Abstract Regulation of excessive inflammation and impaired cell proliferation is crucial for healing diabetic wounds. Although plant‐to‐mammalian regulation offers effective approaches chronic wound management, the development a potent plant‐based therapeutic presents challenges. This study aims to validate efficacy turmeric‐derived nanoparticles (TDNPs) loaded with natural bioactive compounds. TDNPs can alleviate oxidative stress, promote fibroblast migration, reprogram macrophage...
When tissues are injured and blood vessels clotted, the local environment becomes ischemic – lack of adequate supply oxygen glucose delivered to surrounding cells. The heat shock protein-90 (Hsp90) family proteins protect from various environmental insults participate in damaged tissue repair. Here we report discovery a novel ischemia-responsive mechanism by which two Hsp90 isoforms, Hsp90α Hsp90β, work together promote cell motility wounded skin accelerate wound closure. We demonstrate that...
Abstract Loss of airway epithelial integrity contributes significantly to asthma pathogenesis. Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) may have dual immunoregulatory roles. In inflammatory disorders the bowel, long isoform TSLP (lfTSLP) promotes inflammation while short (sfTSLP) inhibits inflammation. We hypothesize that lfTSLP house dust mite (HDM)-induced barrier dysfunction and synthetic sfTSLP can prevent these effects. vitro , function was assessed by monitoring transepithelial electrical...
Both intracellular and extracellular heat shock protein-90 (Hsp90) family proteins (α β) have been shown to support tumour progression. The tumour-supporting activity of the Hsp90 is attributed their N-terminal ATPase-driven chaperone function. What molecular entity determines function secreted distinction between Hsp90α Hsp90β was unclear. Here we demonstrate that CRISPR/Case9 knocking out nullifies cells’ ability migrate, invade metastasize without affecting cell survival growth. Knocking...
Abstract Rapidly growing tumours in vivo often outgrow their surrounding available blood supply, subjecting themselves to a severely hypoxic microenvironment. Understanding how tumour cells adapt survive hypoxia may help develop new treatments of the tumours. Given limited perfusion enlarging tumour, whatever factor(s) that allows likely comes from or its associated stromal cells. In this report, we show HIF-1α-overexpressing breast cancer cells, MDA-MB-231, secrete heat shock...
