| 1 | Diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of 2019 novel coronavirus infection in children: experts' consensus statement显示文摘Since the outbreak of 2019 novel coronavirus infection (2019-nCoV) in Wuhan City,China,by January 30,2020,a total of 9692 confirmed cases and 15,238 suspected cases have been reported around 31 provinces or cities in China.Among the confirmed cases,1527 were severe cases,171 had recovered and been discharged at home,and 213 died.And among these cases,a total of 28 children aged from 1 month to 17 years have been reported in China.For standardizing prevention and management of 2019-nCoV infections in children,we called up an experts' committee to formulate this experts' consensus statement.This statement is based on the Novel Coronavirus Infection Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Standards (the fourth edition) (National Health Committee) and other previous diagnosis and treatment strategies for pediatric virus infections.The present consensus statement summarizes current strategies on diagnosis,treatment,and prevention of 2019-nCoV infection in children. | Kunling Shen Yonghong Yang Tianyou Wang Dongchi Zhao Yi Jiang Runming Jin Yuejie Zheng Baoping Xu Zhengde Xie Likai Lin Yunxiao Shang Xiaoxia Lu Sainan Shu Yan Bai Jikui Deng Min Lu Leping Ye Xuefeng Wang Yongyan Wang Liwei Gao | 2020 | World Journal of Pediatrics2020,16,3: | 56 |
| 2 | Transforming growth factor-β in stem cells and tissue homeostasis显示文摘TGF-β 1–3 are unique multi-functional growth factors that are only expressed in mammals, and mainly secreted and stored as a latent complex in the extracellular matrix(ECM). The biological functions of TGF-β in adults can only be delivered after ligand activation, mostly in response to environmental perturbations. Although involved in multiple biological and pathological processes of the human body, the exact roles of TGF-β in maintaining stem cells and tissue homeostasis have not been well-documented until recent advances, which delineate their functions in a given context. Our recent findings, along with data reported by others, have clearly shown that temporal and spatial activation of TGF-β is involved in the recruitment of stem/progenitor cell participation in tissue regeneration/remodeling process, whereas sustained abnormalities in TGF-β ligand activation, regardless of genetic or environmental origin, will inevitably disrupt the normal physiology and lead to pathobiology of major diseases. Modulation of TGF-β signaling with different approaches has proven effective pre-clinically in the treatment of multiple pathologies such as sclerosis/fibrosis, tumor metastasis, osteoarthritis, and immune disorders. Thus, further elucidation of the mechanisms by which TGF-β is activated in different tissues/organs and how targeted cells respond in a context-dependent way can likely be translated with clinical benefits in the management of a broad range of diseases with the involvement of TGF-β. | Xin Xu Liwei Zheng Quan Yuan Gehua Zhen Janet L.Crane Xuedong Zhou Xu Cao | 2018 | Bone Research2018,6,1: | 22 |
| 3 | Intestinal microbiota: a potential target for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis显示文摘Postmenopausal osteoporosis(PMO) is a prevalent metabolic bone disease characterized by bone loss and structural destruction, which increases the risk of fracture in postmenopausal women. Owing to the high morbidity and serious complications of PMO, many efforts have been devoted to its prophylaxis and treatment. The intestinal microbiota is the complex community of microorganisms colonizing the gastrointestinal tract. Probiotics, which are dietary or medical supplements consisting of beneficial intestinal bacteria, work in concert with endogenous intestinal microorganisms to maintain host health. Recent studies have revealed that bone loss in PMO is closely related to host immunity, which is influenced by the intestinal microbiota. The curative effects of probiotics on metabolic bone diseases have also been demonstrated. The effects of the intestinal microbiota on bone metabolism suggest a promising target for PMO management.This review seeks to summarize the critical effects of the intestinal microbiota and probiotics on PMO, with a focus on the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenic relationship between bacteria and host, and to define the possible treatment options. | Xin Xu Xiaoyue Jia Longyi Mo Chengcheng Liu Liwei Zheng Quan Yuan Xuedong Zhou | 2017 | Bone Research2017,5,3: | 20 |
| 4 | Application of next-generation sequencing technology to precision medicine in cancer: joint consensus of the Tumor Biomarker Committee of the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology显示文摘Next-generation sequencing(NGS) technology is capable of sequencing millions or billions of DNA molecules simultaneously.Therefore, it represents a promising tool for the analysis of molecular targets for the initial diagnosis of disease, monitoring of disease progression, and identifying the mechanism of drug resistance. On behalf of the Tumor Biomarker Committee of the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology(CSCO) and the China Actionable Genome Consortium(CAGC), the present expert group hereby proposes advisory guidelines on clinical applications of NGS technology for the analysis of cancer driver genes for precision cancer therapy. This group comprises an assembly of laboratory cancer geneticists, clinical oncologists, bioinformaticians,pathologists, and other professionals. After multiple rounds of discussions and revisions, the expert group has reached a preliminary consensus on the need of NGS in clinical diagnosis, its regulation, and compliance standards in clinical sample collection. Moreover, it has prepared NGS criteria, the sequencing standard operation procedure(SOP), data analysis, report, and NGS platform certification and validation. | Xuchao Zhang Zhiyong Liang Shengyue Wang Shun Lu Yong Song Ying Cheng Jianming Ying Weiping Liu Yingyong Hou Yangqiu Li Yi Liu Jun Hou Xiufeng Liu Jianyong Shao Yanhong Tai Zheng Wang Li Fu Hui Li Xiaojun Zhou Hua Bai Mengzhao Wang You Lu Jinji Yang Wenzhao Zhong Qing Zhou Xuening Yang Jie Wang Cheng Huang Xiaoqing Liu Xiaoyan Zhou Shirong Zhang Hongxia Tian Yu Chen Ruibao Ren Ning Liao Chunyan Wu Zhongzheng Zhu Hongming Pan Yanhong Gu Liwei Wang Yunpeng Liu Suzhan Zhang Tianshu Liu Gong Chen Zhimin Shao Binghe Xu Qingyuan Zhang Ruihua Xu Lin Shen Yilong Wu | 2019 | Cancer Biology & Medicine2019,16,1: | 14 |
| 5 | Dysregulation of the miR-146a-Smad4 axis impairs osteogenesis of bone mesenchymal stem cells under inflammation显示文摘Osteoporosis is a common disease that affects patient quality of life, especially among the elderly population.Although inflammation contributes significantly to osteoporosis, the underlying mechanism is unclear. In this study, we found that tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α, an inflammatory environment mimic, inhibits osteogenesis of bone mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs), induces mi R-146 a and decreases Smad4. Moreover,overexpression of mi R-146 a inhibited the osteogenic ability of BMSCs, whereas blocking mi R-146 a partially rescued the osteogenesis deficiency under TNF-α treatment. Molecularly, mi R-146 a decreased Smad4 expression at the protein level by binding to an element located in the Smad4 30-untranslated region, and restoration of Smad4 reversed the inhibitory effects of mi R-146 a on osteogenesis. Together, our results showed that the inflammatory environment mimic TNF-α inhibits osteogenesis via upregulation of mi R-146 a and subsequent downregulation of Smad4, thus suggesting that therapeutic manipulation of mi R-146 a maybe a potential strategy to improve osteogenesis in the context of osteoporosis. | Wei Kuang Liwei Zheng Xin Xu Yao Lin Jiong Lin Jiahua Wu Jiali Tan | 2017 | Bone Research2017,5,4: | 13 |
| 6 | Ciliary parathyroid hormone signaling activates transforming growth factor-βto maintain intervertebral disc homeostasis during aging显示文摘Degenerative disc disease(DDD) is associated with intervertebral disc degeneration of spinal instability. Here, we report that the cilia of nucleus pulposus(NP) cells mediate mechanotransduction to maintain anabolic activity in the discs. We found that mechanical stress promotes transport of parathyroid hormone 1 receptor(PTH1 R) to the cilia and enhances parathyroid hormone(PTH) signaling in NP cells. PTH induces transcription of integrin α_vβ_6 to activate the transforming growth factor(TGF)-β-connective tissue growth factor(CCN2)-matrix proteins signaling cascade. Intermittent injection of PTH(iPTH) effectively attenuates disc degeneration of aged mice by direct signaling through NP cells, specifically improving intervertebral disc height and volume by increasing levels of TGF-β activity, CCN2, and aggrecan. PTH1 R is expressed in both mouse and human NP cells. Importantly,knockout PTH1 R or cilia in the NP cells results in significant disc degeneration and blunts the effect of PTH on attenuation of aged discs. Thus, mechanical stress-induced transport of PTH1 R to the cilia enhances PTH signaling, which helps maintain intervertebral disc homeostasis, particularly during aging, indicating therapeutic potential of iPTH for DDD. | Liwei Zheng Yong Cao Shuangfei Ni Huabin Qi Zemin Ling Xin Xu Xuenong Zou Tianding Wu Ruoxian Deng Bo Hu Bo Gao Hao Chen Yusheng Li Jianxi Zhu Francis Tintani Shadpour Demehri Amit Jain Khaled M.Kebaish Shenghui Liao Cheryle A.Séguin Janet L.Crane Mei Wan Hongbin Lu Paul D.Sponseller Lee H.RileyIII Xuedong Zhou Jianzhong Hu Xu Cao | 2018 | Bone Research2018,6,3: | 13 |
| 7 | Aberrant activation of latent transforming growth factor-β initiates the onset of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis显示文摘There is currently no effective medical treatment for temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis(TMJ-OA) due to a limited understanding of its pathogenesis. This study was undertaken to investigate the key role of transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β)signalling in the cartilage and subchondral bone of the TMJ using a temporomandibular joint disorder(TMD) rat model, an ageing mouse model and a Camurati–Engelmann disease(CED) mouse model. In the three animal models, the subchondral bone phenotypes in the mandibular condyles were evaluated by μCT, and changes in TMJ condyles were examined by TRAP staining and immunohistochemical analysis of Osterix and p-Smad2/3. Condyle degradation was confirmed by Safranin O staining, the Mankin and OARSI scoring systems and type X collagen(Col X), p-Smad2/3 a and Osterix immunohistochemical analyses. We found apparent histological phenotypes of TMJ-OA in the TMD, ageing and CED animal models, with abnormal activation of TGF-βsignalling in the condylar cartilage and subchondral bone. Moreover, inhibition of TGF-β receptor I attenuated TMJ-OA progression in the TMD models. Therefore, aberrant activation of TGF-β signalling could be a key player in TMJ-OA development. | Liwei Zheng Caixia Pi Jun Zhang Yi Fan Chen Cui Yang Zhou Jianxun Sun Quan Yuan Xin Xu Ling Ye Xu Cao Xuedong Zhou | 2018 | Bone Research2018,6,4: | 13 |
| 8 | Metal-Organic Framework Nanocarriers for Drug Delivery in Biomedical Applications显示文摘Investigation of metal–organic frameworks(MOFs)for biomedical applications has attracted much attention in recent years.MOFs are regarded as a promising class of nanocarriers for drug delivery owing to well-defined structure,ultrahigh surface area and porosity,tunable pore size,and easy chemical functionalization.In this review,the unique properties of MOFs and their advantages as nanocarriers for drug delivery in biomedical applications were discussed in the first section.Then,state-ofthe-art strategies to functionalize MOFs with therapeutic agents were summarized,including surface adsorption,pore encapsulation,covalent binding,and functional molecules as building blocks.In the third section,the most recent biological applications of MOFs for intracellular delivery of drugs,proteins,and nucleic acids,especially aptamers,were presented.Finally,challenges and prospects were comprehensively discussed to provide context for future development of MOFs as efficient drug delivery systems. | Yujia Sun Liwei Zheng Yu Yang Xu Qian Ting Fu Xiaowei Li Zunyi Yang He Yan Cheng Cui Weihong Tan | 2020 | Nano-Micro Letters2020,12,8: | 10 |
| 9 | Gap junction-mediated cell-to-cell communication in oral development and oral diseases: a concise review of research progress显示文摘Homoeostasis depends on the close connection and intimate molecular exchange between extracellular, intracellular and intercellular networks. Intercellular communication is largely mediated by gap junctions(GJs), a type of specialized membrane contact composed of variable number of channels that enable direct communication between cells by allowing small molecules to pass directly into the cytoplasm of neighbouring cells. Although considerable evidence indicates that gap junctions contribute to the functions of many organs, such as the bone, intestine, kidney, heart, brain and nerve, less is known about their role in oral development and disease. In this review, the current progress in understanding the background of connexins and the functions of gap junctions in oral development and diseases is discussed. The homoeostasis of tooth and periodontal tissues, normal tooth and maxillofacial development, saliva secretion and the integrity of the oral mucosa depend on the proper function of gap junctions.Knowledge of this pattern of cell–cell communication is required for a better understanding of oral diseases. With the everincreasing understanding of connexins in oral diseases, therapeutic strategies could be developed to target these membrane channels in various oral diseases and maxillofacial dysplasia. | Wenjing Liu Yujia Cui Jieya Wei Jianxun Sun Liwei Zheng Jing Xie | 2020 | International Journal of Oral Science2020,12,2: | 7 |
| 10 | Effects of Brassinosteroid Associated with Auxin and Gibberellin on Apple Tree Growth and Gene Expression Patterns显示文摘Brassinosteroid is an important hormone that interacts with auxin and gibberellin to regulate plant growth and development. However,there is currently a relative lack of information regarding brassinosteroid in apple. Previous study confirmed that exogenous brassinosteroid treatments increased growth and endogenous brassinosteroid, auxin, as well as gibberellin levels of apple nursery trees. Here we succeeded to find that exogenous brassinosteroid treatments upregulated the transcript expression of auxin biosynthesis, transport, and positive signal transduction genes as well as gibberellin biosynthesis genes. In contrast, the application of exogenous brassinosteroid downregulated the expression of genes encoding negative regulators of auxin and gibberellin signal transductions. Rapid responses of several brassinosteroid-,auxin-, and gibberellin-related genes to the brassinosteroid and brassinazole treatments inferred the crosstalk of BR and IAA or GA. Furthermore,the expression levels of cell growth-related genes were also enhanced by exogenous brassinosteroid. Auxin and gibberellin treatments also influenced growth of apple tree and enhanced the expression of brassinosteroid-and cell growth-related genes. These results indicate that the growth of apple tree is regulated by the interaction between brassinosteroid, auxin, and gibberellin. Our work opened new avenues for deep portfolio of apple tree growth and laid the foundation for future studies aimed at elucidating the mechanisms regulating hormone interactionsmediated growth in apple trees. | Liwei Zheng Cai Gao Caide Zhao Lizhi Zhang Mingyu Han Na An Xiaolin Ren | 2019 | Horticultural Plant Journal2019,5,3: | 7 |
| 11 | The FGOALS climate system model as a modeling tool for supporting climate sciences:An overview显示文摘Climate system models are useful tools for understanding the interactions among the components of the climate system and predicting/projecting future climate change. The development of climate models has been a central focus of the State Key Laboratory of Numerical Modeling for Atmospheric Sciences and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences(LASG/IAP) since the establishment of the laboratory in 1985. In China, many pioneering component models and fully coupled models of the climate system have been developed by LASG/IAP. The fully coupled climate system developed in the recent decade is named FGOALS(Flexible Global Ocean-Atmosphere-Land System Model). In this paper, an application-oriented review of the LASG/IAP FGOALS model is presented. The improved model performances are demonstrated in the context of cloud-radiation processes, Asian monsoon, ENSO phenomena, Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation(AMOC) and sea ice. The FGOALS model has contributed to both CMIP5(Coupled Model Intercomparison Project-phase 5) and IPCC(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) AR5(the Fifth Assessment Report). The release of FGOALS data has supported the publication of nearly 500 papers around the world. The results of FGOALS are cited ~106 times in the IPCC WG1(Working Group 1) AR5. In addition to the traditional long-term simulations and projections, near-term decadal climate prediction is a new set of CMIP experiment, progress of LAGS/IAP in the development of nearterm decadal prediction system is reviewed. The FGOALS model has supported many Chinese national-level research projects and contributed to the national climate change assessment report. The crucial role of FGOALS as a modeling tool for supporting climate sciences is highlighted by demonstrating the model's performances in the simulation of the evolution of Earth's climate from the past to the future. | TianJun Zhou Bin Wang YongQiang Yu YiMin Liu WeiPeng Zheng LiJuan Li Bo Wu PengFei Lin Zhun Guo WenMin Man Qing Bao AnMin Duan HaiLong Liu XiaoLong Chen Bian He JianDong Li LiWei Zou XiaoCong Wang LiXia Zhang Yong Sun WenXia Zhang | 2018 | Earth and Planetary Physics2018,2,4: | 6 |
| 12 | Kirigami-inspired,highly stretchable microsupercapacitor patches fabricated by laser conversion and cutting显示文摘The recent developments in material sciences and rational structural designs have advanced the field of compliant and deformable electronics systems.However,many of these systems are limited in either overall stretchability or areal coverage of functional components.Here,we design a construct inspired by Kirigami for highly deformable microsupercapacitor patches with high areal coverages of electrode and electrolyte materials.These patches can be fabricated in simple and efficient steps by laser-assisted graphitic conversion and cutting.Because the Kirigami cuts significantly increase structural compliance,segments in the patches can buckle,rotate,bend and twist to accommodate large overall deformations with only a small strain(<3%)in active electrode areas.Electrochemical testing results have proved that electrical and electrochemical performances are preserved under large deformation,with less than 2%change in capacitance when the patch is elongated to 382.5%of its initial length.The high design flexibility can enable various types of electrical connections among an array of supercapacitors residing in one patch,by using different Kirigami designs. | Renxiao Xu Anton Zverev Aaron Hung Caiwei Shen Lauren Irie Geoffrey Ding Michael Whitmeyer Liangjie Ren Brandon Griffin Jack Melcher Lily Zheng Xining Zang Mohan Sanghadasa Liwei Lin | 2018 | Microsystems & Nanoengineering2018,4,1: | 6 |

| 14 | Berberine mediates root remodeling in an immature tooth with apical periodontitis by regulating stem cells from apical papilla differentiation显示文摘Once pulp necrosis or apical periodontitis occurs on immature teeth,the weak root and open root apex are challenging to clinicians.Berberine(BBR)is a potential medicine for bone disorders,therefore,we proposed to apply BBR in root canals to enhance root repair in immature teeth.An in vivo model of immature teeth with apical periodontitis was established in rats,and root canals were filled with BBR,calcium hydroxide or sterilized saline for 3 weeks.The shape of the roots was analyzed by micro-computed tomography and histological staining.In vitro,BBR was introduced into stem cells from apical papilla(SCAPs).Osteogenic differentiation of stem cells from apical papilla was investigated by alkaline phosphatase activity,mineralization ability,and gene expression of osteogenic makers.The signaling pathway,which regulated the osteogenesis of SCAPs was evaluated by quantitative real time PCR,Western blot analysis,and immunofluorescence.In rats treated with BBR,more tissue was formed,with longer roots,thicker root walls,and smaller apex diameters.In addition,we found that BBR promoted SCAPs osteogenesis in a time-dependent and concentration-dependent manner.BBR induced the expression ofβ-catenin and enhancedβ-catenin entering into the nucleus,to up-regulate more runt-related nuclear factor 2 downstream.BBR enhanced root repair in immature teeth with apical periodontitis by activating the canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway in SCAPs. | Yujia Cui Jing Xie Yujie Fu Chuwen Li Liwei Zheng Dingming Huang Changchun Zhou Jianxun Sun Xuedong Zhou | 2020 | International Journal of Oral Science2020,12,2: | 5 |
| 15 | Hot deformation characterization of as-homogenized Al-Cu-Li X2A66 alloy through processing maps and microstructural evolution显示文摘Uniaxial compression tests were carried out on an Al-Cu-Li alloy at a temperature range of 300–500℃ and a strain rate range of 0.001–10 s^-1. Four representative instability maps based on Gegel, AlexanderMalas(A-M), Kumar-Prasad(K-P) and Murty-Rao(M-R) criteria were constructed. Through formula deduction and microstructural observation, it can be concluded that M-R criterion is more accurate than K-P criterion, and the first two criteria are better than Gegel and A-M criteria. From a power dissipation map and a M-R instability map, the optimized processing parameters are 480–500℃/0.001–0.1 s^-1 and 420–480℃/0.1-1 s^-1. The corresponding microstructural analysis shows that dynamic recovery and partial dynamic recrystallization are main dynamic softening mechanisms. Transmission electron microscopy observation indicated that a large number of primary coarse T1(Al2 Cu Li) particles precipitated in the homogenized specimen. After deformation at 500℃, most of the primary T1 particles dissolved back into the matrix, and secondary fine T1 particles precipitated at deformation-induced dislocations, high angle grain boundaries and other dispersed particles. | Liwei Zhong Wenli Gao Zhaohui Feng Zheng Lu Congcong Zhu | 2019 | Journal of Materials Science & Technology2019,35,10: | 5 |

| 17 | Controlled-release neurotensin-loaded silk fibroin dressings improve wound healing in diabetic rat model显示文摘Diabetic foot ulcers(DFU),which may lead to lower extremity amputation,is one of the severe and chronic complications of diabetic mellitus.This study aims to develop,and use dressings based on Silk fibroin(SF)as the scaffold material,gelatin microspheres(GMs)as the carrier for the neurotensin(NT),a neuropeptide that acts as an inflammatory modulator in wound healing and NT as accelerate wound healing drug to treat DFU.We evaluated the wound healing processes and neo-tissue formation in rat diabetic model by macroscopic observation,histological observation(H&E staining and Masson's trichrome staining)and immunofluorescence analysis at 3,7,14,21 and 28 post-operation days.Our results show that the NT/GMs/SF group performance the best not only in macroscopic healing and less scars in 28 post-operation days,but also in fibroblast accumulation in tissue granulation,collagen expression and deposition at the wound site.From release profiles,we can know the GMs are a good carrier for control release drugs.The SEM results shows that the NT/GMs/SF dressings have an average pore size are 40–80μm and a porosity of∼85%,this pore size is suit for wound healing regeneration.These results suggest that the NT/GMs/SF dressings may work as an effective support for control release NT to promote DFU wound healing. | Jianghui Liu Liwei Yan Wei Yang Yong Lan Qiyu Zhu ongjie Xu Canbin Zheng Rui Guo | 2019 | Bioactive Materials2019,4,1: | 5 |
| 18 | Stable Lithium-Carbon Composite Enabled by Dual-Salt Additives显示文摘Lithium metal is regarded as the ultimate negative electrode material for secondary batteries due to its high energy density.However,it suffers from poor cycling stability because of its high reactivity with liquid electrolytes.Therefore,continuous efforts have been put into improving the cycling Coulombic efficiency(CE)to extend the lifespan of the lithium metal negative electrode.Herein,we report that using dual-salt additives of LiPF_(6) and LiNO_(3) in an ether solvent-based electrolyte can significantly improve the cycling stability and rate capability of a Li-carbon(Li-CNT)composite.As a result,an average cycling CE as high as 99.30% was obtained for the Li-CNT at a current density of 2.5 mA cm^(-2) and an negative electrode to positive electrode capacity(N/P)ratio of 2.The cycling stability and rate capability enhancement of the Li-CNT negative electrode could be attributed to the formation of a better solid electrolyte interphase layer that contains both inorganic components and organic polyether.The former component mainly originates from the decomposition of the LiNO_(3) additive,while the latter comes from the LiPF_(6)-induced ring-opening polymerization of the ether solvent.This novel surface chemistry significantly improves the CE of Li negative electrode,revealing its importance for the practical application of lithium metal batteries. | Lei Zheng Feng Guo Tuo Kang Yingzhu Fan Wei Gu Yayun Mao Ya Liu Rong Huang Zhiyun Li Yanbin Shen Wei Lu Liwei Chen | 2021 | Nano-Micro Letters2021,13,7: | 3 |
| 19 | 18beta-glycyrrhetinic acid induces ROS-mediated apoptosis to ameliorate hepatic fibrosis by targeting PRDX1/2 in activated HSCs显示文摘Hepatic stellate cells(HSCs)are essential drivers of fibrogenesis.Inducing activated-HSC apoptosis is a promising strategy for treating hepatic fibrosis.18beta-glycyrrhetinic acid(18b-GA)is a natural compound that exists widely in herbal medicines,such as Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch,which is used for treating multiple liver diseases,especially in Asia.In the present study,we demonstrated that 18b-GA decreased hepatic fibrosis by inducing the apoptosis in activated HSCs.18b-GA inhibited the expression of a-smooth muscle actin and collagen type Ⅰ alpha-1.Using a chemoproteomic approach derived from activity-based protein profiling,together with cellular thermal shift assay and surface plasmon resonance,we found that 18b-GA covalently targeted peroxiredoxin 1(PRDX1)and peroxiredoxin 2(PRDX2)proteins via binding to active cysteine residues and thereby inhibited their enzymatic activities.18b-GA induced the elevation of reactive oxygen species(ROS),resulting in the apoptosis of activated HSCs.PRDX1 knockdown also led to ROS-mediated apoptosis in activated HSCs.Collectively,our findings revealed the target proteins and molecular mechanisms of 18b-GA in ameliorating hepatic fibrosis,highlighting the future development of 18b-GA as a novel therapeutic drug for hepatic fibrosis. | Qian Zhang Piao Luo Liuhai Zheng Jiayun Chen Junzhe Zhang Huan Tang Dandan Liu Xueling He Qiaoli Shi Liwei Gu Jiahao Li Qiuyan Guo Chuanbin Yang Yin Kwan Wong Fei Xia Jigang Wang | 2022 | Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis2022,12,4: | 3 |
| 20 | microRNA Expression in Rat Apical Periodontitis Bone Lesion显示文摘Apical periodontitis,dominated by dense inflammatory infiltrates and increased osteoclast activities,can lead to alveolar bone destruction and tooth loss.It is believed that miRNA participates in regulating various biological processes,osteoclastogenesis included.This study aims to investigate the differential expression of miRNAs in rat apical periodontitis and explore their functional target genes.Microarray analysis was used to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in apical periodontitis.Bioinformatics technique was applied for predicting the target genes of differentially expressed miRNAs and their biological functions.The result provided us with an insight into the potential biological effects of the differentially expressed miRNAs and showed particular enrichment of target genes involved in the MAPK signaling pathways.These findings may highlight the intricate and specific roles of miRNA in inflammation and osteoclastogenesis,both of which are key aspects of apical periodontitis,thus contributing to the future investigation into the etiology,under-lying mechanism and treatment of apical periodontitis. | Bo Gao Liwei Zheng | 2013 | Bone Research2013,1,2: | 3 |
