Study on the protective effect of naringin-regulated lncRNA GAS5 against mitochondrial apoptosis in osteoarthritic chondrocytes by LIN Qin, ZHU Yingkai, LIN Yanming, LAN Shujie, CHEN Changxing, FU Changlong

“…ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of naringin on mitochondrial apoptosis in osteoarthritic (OA) chondrocytes by regulating lncRNA GAS5.MethodsIn vivo experiments, a rat OA model was constructed using the modified Hulth method and treated with naringin at 70 mg/kg by gavage for 8 weeks. Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound were used to identify the success of modeling; histopathological changes in rat articular cartilage were assessed using toluidine blue and saffron O staining; changes in the levels of lncRNA GAS5 in rat cartilage tissues after naringin intervention were detected by Real-time PCR; Western blot detected Caspase-3, Bax, MMP-13 and Cyt-C in rat cartilage tissues. …”

A minimally invasive animal model of atherosclerosis and neointimal hyperplasia for translational research by Max L. A. Ebert, Vanessa F. Schmidt, Osman Öcal, Anne von Thaden, Olaf Dietrich, Bastian Popper, Sandra Elges, Max Seidensticker, Jens Ricke, Melanie A. Kimm, Astrid Jeibmann, Moritz Wildgruber

“…The stent-retriever model resulted in less periprocedural morbidity (including expenditure, intubation time, anesthetics, and end-tidal CO2 level) and mortality (40% mortality in the conventional group compared to 0% in the stent-retriever model, p = 0.011), while generating lumen-narrowing atherosclerotic lesions with key features as compared to humans as revealed by time-of-flight magnetic resonance imaging and histology. Conclusion We developed a minimally invasive model of iliac atherosclerosis with high reproducibility and improved animal welfare for translational research. …”
