| 1 | Controlled release and biocompatibility of polymer/titania nanotube array system on titanium implants显示文摘Bacterial infection and tissue inflammation are the major causes of early failure of titanium-based orthopedic implants;thus,surgical implants with tunable drug releasing properties represent an appealing way to address some of these problems of bacterial infection and tissue inflammation in early age of orthopedic implants.In this work,a hybrid surface system composed of biodegradable poly(lactic-coglycolic acid)(PLGA)and titania nanotubes(TNTs)has been successfully constructed on Ti implants with the aim of preventing bacterial infection via long-term drug release.By varying the size of the TNTs and the thickness of the polymer film,the drug release profile can be tuned to achieve the optimal therapeutic action throughout the treatment time.The size of TNTs plays a dominant role in the drug loading dose of TNTs/PLGA hybrid coatings.In this work,TNTs with an average size of 80 nm can achieve the largest loading dose.Depending on the polymer thickness,significant improvement in the drug release characteristics is attained,for instance,reduced burst release(from 84%to 27%)and overall release time extended from 5 to over 40 days.In addition,the PLGA layers may favor the proliferation and osteogenesis of MC3T3-E1 mouse cells at an earlier stage.Therefore,this TNT/PLGA hybrid surface system can be employed as an effective bioplatform for improving both self-antibacterial performance and biocompatibility of Ti-based biomaterials. | Tingting Wang Zhengyang Weng Xiangmei Liu Kelvin W.K.Yeung Haobo Pan Shuilin Wu | 2017 | Bioactive Materials2017,2,1: | 8 |
| 2 | Corrosion mechanism of micro-arc oxidation treated biocompatible AZ31 magnesium alloy in simulated body fluid显示文摘The rapid degradation of magnesium(Mg) based alloys has prevented their further use in orthopedic trauma fixation and vascular intervention,and therefore it is essential to investigate the corrosion mechanism for improving the corrosion resistance of these alloys. In this work, the effect of applied voltage on the surface morphology and the corrosion behavior of micro-arc oxidation(MAO) with different voltages were carried out to obtain biocompatible ceramic coatings on AZ31 Mg alloy. The effects of applied voltage on the surface morphology and the corrosion behavior of MAO samples in the simulated body fluid(SBF) were studied systematically. Scanning electron microscope(SEM) and X-ray diffractometer(XRD)were employed to characterize the morphologies and phase compositions of coating before and after corrosion. The results showed that corrosion resistance of the MAO coating obtained at 250 V was better than the others in SBF. The dense layer of MAO coating and the corrosion precipitation were the key factors for corrosion behavior. The corrosion of precipitation Mg(OH)2and the calcium phosphate(Ca–P) minerals on the surface of MAO coatings could enhance their corrosion resistance effectively. In addition, the mechanism of MAO coated Mg alloys was proposed. | Ying Li Fang Lu Honglong Li Wenjun Zhu Haobo Pan Guoxin Tan Yonghua Lao Chengyun Ning Guoxin Ni | 2014 | Progress in Natural Science:Materials International2014,24,5: | 7 |
| 3 | Hyaluronic acid facilitates bone repair effects of calcium phosphate cement by accelerating osteogenic expression显示文摘Calcium phosphate cements(CPC)are widely anticipated to be an optimum bone repair substitute due to its satisfied biocompatibility and degradability,suitable to be used in minimally invasive treatment of bone defects.However the clinical application of CPC is still not satisfied by its poor cohesiveness and mechanical properties,in particular its osteoinductivity.Hyaluronic acid reinforced calcium phosphate cements(HA/CPC)showed extroadinary potential not only enhancing the compressive strength of the cements but also significantly increasing its osteoinductivity.In our study,the compressive strength of HA/CPC increased significantly when the cement was added 1%hyaluronic acid(denoted as 1-HA/CPC).In the meantime,hyaluronic acid obviously promoted ALP activity,osteogenic related protein and mRNA expression of hBMSCs(human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells)in vitro,cement group of HA/CPC with 4%hyaluronic acid adding(denoted as 4-HA/CPC)showed optimal enhancement in hBMSCs differentiation.After being implanted in rat tibial defects,4-HA/CPC group exhibited better bone repair ability and bone growth promoting factors,comparing to pure CPC and 1-HA/CPC groups.The underlying biological mechanism of this stimulation for HA/CPC may be on account of higher osteogenic promoting factors secretion and osteogenic genes expression with hyaluronic acid incorporation.These results indicate that hyaluronic acid is a highly anticipated additive to improve physicochemical properties and osteoinductivity performance of CPCs for minimally invasive healing of bone defects. | Xu Cui Chengcheng Huang Zhizhen Chen Meng Zhang Chunyu Liu Kun Su Jianyun Wang Li Li Renxian Wang Bing Li Dafu Chen Changshun Ruan Deping Wang William W.Lu Haobo Pan | 2021 | Bioactive Materials2021,6,11: | 6 |
| 4 | Strontium modulates osteogenic activity of bone cement composed of bioactive borosilicate glass particles by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway显示文摘There is a need for synthetic grafts to reconstruct large bone defects using minimal invasive surgery.Our previous study showed that incorporation of Sr into bioactive borate glass cement enhanced the osteogenic capacity in vivo.However,the amount of Sr in the cement to provide an optimal combination of physicochemical properties and capacity to stimulate bone regeneration and the underlying molecular mechanism of this stimulation is yet to be determined.In this study,bone cements composed of bioactive borosilicate glass particles substituted with varying amounts of Sr(0 mol%to 12 mol%SrO)were created and evaluated in vitro and in vivo.The setting time of the cement increased with Sr substitution of the glass.Upon immersion in PBS,the cement degraded and converted more slowly to HA(hydroxyapatite)with increasing Sr substitution.The released Sr2+modulated the proliferation,differentiation,and mineralization of hBMSCs(human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells)in vitro.Osteogenic characteristics were optimally enhanced with cement(designated BG6Sr)composed of particles substituted with 6mol%SrO.When implanted in rabbit femoral condyle defects,BG6Sr cement supported better peri-implant bone formation and bone-implant contact,comparing to cements substituted with 0mol%or 9mol%SrO.The underlying mechanism is involved in the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs.These results indicate that BG6Sr cement has a promising combination of physicochemical properties and biological performance for minimally invasive healing of bone defects. | Xu Cui Yadong Zhang Jianyun Wang Chengcheng Huang Yudong Wang Hongsheng Yang Wenlong Liu Ting Wang Deping Wang Guocheng Wang Changshun Ruan Dafu Chen William W.Lu Wenhai Huang Mohamed N.Rahaman Haobo Pan | 2020 | Bioactive Materials2020,5,2: | 3 |
| 5 | Transverse mode instability mitigation in a high-power confined-doped fiber amplifier with good beam quality through seed laser control显示文摘In this work,a confined-doped fiber with the core/inner-cladding diameter of 40/250μm and a relative doping ratio of 0.75 is fabricated through a modified chemical vapor deposition method combined with the chelate gas deposition technique,and subsequently applied in a tandem-pumped fiber amplifier for high-power operation and transverse mode instability(TMI)mitigation.Notably,the impacts of the seed laser power and mode purity are preliminarily investigated through comparative experiments.It is found that the TMI threshold could be significantly affected by the seed laser mode purity.The possible mechanism behind this phenomenon is proposed and revealed through comprehensive comparative experiments and theoretical analysis.Finally,a maximum output power of 7.49 kW is obtained with the beam quality factor of approximately 1.83,which is the highest output power ever reported in a forward tandem-pumped confined-doped fiber amplifier.This work could provide a good reference and practical solution to improve the TMI threshold and realize high-power high-brightness fiber lasers. | Hanshuo Wu Haobo Li Yi An Ruixian Li Xiao Chen Hu Xiao Liangjin Huang Huan Yang Zhiping Yan Jinyong Leng Zhiyong Pan Pu Zhou | 2022 | High Power Laser Science and Engineering2022,10,6: | 3 |
| 6 | Akermanite used as an alkaline biodegradable implants for the treatment of osteoporotic bone defect显示文摘In osteoporosis scenario, tissue response to implants is greatly impaired by the deteriorated boneregeneration microenvironment. In the present study, a Mg-containing akermanite (Ak) ceramic wasemployed for the treatment of osteoporotic bone defect, based on the hypothesis that both beneficialions (e.g. Mg^2+ ect.) released by the implants and the weak alkaline microenvironment pH (μe-pH) itcreated may play distinct roles in recovering the abnormal bone regeneration by stimulating osteoblasticanabolic effects. The performance of Ak, b-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and Hardystone (Har) in healinga 3 mm bone defect on the ovariectomized (OVX) osteoporotic rat model was evaluated. Our resultsindicated that, there's more new bone formed in Ak group than in β-TCP or Har group at week 9. Theinitial me-pHs of Ak were significantly higher than that of the β-TCP and Blank group, and this weakalkaline condition was maintained till at least 9 weeks post-surgery. Increased osteoblastic activity whichwas indicated by higher osteoid secretion was observed in Ak group at week 4 to week 9. An intermediatelayer which was rich in phosphorus minerals and bound directly to the new forming bone wasdeveloped on the surface of Ak. In a summary, our study demonstrates that Ak exhibits a superior boneregenerative performance under osteoporosis condition, and might be a promising candidate for thetreatment of osteoporotic bone defect and fracture. | Wenlong Liu Ting Wang Xiaoli Zhao Xiuli Dan William W.Lu Haobo Pan | 2016 | Bioactive Materials2016,1,2: | 3 |
| 7 | Inhibition of Axinl in osteoblast precursor cells leads to defects in postnatal bone growth through suppressing osteoclast formation显示文摘Axinl is a negative regulator of β-catenin signaling and its role in osteoblast precursor cells remains undefined.In the present studies,we determined changes in postnatal bone growth by deletion of Axinl in osteoblast precursor cells and analyzed bone growth in newborn and postnatal Axin1 O5X mice and found that hypertrophic cartilage area was largely expanded in AxinlOSX KO mice.A larger number of chondrocytes and unabsorbed cartilage matrix were found in the bone marrow cavity of Axin1OSX KO mice.Osteoclast formation in metaphyseal and subchondral bone areas was significantly decreased,demonstrated by decreased TRAPpositive cell numbers,associated with reduction of MMP9-and cathepsin K-positive cell numbers in Axin1 O5X KO mice.OPG expression and the ratio of O p g to Rankl were significantly increased in osteoblasts of Axinl O5X KO mice.Osteoclast formation in primary bone marrow derived microphage(BMM)cells was significantly decreased when BMM cells were cultured with conditioned media(CM)collected from osteoblasts derived from Axin1OSX mice compared with BMM cells cultured with CM derived from WT mice.Thus,the loss of Axinl in osteoblast precursor cells caused increased OPG and the decrease in osteoclast formation,leading to delayed bone growth in postnatal Axin1°sx KO mice. | Bing Shu Yongjian Zhao Shitian Zhao Haobo Pan Rong Xie Dan Yi Ke Lu Junjie Yang Chunchun Xue Jian Huang Jing Wang Dongfeng Zhao Guozhi Xiao Yongjun Wang Di Chen | 2020 | Bone Research2020,8,3: | 3 |
| 8 | Stepwise 3D-spatio-temporal magnesium cationic niche: Nanocomposite scaffold mediated microenvironment for modulating intramembranous ossification显示文摘The fate of cells and subsequent bone regeneration is highly correlated with temporospatial coordination of chemical,biological,or physical cues within a local tissue microenvironment.Deeper understanding of how mammalian cells react to local tissue microenvironment is paramount important when designing next generation of biomaterials for tissue engineering.This study aims to investigate that the regulation of magnesium cationic(Mg^2+)tissue microenvironment is able to convince early-stage bone regeneration and its mechanism undergoes intramembranous ossification.It was discovered that moderate Mg^2+content niche(~4.11 mM)led to superior bone regeneration,while Mg^2+-free and strong Mg^2+content(~16.44 mM)discouraged cell adhesion,proliferation and osteogenic differentiation,thereby bone formation was rarely found.When magnesium ions diffused into free Mg zone from concentrated zone in late time point,new bone formation on free Mg zone became significant through intramembranous ossification.This study successfully demonstrates that magnesium cationic microenvironment serves as an effective biochemical cue and is able to modulate the process of bony tissue regeneration.The knowledge of how a Mg^2+cationic microenvironment intertwines with cells and subsequent bone formation gained from this study may provide a new insight to develop the next generation of tissuerepairing biomaterials. | Jie Shen Bo Chen Xinyun Zhai Wei Qiao Shuilin Wu Xuanyong Liu Ying Zhao Changshun Ruan Haobo Pan Paul K.Chu Kenneth M.C.Cheung Kelvin W.K.Yeung | 2021 | Bioactive Materials2021,6,2: | 2 |
| 9 | Fractal Design Boosts Extrusion-Based 3D Printing of Bone-Mimicking Radial-Gradient Scaffolds显示文摘Although extrusion-based three-dimensional(EB-3D)printing technique has been widely used in the complex fabrication of bone tissue-engineered scaffolds,a natural bone-like radial-gradient scaffold by this processing method is of huge challenge and still unmet.Inspired by a typical fractal structure of Koch snowflake,for the first time,a fractal-like porous scaffold with a controllable hierarchical gradient in the radial direction is presented via fractal design and then implemented by EB-3D printing.This radial-gradient structure successfully mimics the radially gradual decrease in porosity of natural bone from cancellous bone to cortical bone.First,we create a design-to-fabrication workflow with embedding the graded data on basis of fractal design into digital processing to instruct the extrusion process of fractal-like scaffolds.Further,by a combination of suitable extruded inks,a series of bone-mimicking scaffolds with a 3-iteration fractal-like structure are fabricated to demonstrate their superiority,including radial porosity,mechanical property,and permeability.This study showcases a robust strategy to overcome the limitations of conventional EB-3D printers for the design and fabrication of functionally graded scaffolds,showing great potential in bone tissue engineering. | Huawei Qu Zhenyu Han Zhigang Chen Lan Tang Chongjian Gao Kaizheng Liu Haobo Pan Hongya Fu Changshun Ruan | 2021 | Research2021,,1: | 2 |

| 11 | Osteogenic and anti-tumor Cu and Mn-doped borosilicate nanoparticles for syncretic bone repair and chemodynamic therapy in bone tumor treatment显示文摘Critical bone defects caused by extensive excision of malignant bone tumor and the probability of tumor recurrence due to residual tumor cells make malignant bone tumor treatment a major clinical challenge.The present therapeutic strategy concentrates on implanting bone substitutes for defect filling but suffers from failures in both enhancing bone regeneration and inhibiting the growth of tumor cells.Herein,Cu and Mn-doped borosilicate nanoparticles(BSNs)were developed for syncretic bone repairing and anti-tumor treatment,which can enhance bone regeneration through the osteogenic effects of Cu^(2+) and Mn^(3+) ions and meanwhile induce tumor cells apoptosis through the hydroxyl radicals produced by the Fenton-like reactions of Cu^(2+) and Mn^(3+) ions.In vitro study showed that both osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and angiogenesis of endothelial cells were promoted by BSNs,and consistently the critical bone defects of rats were efficiently repaired by BSNs through in vivo evaluation.Meanwhile,BSNs could generate hydroxyl radicals through Fenton-like reactions in the simulated tumor microenvironment,promote the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species,and eventually induce tumor cell apoptosis.Besides,subcutaneous tumors of mice were effectively inhibited by BSNs without causing toxic side effects to normal tissues and organs.Altogether,Cu and Mn-doped BSNs developed in this work performed dual functions of enhancing osteogenesis and angiogenesis for bone regeneration,and inhibiting tumor growth for chemodynamic therapy,thus holding a great potential for syncretic bone repairing and anti-tumor therapy. | Libin Pang Renliang Zhao Jing Chen Jingxin Ding Xiaochen Chen Wenwen Chai Xu Cui Xiaolin Li Deping Wang Haobo Pan | 2022 | Bioactive Materials2022,7,6: | 1 |
| 12 | Spontaneous immunomodulation and regulation of angiogenesis and osteogenesis by Sr/Cu-borosilicate glass (BSG) bone cement to repair critical bone defects显示文摘Injectable bone biomaterials like bone cement should be designed and fabricated with certain biological criteria,which include:1)recruitment and polarization of the macrophages from M1(pro-inflammatory)to M2(anti-inflammatory)phenotype,2)enhance vascularization,and 3)activate osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived stem cells to promote bone healing.So far,no injectable biomaterials could spontaneously regulate the entire bone healing process that involves inflammation,angiogenesis,and osteogenesis.Therefore,in this study,we designed bone cement comprised of strontium and copper-incorporated borosilicate glass(Sr/Cu-BSG)in the liquid phase of chitosan to modulate bone healing.In vitro studies showed that the controlled release of Sr and Cu ions up-regulated anti-inflammatory genes(IL-1Ra and TGF-β1)while down-regulating pro-inflammatory genes(IL-1βand IL-6)in macrophages at 3 days.Sr and Cu ions also increased the expressions of angiogenic genes(VEGF and bFGF)in HUVECs at 5 days and osteogenic genes(Runx-2,OCN,and OPN)in hBMSCs at 7,14,and 21 days.5Sr3Cu-BSG bone cement exhibited the best anti-inflammatory,angiogenic,and osteogenic properties among the bone cement groups with different Sr and Cu ratios.Short-term and long-term implantation of Sr/Cu-BSGs in femoral condylar bone defects of rats and rabbits confirmed the in vitro results,where the degradation rate of Sr/Cu-BSG matched the bone healing rate.Similar to in vitro,the 5Sr3Cu-BSG group also showed the highest bone formation in vivo.Excellent physical and chemical properties,along with its bone repairing ability,make the Sr/Cu-BSG bone cement a good candidate biomaterial for treating bone defects. | Shuaijie Li Liyan Zhang Chunyu Liu Jua Kim Kun Su Tingli Chen Limin Zhao Xiaomei Lu Hao Zhang Yinglin Cui Xu Cui Feng Yuan Haobo Pan | 2023 | Bioactive Materials2023,,5: | 1 |
| 13 | Geological Evidence and Characteristics of Activity of the Wuhe-Mingguang Section of Tancheng-Lujiang Fault Zone in Late Pleistocene显示文摘As the most influential strike-slip fault in East China,the Tancheng-Lujiang fault zone draws scholars attention for its strong seismic activity. Nevertheless,most research has been conducted along segments in Shandong Province and Bohai Bay where huge earthquakes occur frequently. Meanwhile,it is generally believed that segments lying to the south of Huaihe River have been inactive since the late Quaternary and thus it is incapable of generating moderate or strong earthquakes. However,these understandings about the Tancheng-Lujiang fault have been questioned by our recent work for part of the fault south to the Huaihe River. Based on interpretation of high-resolution satellite images,detailed field investigations near Wuhe county and Mingguang City in northern Anhui Province and elaborate microstructure analysis, we come to the conclusion that the Tancheng-Lujiang fault zone mainly consists of four branches and at least one should be active since the late Pleistocene for the Wuhe-Mingguang section. This segment is monopolized by dextral strike-slip motion in late Quaternary. Different from obvious faults in bed rocks or consolidated sediments,the latest activity trace in Quaternary loose sediment revealed by trench excavation is not obvious or even invisible to visual observation. According to our recent work and previous studies, we call for more attention to be paid to invisible faults in young sediment and also suggest that more research be conducted along this seemingly placid segment. | Shu Peng Fang Lianghao Zheng Yingping Lu Shuo Pan Haobo Song Fangmin Li Shengqiang | 2016 | Earthquake Research in China2016,30,4: | 1 |

| 16 | Programmed surface on poly(aryl-ether-ether-ketone) initiating immune mediation and fulfilling bone regeneration sequentially显示文摘The immune responses are involved in every stage after implantation but the reported immune-regulated materials only work at the beginning without fully considering the different phases of bone healing.Here,poly(aryl-ether-ether-ketone)(PEEK)is coated with a programmed surface,which rapidly releases interleukin-10(IL-10)in the first week and slowly delivers dexamethasone(DEX)up to 4 weeks.Owing to the synergistic effects of IL-10 and DEX,an aptly weak inflammation is triggered within the first week,followed by significant M2 polarization of macrophages and upregulation of the autophagy-related factors.The suitable immunomodulatory activities pave the way for osteogenesis and the steady release of DEX facilitates bone regeneration thereafter.The sequential immune-mediated process is also validated by an 8-week implementation on a rat model.This is the first attempt to construct implants by taking advantage of both immune-mediated modulation and sequential regulation spanning all bone regeneration phases,which provides insights into the fabrication of advanced biomaterials for tissue engineering and immunological therapeutics. | Lingxia Xie Guomin Wang Yuzheng Wu Qing Liao Shi Mo Xiaoxue Ren Liping Tong Wei Zhang Min Guan Haobo Pan Paul KChu Huaiyu Wang | 2021 | The Innovation2021,2,3: | 0 |
| 17 | Small-molecule amines:a big role in the regulation of bone homeostasis显示文摘Numerous small-molecule amines(SMAs)play critical roles in maintaining bone homeostasis and promoting bone regeneration regardless of whether they are applied as drugs or biomaterials.On the one hand,SMAs promote bone formation or inhibit bone resorption through the regulation of key molecular signaling pathways in osteoblasts/osteoclasts;on the other hand,owing to their alkaline properties as well as their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory features,most SMAs create a favorable microenvironment for bone homeostasis.However,due to a lack of information on their structure/bioactivity and underlying mechanisms of action,certain SMAs cannot be developed into drugs or biomaterials for bone disease treatment.In this review,we thoroughly summarize the current understanding of SMA effects on bone homeostasis,including descriptions of their classifications,biochemical features,recent research advances in bone biology and related regulatory mechanisms in bone regeneration.In addition,we discuss the challenges and prospects of SMA translational research. | Qian Zhang Jirong Yang Nan Hu Juan Liu Huan Yu Haobo Pan Di Chen Changshun Ruan | 2023 | Bone Research2023,11,3: | 0 |
| 18 | Key considerations on the development of biodegradable biomaterials for clinical translation of medical devices:With cartilage repair products as an example显示文摘With the interdisciplinary convergence of biology,medicine and materials science,both research and clinical translation of biomaterials are progressing at a rapid pace.However,there is still a huge gap between applied basic research on biomaterials and their translational products-medical devices,where two significantly different perspectives and mindsets often work independently and non-synergistically,which in turn significantly increases financial costs and research effort.Although this gap is well-known and often criticized in the biopharmaceutical industry,it is gradually widening.In this article,we critically examine the developmental pipeline of biodegradable biomaterials and biomaterial-based medical device products.Then based on clinical needs,market analysis,and relevant regulations,some ideas are proposed to integrate the two different mindsets to guide applied basic research and translation of biomaterial-based products,from the material and technical perspectives.Cartilage repair substitutes are discussed here as an example.Hopefully,this will lay a strong foundation for biomaterial research and clinical translation,while reducing the amount of extra research effort and funding required due to the dissonance between innovative basic research and commercialization pipeline. | Li Wang Xiaolei Guo Jiaqing Chen Zhen Zhen Bin Cao Wenqian Wan Yuandong Dou Haobo Pan Feng Xu Zepu Zhang Jianmei Wang Daisong Li Quanyi Guo Qing Jiang Yanan Du Jiakuo Yu Boon Chin Heng Qianqian Han Zigang Ge | 2022 | Bioactive Materials2022,7,3: | 0 |

| 20 | Intranuclear cardiac troponin I plays a functional role in regulating Atp2a2 expression in cardiomyocytes显示文摘In the past studies,it is shown that cardiac troponin I(cTnI,encoded by TNNI3),as a cytoplasmic protein,is an inhibitory subunit in troponin complex,and involves in cardiomyocyte diastolic regulation.Here,we assessed a novel role of cTnI as a nucleoprotein.Firstly,the nuclear translocation of cTnI was found in mouse,human fetuses and rat heart tissues.In addition,there were differences in percentage of intranuclear cTnI in different conditions.Based on weighted gene co-expression network analyses(WGCNA)and verification in cell experiments,a strong expression correlation was found between TNNI3 and Atp2a2,which encodes sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2t ATPase isoform 2a(SERCA2a),and involves in ATP hydrolysis and Ca2t transient.TNNI3 gain and loss caused Atpa2a2 increase/decrease in a dosedependent manner both in mRNA and protein levels,in vivo and in vitro.By using ChIP-sequence we demonstrated specific binding DNA sequences of cTnI were enriched in ATP2a2 promoter239we889 region and the specific binding sequence motif of cTnI was analyzed by software as'CCAT',which has been reported to be required for YY1 binding to the promoter region of YY1-related genes.Moreover,it was further verified that pcDNA3.1()-TNNI3 could express cTnI proteins and increase the promoter activity of Atp2a2 through luciferase report assay.In the end,we evaluated beat frequencies,total ATP contents,Ca2t transients in TNNI3-siRNA myocardial cells.These findings indicated,for the first time,cTnI may regulate Atp2a2 in cardiomyocytes as a co-regulatory factor and participate in the regulation of intracellular Ca ions. | Qian Lu Bo Pan Haobo Bai Weian Zhao Lingjuan Liu Gu Li Ruimin Liu Tiewei Lv Xupei Huang Xi Li Jie Tian | 2022 | Genes & Diseases2022,9,6: | 0 |
