MiR-146b is a regulator of human visceral preadipocyte proliferation and differentiation and its expression is altered in human obesity
Visceral obesity is an independent risk factor for metabolic syndrome, and abnormal fat accumulation is linked to increases in the number and size of adipocytes. MiR-146b was a miRNA highly expressed in mature adipocytes while very lowly expressed in human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and human visceral preadipocytes (vHPA). In this paper, we mainly focused on the roles of miR-146b in adipoge...
متن کاملImpaired Preadipocyte Differentiation in Human Abdominal Obesity
OBJECTIVE We examined preadipocyte differentiation in obese and nonobese individuals and the effect of cytokines and wingless-type MMTV (mouse mammary tumor virus) integration site family, member 3A (Wnt3a) protein on preadipocyte differentiation and phenotype. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsies were obtained from a total of 51 donors with varying BMI. ...

Background: The present study was carried out on the human population of Kashmir valley to evaluate the status of the biochemical parameters of infected population. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected from 514 individuals, 298 (57.97%) males and 216 (42.02%) females, 187 (36.38%) were found sero-positive for human toxocariasis. Results: Alkaline phosphatase level was found highe...
متن کاملAltered expression of miR-152 and miR-148a in ovarian cancer is related to cell proliferation.
microRNAs (miRs) are endogenous small non-coding RNAs that are aberrantly expressed in various carcinomas. miR-152 and miR-148a have not been comprehensively investigated in ovarian cancer. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify the role of miR-152 and miR-148a in epithelial ovarian cancer. Total RNA was extracted from tissues of 78 patients ...
متن کاملHuman Cancer Biology miR-141 Is a Key Regulator of Renal Cell Carcinoma Proliferation and Metastasis by Controlling EphA2 Expression
Purpose:AlthoughmicroRNAs (miRNA) have been revealed as crucialmodulators of tumorigenesis, our understanding of their roles in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is limited. Here we sought to identify human miRNAs that act as key regulators of renal carcinogenesis. Experimental Design:We performed microarray-based miRNA profiling of clear cell RCC (ccRCC) and adjacent normal tissues and then explored ...
