简介:AbstractObjective:This study was performed to investigate the relationship between the human melanogenesis and antioxidant systems and to further confirm the synergistic effect of oxyresveratrol (OXYR) and resveratrol (RES) in human epidermal melanocyte cell line.Methods:The human epidermal melanocyte line PIG1 cells were divided into the UV groups and control group, treated with different doses of UVB and without UVB, respectively. MTT assay and flow cytometry were used to detect cell viability and apoptosis. The expression of Nrf2/HO-1 and melanogenesis-associated proteins/genes was measured by Western blotting and real-time qPCR (RT-qPCR). pCMV6-XL5-Nrf2 was used to upregulate the expression of Nrf2. Subsequently, the proteins/genes levels of Nrf2/HO-1 and tyrosinase (TYR), melanin/eumelanin content, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were analyzed. Isobologram analysis and cell experiment were used to analyze whether OXYR and RES inhibit TYR synergistically. Western blotting, RT-qPCR, and NaOH splitting method were used to determine the Nrf2/HO-1 and melanogenesis-associated proteins/genes expression and melanin content to evaluate the efficacy of OXYR and RES.Results:The activated Nrf2 and HO-1 eliminated ROS produced by UVB irradiation. The melanogenesis-associated proteins/genes of melanocyte-inducing transcription factor (MITF, P < 0.01 on protein expression), TYR (both P < 0.01), TYR-related protein (TRP)-1 (both P < 0.05), and TRP2 (P < 0.05 on mRNA expression) were activated in PIG1 cells by UVB irradiation. Simultaneously, the upregulation of Nrf2 significantly reduced melanogenesis formation (P < 0.001) and TYR level (P < 0.01 on protein expression). Moreover, OXYR and RES synergistically inhibited TYR activity (P < 0.001) and reduced melanin content (P < 0.001).Conclusions:A microbalance exists between Nrf2/HO-1 signaling and melanogenesis production in the UVB-induced responses of melanocytes. Simultaneously, OXYR enhances the ability of RES to inhibit melanin production.
简介:AbstractBackground:The CHA2DS2–VASc score was initially applied to stratify stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and was found to be effective in predicting all-cause mortality outcomes. To date, it is still unclear whether circulating long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as emerging biomarkers, can improve the predictive power of the CHA2DS2–VASc score in stroke and all-cause mortality.Methods:Candidate lncRNAs were screened by searching the literature and analyzing previous RNA sequencing results. After preliminary verification in 29 patients with AF, the final selected lncRNAs were evaluated by Cox proportional hazards regression in 192 patients to determine whether their relative expression levels were associated with stroke and all-cause mortality. The c-statistic, net reclassification improvement (NRI), and integrated discrimination improvement of the patients were calculated to evaluate the discrimination and reclassification power for stroke and all-cause mortality when adding lncRNA expression levels to the CHA2DS2–VASc score model.Results:Five plasma lncRNAs associated with stroke and all-cause mortality in AF patients were selected in our screening process. Patients with elevated H19 levels were found to have a higher risk of stroke (hazard ratio [HR] 3.264, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.364–7.813, P = 0.008). Adding the H19 expression level to the CHA2DS2–VASc score significantly improved the discrimination and reclassification power of the CHA2DS2–VASc score for stroke in AF patients. In addition, the H19 level showed a marginally significant association with all-cause mortality (HR 2.263, 95% CI: 0.889–5.760, P = 0.087), although it appeared to have no significant improvement for the CHA2DS2–VASc model for predicting all-cause mortality.Conclusions:Plasma expression of H19 was associated with stroke risk in AF patients and improved the discriminatory power of the CHA2DS2–VASc score. Therefore, lncRNA H19 served as an emerging non-invasive biomarker for stroke risk prediction in patients with AF.
