Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis was applied to examine the expression of miR-573 and Bax in idiopathic scoliosis tissues and IDD tissues.
In this study, we used streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type I diabetes C57 mice as animal models, and we detected the expression of miR-34c and autophagic intensity in trigeminal ganglion (TG) tissue.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of high glucose-induced ROS on the activation of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1/phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway in a normal rat kidney tubular epithelial cell line (NRK-52E) and rats with type 1 diabetes.
Mice were subjected to diabetes mellitus either by streptozotocin injections (type 1 diabetes mellitus model) or by crossing into mice carrying a leptin receptor mutation (db/db; type 2 diabetes mellitus model) and monitored for remodeling and cardiac function.
The NP cells isolated from degenerative intervertebral disc (IVD) were introduced with a series of mimic, inhibitor, or AICAR to explore the functional role of miR-143-5p in IDD and to characterize the relationship between miR-143-5p and eEF2.
The objective of this work was to study the operation of MCU and Ca<sup>2+</sup>-dependent mitochondrial permeabilization in the liver cells of Sprague-Dawley rats under the streptozotocin-induced type I diabetes.
We examined contributions of inflammatory molecules lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1), stress-activated kinases (c-Jun N-terminal kinase [JNK] and p38), arginase, and reactive oxygen species to coronary arteriolar dysfunction in a porcine model of type 1 diabetes.
Altogether, these findings suggest that in T1D mice LTB4/BLT1 is involved in the fat loss, hyperlipidemia, and increased macrophage lipid uptake and metabolism with an important involvement of mitochondrial uncoupling activity.
In this study, immunohistochemistry was used to analyze the expression of seven anti-microbial peptides (Defensin α1, α4, β1-4 and Cathelicidin) and two secretory proteins with known antimicrobial properties (REG3A and GP2) in pancreatic and duodenal biopsies from 10 non-diabetic organ donors and one organ donor that died at onset of T1D.
The dietary education trial in carbohydrate counting (DIET-CARB Study): study protocol for a randomised, parallel, open-label, intervention study comparing different approaches to dietary self-management in patients with type 1 diabetes.
Taken together with our prior observations, these data establish a role of increased GSK3β activity in the pathogenesis of parasympathetic dysfunction in type 1 diabetes via the regulation of IKACh and GIRK1/4 expression.
In this study, immunohistochemistry was used to analyze the expression of seven anti-microbial peptides (Defensin α1, α4, β1-4 and Cathelicidin) and two secretory proteins with known antimicrobial properties (REG3A and GP2) in pancreatic and duodenal biopsies from 10 non-diabetic organ donors and one organ donor that died at onset of T1D.
From a human CD4 Tconv/Treg cell genome wide analysis we identified peptidase inhibitor 16 (PI16) as a CD4 subset biomarker and we now show detailed analysis of its distribution, phenotype and links to Treg function in type 1 diabetes.
Together, these findings provide insight into how the inflammation-dependent downregulation of miR-194-5p contributes to the pathogenesis of IDD, which may aid in the development of new therapeutic approaches for IDD by directly targeting miR-194-5p or CUL4A and CUL4B.
Compared to the control, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), protein levels of cytochrome C, cleaved caspase-8 and caspase-3, myocardial damage and impeded left ventricular (LV) function were observed in the hearts of all treated groups and maximally in T1DM + CO-HFD-treated rats. mRNA of all NFAT members (NFAT1-4) were not affected by any treatment.
In the present study, the expression pattern of miR-21, miR-155 and miR-338 were analyzed in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of T1D patients compared to healthy controls.
An increased area of SST staining was also observed ex vivo in pancreas sections recovered at autopsy from donors with type 1 diabetes (T1D) or T2D (9.3% for T1D and 3% for T2D, respectively compared with 1% in controls).
