Abstract:
... In myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, the innate immune and subsequent inflammatory responses play a crucial role in the extension of myocardial damage. Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) is a critical receptor for recognizing unmethylated CpG motifs that mitochondria contain in their DNA, and induces inflammatory responses. The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of TLR9 in myocardial ische ...

Abstract:
... Irie and colleagues identified a “toxic conformer”, which possesses a turn structure at positions 22-23, among various conformations of Aβ and have been reporting its potent oligomeric capacity and neurotoxicity. This toxic conformer was detected in the brains of AD patients and AD model mice (Tg2576 line), and passive immunization targeting this conformer ameliorated the cognitive dysfunction in ...

hippocampus; mice; neurons; stress response
Abstract:
... The ventral subiculum (vSub) is the major output structure of the hippocampus and serves as a main limbic region in mediating the brain's response to stress. Previously, we reported that there are three subtypes of vSub neurons based on their firing patterns: regular-spiking (RS), weak-bursting (WB) and strong-bursting (SB) neurons and chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) increased SB neurons espec ...

Abstract:
... Dengue virus (DENV) infection is a public health problem worldwide. To establish infection in host cells, DENV require host cellular mechanism to suppress and evade innate immunity for their replication. In this study, Ccr4-Not complex genes were screened by using RNAi approach in DENV-infected A549 and Huh7 cells. We found that CNOT2 plays a proviral role in DENV infection.

Abstract:
... Carboxysome, encapsulating an enzymatic core within an icosahedral-shaped semipermeable protein shell, could enhance CO2 fixation under low CO2 conditions in the environment. The shell of Halothiobacillus neapolitanus α-carboxysome possesses two 38% sequence-identical pentameric proteins, namely CsoS4A and CsoS4B. However, the functions of two paralogous pentameric proteins in α-carboxysome assemb ...

Dual-specificity phosphatase 26 (DUSP26) is a member of the Dusp protein family, and is suggested to be involved in divers biological and pathological processes, such as cell growth, differentiation, inflammation and apoptosis. However, its role in ...

Abstract:
... The polysaccharide hyaluronan (HA) is abundant in pancreatic cancer (PC) tissue and promotes pancreatic cancer cell (PCC) motility in vitro. However, it is controversial as to whether high-molecular-weight HA (HMW-HA) or low-molecular weight HA(LMW-HA) is present in the pancreatic cancer stroma and whether PCC or pancreatic stellate cell (PSC) in PC tissue produces HA. We thereby aim to characteri ...

Abstract:
... Enhancers can regulate gene transcription from afar. Many enhancers are located in genes. Although the regulatory roles of several individual intragenic enhancers have been elaborated, a genome-wide insight into intragenic enhancers remains to be elucidated. We found that active intragenic enhancers have a preference for being located in expressed genes. Unlike intergenic enhancers, active intrage ...

Abstract:
... There is enough proof to believe that free-radical intermediates of anthracycline based anticancer agents are involved in different stages of drug action. Subtle therapeutic differences observed in the actions of different anthracyclines largely influence the mechanism of action of the drugs that distinguish one member from another. Redox properties control biological responses related either to t ...
