Objective(s): Impairment of nerve cells of brain induced by hypoxia results in energy-deprivation and dysfunction, which accompanies with neurons apoptosis. Improving function of nerve cells is important for treating cerebral anoxia. This study aimed to investigate the role of Quercetin (Quer) in hypoxia-induced injury of pheochromocytoma (PC-12) cells. Materials and Methods: PC-12 cells were c...

Abstract Aberrant Wnt signaling drives a number of cancers through regulation diverse downstream pathways. Wnt/?-catenin achieves this in part by increasing the expression proto-oncogenes such as MYC and cyclins. However, global assessment Wnt-regulated transcriptome vivo genetically distinct demonstrates that suppresses many genes it activates. In study, we examined set are upregulated upon in...

Esophageal cancer (EC) is the sixth main cause of cancer death worldwide. Important genes associated with esophageal cancer include FOXO3, AKT, and GSK3β. Excessive FOXO3 expression inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells. The expression of AKT is involved in controlling cell growth in tumors. GSK3β activity is higher in cancer tissues. Given the effective role of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in...

Abstract Genotoxic colibactin-producing pks + Escherichia coli induce DNA double-strand breaks, mutations, and promote tumor development in mouse models of colorectal cancer (CRC). Colibactin’s distinct mutational signature is reflected human CRC, suggesting a causal link. Here, we investigate its transformation potential using organoids from primary murine colon epithelial cells. Organoids rec...

Abstract Wntless (WLS), an evolutionarily conserved multi-pass transmembrane protein, is essential for secretion of Wnt proteins. Wnt-triggered signaling pathways control many crucial life events, whereas aberrant tightly associated with human diseases including cancers. Here, we report the cryo-EM structure WLS in complex Wnt3a, most widely studied Wnt, at 2.2 Å resolution. The domain bears a ...

Hypoxic exercise exerts a significant effect on body weight loss and fat reduction. Methods: In the present study, we constructed an obese rat model divided rats into following groups: Normoxic quiet (C), (H), Exercise (CE), (HE). We employed isobaric tags for relative absolute quantification (iTRAQ) using proteomic technology to screen differentially expressed proteins in four groups. Addition...

Abnormal inactivation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is involved in skin diseases like androgenetic alopecia, vitiligo and canities, but small-molecule activators are rarely described. In this study, we investigated stimulatory effects escin on canonical cultured human dermal papilla cells (hDPCs). Escin stimulated signaling, resulting increased β-catenin lymphoid enhancer-binding facto...
