EXOSOMES DERIVED FROM MICRORNA-138-5P-OVEREXPRESSING BONE MARROW-DERIVED MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS CONFER NEUROPROTECTION TO ASTROCYTES FOLLOWING ISCHEMIC STROKE VIA INHIBITION OF LCN2

Exosomes derived from microRNA-138-5p-overexpressing bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells confer neuroprotection to astrocytes following ischemic stroke via inhibition of LCN2

Abstract Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are implicated in the progression of ischemic stroke (IS) and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)-derived exosomes play a role in IS therapy.Herein we hypothesized that the BMSCs-derived exosomes containing overexpressed miR-138-5p could protect the astrocytes following IS involved with lipocali

Unacylated ghrelin rapidly modulates lipogenic and insulin signaling pathway gene expression in metabolically active tissues of GHSR deleted mice.

There is increasing evidence that unacylated ghrelin (UAG) improves insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis; however, the mechanism for this activity is not fully understood since a UAG receptor has not been discovered.To assess potential mechanisms of UAG action in vivo, we examined rapid effects of UAG on catherine lansfield ombre rainbow clo
