This information sheds light on the possible role of lncRNA-UCA1 and C-JUN mRNA as promising diagnostic and prognostic markers as well as potential therapeutic targets in HCC.
Tissue expression of TGF-beta1 in psoriasis may be affected by the stage of development of the lesion. The direct relation between TGF-beta1 in psoriatic plaques and serum imply that the mechanisms for TGF-beta1 production and release in both these compartments may be related.
The present study aimed to evaluate the potential therapeutic effect of pantoprazole, a proton‐pump inhibitor, on precancerous lesion (PCL) in rats. diethylnitrosamine and 2‐acetylaminofluorene were used to induce PCL in rats, in vivo. The rats were treated with three doses of pantoprazole (100, 50, and 25 mg/kg; three times weekly) during the last 4 weeks of the total 10 weeks of the experiment. Blood and liver tissue samples were collected for measurement of the exosomal abundance and exosomal competing endogenous RNA markers. Results revealed that pantoprazole administration had an ameliorating effect on liver function tests and microscopic features of the liver; and decreased exosome abundance in the liver tissue samples and sera of the rats. Meanwhile, the treatment also resulted in a dose‐dependent decrease in exosomal RAB11A mRNA and long noncoding RNA RP11‐513I15.6, which is an important participant in th exosomal secretion process with an increase in exosomal miRNA‐1262. Based on these results, we postulated that pantoprazole has the potential to attenuate liver tumorigenesis in this rat model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
