Article Abstract

Successful detection of very small RNAs (tiny RNAs, ~8-15 nt in length) by northern blotting depends on tailored protocols with respect to transfer and immobilization on membranes as well as design of sensitive detection probes. For RNA crosslinking to positively charged membranes, we compared UV light with chemical RNA crosslinking by 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC), using either denaturing or native polyacrylamide gels. We show that northern blot detection of tiny RNAs with 5'-digoxigenin-labeled DNA/LNA mixmer probes is a highly sensitive and specific method and, in our hands, more sensitive than using a corresponding DNA/LNA mixmer probe with a 5'-P-end-label. Furthermore, we provide a robust protocol for northern blot analysis of noncoding RNAs of intermediate size (~50-400 nt).

DHYZ modulates hippocampal cholinergic pathway acetylation to ameliorate cognitive deficits post-ischemic stroke in rats.

Brain Res

Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, School of Rehabilitation Medicine, Binzhou Medical University, Yantai 264003, PR China. Electronic address:

Ischemic stroke is a serious cerebrovascular disease that is often accompanied by debilitating sensorimotor deficits and persistent cognitive deficits, which seriously affect patients' quality of life. DHYZ, a traditional Chinese herbal formula, has shown significant efficacy in restoring neurological function in ischemic regions of the brain, but its potential for improving poststroke cognitive impairment remains underdeveloped. In this study, the middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) model was used to reproduce the pathological process of ischemic stroke in humans.

Background And Aims: Preclinical and clinical studies found that head-down position (HDP) during ischaemic phase improved neurological function of acute ischaemic stroke, but the effect of HDP after reperfusion has never been investigated. This study aimed to investigate whether HDP after reperfusion can ameliorate cerebral ischaemic injury in rats.

Methods: The middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) model was established in rats, and different HDP interventions were performed.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived and play a notable role in the development of chronic diseases and can be used as biomarkers as they transport microRNAs (miRNA). Existing research has found that most miRNA functions are carried out via intercellular transmission of EVs, which can protect and sort miRNAs. Early detection of disease is crucial for controlling the spread of the disease and improving livestock prognosis.

Serum STARD4-AS1 As a Novel Marker for Gastric Cancer Diagnosis and Promotes Gastric Cancer Progression.

Clin Transl Gastroenterol

Department of Laboratory Medicine, Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, Medical School of Nantong University, Nantong 226001, China.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is a lethal malignant tumor necessitating high-sensitivity detection to improve diagnostic accuracy and the prognosis of patients. Alterations in long noncoding RNAs can influence cancer progression through various mechanisms. Our study tried to explore the potential of STARD4-AS1 as a GC biomarker and its mechanism of action in GC development.

Background: Neuroinflammation mediated by microglia activation is the key pathological mechanisms for cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI). This study investigated the role and underlying molecular mechanism of Rhomboid 5 homolog 2 (RHBDF2) in neuroinflammation during CIRI.

Methods: The in vivo middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion (MCAO/R) mouse model and in vitro HMC3 microglia subjected to oxygen glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R) were established to mimic CIRI.
