MicroRNA‑146a/NAPDH oxidase4 decreases reactive oxygen species generation and inflammation in a diabetic nephropathy model.

abstract：:We extracted cucurmosin (CUS) from the sarcocarp of Cucrubita moschata (pumpkin). Recently, a number of studies have indicated that CUS has cytotoxic properties and induces apoptosis in a number of human tumor cells. However, the detailed mechanisms are largely unknown. The aim of this study was to confirm CUS's antic...
