Sepsis patients and healthy controls A total of 62 sepsis patients (male/female: 32/30; mean age, 52.3±4.9 years) who were admitted to Minhang Hospital, Fudan University between March 2018 and March 2020 were enrolled in the study. In addition, 62 healthy controls (male/female: 32/30; mean age, 52.4±4.8 years) who were at…

Introduction Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) will become the third leading cause of death worldwide.1,2 The incidence of COPD worldwide is 13.1%3 and is 13.7% in the Chinese population over 40 years of age.4 Emphysema is one of the most common phenotypes.1 Over the past few decades, we have conducted…

Symbol Name ACBD6 acyl-CoA binding domain containing 6 ACO2 aconitase 2, mitochondrial ADAMTS2 ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 2 AK2 adenylate kinase 2 ALDH6A1 aldehyde dehydrogenase 6 family, member A1 AP1S1 adaptor-related protein complex 1, sigma 1 subunit AP4M1 adaptor-related protein complex 4, mu 1 subunit APH1A APH1A…

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel class of noncoding RNAs that play important roles in human diseases. However, the regulation of circRNAs in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) has not been reported. In this study, we performed high-throughput sequencing to identify altered circRNAs in the vertebrae from GIOP patients. A total of…

Introduction Keloid is excessive fibrosis of the skin that extends beyond the area of injury and does not regress.1 Keloid can occur in the joints and mouth after several years of severe injury, including burns, chemical injury, wound, and surgical incision.2 Keloids on the joints affect the quality of life,…

Fig. 1: H19 gene expression was derepressed on the paternally inherited inverted-ICR allele in fetal livers but not in placentas. a Breeding scheme. In order to distinguish parental origin of the alleles by using SNPs between inbred mouse strains, inverted-ICR heterozygous male mice (WT/INV; C57BL/6J [B6] background) were mated with…

Significance Interferon (IFN)-mediated antiviral responses serve as the first line of the host innate immune defense against viral infection. Here we identify a previously uncharacterized protein designated phospholipase A2 inhibitor and LY6/PLAUR domain-containing protein (PINLYP), which is essential for embryonic development and plays an important role in type I IFN…

Significance Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (Sod1) is a key antioxidant enzyme, and its importance is underscored by the fact that its ablation in cell and animal models results in oxidative stress; metabolic defects; and reductions in cell proliferation, viability, and lifespan. Curiously, Sod1 detoxifies superoxide radicals (O2•−) in a manner that…

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are pluripotent stem cells that have indefinite self-renewal capacities under appropriate culture conditions in vitro. The pluripotency maintenance and proliferation of these cells are delicately governed by the concert effect of a complex transcriptional regulatory network. Herein, we discovered that p57Kip2 (p57), a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor…

Introduction According to the cancer statistics reported in 2020, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the main type of Primary Carcinoma of the Liver and the second leading causes of cancer-related death globally, with a five-year survival rate < 20%.1 Currently, surgical resection, a standard therapy for HCC, contributes to the prognosis…
