Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is an opportunistic infectious disease prevalent in immunosuppressive host. Corticosteroids treatment is the most significant risk factor for HIV-negative patients with PCP, though little is known about how corticosteroids alters the host defense against Pneumocystis infection.

View SamplesThe widely used white light-emitting diodes (LED) deliver higher levels of blue light than do conventional domestic light sources. The high intensity of blue component is the main source of concern about the health risks of LED with respect to their light-toxicity to the retina. White LED light with higher correlated color temperature (CCT) is more likely to cause retinal injury in mice, significantly reducing the number of ONL nuclei, however apoptosis pathway may not be the only mechanism.

View SamplesThe goal of this experiment was to investigate the early mechanisms of human fulminant hepatitis through ConA-induced hepatitis model.Early diagnosis and interventions are important for patients with fulminant hepatitis and gene expression may be pivotal in the early diagnosis.

View SamplesTGF-beta/Smads signaling plays important roles in vascular integrity. To identify potential Smad4 target genes in brain endothelial cells that control cerebrovascular integrity, the microarray assay was performed to compare the gene expression profiles of bEnd3 transfected with Smad4-siRNA and control-siRNA.
Endothelial Smad4 maintains cerebrovascular integrity by activating N-cadherin through cooperation with Notch.

View SamplesPolycomb group (PcG) proteins are epigenetic silencers whose dysregulation is frequently linked to cancer via mechanisms that remain unclear. Using conditional knock-out mice in a colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) model, we found that Bmi1 and Mel18 are important initiation and maintenance factors during CAC tumorigenesis. Epithelial depletion of both Bmi1 and Mel18, but not either gene alone, significantly reduces tumor growth and multiplicity.
BMI1 and MEL18 Promote Colitis-Associated Cancer in Mice via REG3B and STAT3.
