LAMP-based rapid detection of pesticide resistance mutations in the ace-1 gene of fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).

The fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), a lepidopteran pest of highly destructive, has developed resistance to organophosphate and carbamate insecticides through target-site mutations, including A201S and F290V in the ace-1 gene encoding acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Developing rapid and reliable methods to detect these mutations is crucial for monitoring resistance and guiding effective management strategies. Although S.

The global, regional, and national disease burden and risk factors of male breast cancer from 1990 to 2021: an analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study.

Male breast cancer (MBC) contributes to approximately 1% of total breast cancer diagnoses, with rapidly rising incidence and mortality rates worldwide. Since most breast cancer research has focused on women, this study intended to report the incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of MBC to aid in its control and prevention. The data on the incidence, DALYs, deaths, and age-standardized rates of MBC between 1990 and 2021 in different countries and territories were sourced from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study.

The Long Noncoding RNA RP11-728F11.4 Promotes Atherosclerosis.

Objective: Noncoding RNAs are emerging as important players in gene regulation and cardiovascular diseases. Their roles in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis are not fully understood. The purpose of this study was to determine the role played by a previously uncharacterized long noncoding RNA, RP11-728F11.

TTDA inhibited apoptosis by regulating the p53-Bax/Bcl2 axis in glioma.

The trichothiodystrophy group A protein (TTDA) functions in nucleotide excision repair and basal transcription. TTDA plays a role in cancers and serves as a prognostic and predictive factor in high-grade serous ovarian cancer; however, its role in human glioma remains unknown. Here, we found that TTDA was overexpressed in glioma tissues.

Microarray profiling analysis and validation of novel long noncoding RNAs and mRNAs as potential biomarkers and their functions in atherosclerosis.

Long noncoding (lnc)RNAs have been implicated in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. However, the expression and mechanism of action of lncRNAs in atherosclerosis are still unclear. We implemented microarray analysis in human advanced atherosclerotic plaques and normal arterial intimae to detect the lncRNA and mRNA expression profile.

Forkhead Box C2 Attenuates Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Cell Adhesion via Suppression of Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 Expression in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic vascular inflammatory disease that involves diverse cell types and circulating regulatory factors, including intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, a proinflammatory cytokine. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) increase ICAM-1 expression and promote cell adhesion, but the mechanism is not clear. We found that LPS induced time- and dose-regulated upregulation of ICAM-1 expression and downregulation of forkhead box protein C2 (Foxc2) expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).

The role of the LncRNA-FA2H-2-MLKL pathway in atherosclerosis by regulation of autophagy flux and inflammation through mTOR-dependent signaling.

Atherosclerosis is a progressive, chronic inflammation in arterial walls. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in inflammation, but the exact mechanism in atherosclerosis is unclear. Our microarray analyses revealed that the levels of lncRNA-FA2H-2 were significantly decreased by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OX-LDL).

LncRNA-RP11-714G18.1 suppresses vascular cell migration via directly targeting LRP2BP.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is considered as the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Accumulating evidence supports an important role for long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Nevertheless, the role of lncRNA in atherosclerosis-associated vascular dysfunction and the underlying mechanism remain elusive.

[Carotid artery stenosis treated with modified carotid endarterectomy: report of two cases].

Based on standard carotid endarterectomy, we performed modified carotid endarterectomy in two cases of carotid artery stenosis by changing the direction of the carotid artery incision to avoid restenosis of the internal carotid artery without using a patch. The two patients recovered smoothly without any complications. Compared with eversion or patch endarterectomy, this modified carotid endarterectomy avoids restenosis of the carotid artery and shortens operation time.

Hairy/enhancer of Split Homologue-1 Suppresses Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-induced Angiogenesis via Downregulation of Osteopontin Expression.

Angiogenesis plays a critical role in the progression and vulnerability of atherosclerotic plaques; however, the orchestration of angiogenesis in atherosclerotic plaque formation remains unclear. The results of microarray analysis, real-time PCR and immunohistochemical analyses showed that Hairy/enhancer of split homologue-1 (Hes-1) expression was significantly decreased, while that of osteopontin (OPN) was increased, in atherosclerotic plaques. Meanwhile, immunofluorescence results demonstrated that both Hes-1 and OPN were expressed in endothelial cells (ECs) of neovessels in atherosclerotic plaques.

VNN1 promotes atherosclerosis progression in apoE-/- mice fed a high-fat/high-cholesterol diet.

Accumulated evidence shows that vanin-1 (VNN1) plays a key part in glucose metabolism. We explored the effect of VNN1 on cholesterol metabolism, inflammation, apoptosis in vitro, and progression of atherosclerotic plaques in apoE(-/-) mice. Oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL) significantly induced VNN1 expression through an ERK1/2/cyclooxygenase-2/PPARα signaling pathway.

Dihydrocapsaicin suppresses proinflammatory cytokines expression by enhancing nuclear factor IA in a NF-κB-dependent manner.

Background: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease and represents the leading cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Accumulating evidences have showed that Dihydrocapsaicin (DHC) has been found to exert multiple pharmacological and physiological effects. Nevertheless, the effects and possible mechanism of DHC on proinflammatory response remain largely unexplained.

MicroRNA-125b-5p attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 production by targeting inhibiting LACTB in THP-1 macrophages.

Background: Increasing evidence has shown that gene beta-lactamases (LACTB) has effect on obesity. Recent studies demonstrate that miR-125b-5p is a potential small molecular target to prevent atherosclerosis obliterans which may be inflammation-associated. However, the mechanism underlying miR-125b-5p on arteriosclerosis development, the association between miR-125b-5p and LACTB is still unknown.

Lipoxin A4 promotes ABCA1 expression and cholesterol efflux through the LXRα signaling pathway in THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells.

Adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) is a crucial cholesterol transporter and plays a central role in the high density lipoproteins (HDL) cholesterol metabolism and lipid clearance from the foam cell. Lipoxin A4 (LXA4) is an endogenous lipid mediator that requires cell-cell interaction or cell-platelet interaction for its synthesis. The roles of LXA4 on inflammatory responses are well described, while its effects on mediating ABCA1 and underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Ox-LDL Upregulates IL-6 Expression by Enhancing NF-κB in an IGF2-Dependent Manner in THP-1 Macrophages.

Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that is well established as a vital factor in determining the risk of coronary heart disease and pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Moreover, accumulating evidences have shown that oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) can promote IL-6 expression in macrophages. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism of how ox-LDL upregulates IL-6 expression remains largely unexplained.

ApoM Suppresses TNF-α-Induced Expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 Through Inhibiting the Activity of NF-κB.

To explore the anti-inflammatory effect of apolipoprotein M (apoM) on regulation of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and further investigate the molecular mechanism of apoM in this process. We found that TNF-α could decrease expression of apoM and inhibitor of NF-κB-α (IκBα) in HepG2 cells. Overexpression of apoM caused a significant decrease of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression, while it caused a significant increase of IκBα expression in HepG2 cells.

Ox-LDL upregulates CRP expression through the IGF2 pathway in THP-1 macrophages.

C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase reactant protein that not only plays a predictive role in determining atherogenesis risk but also represents an active participant in atherogenesis onset and progression. Moreover, an increasing number of studies have reported that oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) plays a significant role in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. However, the effect and underlying mechanism of Ox-LDL on CRP expression remains unclear.

An agomir of miR-144-3p accelerates plaque formation through impairing reverse cholesterol transport and promoting pro-inflammatory cytokine production.

Aims: ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) mediates the efflux of cholesterol and phospholipids to lipid-poor apolipoproteins, which then form nascent HDL, a key step in the mechanism of reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). While a series of microRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as potent post-transcriptional regulators of lipid metabolism, their effects on ABCA1 function and associated mechanisms remain unclear.

Methods And Results: ABCA1 was identified as a potential target of miR-144-3p, based on the results of bioinformatic analysis and the luciferase reporter assay, and downregulated after transfection of cells with miR-144-3p mimics, as observed with real-time PCR and western blot.

A lincRNA-DYNLRB2-2/GPR119/GLP-1R/ABCA1-dependent signal transduction pathway is essential for the regulation of cholesterol homeostasis.

Accumulated evidence shows that G protein-coupled receptor 119 (GPR119) plays a key role in glucose and lipid metabolism. Here, we explored the effect of GPR119 on cholesterol metabolism and inflammation in THP-1 macrophages and atherosclerotic plaque progression in apoE(-/-) mice. We found that oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL) significantly induced long intervening noncoding RNA (lincRNA)-DYNLRB2-2 expression, resulting in the upregulation of GPR119 and ABCA1 expression through the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor signaling pathway.
