CircBTBD7 inhibits adipogenesis via the miR-183/SMAD4 axis

Adipogenesis is a complex biological process. However, the regulatory mechanism of circRNAs in adipogenesis is still unclear. In this study, we identified a novel circRNA, circBTBD7, which was highly expressed in adipose tissue and peaked at two days after differentiation in bovine primary adipocytes. When circBTBD7 was knocked down in…

The molecular consequences of SMAD4 inactivation in the context of colon cancer.

The intestinal epithelium – the cell wall that separates the intestinal tract from the rest of the body – is constantly renewed by intestinal stem cells that divide continuously. This process is under strict control to ensure that cell division and cell death are balanced, and that cells develop into…

SMAD4 promotes somatic-germline contact during oocyte growth

Abstract Development of the oocyte requires physical contact with the surrounding granulosa cells of the follicle, which provide it with essential nutrients and regulatory signals. This contact is achieved through specialized filopodia, termed transzonal projections (TZPs), that extend from the granulosa cells to the oocyte surface. Transforming growth factor (TGFβ)…

Proscillaridin A induces mitochondrial damage and autophagy in pancreatic cancer and reduces the stability of SMAD4 in Panc-1 cells – Hou

Introduction Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most aggressive and lethal cancers (1). Previous studies have shown that aging, environmental and behavioral changes are more closely related to the dramatic increase in the incidence of PC worldwide than genetic factors (2–5). A position paper published by the European Federation…

BMP-6 and SMAD4 gene expression is altered in cumulus cells from women with endometriosis-associated infertility

Introduction Oocyte competence and quality depend on communication between the oocyte and the cumulus and theca cells. In the preantral phase, the members of the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) superfamily are responsible for this communication and play an important role in folliculogenesis. Members of the TGF-β superfamily are related…

Spatiotemporal modulation of SMAD4 by HBx is required for cellular proliferation in hepatitis B-related liver cancer

Purpose: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) plays a crucial role in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It is known that HBV-encoded X protein (HBx) can induce genetic alterations in some oncogenes and that SMAD4 is relevant for the development of some cancers, especially HBV-related HCC. Previously, it has been reported…

Genomic Stratification of Resectable CRLM Patients & Implications for Adjuvant Therapy and Survival

For a study, the researchers sought to see if genomic risk groups discovered by colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) somatic mutation testing may be used for “molecularly-guided” adjuvant systemic chemotherapy and hepatic artery infusion of FUDR (SYS+HAI-FUDR). A prospective institutional database was analyzed for consecutive patients with resected CRLM and available…

Exosomal microRNA-618 derived from mesenchymal stem cells attenuate the progression of hepatic fibrosis by targeting Smad4

Introduction Hepatic fibrosis (HF) is a pathological phenomenon produced in the process of long-term damage and repair in the liver [1,2]. During the formation of HF, hepatocytes are damaged by various factors, such as chronic liver disease, and excessive intake of alcohol, and secrete a variety of cytokines [3]. Subsequently,…

Characterization of Blood- Based Molecular Profiling in Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

Introduction Most cases of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are diagnosed in the metastatic or locally advanced stage. It is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States,1,2 with a 5-year overall survival (OS) around 10% in this country2 despite years of research and therapeutic development. For those patients…

MicroRNA-181a Deficiency Results in Transcriptome-Wide Cell-Specific Changes in The Kidney and Increases Blood Pressure

The micro ribonucleic acid (microRNA) [MiR-181a] is downregulated in the kidneys of rodents and patients suffering from high blood pressure (BP). The miR-181a is a posttranslational inhibitor of renin articulation in vitro, yet pleiotropic systems by which miR-181a may impact BP are unclear. Whether cancellation of miR-181a/b-1 in vivo changes…
