RESUMO

The underlying mechanism of colorectal cells developing into cancer cells has been extensively investigated, yet is still not fully delineated, resulting in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) remains regrettably an unmet need. Zinc Finger Protein 746/Parkin-interacting substrate (ZNF746/PARIS) has previously been identified to play a fundamental role on bladder cancer cell proliferation and metastasis that were effectively inhibited by melatonin (Mel). In this study, we utilized ex vivo/in vivo studies to verify whether the ZNF746 signaling was also crucial in CRC growth/invasion/migration. Tissue-bank specimens showed that the protein expression of ZNF746 was significantly increased in CRC than that of healthy colorectal tissues (p < 0.001). Additionally, in vitro study demonstrated that excessive expression of ZNF746 significantly inhibited mitochondrial activity via (1) interfering with the dynamic balance of mitochondrial fusion/fission and (2) inhibiting the protein expression of MFN1/MFN2/PGC1a (all p < 0.001). Furthermore, we identified that inhibition of ZNF746 protein expression significantly reduced the resistance of CRC cell lines to the anticancer drug of 5-FU (p < 0.001), whereas overexpression of ZNF746 significantly augmented resistance of CRC cells to 5-FU (all p < 0.001). Finally, using the cell culture method, we found that combined Mel and 5-FU was superior to merely one on promoting the CRC cell apoptosis (p < 0.001). Our results confirmed that ZNF746 signaling played a cardinal role of CRC cell proliferation/survival and combined Mel and 5-FU treatment attenuated the resistance of CRC cells to the drug mainly through suppressing this signaling.

RESUMO

This study tested the hypothesis that Jagged2/Notches promoted the endothelial-mesenchymal transition (endMT)-mediated pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) (i.e. induction by monocrotaline [MCT]/63 mg/kg/subcutaneous injection) through increasing the expression of GATA-binding factors which were inhibited by propylthiouracil (PTU) (i.e. 0.1% in water for daily drinking since Day 5 after PAH induction) in rodent. As compared with the control (i.e. HUVECs), the protein expressions of GATAs (3/4/6) and endMT markers (Snail/Zeb1/N-cadherin/vimentin/fibronectin/α-SMA/p-Smad2) were significantly reduced, whereas the endothelial-phenotype markers (CD31/E-cadherin) were significantly increased in silenced JAG2 gene or in silenced GATA3 gene of HUVECs (all p < 0.001). As compared with the control, the protein expressions of intercellular signallings (GATAs [3/4/6], Jagged1/2, notch1/2 and Snail/Zeb1/N-cadherin/vimentin/fibronectin/α-SMA/p-Smad2) were significantly upregulated in TGF-ß/monocrotaline-treated HUVECs that were significantly reversed by PTU treatment (all p < 0.001). By Day 42, the results of animal study demonstrated that the right-ventricular systolic-blood-pressure (RVSBP), RV weight (RVW) and lung injury/fibrotic scores were significantly increased in MCT group than sham-control (SC) that were reversed in MCT + PTU groups, whereas arterial oxygen saturation (%) and vasorelaxation/nitric oxide production of PA exhibited an opposite pattern of RVW among the groups (all p < 0.0001). The protein expressions of hypertrophic (ß-MHC)/pressure-overload (BNP)/oxidative-stress (NOX-1/NOX-2) biomarkers in RV and the protein expressions of intercellular signalling (GATAs3/4/6, Jagged1/2, notch1/2) and endMT markers (Snail/Zeb1/N-cadherin/vimentin/fibronectin/TGF-ß/α-SMA/p-Smad2) in lung parenchyma displayed an identical pattern of RVW among the groups (all p < 0.0001). Jagged-Notch-GATAs signalling, endMT markers and RVSBP that were increased in PAH were suppressed by PTU.

RESUMO

This study investigated whether melatonin (Mel) would promote cisplatin to suppress the proliferation and growth of bladder cancer (BC) cells by inhibiting cellular prion protein (PrPC)-mediated cell stress and cell proliferation signaling. An immunohistochemical staining of tissue arrays from BC patients demonstrated that the PrPC expression was significantly upregulated from stage I to III BC (p < 0.0001). The BC cellline of T24 was categorized into G1 (T24), G2 (T24 + Mel/100 µM), G3 (T24+cisplatin/6 µM), G4 (PrPC overexpression in T24 (i.e., PrPC-OE-T24)), G5 (PrPC-OE-T24+Mel), and G6 (PrPC-OE-T24+cisplatin). When compared with a human uroepithelial cell line (SV-HUC-1), the cellular viability/wound healing ability/migration rate were significantly increased in T24 cells (G1) and further significantly increased in PrPC-OE-T24 cells (G4); and they were suppressed in Mel (G2/G5) or cisplatin (G3/G6) treatment (all p < 0.0001). Additionally, the protein expressions of cell proliferation (PI3K/p-Akt/p-m-TOR/MMP-9/PrPC), cell cycle/mitochondrial functional integrity (cyclin-D1/clyclin-E1/ckd2/ckd4/mitochondrial-cytochrome-C/PINK1), and cell stress (RAS/c-RAF/p-MEK1/2, p-ERK1/2) markers showed a similar pattern of cell viability among the groups (all p < 0.001). After the BC cell line of UMUC3 was implanted into nude mouse backs, by day 28 mthe BC weight/volume and the cellular levels of PrPC/MMP-2/MMP-9 were significantly, gradually reduced from groups one to four (all p < 0.0001). The protein expressions of cell proliferation (PI3K/p-Akt/p-m-TOR/MMP-9/PrPC), cell cycle/mitophagy (cyclin-D1/clyclin-E1/ckd2/ckd4/PINK1), and cell stress (RAS/c-RAF/p-MEK1,2/p-ERK1,2) signaling were significantly, progressively reduced from groups one to four, whereas the protein expressions of apoptotic (Mit-Bax/cleaved-caspase-3/cleaved-PARP) and oxidative stress/mitochondrial damaged (NOX-1/NOX-2/cytosolic-cytochrome-C/p-DRP1) markers expressed an opposite pattern of cell proliferation signaling among the groups (all p < 0.0001). Mel-cisplatin suppressed BC cell growth/proliferation via inhibiting the PrPC in upregulating the cell proliferation/cell stress/cell cycle signaling.

RESUMO

Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is one of the low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) technologies that aim to support enormous connections, featuring wide-area coverage, low power consumption, and low costs. NB-IoT could serve a massive number of IoT devices, but with very limited radio resources. Therefore, how to enable a massive number of IoT devices to transmit messages periodically, and with low latency, according to transmission requirements, has become the most crucial issue of NB-IoT. Moreover, IoT devices are designed to minimize power consumption so that the device battery can last for a long time. Similarly, the NB-IoT system must configure different power-saving mechanisms for different types of devices to prolong their battery lives. In this study, we propose a persistent periodic uplink scheduling algorithm (PPUSA) to assist a plethora of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in reporting their sensing data based on their sensing characteristics. PPUSA explicitly considers the power-saving mode and connection suspend/resume procedures to reduce the IoT device's power consumption and processing overhead. PPUSA allocates uplink resource units to IoT devices systematically so that it can support the periodic-uplink transmission of a plethora of IoT devices while maintaining low transmission latency for bursty data. The simulation results show that PPUSA can support up to 600,000 IoT devices when the NB-IoT uplink utilization is 80%. In addition, it takes only one millisecond for the transmission of the bursty messages.

RESUMO

Acute liver ischaemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), commonly encountered during liver resection and transplantation surgery, is strongly associated with unfavourable clinical outcome. However, a prompt and accurate diagnosis and the treatment of this entity remain formidable challenges. This study tested the hypothesis that 31 P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31 P-MRS) findings could provide reliable living images to accurately identify the degree of acute liver IRI and melatonin-pretreated mitochondria was an innovative treatment for protecting the liver from IRI in rat. Adult male SD rats were categorized into group 1 (sham-operated control), group 2 (IRI only) and group 3 (IRI + melatonin [ie mitochondrial donor rat received intraperitoneal administration of melatonin] pretreated mitochondria [10 mg/per rat by portal vein]). By the end of study period at 72 hours, 31 P-MRS showed that, as compared with group 1, the hepatic levels of ATP and NADH were significantly lower in group 2 than in groups 1 and 3, and significantly lower in group 3 than in group 1. The liver protein expressions of mitochondrial-electron-transport-chain complexes and mitochondrial integrity exhibited an identical pattern to 31 P-MRS finding. The protein expressions of oxidative stress, inflammatory, cellular stress signalling and mitochondrial-damaged biomarkers displayed an opposite finding of 31 P-MRS, whereas the protein expressions of antioxidants were significantly progressively increased from groups 1 to 3. Microscopic findings showed that the fibrotic area/liver injury score and inflammatory and DNA-damaged biomarkers exhibited an identical pattern of cellular stress signalling. Melatonin-pretreated mitochondria effectively protected liver against IRI and 31 P-MRS was a reliable tool for measuring the mitochondrial/ATP consumption in living animals.

RESUMO

This study traced intravenously administered induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and assessed the impact of iPSC-MSC on preserving renal function in SD rat after 5/6 nephrectomy. The results of in vitro study showed that FeraTrack™Direct contrast particles (ie intracellular magnetic labelling) in the iPSC-MSC (ie iPS-MSCSPIONs ) were clearly identified by Prussian blue stain. Adult-male SD rats (n = 40) were categorized into group 1 (SC), group 2 [SC + iPS-MSCSPIONs (1.0 × 106 cells)/intravenous administration post-day-14 CKD procedure], group 3 (CKD), group 4 [CKD + iPS-MSCSPIONs (0.5 × 106 cells)] and group 5 [CKD + iPS-MSCSPIONs (1.0 × 106 cells)]. By day-15 after CKD induction, abdominal MRI demonstrated that iPS-MSCSPIONs were only in the CKD parenchyma of groups 4 and 5. By day 60, the creatinine level/ratio of urine protein to urine creatinine/kidney injury score (by haematoxylin and eosin stain)/fibrotic area (Masson's trichrome stain)/IF microscopic finding of kidney injury molecule-1 expression was lowest in groups 1 and 2, highest in group 3, and significantly higher in group 4 than in group 5, whereas IF microscopic findings of podocyte components (ZO-1/synaptopodin) and protein levels of anti-apoptosis ((Bad/Bcl-xL/Bcl-2) exhibited an opposite pattern to creatinine level among the five groups (all P < .0001). The protein expressions of cell-proliferation signals (PI3K/p-Akt/m-TOR, p-ERK1/2, FOXO1/GSK3ß/p90RSK), apoptotic/DNA-damage (Bax/caspases8-10/cytosolic-mitochondria) and inflammatory (TNF-α/TNFR1/TRAF2/NF-κB) biomarkers displayed an identical pattern to creatinine level among the five groups (all P < .0001). The iPS-MSCSPIONs that were identified only in CKD parenchyma effectively protected the kidney against CKD injury.

RESUMO

We evaluated the ability of extracorporeal shock wave (ECSW)-assisted melatonin (Mel) therapy to offer an additional benefit for alleviating the neuropathic pain (NP) in rats. Left sciatic nerve was subjected to chronic constriction injury (CCI) to induce NP. Animals (n = 30) were randomized into group 1 (sham-operated control), group 2 (CCI only), group 3 (CCI + ECSW), group 4 (CCI + Mel) and group 5 (CCI + ECSW + Mel). By days 15, 22 and 29 after CCI, the thermal paw withdrawal latency (TPWL) and mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MPWT) were highest in group 1, lowest in group 2, significantly higher in group 5 than in groups 3 and 4, but they showed no difference between the later two groups (all p < 0.0001). The protein expressions of inflammatory (TNF-α, NF-κB, MMP-9, IL-1ß), oxidative-stress (NOXs-1, -2, -4, oxidized protein), apoptotic (cleaved-caspase3, cleaved-PARP), DNA/mitochondrial-damaged (γ-H2AX/cytosolic-cytochrome C), microglia/astrocyte activation (ox42/GFAP), and MAPKs [phosphorylated (p)-p38, p-JNK, p-ERK] biomarkers in dorsal root ganglia neurons (DRGs) and in spinal dorsal horn were exhibited an opposite pattern of TPWL among the five groups (all p < 0.0001). Additionally, protein expressions of Nav.1.3, Nav.1.8 and Nav.1.9 in sciatic nerve exhibited an identical pattern to inflammation among the five groups (all p < 0.0001). The numbers of cellular expressions of MAPKs (p-ERK1/2+/peripherin + cells, p-ERK1/2+/NF200 + cells and p-JNK+/peripherin + cells, p-JNK+/NF200 + cells) and voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav.1.8+/peripherin + cells, Nav.1.8+/NF200 + cells, Nav.1.9+/peripherin + cells, Nav.1.9+/NF200 + cells) in small and large DRGs displayed an identical pattern to inflammation among the five groups (all p < 0.0001). In conclusion, the synergistic effect of combined ECSW-Mel therapy is superior to either one alone for long-term improvement of mononeuropathic pain-induced by CCI in rats.

RESUMO

There still lacking effective treatment for bladder cancer. This study investigated whether melatonin (Mel) can suppress the growth and invasion of bladder cancer cells. Male C57B/L6 mice were categorized into control group (ie, subcutaneous injection of HT1197 bladder cancer cell line at the back] and treatment group [subcutaneous HT1197 cells + intraperitoneal Mel (100 mg/kg/d) from day 8 to day 21 after tumor cell injection]. In vitro Mel suppressed cell growth of four bladder cancer cell lines (ie, T24, RT4, HT1197, HT1376), cell migration in HT1197/HT1376, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in T24 and colony formation in RT4 cells as well as arrested the cell cycle at G0 phase and inhibited the mitotic phase of T24 cells (all P < 0.0001). Protein expression of ZNF746 in RT4/T24 cells and protein expression phosphorylated (p)-AKT/MMP-2/MMP-9 in HT1197/HT1376 cells were reduced following Mel treatment (all P < 0.001). Transfection of T24 cells with plasmid-based shRNA (ie, ZNF746-silencing) downregulated the protein expression of MMP-9, cell growth, and invasion and attachment to endothelial cells but upregulated the colony formation (all P < 0.001). Mel suppressed oxidative stress and MMP but upregulated mitochondria mass in ZNF746-silenced T24 cells, whereas these parameters exhibited a similar patter to Mel treatment in ZNF746-silenced T24 cells (all P < 0.0001). In vivo study demonstrated that Mel treatment significantly suppressed cellular expressions of MMP-9/MMP-2, protein expressions of ZNF746/p-AKT, and tumor size (all P < 0.001). Mel treatment suppressed the growth, migration, and invasion of bladder carcinoma cells through downregulating ZNF746-regulated MMP-9/MMP-2 signaling.

RESUMO

We tested the hypothesis that daily melatonin treatment protects endothelial lineage and functional integrity against the aging process, oxidative stress/endothelial denudation (ED), and toxic environment and restored blood flow in murine critical limb ischemia (CLI). In vitro study using HUVECs, in vivo models (ie, CLI through left femoral artery ligation and ED through carotid artery wire injury), and model of lipopolysaccharide-induced aortic injury in young (3 months old) and aged (8 months old) mice were used to elucidate effects of melatonin treatment on vascular endothelial integrity. In vitro study showed that menadione-induced oxidative stress (NOX-1/NOX-2), inflammation (TNF-α/NF-kB), apoptosis (cleaved caspase-3/PARP), and mitochondrial damage (cytosolic cytochrome c) in HUVECs were suppressed by melatonin but reversed by SIRT3-siRNA (all P < .001). In vivo, reduced numbers of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) (C-kit/CD31+/Sca-1/KDR+/CXCR4/CD34+), and angiogenesis (Matrigel assay of bone marrow-derived EPC and ex vivo aortic ring cultures) in older (compared with younger) mice were significantly reversed through daily melatonin administration (20 mg/kg/d, ip) (all P < .001). Aortic vasorelaxation and nitric oxide release were impaired in older mice and reversed in age-match mice receiving melatonin (all P < .01). ED-induced intimal/medial hyperplasia, reduced blood flow to ischemic limb, and angiogenesis (reduced CD31+/vWF+ cells/small vessel number) were improved after daily melatonin treatment (all P < .0001). Lipopolysaccharide-induced aortic endothelial cell detachment, which was more severe in aged mice, was also alleviated after daily melatonin treatment (P < .0001). Daily melatonin treatment protected both structural and functional integrity of vascular endothelium against aging-, oxidative stress-, lipopolysaccharide-, and ischemia-induced damage probably through upregulating the SIRT signaling pathway.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This study tested the hypothesis that combined ceftriaxone (Cef) and human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUCDMSCs) was better than either therapy for alleviating acute septic arthritis (ASA). METHODS AND RESULTS: Adult-male C57BL/6 mice were categorized into control group (Clt), group A (ASA only), group B [ASA + Cef (5 mg/kg, IM per day, at days 2 to 16 after ASA induction)], group C [ASA + HUCDMSCs (5 × 105 per mice at days 2, 3, 4 after ASA induction)], and group D (ASA + Cef + HUCDMSCs). Animals were euthanized by day 28. The result demonstrated that the body weight was significantly lower, whereas the ratio of kidney or spleen weight to WB, circulatory WBC count, bacterial colony-formation-unit from circulatory/kidney extraction were significantly higher in group A than in other groups (all P < .001). The proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6/TNF-α) of knee joint fluid were lowest in Clt and significantly and progressively reduced from groups A to D, whereas the circulatory levels of these 2 parameters at the time points of days 3/7/28 exhibited an identical pattern as knee joint fluid among the groups (all P-value < .0001). The scores of vertebral-bone destructions/inflamed synovium were lowest in Clt, highest in group A, significantly higher in group C than in groups B/D, and significantly higher in group C than in group D (all P < .0001). CONCLUSION: Combined antibiotics and Cef and HUCDMSCs was superior to just one therapy for suppressing circulatory and tissue levels of inflammation and knee joint destruction in ASA.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We tested the hypothesis that overexpression of cellular-prion-protein in adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (PrPCOE-ADMSCs) effectively protected the kidney against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in rat. METHODS: Part I of cell culture was categorized into A1(ADMSCs)/A2(ADMSCs+p-Cresol)/A3(PrPCOE in ADMSCs)/A4 (PrPCOE in ADMSCs+p-Cresol). Part II of cell culture was divided into B1(ADMSCs)/B2[ADMSCs+lipopolysaccharide (LPS)]/B3(PrPCOE in ADMSCs)/B4(PrPCOE in ADMSCs+LPS). Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (n = 50) were equally categorized into groups 1 (sham-operated-control)/2 (IR)/3 (IR+ADMSCs/6.0 × 105 equally divided into bilateral-renal arteries and 6.0 × 105 intravenous administration by 1 h after IR)/4 [IR+PrPCOE-ADMSCs (identical dosage administered as group 3)]/5 [IR+silencing PRNP -ADMSCs (identical dosage administered as group 3)], and kidneys were harvested post-day 3 IR injury. RESULTS: Part I results demonstrated that the cell viability at 24/48/72 h, BrdU uptake/number of mitDNA/APT concentration/mitochondrial-cytochrome-C+ cells and the protein expressions of ki67/PrPC at 72 h-cell culturing were significantly higher in PrPCOE-ADMSCs than in ADMSCs (all P < 0.001). The protein expressions of oxidative-stress (NOX-1/NOX2/NOX4/oxidized protein)/mitochondrial-damaged (p22-phox/cytosolic-cytochrome-C)/inflammatory (p-NF-κB/IL-1ß/TNF-α/IL-6)/apoptotic (cleaved caspase-3/cleaved-PARP) biomarkers were lowest in A1/A3 and significantly higher in A2 than in A4 (all P < 0.001). Part II result showed that the protein expressions of inflammatory (p-NF-κB/IL-1ß/TNF-α/IL-6)/apoptotic (cleaved caspase-3/cleaved-PARP) biomarkers exhibited an identical pattern of part I among the groups (all P < 0.001). The protein expressions of inflammatory (p-NF-κB/IL-1ß/TNF-α/MMP-9)/oxidative-stress (NOX-1/NOX-2/oxidized-protein)/mitochondrial-damaged (cytosolic-cytochrome-C/p22-phox)/apoptotic (cleaved caspase-3/cleaved-PARP/mitochondrial-Bx)/autophagic (beclin-1/ratio of LC3B-II/LC3B-I)/fibrotic (Smad3/TGF-ß) biomarkers and kidney-injury-score/creatinine level were lowest in group 1, highest in group 2, significantly higher in group 5 than in groups 3/4 (all P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: PrPCOE in ADMSCs rejuvenated these cells and played a cardinal role on protecting the kidney against IR injury.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We examined the impact of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (ADMSC)-facilitated empagliflozin (EMPA) therapy for alleviating hyperglycemic induced neuropathy [i.e., diabetic neuropathy (DN)]. METHODS: Study constituted N2a cell culture and rats to be classified into groups 1 (sham-operated-control)/2 (DN)/3 (DN + empagliflozin/20 mg/kg/daily orally for 6 weeks since post-day-7 DN induction)/4 (DN + ADMSCs/1.2 × 106 cells by vein transfusion at time intervals of 1/3/5 weeks after DN induction)/5 (DN + empagliflozin + ADMSCs) and sacrificed by day-42 after DN induction. RESULTS: In vitro results showed that, compared to N2a cells, the cellular levels of senescence/DNA-damage and protein expressions of oxidative-stress (OS), apoptotic, autophagic and inflammatory biomarkers were significantly higher in N2a + glucose (25 mM) but were significantly reversed in N2a + glucose + ADMSCs, whereas the cellular levels of mitochondrial cytochrome C and protein levels of anti-oxidants displayed an opposite pattern of OS (all P<0.001). The above-mentioned parameters (i.e., OS/apoptosis/fibrosis/autophagy/DNA-damage) were lowest in N2a cells, highest in N2a + glucose and significantly higher in N2a + glucose + EMPA (50 µM) than in N2a + glucose + EMPA (150 µM) (all P<0.001). By days 7/14/21/28/35/42 after DN induction, the values of thermal paw-withdrawal-latency (TPWL)/mechanical-paw-withdrawal-threshold were highest in group 1 and significantly progressively increased from groups 2/4/3/5 (all P<0.0001). The cellular levels of unmyelinated C- and myelinated A-δ fibers, and protein levels of OS/apoptotic/DNA-damaged/fibrotic/autophagic/inflammatory/pain-facilitated/voltage-gated sodium channel biomarkers in L4-L5 levels of dorsal-root-ganglia exhibited an contradictory manner of TPWL among the groups (all P<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Combination of EMPA and ADMSC therapy was superior to either alone for improving outcomes of DN.

RESUMO

This study tested whether human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUCDMSCs) treatment effectively protected the rat lung against acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) injury, and benefits of early and dose-dependent treatment. Rat pulmonary epithelial cell line L2 (PECL2) were categorized into G1 (PECL2), G2 (PECL2 + healthy rat lung-derived extraction/50 mg/ml co-cultured for 24 h), G3 (PECL2 + ARDS rat lung-derived extraction/50 mg/ml co-cultured for 24 h), and G4 (condition as G3 + HUCDMSCs/1 × 105/co-cultured for 24 h). The result showed that the protein expressions of inflammatory (HMGB-1/TLR-2/TLR-4/MAL/TRAM/MyD88/TRIF/TRAF6/IkB/NF-κB/IL-1ß/TNF-α), oxidative-stress/mitochondrial-damaged (NOX-1/NOX-2/ASK1/p-MKK4/p-MKK7/JNKs/JUN/cytosolic-cytochrome-C/cyclophilin-D/DRP1), and cell-apoptotic/fibrotic (cleaved-caspase 3/cleaved-PARP/TGF-ß/p-Smad3) biomarkers were significantly increased in G3 than in G1/G2 and were significantly reversed in G4 (all P < 0.001), but they were similar between G1/G2. Adult male rats (n = 42) were equally categorized into group 1 (normal control), group 2 (ARDS only), group 3 [ARDS + HUCDMSCs/1.2 × 106 cells intravenous administration at 3 h after 48 h ARDS induction (i.e., early treatment)], group 4 [ARDS + HUCDMSCs/1.2 × 106 cells intravenous administration at 24 h after 48 h ARDS induction (late treatment)], and group 5 [ARDS + HUCDMSCs/1.2 × 106 cells intravenous administration at 3 h/24 h after-48 h ARDS induction (dose-dependent treatment)]. By day 5 after ARDS induction, the SaO2%/immune regulatory T cells were highest in group 1, lowest in group 2, significantly lower in group 4 than in groups 3/5, and significantly lower in group 3 than in group 5, whereas the circulatory/bronchioalveolar lavage fluid inflammatory cells (CD11b-c+/LyG6+/MPO+)/circulatory immune cells (CD3-C4+/CD3-CD8+)/lung-leakage-albumin level/lung injury score/lung protein expressions of inflammatory (HMGB-1/TLR-2/TLR-4/MAL/TRAM/MyD88/TRIF/TRAF6/IκB-ß/p-NF-κB/IL-1ß/TNF-α)/fibrotic (p-SMad3/TGF-ß), apoptosis (mitochondrial-Bax/cleaved-caspase-3)/oxidative-cell-stress (NOX-1/NOX-2/ASK1/p-MKK4/p-MKK7/p-JNKs/p-cJUN)/mitochondrial damaged (cyclophilin-D/DRP1/cytosolic-cytochrome-C) biomarkers displayed an opposite pattern of SaO2% among the groups (all P < 0.0001). Early administration was superior to and two-dose counterpart was even more superior to late HUCDMSCs treatment for protecting the lung against ARDS injury.

RESUMO

Nucleolar size and appearance correlate with ribosome biogenesis and cellular activity. The mechanisms underlying changes in nucleolar appearance and regulation of nucleolar size that occur during differentiation and cell cycle progression are not well understood. Caenorhabditis elegans provides a good model for studying these processes because of its small size and transparent body, well-characterized cell types and lineages, and because its cells display various sizes of nucleoli. This paper details the advantages of using C. elegans to investigate features of the nucleolus during the organism's development by following dynamic changes in fibrillarin (FIB-1) in the cells of early embryos and aged worms. This paper also illustrates the involvement of the ncl-1 gene and other possible candidate genes in nucleolar-size control. Lastly, we summarize the ribosomal proteins involved in life span and innate immunity, and those homologous genes that correspond to human disorders of ribosomopathy.

RESUMO

(1) This study tests hypothesis whether extracorporeal shock wave (ECSW) therapy effectively salvages mouse critical limb ischemia (CLI). In vitro result demonstrated that the angiogenesis parameters (i.e., tubular length/cluster/network formation) and protein expressions of EGFR/VEGFR2/RAS/c-Raf/MEK/ERK/VEGF/p-PI3K/p-Akt/p-m-TOR were significantly and progressively increased with stepwise augmentation of ECSW energy (0.1/0.14/0.20 mJ/mm2/140 impulses). On the other hand, they were suppressed by administration of Avastin (20 µM). Adult male B6 mice (n = 24) were equally categorized into group 1 (sham-operated control), group 2 (CLI), group 3 [CLI + ECSW (0.12 mJ/mm2/120 impulses/at days 1/3/7 after CLI induction)] and group 4 [CLI + ECSW (0.12 mJ/mm2/120 impulses) + Avastin (1 mg/intramuscular-injection)] at days 1/3/7 after CLI induction] and quadriceps were harvested by day 14. The laser Doppler result showed that the ratio of left (ischemia) to right (normal) limb blood flow was highest in group 1, lowest in group 2, and significantly higher in group 3 than in group 4 by days 7/14 after the CLI procedure (p < 0.0001). The protein expressions of cell proliferation/migration/angiogenesis receptors (EGFR/VEGFR2), angiogenesis biomarkers (VEGF/CXCR4/SDF-1) and cell proliferation/growth/survival (Ras/c-Raf/MEK/ERK)/(PI3K/Akt/m-TOR) and cell motility/proliferation (p-FAK/p-Scr) signaling biomarkers were significantly higher in group 3 than in groups 1/2/4, and significantly lower in group 1 than in groups 2/4, but they did not show a difference between groups 2 and 4 (all p < 0.001). The small vessel density and cellular levels of endothelial cell surface marker (CD31+) exhibited an identical pattern of blood flow, whereas the angiogenesis (CXCR4+/VEGF+) displayed an identical pattern of VEGFR2 among the groups (all p < 0.0001). The in vitro and in vivo studies found ECSW salvaged the CLI mainly through upregulating Ras-Raf-MEK/ERK/cell motility, cell proliferation/growth pathways and angiogenesis.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This study tested the hypothesis that overexpression of cellular prion protein in endothelial progenitor cells (PrPcOE-EPCs), defined as "rejuvenated EPCs," was superior to EPCs for salvaging the critical limb ischemia (CLI) induced after 28-day chronic kidney disease (CKD) induction in rat. METHODS AND RESULTS: Cell viability and flow cytometric analyses of early/late apoptosis/total-intracellular ROS/cell cycle (sub-G1, G2/M phase) were significantly higher in EPCs + H2O2 than in EPCs that were significantly reversed in PrPcOE-EPCs + H2O2 (all p < 0.001). The protein expressions of inflammation (IL-1ß/IL-6/MMP-9/p-NF-κB) were significantly increased in EPC + TNF-α than in EPCs that were significantly reversed in PrPcOE-EPCs + TNF-α (all p < 0.001). Adult-male SD rats (n = 8/each group) were categorized into group 1 (sham-operated control), group 2 (CKD + CLI), group 3 [CKD + CLI + EPCs by intravenous (0.6 × 105)/intra-muscular (0.6 × 105) injections at 3 h after CLI induction], group 4 (CKD + CLI + PrPcOE-EPCs/dose-administration as group 3) and group 5 (CKD + CLI + siPrnp-EPCs/dose-administration as group 3). By day 14 after CLI induction, the ratio of ischemia to normal blood flow (INBF) in CLI area was highest in group 1/lowest in group 2/significantly higher in group 4 than in groups 3/5 and significantly higher in group 3 than in group 5 (all p < 0.0001). Histopathology demonstrated that the angiogenesis (number of small vessels/CD31 + cells) exhibited a similar trend, whereas the fibrosis/kidney injury score exhibited an opposite pattern of INBF among the groups (all p < 0.0001). The protein expressions of angiogenesis (SDF-1α/VEGF/CXCR4)/cell-stress signaling (p-PI3K/p-Akt/p-m-TOR) were significantly and progressively increased from groups 1-4 that were reversed in group 5 (all p < 0.0001). The protein expressions of fibrotic (p-Smad3/TGF-ß)/oxidative-stress (NOX-1/NOX-2/oxidized-protein)/apoptotic (mitochondrial-Bax/cleaved caspase3/cleaved PARP)/mitochondrial-damaged (cytosolic-cytochrome-C) biomarkers displayed an opposite pattern of INBF among the groups (all p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: PrPcOE-EPCs were superior to EPCs only therapy for salvaging the CLI.

RESUMO

We report on graphene films grown by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition on bulk and thin film nickel. Carbon precipitation on the polycrystalline grains is controlled by the methane concentration and substrate cooling rate. It is found that graphene grows over multiple grains, with edges terminating along the grain boundaries and with dimensions directly correlated to the size of the underlying grains. This greatly restricts the resulting graphene size (<10 µm) in the thin film growth, whereas monolayer graphene with linear dimensions of hundreds of micrometers takes up the great majority of the surface overlayers on the bulk nickel (>50%). In addition, the number of layers can be better controlled in the bulk growth. Characterizations of the graphene sheets using transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and transport measurements in the field-effect configuration are also discussed.

RESUMO

Colorectal cancer (CRC) has ranked first in terms of incidence in Taiwan. Surgical resection combined with chemo-, radio-, or targeted-therapies are the main treatments for CRC patients in current clinical practice. However, many CRC patients still respond poorly to these treatments, leading to tumor recurrence and an unacceptably high incidence of metastasis and death. Therefore, appropriate diagnosis, treatment, and drug selection are pressing issues in clinical practice. The Mi-2/nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase complex is an important epigenetic regulator of chromatin structure and gene expression. An important component of this complex is chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding protein 4 (CHD4), which is involved in DNA repair after injury. Recent studies have indicated that CHD4 has oncogenic functions that inhibit multiple tumor suppressor genes through epigenetic regulation. However, the role of CHD4 in CRC has not yet been well investigated. In this study, we compared CHD4 expression in CRC patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. We found higher levels of CHD4 expression in CRC patients. In a series of in vitro experiments, we found that CHD4 affected cell motility and drug sensitivity in CRC cells. In animal models, the depletion of CHD4 affected CRC tumor growth, and the combination of a histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) inhibitor and platinum drugs inhibited CHD4 expression and increased the cytotoxicity of platinum drugs. Moreover, CHD4 expression was also a prognostic biomarker in CRC patients. Based on the above results, we believe that CHD4 expression is a viable biomarker for predicting metastasis CRC patients, and it has the potential to become a target for drug development.

RESUMO

This study tested the impact of single dose and two doses of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and EPCs-derived condition medium (CM) on protecting the left-ventricular myocardium (LVM) from acute ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. In vitro study showed EPCs and CM had comparably higher capacity for enhancement of angiogenesis as compared with the controls (all P < .001). Adult-male SD rats (n = 36) were equally categorized into groups 1 (sham-operated control), 2 (IR+vehicle), 3 [IR+EPCs/1.2 × 106/intravenous administration at 3 h after IR procedure), 4 (IR+EPCs/1.2 × 106/at 3 h/24 h after IR), 5 (IR+CM/3.0cc/intravenous administration at 3 h after IR), 6 (IR+EPCs/3.0cc/at 3h/24 h after IR), and euthanized by day 3 after IR. The left-ventricular-ejection-fraction, protein and cellular expressions of endothelial-cell markers (CD31/vWF), small vessel number and protein expression of mitochondrial (mitochondrial-cytochrome-C) integrity were highest in group 1, lowest in group 2, significantly higher in group 4 than in groups 3/5/6 and significantly higher in groups 3/6 than in group 5 but they showed no differences in groups3/6, whereas the protein expressions of apoptotic (cleaved-caspase 3/cleaved-PARP), fibrotic (Smad3/TGF-ß), mitochondrial-damaged (cytosolic-cytochrome-C), heart-failed/pressure-overload (BNP), oxidative-stress (p47phox/NOX-1/NOX-2/oxidized protein), and autophagic (LCB3-II/LCB3-I) biomarkers and fibrotic/collagen-deposition areas exhibited an opposite pattern to endothelial-cell markers (all P < .0001). The protein expressions of angiogenesis (VEGF/SDF-1α/CXCR4/HIF-1α) were lowest in group 1, highest in group 4, significantly higher in groups 3/6 than in groups 2/5, significantly higher in group 5 than in group 2, but they showed no difference between groups 3/6 (all P < .0001). These results demonstrate that two consecutive doses of EPC/CM were superior to just one at protecting LVM against IR injury.

RESUMO

This study tested the hypothesis that Entresto (En) therapy protected the cardiomyocytes and heart function in cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) rats fed with high-protein diet (HPD) through regulating the oxidative-stress and Mfn2-mediated mitochondrial functional integrity. En (12.5 µM for the in-vitro study) protected the H9C2-cells against H2O2-induced cell apoptosis, whereas stepwise-increased H2O2 concentrations induced a significant increase in protein expressions of Mfn2/phosphorylated (p)-DRP1/mitochondrial-Bax in H9C2-cells. En downregulated H2O2-induced mitochondrial fission/upregulated mitochondrial fusion and deletion of Mfn2 gene (i.e., shMfn2) to significantly reduce H2O2-induced ROS production. En significantly suppressed and shMfn2 further significantly suppressed both H2O2-reduced mitochondrial-membrane potential and H2O2-induced ROS production/cell apoptosis/mitochondrial damage/mitochondrial-Bax released from mitochondria in H9C2 cells. En significantly reduced protein expressions of Mfn2 and p-DRP1. Additionally, En significantly suppressed and shMfn2 further significantly suppressed the protein expressions of mitochondrial-damaged (DRP1)/oxidative-stress (NOX-1/NOX-2)/apoptosis (mitochondrial-Bax/caspase-3/PARP)/autophagic (LC3B-II/LC3B-I) biomarkers (all p < 0.01). Rats were categorized into group 1 [sham-control + high-protein-diet (HPD)], group 2 (CRS + HPD) and group 3 (CRS+ HPD + En/100 mg/kg/day). By day 63 after CRS induction, the LVEF was significantly lower in group 3 and more significantly lower in group 2 than in group 1, whereas the protein expressions of oxidative-stress (NOX-1/NOX-2/p22phox/oxidized protein)/apoptotic (mitochondrial-Bax/caspase-3/PARP), fibrotic (Smad-3/TGF-ß), autophagic (Beclin-1/Atg5/ratio of LC3B-II/LC3B-I) and mitochondrial-damaged (DRP1/cyclophilin-D/cytosolic-cytochrome-C) biomarkers exhibited an opposite pattern of LVEF among the groups. Downregulation of Mfn2 by En or shMfn2 in cardiomyocytes avoided H2O2 damage and En improved the cardiac function in HPD-feeding CRS rat via adjusting Mfn2-mediated mitochondrial functional integrity.
