In this study, the human adipose-derived stem cells were assessed in vitro, for transdifferentiation potency into Shwann-like cells (SLCs) as a candidate source for clinical cell therapy, under the treatment of triiodothyronine (T3) hormone, and compared with the untreated cells. The cell viability rate, myelination and neurotrophic factors expression of SLCs were evaluated two weeks post- induction by MTT assay, immunocytochemistry and real-time RT-PCR techniques, respectively. The obtained results revealed a significant decrease in SLCs viability, compared to the adipose-derived stem cells (P < 0.001). Immunocytochemistry technique was applied to detect SLCs markers, such as S100β, GFAP and myelin basic proteins (MBP) in the presence and absence of T3 treatment. The results indicated that administering T3 can significantly increase the differentiation and myelination potency of SLCs (P < 0.01). The findings of real-time RT-PCR technique indicated that the expression of Schwann cells markers, MBP, brain-derived neurotrophic factor and glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor were upregulated significantly with T3 hormone administration in comparison with the untreated cells (P < 0.05). The SLCs were able to express the neurotrophic factors and myelination related genes in the presence of T3 hormone. Furthermore, T3 administration improved myelination potency of adipose-derived stem cells, in vitro. Further in vivo experiments are necessary to confirm the advantages of using a combination of autologous SLCs and T3 hormone for peripheral nerve injury recovery.","PeriodicalId":14152,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Molecular and Cellular Medicine","volume":"11 1","pages":"41-54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/03/64/ijmcm-11-41.PMC9653553.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40695715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, neurological defects and BBB permeability (via Evans blue staining), cerebral edema (cerebrospinal fluid percentage), and ZO-1, Occludin, and Calapin expression (by quantitative real time- PCR) were investigated. qRT-PCR results showed miR-149-5p expression decreases after cerebral ischemia induction. In addition, Occludin and ZO-1 expression significantly increased in miR-149-5p group.

The majority of previous studies looked at BRN3A's molecular characteristics; however, the possibility of genetic variations in BRN3A's auto-regulatory region in relation to cervical cancer risk has been underestimated until now. In a retrospective study in the Eastern UP population, India, we detected genetic variations in the cis-regulatory proximal enhancer region located around 5.6 kb upstream of transcription start site of BRN3A. Our analysis of PCR and DNA sequencing confirmed this novel SNP (BRN3A g.60163379A>G) within the auto-regulatory region of BRN3A. As compared to control subjects, cancer cases exhibited a 1.32-fold higher allele frequency (χ2 = 6.315, p = 0.012). In homozygous (GG) but not in heterozygous conditions, odds ratio (OR) analysis suggests a significant association of cancer risk with the SNP (OR = 2.60, p ≤ 0.004). We further confirmed using the functional analysis that this SNP increased the luciferase gene activity in HPV-positive cervical cancer SiHa cells that were exposed to progesterone. As a result of the association of polymorphisms in a non-coding region of an oncogene with increased cancer risks, we are suggesting that this genetic variation in non-coding region can be used in prediction, diagnosis, or predicting the progression of the disease.","PeriodicalId":14152,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Molecular and Cellular Medicine","volume":"11 2","pages":"88-103"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/03/68/ijmcm-11-088.PMC10116355.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9388148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, the Nrf2 TT genotype was associated with a 3.9-fold increased risk of early-onset preeclampsia. We detected a positive association between the levels of body mass index, MDA, and the Nrf2 polymorphism with the risk of preeclampsia and a negative correlation between the level of TAC with the preeclampsia risk.

The array profiling of patients with IDD and individuals without IDD was acquired from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database (viz., GSE19943, GSE63492, and GSE34095). The expression profiles of miRNAs and genes with differential patterns were analyzed using GEO2R. The target genes of the chosen miRNA were then examined, and in silico functional analyses were performed on the signaling pathways and biological processes of the differentially expressed genes. Three human miRNAs were up and downregulated in IDD patients in the examined data sets. Among them, hsa-miR-508-5p had a significant differential expression in the IDD group, and SEC11A, IPO5, FN1, and MRPS10, as the targets of hsa-miR-508-5p, were upregulated in the IDD group. Furthermore, extracellular matrix-receptor interactions, focal adhesion, and actin cytoskeleton regulation were important pathways involved in IDD. Our analysis identified hsa-miR-508-5p as a novel miRNA involved in IDD pathogenies.

The effect of sesamin on cell inhibition and expression levels of apoptotic genes in leukemic cell lines were investigated by MTT assay and real-time PCR, respectively. Moreover, apoptotic proteins were studied by mass spectrometry and bioinformatics tools to investigate the relation between sesamin and targeted proteins. Results showed that sesamin increased cell inhibition in both cell lines in dose- and time-dependent manner. Levels of caspase-3, -7, -8, and -9 gene expressions significantly increased, while BCL-2 decreased drastically in sesamin-treated cells. From bioinformatics study, PARP4, IPPK and caspase family proteins were found to be involved in sesamin that induced apoptosis in leukemic cells. Besides, doxorubicin, a chemotherapeutic drug, also shared the same protein targets as sesamin in apoptosis pathway. Sesamin demonstrates its potential to enhance cell inhibition and promotes cell apoptosis in both MOLT-4 and NB4 leukemic cell lines.

To find pathways containing DEmiRNAs, VEGF pathway genes, and their related genes, DIANA-miRPath v3.0 and the ToppGene database were utilized. miRNAs linked to VEGF signaling pathway genes, interactional genes, and DEmiRNAs were discovered by extracting common pathways. The ability of these miRNAs to distinguish rGBM patients from those with primary GBM was assessed using ROC analysis. The study revealed that in rGBM, 30 miRNAs were significantly up-regulated and 49 miRNAs were considerably down-regulated. Among them, the VEGF pathway was connected to 22 up-regulated miRNAs and 29 down-regulated miRNAs. The MAPK pathway shared the most genes with the VEGF pathway, accounting for 1,014 of the interacting genes, which were discovered to have interactions with VEGF signaling pathway genes. Furthermore, 14 miRNAs were identified as having a great deal of potential as molecular biomarkers and therapeutic targets for rGBM. The results indicate that the VEGF pathway in rGBM is regulated by a number of interrelated pathways.

Profiling of miRNAs expression was performed using TaqMan MiRNA Array. Apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry and the expression of some genes involved in \"anti-proliferative\" signaling pathways were evaluated by western blotting and real time PCR methods. Twenty microRNAs were differentially expressed in vitexin treated cells compared to the control. Among them, let-7- b, c were up regulated while miRNA-17-5p was down regulated with highest score. Also, we detected the expression changes of mentioned miRNAs target genes as well as genes involved in caspase apoptosis pathways. Our results provide the first evidence that vitexin can effect miRNA expression in MCF-7 cells. Also based on our finding, vitexin can be an attractive miRNA mediated chemo preventive and therapeutic agent in breast cancer.","PeriodicalId":14152,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Molecular and Cellular Medicine","volume":"11 3","pages":"197-206"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/34/eb/ijmcm-11-197.PMC10440000.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10041376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
