TLDR
The results suggest that abnormal regulation of selenium metabolism and apoptosis through the MYC mediated signaling pathway contributes to the pathogenesis of KBD, but the relationship between apoptosis gene and seenium gene was not found.

Recent advances in the research of an endemic osteochondropathy in China: Kashin-Beck disease

TL;DR: Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is an endemic chronic osteochondral disease, which has a high prevalence and morbidity in the Eastern Siberia of Russia, and in the broad diagonal, northern-east to southern-west belt in China and North Korea.
Journal ArticleDOI

Systems Biology of Selenium and Complex Disease.

TL;DR: Recent progress in large-scale and systematic analyses of the relationship between selenium status or selenoproteins and several complex diseases are reviewed, mainly including population-based cohort studies and meta-analyses, genetic association studies, and some other omics-based studies.

Selenium Nanoparticles Dispersed in Phytochemical Exert Anti-Inflammatory Activity by Modulating Catalase, GPx1, and COX-2 Gene Expression in a Rheumatoid Arthritis Rat Model.

TL;DR: The results collectively suggest that SeNPs dispersed in CA can be an effective therapeutic agent for inflammatory disorders like acute gouty arthritis.

CRISPR/Cas9 mediated generation of stable chondrocyte cell lines with targeted gene knockouts; analysis of an aggrecan knockout cell line

TL;DR: A stable RCS cell line (RCS Cas9) expressing the nuclease Cas9 that enables the editing of any target gene or non-coding RNA by simple transfection with a guide RNA is generated, providing new understanding of aggrecan function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selenium and Iodine Levels in Subjects with Kashin-Beck Disease: a Meta-analysis.

TL;DR: The levels of selenium, but not iodine were significantly lower in subjects with KBD than that in healthy controls, and Selenium deficiency might be associated with the risk of KBD.

Statistical analysis of real-time PCR data

TL;DR: Data quality control and analysis procedures presented here provide statistical elements for the estimation of the relative expression of genes using real-time PCR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distinct BH3 domains either sensitize or activate mitochondrial apoptosis, serving as prototype cancer therapeutics.

TL;DR: A two-class model for BH3 domains is supported: BID-like domains that "activate" BAX, BAK and BAD-like domain that "sensitize" by occupying the pocket of antiapoptotic members.
Journal ArticleDOI

Apoptotic signaling by c-MYC

TL;DR: An overview of the function of the tumor suppressor gene product p53 in the c-MYC-mediated apoptotic response and how c- MYC amplifies the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway and triggers and/or amplifying the death receptor pathways is provided.

Kashin–Beck Osteoarthropathy in Rural Tibet in Relation to Selenium and Iodine Status

TL;DR: In areas where severe selenium deficiency is endemic, iodine deficiency is a risk factor for Kashin-Beck disease and low urinary iodine, high serum thyrotropin, and low serum thyroxine-binding globulin values were associated with an increased risk of Kashin -Beck disease, but a low serum seenium concentration was not.

Selenium and Inflammation: Underlying Anti-inflammatory Mechanisms

TL;DR: In patients with severe sepsis, characterized by an increase in reactive oxygen species and low endogenous anti-oxidative capacity, as well as in patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome, Se supplementation may reduce mortality and improve the clinical outcome, respectively.
