Cardiac RGS7 and RGS11 drive TGFβ1-dependent liver damage following chemotherapy exposure

128 views | Dec 14 2023

The research findings reveal that RGS7 controls the release of TGFβ1 from the heart, influencing the multiorgan damage caused by chemotherapy and emphasizing the importance of cardiokine signaling in this process. [Read the Full Post]

Regulatory mechanism of NOV/CCN3 in the inflammation and apoptosis of lung epithelial alveolar cells upon lipopolysaccharide stimulation

172 views | Dec 12 2023

In the LPS-induced acute lung injury model, CCN3 knockdown significantly attenuated inflammatory cytokine expression, reduced apoptosis in alveolar epithelial cells, and inhibited NF-κB activation, indicating its pivotal role in regulating lung inflammation and apoptosis via the TGF-β/p-Smad or NF-κB pathway.
