The differential expression and survival analyses of studied genes were carried out by the Encyclopedia of Ribonucleic Acid Interactomes platform. The GeneMANIA and biological general repository for interaction datasets were applied to obtain the regulatory network of dual-specificity phosphatase 28. Western blot analyzed the protein expression levels of dual-specificity phosphatase 28 and Josephin domain containing 2 in clinical samples collected from hepatocellular carcinoma individuals. To study the functions of dual-specificity phosphatase 28 and Josephin domain containing 2, transfection was performed in hepatocellular carcinoma cells, of which efficiency was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. Cell proliferation was evaluated by colony formation and ethynyl deoxyuridine assays. Both dual-specificity phosphatase 28 and Josephin domain containing 2 were found to be highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma. The overexpression of dual-specificity phosphatase 28 exerts a promotion role in the cell proliferation and migration of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells, whereas the deletion of dual-specificity phosphatase 28 exhibited the opposite role. Bioinformatics tools found that Josephin domain containing 2 is an interacted gene of dual-specificity phosphatase 28, which was verified by co-immunoprecipitation. Josephin domain containing 2 regulates dual-specificity phosphatase 28 stability through deubiquitination. Furthermore, overexpressing dual-specificity phosphatase 28 reversed both the proliferation and migration of hepatocellular carcinoma cells inhibited by Josephin domain containing 2 silencing. Josephin domain containing 2 interacts with and deubiquitinates dual-specificity phosphatase 28 to improve its protein stability, thereby promoting the proliferation and migration of hepatocellular carcinoma cells.","PeriodicalId":13292,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"86 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ijpsonline.com/articles/role-of-deubiquitinase-josephin-domain-containing-2-in-proliferation-and-migration-of-human-hepatoma-cells-through-suppr.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147899850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Flow cytometry was utilized for the estimation of cell apoptosis. Western blotting was employed to detect cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-9 protein levels. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was selected to detect microRNA-494 expression. Lipopolysaccharides significantly decreased malondialdehyde levels, increased glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activities, induced cell apoptosis, and upregulated cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-9 protein levels in cardiomyocytes, suggesting that lipopolysaccharides facilitated cardiomyocyte oxidative stress and apoptosis. Thin-film electroluminescent overtly weakened lipopolysaccharides induced cardiomyocyte oxidative stress and apoptosis in a dose-dependent mode. Thin-film electroluminescent partly overturned lipopolysaccharides induced downregulation of microRNA-494 expression in cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, elevation of microRNA-494 impaired lipopolysaccharides-induced cardiomyocyte oxidative stress and apoptosis. In addition, microRNA-494 knockdown weakened thin-film electroluminescent mediated repressive effects on lipopolysaccharides induced cardiomyocyte oxidative stress and apoptosis.

The optical density value was detected via cell counting kit-8 assay, the content of lactate dehydrogenase in cell supernatant was detected via colorimetry, and the expressions of nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathway-related proteins p65 and p50 and B cell lymphoma-2, tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 and caspase-3 were determined through Western blotting. 1 mm calcium oxalate monohydrate could significantly reduce the proliferation ability of NRK-52E cell and cause cytotoxicity. 1 mm calcium oxalate monohydrate significantly up-regulated the expressions of p65, p50, tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 and caspase-3, and significantly lowered the B cell lymphoma-2. Besides, 10 μM QNZ+1 mm calcium oxalate monohydrate obviously down-regulated the expressions of p65, p50, tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 and caspase-3, and obviously increased the B cell lymphoma. The apoptosis of rat renal tubular epithelial cells in rats with calcium oxalate kidney stones may be promoted through activating the nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathway.

Kifunensine, a N-glycosylation inhibitor, shows promise as a potential therapeutic agent for modulating the hyperactivation of transforming growth factor-beta 1 signalling pathways in fibrotic diseases. This study explored kifunensine's effects and mechanisms of action using an innovative in vitro cardiac fibrosis model involving primary rat cardiac fibroblasts treated with transforming growth factor-beta 1. Protein expression related to cardiac fibrosis was assessed via Western blotting and immunofluorescence assays. Kifunensine significantly protected these cells against transforming growth factor-beta 1 induced fibrosis, as indicated by decreased collagen I, collagen III, and alpha-smooth muscle actin expression. Interestingly, kifunensine did not alter transforming growth factor-beta receptor expression but reduced transforming growth factor-beta 1 ligand-receptor complex formation, inhibiting transforming growth factor-beta type I receptor and transforming growth factor-beta type II receptor activation and suppressing suppressor of mothers against decapentaplegic 2 and suppressor of mothers against decapentaplegic 3 phosphorylation. This underlines N-glycosylation's role in cardiac fibrosis and establishes the anti-fibrotic potential of moderate N-glycan alteration on transforming growth factor-beta receptors using kifunensine, suggesting a novel therapeutic strategy for myocardial fibrosis.","PeriodicalId":13292,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"86 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ijpsonline.com/articles/kifunensine-attenuates-transforming-growth-factorbeta-1-induced-cardiac-fibrosis-by-inhibiting-transforming-growth-facto.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147919689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to determine the immunoregulatory effects and the underlying mechanisms of Jia Wei Jing Xie Yin in psoriasis-related inflammatory responses. Bagg albino mice with imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like dermatitis were treated with saline (Model), methotrexate that serves as a positive control, or low, medium and high doses of Jia Wei Jing Xie Yin intragastrically. The pathological changes, inflammatory cell infiltration, the expression of inflammatory cytokines, and Janus tyrosine kinase 3/signal transducers and activators of transcription pathway related proteins in the skin lesion were examined. The abundance of Vγ4+ T cells in lymph nodes and spleen was determined by flow cytometry. Jia Wei Jing Xie Yin ameliorated psoriasis area and severity index scores, reduced the infiltration of inflammatory cells and interleukin-17 producing gamma delta T cells, inhibited the messenger ribonucleic acid expression of interleukin-17, interleukin-22, interleukin-6, tumour necrosis factor alpha and matrix metalloproteinase-9, reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and pathological damage. Nevertheless, the expression of the Janus tyrosine kinase 3/signal transducers and activators of transcription signaling pathway was not significantly changed in the MTX and Jia Wei Jing Xie Yin groups.
