The findings suggest that the epidermal strata are well-defined, with the volume likely correlating to the size and cellular density of the keratinocytes. Corneodesmosomes and tonofilaments were identified across all epidermal layers, indicating the probable maintenance of anchoring protein activity, even post-cornification of these cells.

In skeletal muscle, collagen I and III are two kinds of primary collagen types. Their influence on myoblasts and the difference between them remain ambiguous.

The results showed that both collagen I and III enhanced the proliferation of myoblasts, with no statistical difference between them. Similarly, collagen I and III enhanced the migration of myoblasts, with collagen I was more pronounced in Transwell assay. On the contrary, collagen I and III inhibited myoblasts differentiation, with collagen III was more pronounced at gene expression level.

After 20 weeks, animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation; blood was collected to measure total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL); aortae were collected to detect morphologic changes. Rats of the HFD group showed a significant increase in body weight (B.Wt), altered lipid profile increased expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and decreased expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). However, in HFD+SC there was a significant decrease in body weight gain and an improvement in lipid profile. Histopathological and ultrastructural variations observed in the aorta of the HFD group when treated with ADSCs showed preserved normal histological architecture and reduced atherosclerosis compared with the HFD group. This was evidenced by laboratory, histological, immunohistochemical, and morphometric studies. Thus, ADSCs reduced TC, TG, and LDL, reduced the expression of iNOS, and increased the expression of eNOS. The high-fat diet was likely to cause damage to the wall of blood vessels.

We conducted a series of experiments, including hematoxylin-eosin staining, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence (IF), reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), and western blotting.

Overexpression of PTPN22 ameliorated pathological damage and increased serum levels of T4 and thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibody (TRAb), as well as the ratio of thyroid weight to body weight in GD mice. Furthermore, GD mice exhibited elevated levels of CD4+ and IL-17+ T cells, an increased Th17/Treg ratio, and upregulation of IL-17A mRNA expression. Conversely, there was a decrease in Foxp3+ T cells and transcriptional levels of Foxp3, which were reversed by PTPN22 overexpression. <em>In vitro</em> experiments showed that PTPN22 overexpression in CD4+ T cells from spleen tissues of GD mice enhanced Foxp3 expression while reducing IL-17A expression.
