Project description:Oral administration of Si-based agents produces large amounts of hydrogen under alkaline conditions in the intestinal tract. Hydrogen removes reactive oxygen species and reduces oxidative stress. It is also known that oxidative stress is involved in the progression of renal fibrosis. We reported that oral administration of Si- based agent suppressed renal fibrosis using UUO model. mRNA expression in Sham group, UUO group, and UUO+Si group was evaluated by RNA-seq and functional analysis, and found that fibrosis-related Gene ontology and Pathways related to fibrosis were suppressed by the Si-based agent.
Project description:Purpose: To evaluate whether administration of the oral DNA hypomethylating agent (HMA) CC-486 enhances the poor response rate of immunologically ‘cold’ solid tumors to immune checkpoint inhibitor durvalumab.
Project description:Current study found that oral administration markedly increased the growth capacity of DRG neurons. In this dataset, we identified genes that were differentially expressed in L4/5 DRGs after oral administration of LBP
Project description:we found that chronic oral (3 months) administration of nicotine had different effects on transcriptomic profiling in prefrontal forebrain cortex of wildtype (WT) and Presenilin 1/2 double knockout mice.
Project description:Glucocorticoids are first-line agents for the treatment of many eosinophil-associated disorders. However, their mechanism of action in this group of disorders remains poorly understood, including the well-known clinical observation that glucocorticoids at therapeutic doses lead to profound, transient eosinopenia within hours of administration. To gain an unbiased, genome-wide view of the early transcriptional effects of glucocorticoids on human eosinophils in vivo, and torelate them to the kinetics of glucocorticoid-induced eosinopenia, RNA sequencing was performed on purified blood eosinophils obtained before and 30, 60, and 120 minutes after administration of a single dose of oral prednisone (1 mg/kg) to healthy subjects with hypereosinophilia (hypereosinophilia of unknown significance).
Project description:Purpose: to find the potential down-stream target gene of circFAM120A Methods: mRNA profiles of decidualized human endometrial stromal cells (hESCs) after down-regulated FAM120A and control using siRNA were generated by NGS and compared by bioinformatics analysis Results: we sequenced 26414 mRNAs in hESCs between the si-NC and si-circFAM120A groups and identified 242 differentially expressed mRNAs, between which 161 were downregulated and 81 were up-regulated in si-circFAM120A group Conclusions: Our study represents the detailed analysis of decidualized hESCs transcriptomes between si-NC and si-circFAM120A groups.
Project description:Intestinal enteroendocrine L cells, responsive for secreting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) to normalize blood glucose level, are negatively affected when type 2 diabetes (T2D) develops. Here, we designed enhanced artificial “intestinal enteroendocrine L cells” (EcN-GLP-1@Fe-TA-Pe@CLGN) for T2D treatment via oral administration.
