MiR‐146a‐5p Suppresses M1 Polarization of Tumor‐Associated Macrophages via IRAK1/NF‐κB Signaling in Colorectal Polyps

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
MiR‐146a‐5p is downregulated in colorectal polyps, leading to IRAK1 upregulation and NF‐κB activation, which promotes M1 macrophage polarization and inflammation. Overexpression of miR‐146a‐5p suppresses IRAK1/NF‐κB signaling, reduces M1 polarization, and alleviates inflammatory responses.

Nitric oxide regulates skeletal muscle fatigue, fiber type, microtubule organization, and mitochondrial ATP synthesis efficiency through cGMP-dependent mechanisms [PDF]

, 2016
Aim: Skeletal muscle nitric oxide–cyclic guanosine monophosphate (NO-cGMP) pathways are impaired in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy partly because of reduced nNOSμ and soluble guanylate cyclase (GC) activity.

Female‐Specific Risk of TAS2R Variants in Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Hospital‐Based Cohort Study From the Taiwan Precision Medicine Initiative

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) function in the innate immune defense of the sinonasal mucosa; however, the genetic association between the TAS2R gene family and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) remains understudied in Asian populations.

Animal models of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Current animal models of CTEPH. Created using BioRender.com. Abstract Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare, yet life‐threatening disorder characterized by persistent pulmonary vascular obstruction and elevated pulmonary artery pressure, with progressive remodeling and subsequent right heart failure.

A high‐fat diet with vitamin D and propylthiouracil produces a pro‐atherogenic phenotype in rats

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Male Sprague–Dawley rats received a cholesterol‐rich high‐fat diet supplemented with vitamin D and propylthiouracil for 11 weeks. The model induced dyslipidemia (increased total cholesterol/low‐density lipoprotein, decreased triglycerides), inflammation (increased interleukin‐6 and serum amyloid A), hypercalcemia, and reduced circulating endothelial ...

The role of interleukin 12 and nitric oxide in the development of spontaneous autoimmune disease in MRL/MP-lpr/lpr mice [PDF]

, 1996
MRL/MP-lpr/lpr (MRL/lpr) mice develop a spontaneous autoimmune disease. Serum from these mice contained significantly higher concentrations of nitrite/nitrate than serum from age-matched control MRL/MP-+/+ (MRL/+), BALB/c or CBA/6J mice.

Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In the face of a critical shortage of human donor kidneys for end‐stage renal disease patients, porcine kidney xenotransplantation has emerged as a viable solution. This field has navigated major hurdles, including immune rejection, physiological incompatibilities, potential biomechanical differences and the risk of cross‐species infection. To overcome

The HCMV‐encoded miR‐UL36‐3p promotes angiogenesis of endothelial cells by downregulating FOXO3

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This illustration shows the role of hcmv‐miR‐UL36‐3p in endothelial cell angiogenesis. During productive infection, endothelial cells express HCMV‐encoded miRNAs. Viral hcmv‐miR‐UL36‐3p promotes endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and capillary tube formation by directly targeting and downregulating FOXO3. The pro‐angiogenic activity of hcmv‐miR‐
