Cathepsin K Deficiency Reduces Elastase Perfusion-Induced Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms in Mice [PDF]
Objective: Cathepsin K (CatK) is one of the most potent mammalian elastases. We have previously shown increased expression of CatK in human abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) lesions.

The Akt/NF‐κB pathway was significantly activated in podoplanin (PDPN)(+) cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs). P65 directly bind to the chemokine (CC‐motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) promoter, thereby increasing the CCL2 transcription and secretion in CAFs; CCL2, which was transcriptional activated by P65 in PDPN(+) CAFs, sustains tumor angiogenesis by ...

Molecular mechanisms of IL-18BP regulation in DLD-1 cells: pivotal direct action of the STAT1/GAS axis on the promoter level [PDF]
Interleukin (IL)-18, formerly known as interferon (IFN)-γ-inducing factor, is a crucial mediator of host defence and inflammation. Control of IL-18 bioactivity by its endogenous antagonist IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP) is a major objective of ...

Unveiling VCAM‐1’s Multifaceted Role in Secondary Diabetic Complications
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by sustained hyperglycemia, tightly interlinked with a range of severe secondary complications. Diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, and cardiomyopathy substantially contribute to the overall morbidity and mortality associated with diabetes.

PTPIP51—A New RelA-tionship with the NFκB Signaling Pathway
The present study shows a new connection of protein tyrosine phosphatase interacting protein 51 (PTPIP51) to the nuclear factor κB (NFκB) signalling pathway. PTPIP51 mRNA and protein expression is regulated by RelA. If bound to the PTPIP51 promoter, RelA

7-Ketocholesterol Induces Cell Apoptosis by Activation of Nuclear Factor kappa B in Mouse Macrophages [PDF]
We investigated the molecular mechanisms responsible for the induction of apoptosis in mouse monocytic macrophage cell line J774A.1 stimulated by 7-ketocholesterol (7-KC). Cell apoptosis was detected by Annexin V-propidium iodide (PI) staining.

Ex vivo organ perfusion (EVOP) is used for whole organ preservation, and the main focus is to improve the outcome of donor organs for transplantation. Recently, EVOP has found application in disease modeling, drug development, and tissue regeneration. We discuss progress in EVOP research involving small animal organs using benchtop and incubator‐based ...

Analytical methods for mercury speciation in several matrixes: a review [PDF]
Mercury is one of the hazardous contaminants that may be present in the environment. Moreover, its toxicological effects are strongly dependent on the chemical form of the element, being the organic species the most toxic.

Cerebral vascular malformations: pathogenesis and therapy
CVMs management based on imaging genomics and liquid biopsy. In the future, somatic or de novo germline mutation information could be used to direct neurosurgical and medical management of CVMs. Somatic or germline variants can be acquired from imaging genomics or liquid biopsies preoperatively.
