Article Abstract
Target gene silencing is a strategy that can be used to turn off pathways or genes which are difficult to turn off pharmacologically, both because of lack of targeting drugs, or because of the risk of wider off-target effects. Here we describe the design and use of short hairpin RNA (ShRNA) and lentiviral vectors as an efficient technique for silencing NF-kappaB (NF-κB) pathway in cultured cells. This method can be used also in hard to transfect primary cell cultures.

Retinal neovascularization is one of the most prevalent fundus neovascular diseases, affecting vision and potentially leading to severe complications, such as retinal detachment or irreversible blindness. Current treatments primarily involve intravitreal injections (IVT) of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents. However, such treatment often requires repeated injections, develop incomplete responses, and are associated with adverse effects.

Cardiac fibrosis, especially in the infarct border zone, leads to decreased cardiac compliance, impaired systolic and diastolic function, resulting in heart failure. M6A methylation plays a role in fibrosis development. However, its underlying mechanism remains poorly understood.

Radioresistance is a major obstacle to effective radiotherapy in breast cancer. BUB1 mitotic checkpoint serine/threonine kinase B (BUB1B) is involved in numerous biological processes associated with cancer; however, its specific role in mediating radioresistance in breast cancer remains poorly characterized. The present study first evaluated its expression profile and association with patient prognosis through bioinformatics analysis.

Aberrant extracellular matrix (ECM) production by dermal fibroblasts drives fibrotic skin diseases, which has an adverse impact on the lives of patients. Current treatments are limited; therefore, the development of new antifibrotic strategies is necessary. The aim of the present study was to investigate zinc finger 469 (ZNF469) as a potential ECM regulator in skin fibrosis.

Background: The progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and liver fibrosis remains poorly understood, though liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) are thought to play a central role in disease pathogenesis.
Aim: To investigate the role of in NAFLD fibrosis through its regulation of LSEC dysfunction and macrophage polarization.
Methods: We analysed single-cell transcriptomic data (GSE129516) from NASH and normal mouse models and identified as a key regulator in LSECs.
