Identification of a Novel lincRNA-p21-miR-181b-PTEN Signaling Cascade in Liver Fibrosis by Fujun Yu, Zhongqiu Lu, Bicheng Chen, Peihong Dong, Jianjian Zheng

“…Previously, we found that long intergenic noncoding RNA-p21 (lincRNA-p21) inhibits hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation and liver fibrosis via p21. However, the underlying mechanism of the antifibrotic role of lincRNA-p21 in liver fibrosis remains largely unknown. …”

Gradual Increase of High Mobility Group Protein B1 in the Lungs after the Onset of Acute Exacerbation of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis by Masahito Ebina, Hiroyuki Taniguchi, Taku Miyasho, Shingo Yamada, Naoko Shibata, Hiromitsu Ohta, Shu Hisata, Shinya Ohkouchi, Tsutomu Tamada, Hidekazu Nishimura, Akitoshi Ishizaka, Ikuro Maruyama, Yoshinori Okada, Kondo Takashi, Toshihiro Nukiwa

“…The pathogenesis of acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) remains to be elucidated. To evaluate the roles of inflammatory mediators in acute exacerbation, the concentrations of high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1), a chief mediator of acute lung injury, and 18 inflammatory cytokines were measured in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, serially sampled from seven IPF patients after the onset of acute exacerbation. …”
