Disulfiram (DSF), an anti-alcoholism drug, has been reported as an inhibitor of NF-κB. NF-κB is involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and self-renewal of breast cancer stem cells (CSCs). In this study, we treated MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells with TGF-β to induce EMT and cancer stem-like features and studied whether DSF can reverse this process. We found that DSF inhibi...

The prevalence of aortic aneurysm is five times higher in men than women among the general population. Similar sexual dimorphism also exists in syndromic aortic aneurysms triggered by TGF-β signaling disorders. To understand the responsible mechanisms, we developed an animal model where inducible deletion of the type I TGF-β receptor, Alk5, specifically in smooth muscle cells (Alk5iko) causes s...

We investigated the effect of ginsenoside Rb1 on cardiac function and remodeling in heart failure (HF). Four weeks after HF induction, the rats were administrated with ginsenoside Rb1 (35 and 70 mg/kg) and losartan (4.5 mg/kg) for 8 weeks. Losartan was used as a positive control. Cardiac function was assessed by measuring hemodynamic parameters. Histological changes were analyzed by HE and Mass...

High ambient glucose exerts its injurious effects on renal cells through nonenzymatic and enzymatic pathways, including altered signal transduction and upregulation of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) system. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade, is activated in mesangial cells cultured in high glucose and in ...

Transforming growth factor betas (TGF-betas) regulate key aspects of embryonic development and major human diseases. Although Smad2, Smad3, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) have been proposed as key mediators in TGF-beta signaling, their functional specificities and interactivity in controlling transcriptional programs in different cell t...

The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is the key process that drives tumor metastasis. Accumulating evidence suggests that the deregulation of some microRNAs (miRNAs), is implicated in this process. Here, we highlight the function and molecular mechanism of miR-630 and its potential clinical application in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). First, we identified the clinical relevance of miR-...
