Tetrandrine induces microRNA differential expression in human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts in vitro

P. Ning, Peng, Y., Liu, D. W., Hu, Y. H., Liu, Y., Liu, D. M., Ning, P., Peng, Y., Liu, D. W., Hu, Y. H., Liu, Y., and Liu, D. M., Tetrandrine induces microRNA differential expression in human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts in vitro, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have recently been shown to play a role in normal wound healing process. miRNAs may be linked to pathologic wound healing and closely related to the formation of hypertrophic scars. This study aimed to explore the effects of tetrandrine on the miRNA expression profile in human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (HSFs) in vitro. HSFs were randomly divided into two groups: the tetrandrine treatment group and the control group. The experimental and control groups were collected and analyzed by miRNA array after a 48-h culture.

Molecular characterization, chromosome mapping, and expression profile of porcine CDC16

D. Xu, Jiang, J., and Ma, H., Molecular characterization, chromosome mapping, and expression profile of porcine CDC16, vol. 14, pp. 12811-12819, 2015.

Cell division cycle16 (CDC16) is a core component among the eight protein subunits of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC). APC is a cyclin degradation system that governs the exit of cells from mitosis. Not much information is available for CDC16 in pig. In this study, a 2284-bp cDNA of porcine CDC16 was obtained by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). Porcine CDC16 was assigned to SSC11 q11-17, and was determined to be significantly linked with SW1452 by using somatic cell hybrid panel and radiation hybrid panel.

Characterization of porcine GAS6 cDNA gene and its expression analysis in weaned piglets

D. Xu, Jiang, J., He, J., He, C. Q., and Ma, H. M., Characterization of porcine GAS6 cDNA gene and its expression analysis in weaned piglets, vol. 14, pp. 17660-17672, 2015.

The growth arrest-specific 6 gene (GAS6) is a member of the family of plasma vitamin K-dependent proteins, which are able to bind to phospholipids using an N-terminal gamma-carboxyglutamic acid domain. A recent report has demonstrated that the GAS6 gene can promote fat deposition and is associated with an increased number of fat cells in mice. In order to investigate whether GAS6 expression is associated with meat quality in pigs, a 2382-bp cDNA sequence of the porcine GAS6 gene (GenBank accession No.

Genome-wide analysis of the GRAS gene family in physic nut (Jatropha curcas L.)

Z. Y. Wu, Wu, P. Z., Chen, Y. P., Li, M. R., Wu, G. J., and Jiang, H. W., Genome-wide analysis of the GRAS gene family in physic nut (Jatropha curcas L.), vol. 14, pp. 19211-19224, 2015.

GRAS proteins play vital roles in plant growth and development. Physic nut (Jatropha curcas L.) was found to have a total of 48 GRAS family members (JcGRAS), 15 more than those found in Arabidopsis. The JcGRAS genes were divided into 12 subfamilies or 15 ancient monophyletic lineages based on the phylogenetic analysis of GRAS proteins from both flowering and lower plants.
