Validation of gene editing efficiency with CRISPR-Cas9 system directly in rat zygotes using electroporation mediated delivery and embryo culture

MethodsX, 2021
Successful use of the CRISPR-Cas9 system for gene manipulation relies on identifying effective and efficient guide RNA sequences (gRNAs). When the goal is to create transgenic animal/rodent models by knocking-in desired sequences using homology-directed ...

Isoniazid and Pulmonary Fibrosis

Chinese Medical Journal, 2015
To the Editor: The anti-tuberculosis (TB) therapy can cause various drug adverse effects including hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity and skin rash.[1,2] There are some case reports about interstitial lung disease (ILD) such as pneumonitis caused by isoniazid (INH), rifampin (RFP), ethambutol (EMB).[3,4] The causative drug was discontinued permanently or ...

Cytokine Engineering Approaches for Regenerative Medicine

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Engineered cytokines represent a powerful strategy to promote tissue repair and regeneration by precisely modulating immune responses. This review highlights recent advances in cytokine engineering, including strategies to enhance half‐life, improve tissue and cell targeting, and control receptor signaling.

Integrative analysis of gene expression and chromatin dynamics multi-omics data in mouse models of bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis

Epigenetics & Chromatin
Background Pulmonary fibrosis is a relentless and ultimately fatal lung disorder. Despite a wealth of research, the intricate molecular pathways that contribute to the onset of PF, especially the aspects related to epigenetic modifications and chromatin ...

Genetic partitioning of interleukin-6 signalling in mice dissociates Stat3 from Smad3-mediated lung fibrosis [PDF]

, 2012
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal disease that is unresponsive to current therapies and characterized by excessive collagen deposition and subsequent fibrosis.

Cathepsin K Aggravates Pulmonary Fibrosis Through Promoting Fibroblast Glutamine Metabolism and Collagen Synthesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CTSK plays a critical role in pulmonary fibrosis. Excessive CTSK accumulation interacts with SNX9 to enhance TGF‐β1‐induced SMAD3 activation and GLS1 expression in fibroblasts, driving glutamine metabolism for collagen biosynthesis and exacerbating pulmonary fibrosis.

Assessing the impact of triiodothyronine treatment on the lung microbiome of mice with pulmonary fibrosis

BMC Pulmonary Medicine
Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), an interstitial lung disease, is characterized by the exacerbation of progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PF). IPF primarily affects older individuals and can lead to respiratory failure.

Chronic Psychological Stress Induces Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy Through Corticosterone‐Glucocorticoid Receptor‐LAMA5 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In vivo experiments suggest that cardiomyocyte hypertrophy is an early manifestation of cardiac pathological changes induced by chronic psychological stress. In vivo and in vitro experiments suggest that the corticosterone‐glucocorticoid receptor‐LAMA5 axis mediates cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by chronic psychological stress. The clinical results

Homeostasis of Gut Microbiota Protects against Susceptibility to Fungal Pneumonia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fungal pneumonia induces inflammation, shown by heightened IL‐6, IL‐1β, TNF‐α levels and a growth in Staphylococcus in the alveolar flora. The gut microbiota, acting through the gut‐lung axis via blood, impacts fungal pneumonia susceptibility by altering lung metabolism and inflammatory responses.
