In vivo testing of novel nitric oxide-releasing nanoparticles for alleviating heart failure using the zebrafish embryo model by Maram, Hasan

“…Our findings demonstrated that the NO-RPs improved the survival rate in the heart failure zebrafish model and reversed heart failure by enhancing blood flow perfusion in Zebrafish embryos, significantly. In addition, RT-PCR results showed that the NO-RPs significantly reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory markers (lL-6&COX-2) in the heart failure zebrafish model. …”

Dextran Sodium Sulfate-Induced Impairment of Protein Trafficking and Alterations in Membrane Composition in Intestinal Caco-2 Cell Line by Toutounji, Mohamad

“…The present study investigates endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in addition to alterations in protein and membrane trafficking in a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced IBD-like phenotype of intestinal Caco-2 cells in culture. DSS treatment significantly reduced the transepithelial electric resistance (TEER) and increased the epithelial permeability of Caco-2 cells, without affecting their viability. …”

Exploring the Fecal miRNA Profile in FMF Patients and the Role of miR-21-5p in Inflammatory Pathways Associated with FMF Pathogenesis by Chaaban, Ahlam

“…Correlation studies revealed that three anti-inflammatory miRNAs, mir-144-3p, mir-29b- 3p, and mir-374b-5p, were downregulated in M694V homozygous patients compared to those with other genotypes and six miRNAs were higher in patients with greater disease severity. The inhibition of mir-21-5p in LPS-stimulated THP-1 derived macrophages reduced the activation of NF-κB and inflammasome pathways. …”
