    Abstract

    LncRNA MEG3 Ameliorates NiO Nanoparticles-Induced Pulmonary Inflammatory Damage via Suppressing the p38 Mitogen Activated Protein Kinases Pathway

    Wistar rats were treated with nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) suspensions by intratracheal instillation twice-weekly for nine weeks. A549 cells were treated with NiO NPs suspensions for 24 hours.

    Abstract

    A Novel circ_MACF1/miR-942-5p/TGFBR2 Axis Regulates the Functional Behaviors and Drug Sensitivity in Gefitinib-Resistant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells

    Scientists established gefitinib-resistant NSCLC cells. The levels of circ_MACF1, microRNA-942-5p, and transforming growth factor beta receptor 2 were gauged by quantitative real-time PCR or western blot.
