    Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a syndrome in which kidney function reduces suddenly. This syndrome which includes both structural changes and loss of function may lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Kidney regeneration capacity depends on the cell type and severity of the injury. However, novel studies indicated that regeneration mostly relies on endogenous tubular cells that survive after AKI. Regenerative pharmacology requires a great knowledge of fundamental processes involved in the development and endogenous regeneration, leading to a necessity for investigating related signaling molecules in this process. Regulatory non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) including microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs) are currently known as critical regulators of gene expression in various cellular processes, and this regulatory function is also observed in nephrotic tissue, following damaging insults, which may promote or inhibit the progression of damage. Thus, studying signaling molecules and pathways involved in renal injury and repair results in a comprehensive prospect of these processes. Moreover, these studies can lead to new opportunities for discovering and enhancing therapeutic approaches to renal diseases. Herein, we review studies dealing with the role of different signaling pathways involved in renal injury. Besides, we discuss how some signaling pathways are useful for the repair process following AKI.

    Abstract Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common as well as the most fatal primary malignant tumor of the central nervous system (CNS), which still lacks a definitive cure. 5-FU is an anti-metabolite anti-cancer agent which has shown promising results for GBM treatment. Resveratrol (Res) is a phytochemical anti-oxidant that has also been effective in suppressing the progression of GBM. The combination of 5-FU and Res has been studied in a variety of cancers, but no study has assessed this combination in GBM. In this study, we investigated how 5-FU and Res, in combination and alone, may affect the growth and apoptosis of GBM cells and also the potential of TRPM2 and β-catenin as the mediator of their effects. U87 cells were cultured as the in vitro model. MTT assay was used for measuring cellular growth, and RT-qPCR was used to measure the level of caspase-3, TRPM2, and β-catenin; caspase-3 level served as the indicator of apoptotic rate. 5-FU and Res, in combination and alone, suppressed the growth while promoting the apoptosis of U87 cells; these effects were significantly greater when they were used in combination. RT-qPCR showed downregulation of TRPM-2 and β-catenin in response to this combination, which suggested that these two molecules may mediate the cited anti-oncogenic effects. In conclusion, our study confirmed the synergism between 5-FU and Res in suppressing the progression of GBM and suggested the putative axis of TRPM2/ β-catenin as the downstream mediator of this therapeutic regime. Future studies may be able to approve the eligibility of this therapeutic regime for GBM treatment and also the underlying mechanism.

    Abstract Goat milk, like cow milk, needs some modifications to be used as the sole source of nutrition during early infancy. For goat milk to be more like human milk and more nutritionally complete, sugar, vitamins and minerals need to be added to it and for reduction of renal solute load, it needs to be diluted. To prevent megaloblastic anemia in infants fed exclusively on goat milk, folic acid should be supplied either by adding it to goat milk or by an oral folic acid supplement. In fortification of milk products, thermal processing, fermentation, and species differences in milk folate bioavailability are three additional factors that should be considered besides absolute difference in folate concentration between goat and human milk. Whether different feeding regimes (e.g., iron and folate content of diets) influence milk folate content needs to be elucidated by more research. Our findings showed that fermented goat milk during anemia recovery can be improve antioxidant status, protection from oxidative damage to biomolecules, protective effects on testis, improve Fe and skeletal muscle homeostasis as well as improve cardiovascular health. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: To be used as part of a postweaning nutritionally well‐balanced diet, fermented goat milk is most likely an excellent source of nutrition for the human.

    Abstract Stroke has been emerged as one of major health problems for women worldwide. Increasing of knowledge in this field has provided new data in this area which contribute to finding of new risk factors and could improve stroke treatment. A large number studies indicated a variety of risk factors including sex, age, race, smoking, diabetes, and physical inactivity could be involved in stroke in women. The understanding of various aspects involved in women stroke including risk factors, outcomes, stroke recovery, and prevention could provide new therapeutic platforms which could likely lead to better treatment in women stroke. Diagnosis is one of important steps in stroke therapy. It has been showed that a variety of biomarkers such as microRNAs (miRNAs), tPA, and von willebrand factor could be used as therapeutic and diagnostic biomarkers in stroke therapy. Here, we summarized various aspects of stroke in women which could help to recognition risk factors, outcomes, care, treatment, and novel biomarkers involve in treatment of stroke. J. Cell.

    Abstract MicroRNAs (miRs, miRNAs) are known to have a part in various human illnesses, such as those related to the heart. One particular miRNA, miR-155, has been extensively studied and has been found to be involved in hematopoietic lineage differentiation, immunity, viral infections, inflammation, as well as vascular remodeling. These processes have all been connected to cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure, diabetic heart disease, coronary artery disease, and abdominal aortic aneurysm. The impacts of miR-155 depend on the type of cell it is acting on and the specific target genes involved, resulting in different mechanisms of disease. Although, the exact part of miR-155 in cardiovascular illnesses is yet not fully comprehended, as some studies have shown it to promote the development of atherosclerosis while others have shown it to prevent it. As a result, to comprehend the underlying processes of miR-155 in cardiovascular disorders, further thorough study is required. It has been discovered that exosomes that could be absorbed by adjacent or distant cells, control post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression by focusing on mRNA. Exosomal miRNAs have been found to have a range of functions, including participating in inflammatory reactions, cell movement, growth, death, autophagy, as well as epithelial-mesenchymal transition. An increasing amount of research indicates that exosomal miRNAs are important for cardiovascular health and have a major role in the development of a number of cardiovascular disorders, including pulmonary hypertension, atherosclerosis, acute coronary syndrome, heart failure, and myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Herein the role of miR-155 and its exosomal form in heart diseases are summarized.

    Abstract Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic, severe disabling neuropsychiatric disorder whose pathophysiology is not yet well defined. Generally, the symptom onset occurs during pre-adult life and affects subjects in different life aspects, including professional and social relationships. Although robust evidence indicates the presence of genetic factors in the etiopathology of OCD, the entirely mechanisms are not totally clarified. Thus, the possible interactions between genes and environmental risk factors mediated by epigenetic mechanisms should be sought. Therefore, we provide a review of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms related to OCD with a deep focus on the regulation of critical genes of the central nervous system seeking possible potential biomarkers.
