Enzyme activity was measured and apoptosis of rat cardiomyocytes was assessed by TdT-mediated dUTP Nick-End Labeling (TUNEL) along with analysis of myocardial function by color\u0000 Doppler echocardiogram. In addition, triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining evaluated the myocardial ischemia. BMSCs were co-cultured with primary cardiomyocytes followed by measuring autophagy and exosome morphology of myocardial tissue by transmission electron microscope and protein\u0000 expression by Western blot. Exosomes secreted by Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were successfully isolated. LDH, CK, CK-MB activity, cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate, LVESD, LVEDD, LVEDP, myocardial infarction area, cell area occupied by autophagic vesicles and p53 expression in model\u0000 group were higher than control group (P <0.05) and they were lower in exosome group than model group. In addition, LVEF, LVFS, and LVSP were lower in model group and higher in exosome group (P <0.05). Model group showed significantly promoted autophagy activation and autophagosome\u0000 formation, which were inhibited by cardiomyocyte exosomes. Moreover, exosome-like vesicles were found with a diameter of 60–90 nm. Furthermore, PKH-26 staining showed that cardiomyocytes could uptake exosomes well. Myocardial injury significantly promotes autophagy activation. Moreover,\u0000 the apoptosis rate of cardiomyocytes and the area of myocardial ischemia were reduced and the cardiac function of rats with myocardial infarction was improved.","PeriodicalId":15260,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biomedical nanotechnology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45138822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Corneal morphological\u0000 changes (horizontal keratometry [HK], vertical keratometry [VK], central corneal thickness [CCT], and corneal endothelial cell density), regulatory function (positive and negative relative accommodation [PRA, NRA], regulatory amplitude, and regulatory sensitivity), ocular axis, visual acuity\u0000 (naked visual acuity, Diopter), tear film stability (BUT test and SIT test), intraocular pressure, and safety before and after treatment were compared between groups. Moreover, we performed a Spearman correlation analysis on the effects of initial age and diopter on axial growth. After treatment,\u0000 HK, VK of cornea, and CCT levels significantly decreased in both groups while no significant changes were found in endothelial cell density. In the combined group, there was a higher improvement in PRA, accommodation amplitude, and accommodation sensitivity, which could delay ocular axis growth\u0000 and improve naked eye vision and diopters. Meanwhile, a significant negative correlation was found between patients’ initial age and axial growth. Moreover, BUT and SIT recovery in the combined group were relatively better after wearing Ortho-K.

The study analyzes the expression levels and stability of IGF2BP3, as well as its impact\u0000 on NSCLC cell functions. The findings indicate that IGF2BP3 is upregulated in NSCLC patients and cell lines. Knocking down IGF2BP3 reduces cell proliferation and promotes ferroptosis in A549 and H1299 cells. Additionally, the study reveals that IGF2BP3 regulates the m6A modification of the\u0000 fanconi anemia group D2 protein (FANCD2) and influences its mRNA stability. Overexpressing FANCD2 counteracts the effects of IGF2BP3 silencing and increases the aggressiveness of NSCLC. Furthermore, treatment with celastrol induces ferroptosis in NSCLC cells and inhibits tumor growth in\u0000 vivo. In conclusion, these findings suggest that IGF2BP3 acts as an oncogene in NSCLC. Its interaction with FANCD2 through m6A modification suppresses ferroptosis in NSCLC cells. Thus, the IGF2BP3/FANCD2 signaling pathway may serve as a potential therapeutic target for NSCLC.","PeriodicalId":15260,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biomedical nanotechnology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49522088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
