Oleanolic Acid Induces Differentiation of Neural Stem Cells to Neurons: An Involvement of Transcription Factor Nkx-2.5 by You Ning, Jianhua Huang, Bill Kalionis, Qin Bian, Jingcheng Dong, Junzhen Wu, Xiantao Tai, Shijin Xia, Ziyin Shen

“…Through transcription factor binding site analyses of the upstream regulatory sequences of these genes, 87 genes were predicted to share a common motif for Nkx-2.5 binding. Finally, small interfering RNA (siRNA) methodology was used to silence Nkx-2.5 expression and found silence of Nkx-2.5 alone did not change the expression of TuJ-1 and the percentage of TuJ-1-positive cells. …”

Investigation on Nonlinear Flow Behavior through Rock Rough Fractures Based on Experiments and Proposed 3-Dimensional Numerical Simulation by Xianshan Liu, Man Li, Nandou Zeng, Tao Li

“…In addition, the expression of wall friction factor was derived, and relationship of f, Re, and relative roughness indicated that f increased with increasing fracture roughness considering the same aperture, resulting in nonlinear flow more easily, otherwise is not, showing that f could be used to describe the seepage condition and corresponding turning point. Finally, it can be seen from the numerical results that the nonlinearity of fluid flow is mainly caused by the formation of eddies at fracture intersections and the critical pressure gradient decreases with increasing angle. …”

β-Endorphin Mediates the Development and Instability of Atherosclerotic Plaques by Taisuke Okano, Kengo Sato, Remina Shirai, Tomomi Seki, Koichiro Shibata, Tomoyuki Yamashita, Ayaka Koide, Hitomi Tezuka, Yusaku Mori, Tsutomu Hirano, Takuya Watanabe

“…The μ-opioid receptor (OPRM1) was expressed in THP-1 monocytes, macrophages, HASMCs, HUVECs, and human aortic endothelial cells. β-Endorphin significantly increased THP-1 monocyte adhesion to HUVECs and induced upregulation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and E-selectin via nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and p38 phosphorylation in HUVECs. β-Endorphin significantly increased HUVEC proliferation and enhanced oxidized low-density lipoprotein-induced foam cell formation in macrophages. β-Endorphin also significantly shifted the macrophage phenotype to proinflammatory M1 rather than anti-inflammatory M2 via NF-κB phosphorylation during monocyte-macrophage differentiation and increased migration and apoptosis in association with c-jun-N-terminal kinase, p38, and NF-κB phosphorylation in HASMCs. …”

Asparagine endopeptidase regulates lysosome homeostasis via modulating endomembrane phosphoinositide composition by Linli Yao, GuangHui Zi, Miao He, Yuhong Xu, Lulu Wang, Baowei Peng
