Objective(s): Atorvastatin is a cholesterol-lowering agent capable of inhibiting 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase. Recent studies have demonstrated new facets of atorvastatin, such as antioxidant and anti-fibrotic properties. We investigated the effect of atorvastatin on hepatic injury via the measurement of the antioxidant capacity and protein expressio...

Objective(s): The study explored the neuroprotective role of Kalirin-7 (Kal-7) in Neuro-2A cells after oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R) treatment.Materials and Methods: The study used an OGD/R model of mouse Neuro-2A neuroblastoma cells in vitro. Cells were transfected with pCAGGS-Kal-7 to up-regulating kal-7. Then cell proliferation and apoptosis were respectively analyzed by...

Angiogenesis and metastasis are well recognized as processes fundamental to the development of malignancy. Both processes involve the coordination of multiple cellular and chemical activities through myriad signaling networks, providing a mass of potential targets for therapeutic intervention. This review will focus on one master regulator of cell motility, RAC1, and the existing data with rega...

Chemoresistance is one of the main factors treatment failure cervical cancer (CC). Here, we intended to discover role and mechanism miR-509-5p in paclitaxel chemoresistance CC cells. RT-PCR was conducted verify miR-509-3p expression. HCC94 C-33A paclitaxel-resistant cell models were constructed. Additionally, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay flow cytometr...

Ultrasonic Patches In article number 2100785 by Xue Feng and co-workers, a flexible ultrasonic patch is designed fabricated for chronic wound treatment. While the applied to damaged area of wound, it makes conversion Rac1-GDP Rac1-GTP, which can accelerate healing wound. The soft, light completely conform treatment treat effectively.

Rac1 is a small GTPase and plays key roles in multiple cellular processes including the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, whether Rac1 activation during myocardial ischaemia and reperfusion (I/R) contributes to arrhythmogenesis is not fully understood. We aimed to study the effects of Rac1 inhibition on store overload-induced Ca(2+) release (SOICR) and ventricular arrhythmia...
