Characterization of Chromatin Structure-associated Histone Modifications in Breast Cancer Cells by Chang Pyo Hong, Moon Kyung Choe, Tae-Young Roh

“…Chromatin structure and dynamics that are influenced by epigenetic marks, such as histone modification and DNA methylation, play a crucial role in modulating gene transcription. To understand the relationship between histone modifications and regulatory elements in breast cancer cells, we compared our chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) histone modification patterns for histone H3K4me1, H3K4me3, H3K9/16ac, and H3K27me3 in MCF-7 cells with publicly available formaldehyde-assisted isolation of regulatory elements (FAIRE)-chip signals in human chromosomes 8, 11, and 12, identified by a method called FAIRE. …”

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell‐derived exosomes improve renal fibrosis by reducing the polarisation of M1 and M2 macrophages through the activation of EP2 receptors by Yuqing Lu, Lulu Yang, Xiao Chen, Jing Liu, Anqi Nie, Xiaolan Chen

“…Here, we investigate the therapeutic effect of BM‐MSCs on unilateral ureteral occlusion (UUO)‐induced interstitial fibrosis in the kidney by modulating prostaglandin E2 receptor 2 (EP2). Renal pathological changes were evident in the UUO group compared to the control group, with significantly increased expression of α‐smooth muscle actin (α‐SMA), fibronectin, Ep2 and F4/80+CD86+ and F4/80+CD206+ cells in the UUO group (p< 0.05). …”

The Effect of Transobturator Tape Surgery on Female Sexual Functions: A Systematic Review by Engin Yildirim, Nuriye Buyukkayaci Duman, Umit Gorkem, Ozgur Kan

“…In total, 8 clinical studies employed female sexual function index whereas 8 clinical studies administered Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire -12. 4 of these studies tried to understand women’s sexual functions through questions determined by the researchers (N/A). 2 of the other studies used the Sexual Impact Questionnaire and a visual analogue scale, 1 study used Nine Questions on Sexual Functioning (NSF-9) and 1 study used International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Vaginal Symptoms Module (ICIQ-VS). It was found that transobturator tape surgery that is performed for incontinence produces positive results on both sexual functions and urinary functions. …”

LINC00707 Regulates miR-382-5p/VEGFA Pathway to Enhance Cervical Cancer Progression by Hua Guo, Jing Li, Furong Fan, Ping Zhou

“…Then, we predicted that LINC00707 could serve as a molecular sponge for miR-382-5p to modulate VEGFA expression in cervical cancer. Subsequently, lack of VEGFA expression reversed the influence of miR-382-5p knockdown on cervical cancer cells. …”
