Remimazolam attenuates inflammation in bronchopneumonia through the inhibition of NLRP3 activity by PDPK1 ubiquitination

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Therefore, we tested the effects of Remimazolam presented Bronchopneumonia and its possible mechanisms. Remimazolam induced PDPK1 and p-AKT protein expressions, and suppressed NLRP3 protein expression in lung tissue of mice model. Remimazolam interlinked PDPK1 protein.

Discovery of small molecule c?Maf inhibitors using molecular docking?based virtual screening, molecular dynamics simulation, and biological evaluation

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Sorafenib and glimepiride simultaneously downregulated c-Maf protein expression to induce G1 phase arrest and apoptosis in myeloma cells. Given the abnormally high expression of c-Maf in most MM patients, targeting c-Maf presents an attractive therapeutic approach for treating MM malignancies.

Diosgenin inhibits proliferation and migration of ovarian cancer cells and induce apoptosis via upregulation of PTEN

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Thus, the present study evaluated the effect of diosgenin on the proliferation, apoptosis, and metastasis of ovarian cancer cells. The protein expression levels of main components of PI3K signaling were evaluated via western blotting. However, diosgenin mediated anticancer impacts are still not completely understood.

Hsa?miR?503?5p regulates CTDSPL to accelerate cisplatin resistance and angiogenesis of lung adenocarcinoma cells

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

The results showed that hsa-miR-503-5p showed high expression, while its target gene CTDSPL presented decreased expression in LUAD. Hsa-miR-503-5p also had high expression in cisplatin-resistant LUAD cells. Hsa-miR-503-5p also had high expression in cisplatin-resistant LUAD cells.

MiR?34 by targeting p53 induces apoptosis and DNA damage in paclitaxel?resistant human oral squamous carcinoma cells

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of miR-34 restoration in OECM-1 oral cancer resistant to paclitaxel (OECM-1/PTX) and its underlying mechanisms through p53-mediated DNA damage and apoptosis. The chemosensitive effects of miR-34 is mediated through increasing DNA damage and apoptosis in a p53 depended manner.
