The role of the multifaceted long non-coding RNAs: A nuclear-cytosolic interplay to regulate hyaluronan metabolism

Matrix Biology Plus, 2021
In the extracellular matrix (ECM), the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) hyaluronan (HA) has different physiological roles favouring hydration, elasticity and cell survival.

Attenuated Replication-Competent Herpes Simplex Virus Expressing an ECM-Modifying Transgene Hyaluronan Synthase 2 of Naked Mole Rat in Oncolytic Gene Therapy

Microorganisms, 2023
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) has proven successful in treating human cancer. Since the approval of talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) in 2015, HSV has been thoroughly researched to discover novel mechanisms to combat cancer and treat other diseases.

Oocyte–cumulus cell interaction: a key factor in early embryo development

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The evaluation of oocyte competence is a fundamental step in achieving successful outcomes following assisted reproduction techniques (ART). At present, however, conventional oocyte maturation assessment is carried out by morphological observation, which is a subjective method that does not consider molecular features.

Value of long non-coding RNA HAS2-AS1 as a diagnostic and prognostic marker of glioma

Neurología (English Edition)
Background: Glioma presents high incidence and poor prognosis, and therefore more effective treatments are needed. Studies have confirmed that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) basically regulate various human diseases including glioma.

Artificial Chlorella Biohybrids for Alleviation of Cartilage Degeneration in Osteoarthritis

Exploration, EarlyView.
Artificial Chlorella biohybrids (Ch@P) alleviate cartilage degeneration and protect against OA progression by activating mitophagy and reprogramming glucose metabolism in chondrocytes, as well as inducing articular thermal stimulation under near infrared irradiation.

Effects of Ferrostatin‐1 on Vocal Folds in Aging Rats

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Age‐related vocal fold degeneration is associated with oxidative stress, and ferroptosis may contribute to structural changes in aging vocal folds. In this aged rat model, intracordal injection of the antioxidant ferrostatin‐1 attenuated ferroptosis‐related changes and was associated with modulation of collagen accumulation, hyaluronic acid ...

Japanese Women's Attitudes Toward Learning Languages Other Than English in the Era of Global English

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study on female Japanese learners of the Korean language is situated in the centuries‐long anti‐Korean sentiments in Japan, the global popularity of the Korean Wave, particularly among women, and the essentialized image of socially marginalized young Japanese women who study English with romantic desires for Western men.

Efficient TGFβ-induced epithelial–mesenchymal transition depends on hyaluronan synthase HAS2 [PDF]

Oncogene, 2012
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a developmental program, which can be adopted by cancer cells to increase their migration and ability to form metastases. Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) is a well-studied inducer of EMT. We demonstrate that TGFβ potently stimulates hyaluronan synthesis via upregulation of hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS2) in ...

Teacher Well‐Being Across Career Stages: An Ecological Study of Early‐ and Mid‐Career English Teachers in Japanese Secondary Schools

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Teacher well‐being has garnered increasing attention in language education, as it plays a vital role in shaping both their professional lives and student learning. Although its importance is recognised, further research is still needed to gain a more comprehensive understanding of language teachers' well‐being.

Spatially restricted hyaluronan production by Has2 drives epithelial tubulogenesis in vitro

American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology, 2014
Generation of branched tubes from an epithelial bud is a fundamental process in development. We hypothesized that induction of hyaluronan synthase (Has) and production of hyaluronan (HA) drives tubulogenesis in response to morphogenetic cytokines. Treatment of J3B1A mammary cells with transforming growth factor-β1 or renal MDCK and mCCD-N21 cells with
