Metformin Is Associated with the Inhibition of Renal Artery AT1R/ET-1/iNOS Axis in a Rat Model of Diabetic Nephropathy with Suppression of Inflammation and Oxidative Stress and Kidney Injury

Biomedicines, 2022
Diabetes is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease, also called kidney failure. The link between the renal artery receptor angiotensin II type I (AT1R) and endothelin-1 (ET-1), involved in vasoconstriction, oxidative stress, inflammation and ...

Circular RNA PTPN4 Contributes to Blood‐Brain Barrier Disruption during Early Epileptogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Epileptic condition induces CircPTPN4 upregulation, which promotes ECE‐1 expression through competitive sequestration of miR‐145a‐5p. The elevated ECE‐1 catalyzes the ET‐1 production, leading to p38/MAPK pathway activation and subsequent downregulation of tight junction protein expression. This cascade results in increased BBB permeability and enhanced

Targeting Adipose Tissue Function Protects Against Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study explores the role adipose tissue (AT) phenotypes have in determining cardiovascular outcomes in an obesity‐related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) model. Pharmacological induction of thermogenesis promoted resilience to HFpEF‐induced remodeling of AT and conferred cardioprotection. Surgical and genetic models confirmed

Expression profile of microRNAs in porcine alveolar macrophages after Toxoplasma gondii infection

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Toxoplasma gondii is an apicomplexan protozoan parasite that can cause serious clinical illnesses in both humans and animals. microRNAs (miRNAs) are non-protein-coding RNAs that can regulate the expression of target genes.

Tailoring Vascular‐Immune Homeostasis via Manganese‐DNA Complex‐Armed Immunogenic Extracellular Vesicles for Pancreatic Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that Mn2⁺–tumor DNA complexes encapsulated in dendritic cell (DC)– derived immunogenic extracellular vesicles (EVDC@Mn‐DNA) act as a DC‐specific cGAS– STING activator. EVDC@Mn‐DNA treatment enhances intratumoral DC activation, improves tumor vascular function, promotes CD8⁺ T cell activity, and suppresses pancreatic tumor growth,

Dysfunctional TRIM31 of POMC Neurons Provokes Hypothalamic Injury and Peripheral Metabolic Disorder under Long‐Term Fine Particulate Matter Exposure

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Particulate matter ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5) elevates risks of neurological and chronic metabolic diseases, but the underlying mechanisms linking PM2.5‐induced central nervous system (CNS) injury to metabolic dysfunction remain unclear. Hypothalamic pro‐opiomelanocortin‐expressing (POMC+) neurons regulate systemic metabolic homeostasis, and tripartite motif ...

Single‐Cell Metabolic Imaging Reveals Glycogen‐Driven Adaptations in Endothelial Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell metabolic imaging of diabetes‐associated endothelial dysfunction by SRS microscopy reveals dynamic glycogen storage and its role in modulating metabolic adaptations under glucose starvation. Abstract Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is a defining feature of diabetes mellitus (DM) and a key contributor to many metabolic and cardiovascular ...

Ontogenesis of NADPH-diaphorase positive neurons in guinea pig neocortex

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2015
In mammalian cerebrum there exist two distinct types of interneurons expressing nitric oxide synthase (NOS). Type I neurons are large in size and exhibit heavy nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate diaphorase (NADPH-d) histochemical reaction, while
