Cancer stem-like cells (CSC) drive cancer progression and recurrence. Self-renewal expansion of CSC is achieved through symmetric cell division, yet how external stimuli affect intracellular regulatory programs division modes stemness remains obscure. Here, we report that the hTERThigh prostate exhibit properties, including a stem cell-associated gene expression signature, long-term tumor-propagating capacity epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. In promoting self-renewal cells, WNT3a...

This study is aimed to investigate the applicability of poloxamer 407 (P407) and 188 (P188)-based temperature-sensitive in situ hydrogel (TSHG) sustained delivery hydrophilic macromolecules following intramuscular administration. Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) with molecular weight 5-, 20-, 40-kDa were used as model drugs, which can represent common size range macromolecular drugs using TSHG. The correlation between level poloxamers thermogelling transition temperatures (Tsol–gel) was...

Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common associated with a poor prognosis. Effective targeted therapy alone or in combination for treating advanced CRC remains to be major clinical challenge. Here, we propose therapeutic efficacy and molecular mechanism underlying RC48, FDA-approved anti-HER2 antibody conjugate via cleavable linker microtubule inhibitor monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), either gemcitabine (GEM) various models of HER2-positive CRC. Our findings demonstrated...

Coccidiosis is one of the major parasitic diseases in commercial broiler industry. Probiotics can protect poultry against Eimeria infection. However, mechanisms are not fully known. Therefore, Lactobacillus plantarum P8 (P8) was used to investigate its anti-coccidial property and mechanism. Five hundred broilers were allocated five treatments: control diet (NC), + infection (IC), containing 1 × 10 7 cfu/g (P8L), 8 (P8H), Diclazuril (DIC). At day 14, all treatments except NC inoculated with...

Gut microbiota can digest and ferment feed into metabolites to influence the meat quality. Probiotics are used regulate gut microbiota. In this study, a total of 360 broilers were assigned 4 treatments (10 per cage): control (Con), low dose Lactiplantibacillus plantarum HW1 (Lp_L), medium Lp (Lp_M) high (Lp_H) for 42-day experimental period. Results showed that improved growth performance, carcass traits, breast quality, also influenced fatty acids composition, including decrease...

The anticancer effect of baicalein has been known for a number years. However, its anti-metastatic and associated mechanisms in colorectal cancer (CRC) remain unclear. present study investigated the hypothesis that treatment with may inhibit proliferation, motility invasion human CRC cell lines via regulation protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway. Baicalein was demonstrated to significantly migration cells (P=0.01). Additionally, after 24 h, expression levels matrix metalloproteinase-2...

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide and 5-year overall survival rate remains poor. Protein kinase, membrane associated tyrosine/threonine (PKMYT1) overexpressed in several cancers participate tumor progression. However, mechanism PKMYT1 ESCC unclear.The objective our study was to demonstrate expression role ESCC. We detected patients analysed correlation with time disease-free time. Then we lines immortalized human esophageal...

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most common malignancies in world. Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) have been used as a first-line treatment for patients harboring with EGFR mutations advanced NSCLC. Nevertheless, drug resistance after continuous and long-term chemotherapies considerably limits its clinical efficacy. Therefore, it great importance to develop new chemotherapeutic agents strategies conquer resistance. FGFC1 (Fungi...
