Molecular mechanism of ischemic postconditioning in promoting diabetic ischemic brain injury repair via the microRNA‐34a–BDNF–SIX3 signaling axis

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Diabetes combined with ischemic stroke (DMIS) exacerbates brain infarct size and neuronal damage compared to nondiabetic ischemic stroke (IS). This study reveals that microRNA‐34a (miR‐34a) plays a key role in DMIS pathogenesis: miR‐34a directly targets and suppresses brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and Sine oculis homeobox 3 (SIX3), promoting

Emergence of highly profibrotic and proinflammatory Lrat+Fbln2+ HSC subpopulation in alcoholic hepatitis

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Lrat+ quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSC) give rise to Lrat+Fbln2+ activated HSC (aHSC) in alcohol‐associated hepatitis and this subpopulation is highly profibrotic, inflammatory, and immunoregulatory based on their single cell transcriptomic profile. Abstract Background and Aims Relative roles of HSCs and portal fibroblasts in alcoholic hepatitis (

IRF‐1 modulates hepatic ferroptosis and aggravates liver ischemia/reperfusion injury via DYRK1α

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
IRF‐1 modulates hepatic ferroptosis and aggravates liver ischemia/reperfusion injury via DYRK1α. Abstract Background The purpose is to define the contribution of the interferon regulatory factor‐1–dual‐specificity tyrosine phosphorylation‐regulated kinase 1α (IRF‐1–DYRK1α) axis to hepatocellular ferroptosis during liver ischemia/reperfusion injury ...

Cell therapy comparison of dental pulp stem cells, hepatocytes, and their exosomes for liver fibrosis treatment in rats

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
DPSCs, hepatocytes, and exosomes were tested for liver fibrosis therapy. Exosome‐based treatment exhibited superior antioxidative and regenerative effects. Liver enzymes, oxidative stress, and profibrotic markers were significantly reduced. α‐SMA, desmin, and related gene expression were downregulated.

Chrysin alleviates pressure overload–induced myocardial remodeling through regulating the PI3K/AKT/NRF2 pathway–mediated oxidative stress response

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In this study, we primarily simulated pathological myocardial remodeling induced by transverse aortic constriction surgery and found significant cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis, characterized by deteriorated cardiac function. Oxidative stress response is considered as a pivotal pathological process, which contributes to inflammation and apoptosis of ...

JNK kinase regulates phosphorylation of HCoV-229E nucleocapsid protein

npj Viruses
Identifying common host factors essential for the replication cycles of human coronaviruses (HCoV) could help uncover potential therapeutic targets. Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) regulate critical cellular signaling pathways.

Activation of the cellular mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways ERK, P38 and JNK during Toxoplasma gondii invasion

Parasite, 2003
Host cell invasion is essential for the pathogenicity of the obligate intracellular protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. In the present study, we evaluated the ability of T.

Nuclear factor of activated T cells as a driver of tumor progression and a target for precision therapy

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Overview illustration of dysregulated NFAT activation coordinating upstream signaling, post‐translational regulation and cancer promoting pathways to induce abnormal gene expression that drives tumor development, progression and immune escape. Abstract The Nuclear Factor of Activated T Cells (NFAT) family comprises closely related transcription factors.
