AIMS To identify the clinical and functional association of miR-214/199a/199a* cluster in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to clarify the mechanism of miR-214. METHODS Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional regression analyses were used to determine the association of miR-214/199a/199a* cluster levels with the survival of HCC patients. The role of miR-214 in regulating HCC cell proliferati...

MicroRNA-214(miR-214) has been recently reported to regulate angiogenesis and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) differentiation. However, very little is known about its functional role in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) differentiation from ESCs. In the present study, we assessed the hypothesis that miR-214 and its target genes play an important role in VSMCs differentiation. Murine ESCs were se...

AIMS Angiogenesis is a critical component of many pathological conditions in adult tissues and is essential for embryonic development. MicroRNAs are indispensable for normal vascular development, but their exact role in regulating angiogenesis remains unresolved. Previously, we have observed that miR-214 is differentially expressed in compensatory arteriogenesis. Here, we investigated the poten...

In this contribution, a series of isothermal compression tests for the 825 nickel-based alloy were performed using Gleeble-3800 computer-controlled thermomechanical simulator at temperature range 850 °C to 1150 and strain rate 0.14 s−1 2.72 s−1. The hot deformation equation is derived from piecewise model based on theory work hardening-dynamic recovery dynamic recrystallization (DRX), respectiv...

This study evaluated the association between masticatory function, diet, and digestive system problems in 59 Class II patients 5 years after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy. Dietary intake data were recorded in 4-day diet diaries and analyzed for overall diet quality (Healthy Eating Index) and selected dietary components. Masticatory function was assessed through measurements of masticatory ...

The role of microRNA-214-3p (miR-214-3p) in cardiac hypertrophy was not well illustrated. The present study aimed to investigate the expression and potential target of miR-214-3p in angiotensin II (Ang-II)-induced mouse cardiac hypertrophy. In mice with either Ang-II infusion or transverse aortic constriction (TAC) model, miR-214-3p expression was markedly decreased in the hypertrophic myocardi...
