Objectives To investigate the effect of miR-103 on the angiogenesis of ischemic stroke rats via targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) at the molecular level. Materials and Methods Rat models had received the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) or sham operation before grouping, and cell models of oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) were performed. FITC-dextran, matrigel, and Tr...

6-((2-(Dimethylamino)ethyl)amino)-3-hydroxy-7H-indeno(2,1-c)-quinolin-7-one dihydrochloride (TAS-103) is a quinoline derivative that displays antitumor activity in murine and human tumor models. TAS-103 has been reported to be a potent topoisomerase II poison. However, other studies have indicated that cellular susceptibility to TAS-103 is not correlated with topoisomerase II expression. Becaus...
