The Endothelial CXCR Family in Vascular Health and Disease

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endothelial cells (ECs) form the dynamic interface between blood and tissue, serving as key regulators of vascular homeostasis, inflammation, and repair. Among the molecular systems governing endothelial behavior, the C‐X‐C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR) family—originally characterized in immunology for its roles in leukocyte trafficking and ...

Black phosphorus‐based photothermal disruption of cancer‐associated fibroblast barriers and tumor‐associated macrophage targeting to enhance anti‐PD‐L1 immunotherapy in triple‐negative breast cancer

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
MBB modulates the TNBC tumor microenvironment by targeting TAM/CXCL1 and facilitates anti‐PD‐L1 therapy by disrupting CAF barriers via its photothermal effect. This combined strategy subsequently enhances the efficacy of PD‐L1 mAb and suppresses TNBC progression, metastasis, and recurrence.

Molecular Functions and Drug Prediction of MMP1 and TGFBR2 in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
MMP1 and TGFBR2 were validated by machine learning and external datasets as the candidate genes. Dexamethasone showed strong binding affinity to MMP1 (−7.72 kcal/mol) and TGFBR2 (−7.27 kcal/mol) in docking studies. Knockdown of MMP1 repressed the malignant phenotypes of NPC cells.

Sodium Ions Affect GPR17 Conformational States and Functionality

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sodium is an allosteric modulator of several class‐A GPCR regulating active versus inactive conformation state and may be a critical issue for the optimization of crystallization procedures. Herein, the role of Na+ in the regulation of GPR17 conformational states was studied through MD simulations of GPR17 wild‐type and mutated on two ...

Interleukin(IL)-36α and IL-36γ Induce Proinflammatory Mediators from Human Colonic Subepithelial Myofibroblasts

Frontiers in Medicine, 2015
Background: Interleukin (IL)-36 cytokines are recently reported member of the IL-1 cytokine family. However, there is little information regarding the association between IL-36 cytokines and gut inflammation.

The chemokine receptor‐like fourth extracellular loop of the apelin receptor differentially regulates apelin and elabela binding and signalling

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Apelin and Elabela are endogenous ligands of the apelin receptor (apelin receptor/APJ), a GPCR involved in cardiovascular regulation and body fluid homeostasis. The human receptor contains a conserved disulfide bridge linking the N‐terminal domain to extracellular loop 3 (ECL3) via Cys19 and Cys281, forming a structural ...

Zeb2 Controls Retinal Physiological and Pathological Angiogenesis by Regulating Astrocyte Proliferation and Differentiation

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
During development, the oxygen‐sensitive transcription factor Zeb2 restrains astrocyte proliferation and maturation to ensure balanced retinal angiogenesis. In disease, it promotes the neurotoxic A1 astrocyte phenotype and inflammation, thereby promoting reparative revascularization over pathological neovascularization.

Regenerative Endodontics in Teeth With Irreversible Pulpitis: A Scoping Review

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) have been widely used to manage a range of pulpal pathologies, particularly in immature permanent teeth. The development of bioactive calcium silicate–based materials has led to a paradigm shift in vital pulp therapy (VPT) and REPs.

ANGIOGENIC AND ANGIOSTATIC CHEMOKINES LEVEL IN NORMAL SYNOVIAL FLUID

Медицинская иммунология, 2014
Chemokines are believed to play an important role in immunopathogenesis of different joint diseases. One of important problems in studies of synovial fluid is determination of normal level of chemokines from control patients.

The Interplay of M1 Macrophages and Dental Pulp Stem Cells Promotes Angiogenesis Through IL‐8‐Dependent VEGF Regulation: An In Vitro Study

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dental pulp inflammation triggers immune responses involving macrophages and dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), which interact to regulate angiogenesis essential for tissue repair. M1 pro‐inflammatory macrophages predominate early in pulpitis, and clarifying their angiogenic role is vital in identifying inflammatory regenerative ...
