Abstract Introduction As indications for sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors treatment are expanding, more older adults become candidates treatment. However, data regarding the treatment's safety profile in population limited. Methods A retrospective, pharmacovigilance study of FDA's global database reports (7/1/2014–6/30/2021). To assess reporting pre-specified adverse events fo...

Linc-RoR was originally identified to be a regulator for induced pluripotent stem cells in humans and it has also been implicated in tumorigenesis. However, the underlying mechanism of Linc-RoR-mediated gene expression in cancer is poorly understood. The present study demonstrates that Linc-RoR plays an oncogenic role in part through regulation of c-Myc expression. Linc-RoR knockout (KO) suppre...

Objective(s): Similar characteristics of molecular pathways between cellular reprogramming events and tumorigenesis have been accentuated in recent years. Reprogramming-related transcription factors, also known as Yamanaka factors (OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC), are also well-known oncogenes promoting cancer initiation, progression, and cellular transformation into cancer stem cells. Long non-co...

The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is involved in many different types of cellular behavior, including liver fibrosis. In this report, we studied a novel function of RAR-related orphan receptor gamma (ROR-γ) in hepatocyte EMT during liver fibrosis. To induce EMT in vitro, primary hepatocytes and FL83B cells were treated with TGF-β1. Expression of ROR-γ was analyzed by Western blot in t...

BACKGROUND Novel therapies tailored to the molecular composition of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) are needed to improve patient survival. We investigated the regulatory network of long intergenic non-protein coding RNA, regulator of reprogramming (linc-ROR) and sex-determining region Y-box 9 (SOX9), and their therapeutic relevance in ESCC. METHODS Linc-ROR and SOX9 expression were...

Background and objective In an attempt to discover a new biomarker for early diagnosis and prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), the regulation mechanism of large intergenic non-coding RNA-regulator of reprogramming (lincRNA-ROR) as a microRNA (miRNA) sponge was studied. Patients and methods ROR expression in 91 pairs of ESCC tissue samples and matched adjacent tissues was q...

Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 309: E105–E114, 2015. First published May 26, 2015; doi:10.1152/ajpendo.00518.2014.—Circadian rhythms have an essential role in feeding behavior and metabolism. ROR is a nuclear...

Ror alpha is an orphan nuclear receptor. In homozygous staggerer mutant mice (Ror alpha(sg/sg)), a deletion within the Ror alpha gene leads to an overexpression of inflammatory cytokines. Because inflammation and hypoxia are 2 key stimuli of ischemia-induced angiogenesis, we studied the role of Ror alpha in this setting. Ischemia was induced by ligation of the right femoral artery in C57BL/6 Ro...

lncRNAs have emerged as key regulators of tumor development and progression. ROR is a typical lncRNA that plays important regulatory roles in the pathogenesis and progression of tumors. Nevertheless, current understanding of the involvement of ROR in pancreatic adenocarcinoma tumorigenesis remains limited. In this study, we measured ROR in 61 paired cancerous and noncancerous tissue samples by ...

This paper describes the cloning and characterisation of two retinoid-related orphan receptor (ROR)-γ homologues (ROR-γa1 and -γa2) in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The coding region predicted for both homologues consists of 1410 base pairs (bp), which translate into two 469 amino acid (aa) proteins. The trout ROR-γs revealed a high conservation of both DNA- and ligand-binding domains (f...
