Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRedox Sensing and Cardiac Myocyte Loss: Some Recent InsightsShyamal K. GoswamiGeneration of reactive oxygen-nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) has long been ascribed to pathophysiological conditions like ageing, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular disorders. However, more recent evidences suggest that while generation of ROS/RNS at a higher threshold is deleterious, at a lower dose these can act as second messengers, influencing specific cellular events like cell growth and differentiation, embryonic development, protection against ischemic injuries … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,349 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMicroRNA-92a: The Administrator of Certain DiseasesZhiyuan Sun, Qing Xu, Xiaoyi Tian et al.MicroRNA-92a (miR-92a) is an evolutionarily conserved noncoding small RNA that can regulate gene expression after transcription. Previous studies have found that miR-92a is overexpressed in many tumors and can regulate numerous tumor suppressor genes negatively, with relevant effects on the development of different tumors, by regulating the DUSP10/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), phosphatase and tensin homologs (PTEN)/AKT, Wnt and EP4/Notch1 signaling … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 21 May 2020 · 6,494 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Analysis of Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Responses in Rice Resisting False SmutYanmin Yu, Haiying Liu, Hongtao Wu et al.Rice false smut, caused by Ustilaginoidea virens, is an important fungal disease that reduces both grain yield and quality. To dissect the molecular basis of resistance, we combined transcriptome sequencing and metabolite profiling in resistant and susceptible rice cultivars. Transcriptome sequencing revealed more than 8,500 genes with altered expression patterns after infection, while metabolite profiling detected over 700 significantly changed … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 27 Aug 2026 · 1,057 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication of Polysaccharides from a Fermented Tea and Their Antioxidant and Hypoglycemic ViabilityJun Li, Lingxian Tong, Bing Li et al.The hypoglycemic effects of tea have been extensively studied, with fermented tea demonstrating notable efficacy owing to its distinct processing methods. This study involved the extraction of tea polysaccharides from Wuniuzao Black Tea (WTP) using a water extraction and ethanol precipitation method. WTP-1 and WTP-2 were obtained by separation and purification using DEAE-52 cellulose columns. Antioxidant activity was evaluated utilizing … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 30 Jul 2026 · 655 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDihydroartemisinin Attenuates HBV-Induced Proliferation and Migration in LO2 cells via EMT Pathway ModulationYingde Nong, Caifang Ma, Wei Huang et al.Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), a derivative of artemisinin, possesses well-documented anti-inflammatory properties. This study investigated the inhibitory effects of DHA on hepatitis B virus (HBV)-induced cellular alterations in LO2 cells and elucidated underlying molecular mechanisms. Serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were measured in HBV patients and analyzed for correlations with HBsAg, anti-HBs, and HBeAg. In vitro, LO2 cells were infected with clinical HBV … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 8 Jan 2026 · 2,071 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Arid3a Transcription Factor Rescues Natural and RAS-V12-Induced Senescence Via a Rb-Dependent PathwayChristian Schmidt, Dongkyoon Kim, Shawn Mathur et al.Primary cells are protected against oncogenic events by undergoing premature cellular senescence—an irreversible cell cycle arrest activated by mitogenic signaling as well as by overexpression of tumor suppressors, including p16INK4A, p53 and PML. In the human, downregulation of Dril1/E2F-BP1, a transcriptional regulator of E2F, promotes PML-dependent premature senescence and bypass of ant-iproliferative signaling by p19Arf/p53/p21Cip1 and p16INK4a to prevent both … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 4 Nov 2017 · 8,396 accessesView PDFCite
