Diasporas and democratization in the post-communist world
Get PDFIf diaspora communities are socialized with democratic values in Western societies, they could be expected to be sympathetic to the democratization of their home countries. However, there is a high degree of variation in their behavior. Contrary to the predominant understanding in the literature that diasporas act in exclusively nationalist ways, this article argues that they do engage with the democratization of their home countries. Various challenges to the sovereignty of their homelands explain whether diasporas involve with procedural or liberal aspects of democratization. Drawing evidence from the activities of the Ukrainian, Serbian, Albanian and Armenian diasporas after the end of communism, I argue that unless diasporas are linked to home countries that enjoy both international legal and domestic sovereignty, they will involve only with procedural aspects of democratization. Diasporas filter international pressure to democratize post-communist societies by utilizing democratic procedures to advance unresolved nationalist goals
Knockout of circRNA single stranded interacting protein 1 (circRBMS1) played a protective role in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury though inhibition of miR-2355-3p/Mammalian Sterile20-like kinase 1 (MST1) axis
No full textEvidence suggests circRBMS1 regulates mRNA to mediate cell apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress in different diseases. MST1 is reported to be the target and activator of apoptosis-related molecules and signaling pathways. Hence, the present study aims to investigate the role of circ-RBMS1/miR-2355-3p/MST1 in the development of I/R injury. In vitro experiments showed increased circ-RBMS1 and decreased miR-2355-3p in H/R-induced HCMs. CircRBMS1 served as a sponge for miR-2355-3p and miR-2355-3p targeted MST1. Furthermore, knockout of circRBMS1 attenuated cell apoptosis, oxidized stress, and inflammation in H/R-induced HCMs. In vivo experiments indicated circRBMS1 knockdown attenuated cardiac function damage, cell apoptosis, oxidative stress injury and inflammatory response through miR-2355-3p/MST1 axis in mice. In summary, these results demonstrated circRBMS1 played a protective role in myocardial I/R injury though inhibition of miR-2355-3p/MST1 axis. It might provide a new therapeutic target for cardiac I/R injury.</p
