Steroid Receptor Coactivator‐1 Drives Tumor‐Associated Macrophage Reprogramming by Mediating MMP12 Transcription in Pancreatic Cancer Perineural Invasion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Steroid receptor coactivator‐1 (SRC‐1) reprograms tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) via signal transducer and activator of transcription 1(STAT1)‐mediated matrix metallopeptidase 12 (MMP12) transcription to drive perineural invasion (PNI) in pancreatic cancer.

Strategic Design of Aptamer‐Guided Aggregation‐Induced Emission Nanoparticles for Targeted Photodynamic Therapy in Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents MF3Ec‐TBPP nanoparticles for targeted photodynamic therapy of Luminal A breast cancer. These nanoparticles combine an AIE‐based photosensitizer with an aptamer. Tests show they effectively inhibit tumor growth while protecting healthy tissue via aggregation and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, indicating potential for improved ...

HIFU‐Driven Targeted Pyroptosis Therapy in Basal‐Like Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a HIFU‐driven pyroptosis strategy for BLBC treatment. Combining HIFU with platelet‐membrane hybridized liposomes encapsulating mitoxantrone enhances tumor targeting and efficacy. The synergistic treatment modulates key epigenetic regulators and activates the pyroptotic pathway through ROS generation and inflammasome signaling ...

3D models of lamprey progesterone receptor complexed with progesterone, 7α-hydroxy-progesterone and 15α-hydroxy-progesterone

Steroids, 2011
Sea lamprey, a basal vertebrate, contains a progesterone receptor [PR]. An unusual property of lamprey is that gonadotropin-releasing hormone induces synthesis of 15α-hydroxy-progesterone [15α-OH-P] instead of progesterone. There also is indirect evidence for 7α-OH-P in lamprey serum. To determine if there is a structural basis for the binding of 7α-OH-

Serine/Threonine Kinase 33 as a Novel Target of Bufalin in Treatment of Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identified that STK33 may serve as a target of Bufalin, which induces the degradation of STK33 and inhibits the growth of TNBC. Furthermore, STK33 is highly expressed in TNBC and enhances TNBC cell proliferation by phosphorylating and stabilizing CCAR1.

Progesterone treatment reduces neuroinflammation, oxidative stress and brain damage and improves long-term outcomes in a rat model of repeated mild traumatic brain injury

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2015
Repeated mild traumatic brain injuries, such as concussions, may result in cumulative brain damage, neurodegeneration and other chronic neurological impairments.

Disruption of Gut Microbiota‐Mediated De Novo NAD+ Synthesis Contributes to the Development of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that patients with PCOS exhibit altered gut microbial profiles, and FMT from PCOS patients induces PCOS‐like symptoms in mice. Specifically, gut dysbiosis reduces 3‐HAA levels in the context of PCOS. Administration of 3‐HAA to mice alleviates PCOS by promoting de novo NAD+ synthesis.

Progesterone synthesis in the nervous system: implications for myelination and myelin repair

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2012
Progesterone is well known as a female reproductive hormone and in particular for its role in uterine receptivity, implantation and the maintenance of pregnancy. However, neuroendocrine research over the past decades has established that progesterone has

Progesterone promotes maternal–fetal tolerance by reducing human maternal T‐cell polyfunctionality and inducing a specific cytokine profile

European Journal of Immunology, 2015
Progesterone is a steroid hormone essential for the maintenance of human pregnancy, and its actions are thought to include promoting maternal immune tolerance of the semiallogenic fetus.

Developing a Personalized Cancer Nanovaccine Using Coxsackievirus‐Reprogrammed Cancer Cell Membranes for Enhanced Anti‐Tumor Immunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A personalized nanovaccine combining PLGA‐encapsulated heat‐inactivated CVB3 and membranes from CVB3‐infected breast cancer cells stimulates potent antitumor immunity. It reduces immunosuppressive markers, enhances immune activation, and improves survival in vivo.
