In the current study, we retrieved Oncomine database and found a lncRNA colorectal neoplasia differentially expressed (CRNDE) which is highly expressed in different cohorts of RCC patients; this clue reminds us that CRNDE might exert its functions in RCC tumorigenesis. We then detected the level of CRNDE in fresh RCC tissues and found that CRNDE is significantly up-regulated compared with adjacent tissues. Furthermore, both loss and gain function assays revealed that CRNDE promotes RCC cell proliferation and growth both in vitro and in vivo.In addition, we found that CRNDE regulates the cell cycle transition from G0/G1 stage to S stage and modulates the expression of CCND1 and CCNE1. Moreover, we further illustrated that CRNDE activates Wnt/β-catenin signaling in RCC cell lines. Taken together, in the current study, we found that lncRNA CRNDE is highly expressed in RCC malignant tissues and the heightened CRNDE robustly promotes RCC cell proliferation through activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling; our findings enlarge our knowledge in the molecular pathology of RCC tumorigenesis.</p>","PeriodicalId":75729,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive therapy","volume":"24 3 1","pages":"15997–16004"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"53039554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Major problem for the physicians is to understanding which patients are at risk of a disease evolution and to prescribe the right therapy to the right patients. Indeed, in addition to patients with a stable disease with no trend to evolution or even with a spontaneous recovery, patients with an active disease and patients with a rapidly evolving glomerulonephritis are described. Several histopathological, biological and clinical markers have been described and are currently used to a better understanding of patients at risk, to suggest the right therapy and to monitor the therapy effect and the IgAN evolution over time. The clinical markers are the most reliable and allow to divide the IgAN patients into three categories: The low risk patients, the intermediate risk patients and the high risk patients. Accordingly, the therapeutic measures range from no therapy with the only need of repeated controls, to supportive therapy eventually associated with low dose immunosuppression, to immunosuppressive treatment in the attempt to avoid the evolution to end stage renal disease. However the current evidence about the different therapies is still matter of discussion. New drugs are in the pipeline and are described. They are object of randomized controlled trials, but studies with a number of patients adequately powered and with a long follow up are needed to evaluate efficacy and safety of these new drugs. </p>","PeriodicalId":75729,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive therapy","volume":"30 1","pages":"6-19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4707169/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74326211","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}

Patients are often exposed at work or at home to antigens that lead acutely to symptoms of cough, fever, and dyspnea. If the patient is no longer exposed to these antigens, there is usually a recovery without any long-term sequelae. However, chronic exposure can lead to chronic dyspnea and irreversible lung disease. Recent studies have shown the importance of T helper 1 cells and other inflammatory mediators like interleukin-17 in driving the acute inflammatory process. A transition to chronic stages of HP seems to be secondary to T helper 2-mediated inflammation. Symptoms of HP can be acutely controlled with steroids but the definitive treatment involves considering the diagnosis and identifying and stopping continued antigen exposure.","PeriodicalId":75729,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive therapy","volume":"23 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/cpm.0b013e3182217bbd","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61661824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
