| 1 | Neurodegeneration:An early event of diabetic retinopathy显示文摘Diabetic retinopathy(DR) has been classically considered to be a microcirculatory disease of the retina caused by the deleterious metabolic effects of hyperglycemia per se and the metabolic pathways triggered by hyperglycemia.However,retinal neurodegeneration is already present before any microcirculatory abnormalities can be detected in ophthalmoscopic examination.In other words,retinal neurodegeneration is an early event in the pathogenesis of DR which predates and participates in the microcirculatory abnormalities that occur in DR.Therefore,the study of the mechanisms that lead to neurodegeneration will be essential to identify new therapeutic targets in the early stages of DR.Elevated levels of glutamate and the overexpression of the renin-angiotensin-system play an essential role in the neurodegenerative process that occurs in diabetic retina.Among neuroprotective factors,pigment epithelial derived factor,somatostatin and erythropoietin seem to be the most relevant and these will be considered in this review.Nevertheless,it should be noted that the balance between neurotoxic and neuroprotective factors rather than levels of neurotoxic factors alone will determine the presence or absence of retinal neurodegeneration in the diabetic eye.New strategies,based on either the delivery of neuroprotective agents or the blockade of neurotoxic factors,are currently being tested in experimental models and in clinical pilot studies.Whether these novel therapies will eventually supplement or prevent the need for laser photocoagulation or vitrectomy awaits the results of additional clinical research. | Marta Villarroel Andreea Ciudin Cristina Hernández Rafael Simó | 2010 | World Journal of Diabetes2010,1,2: | 41 |

| 3 | Beneficial effects of naringenin in liver diseases: Molecular mechanisms显示文摘Liver diseases are caused by different etiological agents, mainly alcohol consumption, viruses, drug intoxication or malnutrition. Frequently, liver diseases are initiated by oxidative stress and inflammation that lead to the excessive production of extracellular matrix(ECM), followed by a progression to fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). It has been reported that some natural products display hepatoprotective properties. Naringenin is a flavonoid with antioxidant, antifibrogenic, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties that is capable of preventing liver damage caused by different agents. The main protective effects of naringenin in liver diseases are the inhibition of oxidative stress, transforming growth factor(TGF-β) pathway and the prevention of the transdifferentiation of hepatic stellate cells(HSC), leading to decreased collagen synthesis. Other effects include the inhibition of the mitogen activated protein kinase(MAPK), toll-like receptor(TLR) and TGF-β non-canonical pathways, the inhibition of which further results in a strong reduction in ECM synthesis and deposition. In addition, naringenin has shown beneficial effects on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) through the regulation of lipid metabolism, modulating the synthesis and oxidation of lipids and cholesterol. Moreover, naringenin protects from HCC, since it inhibits growth factors such as TGF-β and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), inducing apoptosis and regulating MAPK pathways. Naringenin is safe and acts by targeting multiple proteins. However, it possesses low bioavailability and high intestinal metabolism. In this regard, formulations, such as nanoparticles or liposomes, have been developed to improve naringenin bioavailability. We conclude that naringenin should be considered in the future as an important candidate in the treatment of different liver diseases. | Erika Hernández-Aquino Pablo Muriel | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,16: | 31 |
| 4 | 为 cholangiocarcinoma 的化疗: 更改显示文摘 Cholangiocarcinomas(bile duct cancers) are a heterogeneous group of malignancies arising from the epithelial cells of the intrahepatic,perihilar and extrahepatic bile ducts.Patients diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma must be evaluated by a multidisciplinary team and be treated with individualized management.First of all,it is very important to define the potential resectability of the tumor because surgery is the main therapeutic option for these patients.Overall,cholangiocarcinomas have a very poor prognosis.The 5 year survival rate is 5%-10%.In cases with a potentially curative surgery,5 year survival rates of 25%-30% are reported.Therefore,it is necessary to increase the cure rate from surgery,exploring the survival benefit of any adjuvant strategy.It is difficult to clarify the role of adjuvant treatment in localized and locally advanced cholangiocarcinomas.There are limited data and the role of adjuvant chemotherapy/chemoradiation in patients with resected biliary tract cancer is poorly defined.The most relevant studies in the adjuvant setting are one from Japan,the well known ESPAC-3 and BILCAP from the United Kingdom and a meta-analysis.We show the results of these trials.According to medical oncology guidelines,postoperative adjuvant therapy is widely recommended for all patients with intrahepatic or extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who have microscopically positive resection margins,as well as for those with a complete resection but node-positive disease.Clinical trials are ongoing.The locally advanced cholangiocarcinoma setting includes a heterogeneous mix of patients:(1) patients who have had surgery but with macroscopic residual disease;(2) patients with locally recurrent disease after potentially curative treatment;and(3) patients with locally unresectable disease at presentation.In these patients,surgery is not an option and chemoradiation therapy can prolong overall survival and provide control of symptoms due to local tumor effects.Nowadays,no neoadjuvant therapy can be considered a standard approach for the treatment of patients with cholangiocarcinoma.There are promising results and randomized trials are needed in patients with a metastatic cholangiocarcinoma.In systemic therapy,no single drug or combination has consistently increased median survival beyond the expected 8-12 mo.It is always recommended that patients enrol in clinical trials.Clinical trials have shown that the more standard chemotherapy for a first line regimen of gemcitabine plus cisplatin(or oxaliplatin as a potentially better tolerated agent) is superior to gemcitabine alone.Leucovorinmodulated 5-fluorouracil,capecitabine monotherapy or single agent gemcitabine are reasonable options for patients with a borderline performance status.After progression in patients with an adequate performance status,active regimens that could be considered include gemcitabine plus capecitabine,or erlotinib plus bevacizumab,for second line treatment. | Natalia Ramírez-Merino Santiago Ponce Aix Hernán Cortés-Funes | 2013 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2013,5,7: | 20 |
| 5 | Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes promote neurogenesis and cognitive function recovery in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease显示文摘Studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes can enhance neural plasticity and improve cognitive impairment.The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes on neurogenesis and cognitive capacity in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.Alzheimer’s disease mouse models were established by injection of beta amyloid 1?42 aggregates into dentate gyrus bilaterally.Morris water maze and novel object recognition tests were performed to evaluate mouse cognitive deficits at 14 and 28 days after administration.Afterwards,neurogenesis in the subventricular zone was determined by immunofluorescence using doublecortin and PSA-NCAM antibodies.Results showed that mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes stimulated neurogenesis in the subventricular zone and alleviated beta amyloid 1?42-induced cognitive impairment,and these effects are similar to those shown in the mesenchymal stem cells.These findings provide evidence to validate the possibility of developing cell-free therapeutic strategies for Alzheimer’s disease.All procedures and experiments were approved by Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee(CICUAL)(approval No.CICUAL 2016-011)on April 25,2016. | Edwin E.

| 7 | Serrated colorectal cancer: Molecular classification, prognosis, and response to chemotherapy显示文摘Molecular advances support the existence of an alternative pathway of colorectal carcinogenesis that is based on the hypermethylation of specific DNA regions that silences tumor suppressor genes. This alternative pathway has been called the serrated pathway due to the serrated appearance of tumors in histological analysis. New classifications for colorectal cancer(CRC) were proposed recently based on genetic profiles that show four types of molecular alterations: BRAF gene mutations, KRAS gene mutations, microsatellite instability, and hypermethylation of Cp G islands. This review summarizes what is known about the serrated pathway of CRC, including CRC molecular and clinical features, prognosis, and response to chemotherapy. | Oscar Murcia Miriam Juárez Eva Hernández-Illán Cecilia Egoavil Mar Giner-Calabuig María Rodríguez-Soler Rodrigo Jover | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,13: | 18 |
| 8 | Arrhythmogenic mechanisms in ryanodine receptor channelopathies显示文摘Ryanodine receptors(Ry Rs) are the calcium release channels of sarcoplasmic reticulum(SR) that provide the majority of calcium ions(Ca2+) necessary to induce contraction of cardiac and skeletal muscle cells.In their intracellular environment,Ry R channels are regulated by a variety of cytosolic and luminal factors so that their output signal(Ca2+) induces finely-graded cell contraction without igniting cellular processes that may lead to aberrant electrical activity(ventricular arrhythmias) or cellular remodeling.The importance of Ry R dysfunction has been recently highlighted with the demonstration that point mutations in RYR2,the gene encoding for the cardiac isoform of the Ry R(Ry R2),are associated with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia(CPVT),an arrhythmogenic syndrome characterized by the development of adrenergically-mediated ventricular tachycardia in individuals with an apparently normal heart.Here we summarize the state of the field in regards to the main arrhythmogenic mechanisms triggered by Ry R2 channels harboring mutations linked to CPVT.Most CPVT mutations characterized to date endow Ry R2 channels with a gain of function,resulting in hyperactive channels that release Ca2+ spontaneously,especially during diastole.The spontaneous Ca2+ release is extruded by the electrogenic Na+/Ca2+ exchanger,which depolarizes the external membrane(delayed afterdepolarization or DAD) and may trigger untimely action potentials.However,a rare set of CPVT mutations yield Ry R2 channels that are intrinsically hypo-active and hypo-responsive to stimuli,and it is unclear whether these channels release Ca2+ spontaneously during diastole.We discuss novel cellular mechanisms that appear more suitable to explain ventricular arrhythmias due to Ry R2 loss-of-function mutations. | ZHAO Yan-Ting VALDIVIA Carmen R.

| 9 | New gene therapy strategies for hepatic fibrosis显示文摘The liver is the largest internal organ of the body, which may suffer acute or chronic injury induced by many factors, leading to cirrhosis and hepatocarcinoma. Cirrhosis is the irreversible end result of fibrous scarring and hepatocellular regeneration, characterized by diffuse disorganization of the normal hepatic structure, regenerative nodules and fibrotic tissue. Cirrhosis is associated with a high co-morbidity and mortality without effective treatment, and much research has been aimed at developing new therapeutic strategies to guarantee recovery. Liver-based gene therapy has been used to downregulate specific genes, to block the expression of deleterious genes, to delivery therapeutic genes, to prevent allograft rejection and to augment liver regeneration. Viral and non-viral vectors have been used, with viral vectors proving to be more efficient. This review provides an overview of the main strategies used in liver-gene therapy represented by non-viral vectors, viral vectors, novel administration methods like hydrodynamic injection, hybrids of two viral vectors and blocking molecules, with the hope of translating findings from the laboratory to the patient′s bed-side. | Adriana M Salazar-Montes Luis D Hernández-Ortega Martha S Lucano-Landeros Juan Armendariz-Borunda | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,13: | 12 |
| 10 | Naringenin prevents experimental liver fibrosis by blocking TGFβ-Smad3 and JNK-Smad3 pathways显示文摘AIM To study the molecular mechanisms involved in the hepatoprotective effects of naringenin(NAR)on carbon tetrachloride(CCl4)-induced liver fibrosis.METHODS Thirty-two male Wistar rats(120-150 g)were randomly divided into four groups:(1)a control group(n=8)that received 0.7%carboxy methyl-cellulose(NAR vehicle)1 m L/daily p.o.;(2)a CCl4 group(n=8)that received 400 mg of CCl4/kg body weight i.p.3 times a week for 8 wk;(3)a CCl4+NAR(n=8)group that received 400 mg of CCl4/kg body weight i.p.3times a week for 8 wk and 100 mg of NAR/kg body weight daily for 8 wk p.o.;and(4)an NAR group(n=8)that received 100 mg of NAR/kg body weight daily for 8 wk p.o.After the experimental period,animals were sacrificed under ketamine and xylazine anesthesia.Liver damage markers such as alanine aminotransferase(ALT),alkaline phosphatase(AP),γ-glutamyl transpeptidase(γ-GTP),reduced glutathione(GSH),glycogen content,lipid peroxidation(LPO)and collagen content were measured.The enzymatic activity of glutathione peroxidase(GPx)was assessed.Liver histopathology was performed utilizing Masson’s trichrome and hematoxylin-eosin stains.Zymography assays for MMP-9 and MMP-2 were carried out.Hepatic TGF-β,α-SMA,CTGF,Col-I,MMP-13,NF-κB,IL-1,IL-10,Smad7,Smad3,p Smad3 and p JNK proteins were detected via western blot.RESULTS NAR administration prevented increases in ALT,AP,γ-GTP,and GPx enzymatic activity;depletion of GSH and glycogen;and increases in LPO and collagen produced by chronic CCl4 intoxication(P<0.05).Liver histopathology showed a decrease in collagen deposition when rats received NAR in addition to CCl4.Although zymography assays showed that CCl4 produced an increase in MMP-9 and MMP-2gelatinase activity;interestingly,NAR administration was associated with normal MMP-9 and MMP-2 activity(P<0.05).The anti-inflammatory,antinecrotic and antifibrotic effects of NAR may be attributed to its ability to prevent NF-κB activation and the subsequent production of IL-1 and IL-10(P<0.05).NAR completely prevented the increase in TGF-β,α-SMA,CTGF,Col-1,and MMP-13 proteins compared with the CCl4-treated group(P<0.05).NAR prevented Smad3phosphorylation in the linker region by JNK since this flavonoid blocked this kinase(P<0.05).CONCLUSION NAR prevents CCl4 induced liver inflammation,necrosis and fibrosis,due to its antioxidant capacity as a free radical inhibitor and by inhibiting the NF-κB,TGF-β-Smad3 and JNK-Smad3 pathways. | Erika Hernández-Aquino Natanael Zarco Sael Casas-Grajales Erika Ramos-Tovar Rosa E Flores-Beltrán Jonathan Arauz Mineko Shibayama Liliana Favari Víctor Tsutsumi José Segovia Pablo Muriel | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,24: | 10 |
| 11 | From leaf to whole-plant water use efficiency(WUE)in complex canopies:Limitations of leaf WUE as a selection target显示文摘Plant water use efficiency(WUE) is becoming a key issue in semiarid areas, where crop production relies on the use of large volumes of water. Improving WUE is necessary for securing environmental sustainability of food production in these areas. Given that climate change predictions include increases in temperature and drought in semiarid regions,improving crop WUE is mandatory for global food production. WUE is commonly measured at the leaf level, because portable equipment for measuring leaf gas exchange rates facilitates the simultaneous measurement of photosynthesis and transpiration. However,when those measurements are compared with daily integrals or whole-plant estimates of WUE, the two sometimes do not agree. Scaling up from single-leaf to whole-plant WUE was tested in grapevines in different experiments by comparison of daily integrals of instantaneous water use efficiency [ratio between CO2assimilation(AN) and transpiration(E); AN/E] with midday AN/E measurements, showing a low correlation, being worse with increasing water stress. We sought to evaluate the importance of spatial and temporal variation in carbon and water balances at the leaf and plant levels. The leaf position(governing average light interception) in the canopy showed a marked effect on instantaneous and daily integrals of leaf WUE. Night transpiration and respiration rates were also evaluated, as well as respiration contributions to total carbon balance. Two main components were identified as filling the gap between leaf and whole plant WUE: the large effect of leaf position on daily carbon gain and water loss and the large flux of carbon losses by dark respiration. These results show that WUE evaluation among genotypes or treatments needs to be revised. | Hipólito Medrano Magdalena Tomás Sebastià Martorell aume Flexas Esther Hernández Joan Rosselló Alicia Pou José-Mariano Escalona Josefina Bota | 2015 | The Crop Journal2015,3,3: | 9 |
| 12 | Post-traumatic hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm treated with endovascular embolization and thrombin injection显示文摘Post-traumatic hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is unc-ommon,appearing in approximately 1%of hepatic trauma cases.Most are extrahepatic(80%)and have a late onset.Although they are usually asymptomatic, they should always be treated becasue of the high risk of complications,especially breakage.Currently the treatment of choice is endovascular embolization with coils or the exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm using other intravascular devices.Recently there have been accounts of a treatment that combines embolization with coils and image-guided percutaneous human thrombin injection.We present a case of post-traumatichepatic artery pseudoaneurysm that was successfully treated using this combined technique. | Lloret Esta Francisco López Conesa Asunción Capel Alemán Antonio Robles Campos Ricardo Reus Pintado Manuel Marín Hernández Caridad | 2010 | World Journal of Hepatology2010,2,2: | 9 |

| 14 | Measurement and analysis of soil nitrogen and organic matter content using near-infrared spectroscopy techniques显示文摘Near infrared reflectance (NIR) spectroscopy is as a rapid, convenient and simple nondestructive technique useful for quantifying several soil properties. This method was used to estimate nitrogen (N) and organic matter (OM) content in a soil of Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou County. A total of 125 soil samples were taken from the field. Ninety-five samples spectra were used during the calibration and cross validation stage. Thirty samples spectra were used to predict N and OM concentration. NIR spectra of these samples were correlated using partial least square regression. The regression coefficients between measured and predicted values of N and OM was 0.92 and 0.93, and SEP (standard error of prediction) were 3.28 and 0.06, respectively, which showed that NIR method had potential to accurately predict these constituents in this soil. The results showed that NIR spec- troscopy could be a good tool for precision farming application. | 何勇 宋海燕 PEREIRA Annia García GóMEZ Antihus Hernández | 2005 | Journal of Zhejiang University-Science B(Biomedicine & Biotechnology)2005,6,11: | 8 |
| 15 | Protective effect of some vitamins against the toxic action of ethanol on liver regeneration induced by partial hepatectomy in rats显示文摘AIM: To investigate the effects of vitamins (A, C and E) on liver injury induced by ethanol administration during liver regeneration in rats. METHODS: Male Wistar rats subjected to 70% partial hepatectomy were divided into five groups (groups 1-5). During the experiment, animals of Group 1 drank only water. The other four groups (2-5) drank 30 mL of ethanol/L of water. Group 3 additionally received vitamin A, those of group 4 vitamin C and those of group 5 received vitamin E. Subsequently serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), albumin and bilirubin were measured colorimetrically. Lipid peroxidation (thiobarbituric-acid reactive substances, TBARS) both in plasma and liver was measured, as well as liver mass gain assessment and total DNA. RESULTS: Compared with sham group, serum AST and ALT increased significantly under ethanol treatment (43% and 93%, respectively, with P < 0.05). Vitamin C and vitamin E treatment attenuated the ethanol-induced increases in ALT and AST activity. Ethanol treatment also decreased serum albumin concentration compared to sham group (3.1 ± 0.4 g/dL vs 4.5 ± 0.2 g/dL; P < 0.05). During liver regeneration vitamins C and E significantly ameliorated liver injury for ethanol administration in hepatic lipid peroxidation (4.92 nmol/mg and 4.25 nmol/mg vs 14.78 nmol/mg, respectively, with P < 0.05). In association with hepatic injury, ethanol administration caused a significant increase in both hepatic and plasma lipid peroxidation. Vitamins (C and E) treatment attenuated hepatic and plasma lipid peroxidation. CONCLUSION: Vitamins C and E protect against liver injury and dysfunction, attenuate lipid peroxidation, and thus appear to be significantly more effective than vitamin A against ethanol-mediated toxic effects during liver regeneration. | Carlett Ramírez-Farías Eduardo Madrigal-Santillán José Gutiérrez-Salinas Nidia Rodríguez-Sánchez Maricela Martínez-Cruz Ilse Valle-Jones Ingrid Gramlich-Martínez Alejandra Hernández-Ceruelos José A Morales-González | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,6: | 8 |

| 17 | Nrf2 and Snail-1 in the prevention of experimental liver fibrosis by caffeine显示文摘AIM:To determine the molecular mechanisms involved in experimental hepatic fibrosis prevention by caffeine(CFA).METHODS:Liver fibrosis was induced in Wistar rats by intraperitoneal thioacetamide or bile duct ligation and they were concomitantly treated with CFA(15 mg/kg per day).Fibrosis and inflammatory cell infiltrate were evaluated and classified by Knodell index.Inflammatory infiltrate was quantified by immunohistochemistry(anti-CD11b).Gene expression was analyzed by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction for collagenⅠ?(Col-1),connective tissue growth factor(CTGF),transforming growth factorβ1(TGF-β1),tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α),interleukin-1(IL-1),IL-6,superoxide dismutase(SOD)and catalase(CAT).Activation of Nrf2 and Snail-1 was analyzed by Westernblot.TNF-αexpression was proved by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay,CAT activity was performed by zymography.RESULTS:CFA treatment diminished fibrosis index in treated animals.The Knodell index showed both lower fibrosis and necroinflammation.Expression of profibrogenic genes CTGF,Col-1 and TGF-β1 and proinflammatory genes TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1 was substantially diminished with CFA treatment with less CD11b positive areas.Significantly lower values of transcriptional factor Snail-1 were detected in CFA treated rats compared with cirrhotic rats without treatment;in contrast Nrf2was increased in the presence of CFA.Expression of SOD and CAT was greater in animals treated with CFA showing a strong correlation between mRNA expression and enzyme activity.CONCLUSION:Our results suggest that CFA inhibits the transcriptional factor Snail-1,down-regulating profibrogenic genes,and activates Nrf2 inducing antioxidant enzymes system,preventing inflammation and fibrosis. | Daniela Gordillo-Bastidas Edén Oceguera-Contreras Adriana Salazar-Montes Jaime González-Cuevas Luis Daniel Hernández-Ortega Juan Armendáriz-Borunda | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,47: | 7 |
| 18 | Epidermal stem cells and skin tissue engineering in hair follicle regeneration显示文摘The reconstitution of a fully organized and functional hair follicle from dissociated cells propagated under defined tissue culture conditions is a challenge stillpending in tissue engineering. The loss of hair follicles caused by injuries or pathologies such as alopecia not only affects the patients' psychological well-being, but also endangers certain inherent functions of the skin. It is then of great interest to find different strategies aiming to regenerate or neogenerate the hair follicle under conditions proper of an adult individual. Based upon current knowledge on the epithelial and dermal cells and their interactions during the embryonic hair generation and adult hair cycling, many researchers have tried to obtain mature hair follicles using different strategies and approaches depending on the causes of hair loss. This review summarizes current advances in the different experimental strategies to regenerate or neogenerate hair follicles, with emphasis on those involving neogenesis of hair follicles in adult individuals using isolated cells and tissue engineering. Most of these experiments were performed using rodent cells, particularly from embryonic or newborn origin. However, no successful strategy to generate human hair follicles from adult cells has yet been reported. This review identifies several issues that should be considered to achieve this objective. Perhaps the most important challenge is to provide threedimensional culture conditions mimicking the structure of living tissue. Improving culture conditions that allow the expansion of specific cells while protecting their inductive properties, as well as methods for selecting populations of epithelial stem cells, should give us the necessary tools to overcome the difficulties that constrain human hair follicle neogenesis. An analysis of patent trends shows that the number of patent applications aimed at hair follicle regeneration and neogenesis has been increasing during the last decade. This field is attractive not only to academic researchers but also to the companies that own almost half of the patents in this field. | María Eugenia Balaná Hernán Eduardo Charreau Gustavo Jose Leirós | 2015 | World Journal of Stem Cells2015,7,4: | 7 |
| 19 | A pilot study of the modulation of sirtuins on arylamine N-acetyltransferase 1 and 2 enzymatic activity显示文摘Arylamine N-acetyltransferase(NAT; E.C. 2.3.1.5) enzymes are responsible for the biotransformation of several arylamine and hydrazine drugs by acetylation. In this process, the acetyl group transferred to the acceptor substrate produces NAT deacetylation and, in consequence, it is susceptible of degradation. Sirtuins are protein deacetylases, dependent on nicotine adenine dinucleotide,which perform post-translational modifications on cytosolic proteins. To explore possible sirtuin participation in the enzymatic activity of arylamine NATs, the expression levels of NAT1, NAT2,SIRT1 and SIRT6 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC) from healthy subjects were examined by flow cytometry and Western blot. The in situ activity of the sirtuins on NAT enzymatic activity was analyzed by HPLC, in the presence or absence of an agonist(resveratrol) and inhibitor(nicotinamide) of sirtuins. We detected a higher percentage of positive cells for NAT2 in comparison with NAT1, and higher numbers of SIRT1t cells compared to SIRT6 in lymphocytes. In situ NAT2 activity in the presence of NAM inhibitors was higher than in the presence of its substrate, but not in the presence ofresveratrol. In contrast, the activity of NAT1 was not affected by sirtuins. These results showed that NAT2 activity might be modified by sirtuins. | Eneida Turiján-Espinoza Rául Alejandro Salazar-González Edith Elena Uresti-Rivera Gloria Estela Hernández-Hernández Montserrat Ortega-Juárez Rosa Milán Diana Portales-Pérez | 2018 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2018,8,2: | 7 |
| 20 | Gut Microbiota in Metabolic-associated Fatty Liver Disease and in Other Chronic Metabolic Diseases显示文摘The gut microbiome plays a key role in the health-disease balance in the human body.Although its composition is unique for each person and tends to remain stable throughout lifetime,it has been shown that certain bacterial patterns may be determining factors in the onset of certain chronic metabolic diseases,such as type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM),obesity,metabolic-associated fatty liver disease(MAFLD),and metabolic syndrome.The gut-liver axis embodies the close relationship between the gut and the liver;disturbance of the normal gut microbiota,also known as dysbiosis,may lead to a cascade of mechanisms that modify the epithelial properties and facilitate bacterial translocation.Regulation of gut microbiota is fundamental to maintaining gut integrity,as well as the bile acids composition.In the present review,we summarize the current knowledge regarding the microbiota,bile acids composition and their association with MAFLD,obesity,T2DM and metabolic syndrome. | Winston Hernández-Ceballos Jacqueline Cordova-Gallardo Nahum Mendez-Sanchez | 2021 | Journal of Clinical and Translational Hepatology2021,9,2: | 6 |
