Open AccessNegative regulation of UCP2 by TGFβ signaling characterizes low and intermediate-grade primary breast cancer
The histological manifestation of growth-regulating and differentiation-inducing signals in cancer cells is considered as a key component for clinical outcome prediction and commonly defined as tumor different...

The X-linked mental retardation gene PHF8 is a histone demethylase involved in neuronal differentiation
Recent studies have identified mutations in PHF8, an X-linked gene encoding a JmjC domain-containing protein, as a causal factor for X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) and cleft lip/cleft palate. However, the ...

Open AccessSpontaneously immortalised bovine mammary epithelial cells exhibit a distinct gene expression pattern from the breast cancer cells
Spontaneous immortalisation of cultured mammary epithelial cells (MECs) is an extremely rare event, and the molecular mechanism behind spontaneous immortalisation of MECs is unclear. Here, we report the establ...

A natural BH3 mimetic induces autophagy in apoptosis-resistant prostate cancer via modulating Bcl-2–Beclin1 interaction at endoplasmic reticulum
A natural BH3-mimetic, small-molecule inhibitor of Bcl-2, (−)-gossypol, shows promise in ongoing phase II and III clinical trials for human prostate cancer. In this study we show that (−)-gossypol preferential...

Direct differentiation of atrial and ventricular myocytes from human embryonic stem cells by alternating retinoid signals
Although myocyte cell transplantation studies have suggested a promising therapeutic potential for myocardial infarction, a major obstacle to the development of clinical therapies for myocardial repair is the ...

Isolation and Phylogenetic Analysis of H1N1 Swine Influenza Virus from Sick Pigs in Southern China
Two swine influenza (SI) H1N1 virus was isolated from a pig during a severe outbreak of respiratory disease in south China. The two H1N1 influenza viruses were classical SI virus. A/swine/Guangdong/L6/09 is cl...

Identification and expansion of cancer stem cells in tumor tissues and peripheral blood derived from gastric adenocarcinoma patients
Gastric cancer is the fourth most common cancer worldwide, with a high rate of death and low 5-year survival rate. To date, there is a lack of efficient therapeutic protocols for gastric cancer. Recent studies...

Exogenous plant MIR168a specifically targets mammalian LDLRAP1: evidence of cross-kingdom regulation by microRNA
Our previous studies have demonstrated that stable microRNAs (miRNAs) in mammalian serum and plasma are actively secreted from tissues and cells and can serve as a novel class of biomarkers for diseases, and a...

Phosphatidylserine exposure during apoptosis reflects bidirectional trafficking between plasma membrane and cytoplasm
Phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure on the external leaflet of the plasma membrane is widely observed during apoptosis and forms the basis for the annexin V binding assay to detect apoptotic cell death. Current e...

Article
Open AccessNitric oxide suppresses NLRP3 inflammasome activation and protects against LPS-induced septic shock
Inflammasomes are multi-protein complexes that trigger the activation of caspase-1 and the maturation of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), yet the regulation of these complexes remains poorly characterized. Here we show...

Rapid and efficient reprogramming of human fetal and adult blood CD34+ cells into mesenchymal stem cells with a single factor
The direct conversion of skin cells into somatic stem cells has opened new therapeutic possibilities in regenerative medicine. Here, we show that human induced mesenchymal stem cells (iMSCs) can be efficiently...

Open AccessER stress-mediated apoptosis induced by celastrol in cancer cells and important role of glycogen synthase kinase-3β in the signal network
HeLa cells treated with celastrol, a natural compound with inhibitive effect on proteasome, exhibited increase in apoptotic rate and characteristics of apoptosis. To clarify the signal network activated by cel...

Open AccessAutophagy prevents irradiation injury and maintains stemness through decreasing ROS generation in mesenchymal stem cells
Stem cells were characterized by their stemness: self-renewal and pluripotency. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a unique type of adult stem cells that have been proven to be involved in tissue repair, immuno...
