Open AccessLncRNA IRAR regulates chemokines production in tubular epithelial cells thus promoting kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury
Increasing evidence demonstrates that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in several pathogenic processes of the kidney. However, functions of lncRNAs in ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI) rem...

Open AccessSGLT2 inhibitor activates the STING/IRF3/IFN-β pathway and induces immune infiltration in osteosarcoma
SGLT2 (sodium-glucose cotransporter 2) is an important mediator of epithelial glucose transport and has been reported that SGLT2, robustly and diffusely expressed in malignant cancer cells, was overexpressed i...

Open AccessCell death regulation by MAMs: from molecular mechanisms to therapeutic implications in cardiovascular diseases
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria are interconnected intracellular organelles with vital roles in the regulation of cell signaling and function. While the ER participates in a number of biologica...

Open AccessDysfunction of the energy sensor NFE2L1 triggers uncontrollable AMPK signaling and glucose metabolism reprogramming
The antioxidant transcription factor NFE2L1 (also called Nrf1) acts as a core regulator of redox signaling and metabolism homeostasis, and thus, its dysfunction results in multiple systemic metabolic diseases....

Open AccessAntibiotic pretreatment attenuates liver ischemia–reperfusion injury by Farnesoid X receptor activation
Prophylactic antibiotics (Abx) are used before liver surgery, and the influence of antibiotic pretreatment on hepatic ischemia–reperfusion injury (IRI) remains unclear. Hence, we explored the impact of Abx pre...

Open AccessWNT5A promotes the metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by activating the HDAC7/SNAIL signaling pathway
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, with high incidence and mortality rates and low survival rates. However, the detailed molecular mechanism of ESCC progress...

Open AccessSynovial mesenchymal progenitor derived aggrecan regulates cartilage homeostasis and endogenous repair capacity
Aggrecan is a critical component of the extracellular matrix of all cartilages. One of the early hallmarks of osteoarthritis (OA) is the loss of aggrecan from articular cartilage followed by degeneration of th...

Open AccessFBXO2 targets glycosylated SUN2 for ubiquitination and degradation to promote ovarian cancer development
SAD1/UNC84 domain protein-2 (SUN2) plays a tumor suppressor role in various types of cancer by inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, migration and promoting apoptosis. However, the post-translational regulatio...

Open AccessCD4+ T cells are required to improve the efficacy of CIK therapy in non-small cell lung cancer
As a widely studied adoptive treatment method, CIK (cytokine-induced killer cells) treatment has shown clinical benefits in many clinical trials on non-small cell lung cancer. As a heterogeneous cell populatio...

Article
Open AccessGlobal characterization of extrachromosomal circular DNAs in advanced high grade serous ovarian cancer
High grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most aggressive subtype of ovarian cancer and HGSOC patients often appear with metastasis, leading to the poor prognosis. Up to date, the extrachromosomal circul...

Article
Open AccessFatty acid-binding protein 4 is a therapeutic target for septic acute kidney injury by regulating inflammatory response and cell apoptosis
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory state in response to infection, and concomitant acute kidney injury (AKI) significantly increases morbidity and mortality. Growing evidence suggests that fatty acid-binding pr...

Article
Open AccessPRMT5 critically mediates TMAO-induced inflammatory response in vascular smooth muscle cells
A high plasma level of the choline-derived metabolite trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is closely related to the development of cardiovascular disease. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In the pr...

Open AccessATG7-enhanced impaired autophagy exacerbates acute pancreatitis by promoting regulated necrosis via the miR-30b-5p/CAMKII pathway
The present study was performed to explore whether and how impaired autophagy could modulate calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CAMKII)-regulated necrosis in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis...

Article
Open AccessLoss of function of BRCA1 promotes EMT in mammary tumors through activation of TGFβR2 signaling pathway
BRCA1 deficient breast cancers are aggressive and chemoresistant due, in part, to their enrichment of cancer stem cells that can be generated from carcinoma cells by an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)....

Open AccessCirc-PKD2 promotes Atg13-mediated autophagy by inhibiting miR-646 to increase the sensitivity of cisplatin in oral squamous cell carcinomas
Autophagy is an evolutionally conserved catabolic process that degrades cells to maintain homeostasis. Cisplatin-activated autophagy promotes the expression of circ-PKD2, which plays a role as a tumor suppress...

Open AccessSingle-cell analysis of skin immune cells reveals an Angptl4-ifi20b axis that regulates monocyte differentiation during wound healing
The persistent inflammatory response at the wound site is a cardinal feature of nonhealing wounds. Prolonged neutrophil presence in the wound site due to failed clearance by reduced monocyte-derived macrophage...

Open AccessTargeting CCL2-CCR4 axis suppress cell migration of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
For head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), the local invasion and distant metastasis represent the predominant causes of mortality. Targeted inhibition of chemokines and their receptors is an ongoing a...

Article
Open AccessMyocardin/microRNA-30a/Beclin1 signaling controls the phenotypic modulation of vascular smooth muscle cells by regulating autophagy
Upon vascular injury, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) change from a contractile phenotype to a synthetic phenotype, thereby leading to atherogenesis and arterial restenosis. Myocardin (MYOCD) is essential...
