Project description:Transitional Chinese herbal medicine has a long history of applications for anti-aging and longevity purposes, and in our patent formula Gancao Nurish-Yin (GCNY) decoction, all of the ingredients show antioxidant properties. However, in real clinical practice, extractions of herbs are rarely applied alone but are prescribed as integrated formula. In order to investigate whether GCNY possess anti-oxidation potential, we applied GCNY as a formula to treat rats in order to acquire medicated serum, which was then added on H2O2 (200 μM)-modeled human microglial cell line HMC-3 in comparison with its controls.
Project description:The Herbal Formula YYJD inhibit migration and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma cells, we aims to profile a comprehensive alternative polyadenylation (APA) dynamic pattern of Lung Adenocarcinoma Cells under YYJD treatment unsing 3T-seq method.
Project description:Cutaneous exposure to food antigen through impaired skin barrier has been shown to induce epicutaneous sensitization, and thereby cause IgE-mediated food allergy. We examined whether skin barrier impairment deteriorated food allergy symptoms in epicutaneously sensitized mice. To clarify the association between skin inflammation and food allergy symptoms, we analyzed gene expression at skin lesions using a GeneChip.
Project description:The Chinese herbal granule Tangshen Formula (TSF) has been proven to decrease proteinuria and improve estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) patients with albuminuria. Nevertheless, little was known on the underlying mechanisms of TSF on treating DN. We used microarrays to detail to explore the target genes of TSF in the treatment of DN.
Project description:This study profiled the epigenomes and transcriptomes of total nCD4T cell populations from adolescents with peanut-only (single food allergy- SA) and multi-food allergy (MA) at quiescence and following activation with anti-CD3/antiCD28
