We explore the relationship between mid-infrared (mid-IR) and CO rotational line emission from massive star-forming galaxies, which is one of tightest scalings in local universe. assemble a large set unresolved moderately ($\sim 1$ kpc) spatially resolved measurements (1-0) (2-1) intensity, $I_{\rm CO}$, mid-IR MIR}$, at 8, 12, 22, 24$\mu$m. The CO}$ vs. MIR}$ reasonably described by power law ...

Introduction: Klotho and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) are two proteins that modulate inflammatory pathways. We investigated the association between circulating klotho and DPP4 activity and their relationship with inflammatory cytokines, miR-29a, and miR-195 in Alzheimer disease (AD). Methods: This study was conducted on 16 AD patients and 16 healthy age-matched controls. Plasma levels of tumo...

Several recent studies of vertebrate adaptation to environmental stress have suggested roles for microRNAs (miRNAs) in regulating global suppression of protein synthesis and/or restructuring protein expression patterns. The present study is the first to characterize stress-responsive alterations in the expression of miRNAs during natural freezing or anoxia exposures in an invertebrate species, ...

BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miR) are small, posttranscriptional regulators, expressed as part of a longer primary transcript, following which they undergo nuclear and cytoplasmic processing by Drosha and Dicer, respectively, to form the functional mature ~20mer that gets incorporated into the silencing complex. Others and we have shown that mature miR-1 levels decrease with pressure-induced cardiac h...

miR-124-1 is a tumour suppressor microRNA (miR). Epigenetic deregulation of miRs is implicated in carcinogenesis. Promoter DNA methylation and histone modification of miR-124-1 was studied in 5 normal marrow controls, 4 lymphoma, 8 multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines, 230 diagnostic primary samples of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), chronic myeloid leukaemia (CM...

Abstract Background and Aims Hyperuricemia (HN) is a threat for the occurrence of renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF). Dysfunctional histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) elicit damage. This study aimed to explore role HDAC3 in HN-induced RIF from microRNA-19b-3p/splicing factor 3b subunit (miR-19b-3p/SF3B3) axis. Method 1. The HN model was established on rats induce by oral administration adenine potass...

BACKGROUND Increasing evidence suggests that miR-126 participates in the glucose homeostasis through its target molecules. Although bioinformatics analysis predicts that miR-126 can bind with the insulin receptor substrate-2(IRS-2) mRNA at the "seed sequence", but there are still no definitely reports to support it. In this study, we provided evidences that IRS-2 was one of the target genes of ...

MicroRNAs (miR) are small noncoding RNA molecules that have recently emerged as critical regulators of gene expression and are often deregulated in cancer. In particular, miRs encoded by the miR-15a, miR-16-1 cluster seem to act as tumor suppressors. Here, we evidence that the miR-15a, miR-16-1 cluster and related miR-15b, miR-16-2 cluster comprise miRs regulated by E2F1, a pivotal transcriptio...

Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) enzyme plays a critical role in metabolizing the excess heme generated during hemolysis. Our previous studies suggested that during intravascular hemolysis the expression of HO-1 protein is not sufficient to reduce the oxidative burden of free heme in the vasculature. This led us to hypothesize that a post-translational mechanism of control exists for HO-1 expression. Mi...
