Sirtuin 6 protects against podocyte injury by blocking the renin-angiotensin system by inhibiting the Wnt1/β-catenin pathway
Sirtuins (Sirts) are a family of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent protein deacetylases that share diverse cellular functions. Increasing evidence shows that Sirts play a critical role in podocyte in...

L-Cysteine attenuates osteopontin-mediated neuroinflammation following hypoxia-ischemia insult in neonatal mice by inducing S-sulfhydration of Stat3
We previously show that L-Cysteine administration significantly suppresses hypoxia-ischemia (HI)-induced neuroinflammation in neonatal mice through releasing H2S. In this study we conducted proteomics analysis to...

Open AccessGlobal profiling reveals common and distinct N6-methyladenosine (m6A) regulation of innate immune responses during bacterial and viral infections
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a dynamic post-transcriptional RNA modification influencing all aspects of mRNA biology. While m6A modifications during numerous viral infections have been described, the role of m6A i...

Age-related differences in interferon regulatory factor-4 and -5 signaling in ischemic brains of mice
Stroke is a disease that mainly affects the elderly. Since the age-related differences in stroke have not been well studied, modeling stroke in aged animals is clinically more relevant. The inflammatory respon...

Regulation of microglial activation in stroke
When ischemic stroke occurs, oxygen and energy depletion triggers a cascade of events, including inflammatory responses, glutamate excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, and apoptosis that result in a profound brai...

Open AccessOverexpression of transketolase-like gene 1 is associated with cell proliferation in uterine cervix cancer
Tumor cells need large energy and nucleic acids to proliferate and grow. For most of their energy needs, cancer cells depend more on glycolysis. For most of their nucleic acids needs, cancer cells depend more ...
