Electroacupuncture Improved Hippocampal Neurogenesis following Traumatic Brain Injury in Mice through Inhibition of TLR4 Signaling Pathway by Yuqin Ye, Yongxiang Yang, Chen Chen, Ze Li, Yanfeng Jia, Xinhong Su, Chaoxian Wang, Xiaosheng He

“…The hippocampal level of TLR4 and downstream molecules and inflammatory cytokines were, respectively, detected by Western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. EA enhanced hippocampal neurogenesis and inhibited TLR4 expression at 21, 28, and 35 days after TBI, but the beneficial effects of EA on posttraumatic neurogenesis and neurological functions were attenuated by lipopolysaccharide-induced TLR4 activation. …”

Target miRNA identification for the LPL gene in large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) by Kalim Ullah, Aslam Hossain, Mingyue Cao, Liangyi Xue, Yajun Wang

“…Subsequent in-depth analysis further implicated these miRNAs, along with miR-891a, as prospective targets of LPL, suggesting their integral involvement in the regulation of this critical enzyme. Validation of these bioinformatics predictions was conducted through the construction of double luciferase reporters concealing the LPL 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR), substantiating that miR-84a and miR-1231-5p can modulate LPL expression via the LPL 3′UTR. …”
