Echinacoside alleviates Ang II-induced cardiac fibrosis by enhancing the SIRT1/IL-11 pathway by Yingbiao Wu, Zhongping Ning

“…Nevertheless, ECH’s precise function and mechanisms in addressing cardiac fibrosis are still not fully understood.Materials and Methods: In our current investigation, we induced cardiac fibrosis in mice by administering Angiotensin II (Ang II) and subsequently assessed the effects of ECH treatment four weeks post-fibrosis induction. Additionally, in an in vitro setting, we exposed cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) to Ang II to prove the anti-fibrotic mechanisms of ECH.Results: ECH treatment effectively reversed cardiac fibrosis in the mice model. …”

Disulfiram suppresses growth of the malignant pleural mesothelioma cells in part by inducing apoptosis. by Vino T Cheriyan, Ying Wang, Magesh Muthu, Shazia Jamal, Di Chen, Huanjie Yang, Lisa A Polin, Adi L Tarca, Harvey I Pass, Q Ping Dou, Sunita Sharma, Anil Wali, Arun K Rishi

“…Although podoplanin expression often correlates with metastatic disease and poor prognosis, phosphorylation of serines in cytoplasmic domain of podoplanin has recently been shown to interfere with cellular motility and migration signaling. Post-translational modification of podoplanin and cleavage of vimentin by DSF-Cu underscore a metastasis inhibitory property of this agent and together with our in vivo studies underscore its potential as an anti-MPM agent.…”
