPCR ...
