To investigate the therapeutic mechanism of action transplanted stem cells and develop exosome-based nanotherapeutics for ischemic stroke, we assessed effect exosomes (Exos) produced by human umbilical cord mesenchymal (hUMSCs) on microglia-mediated neuroinflammation after stroke. Our results found that injected hUMSC-Exos were able to access site damage could be internalized both

Tumor initiating cells or cancer stem (CSCs) play an important role in the initiation, development, metastasis, and recurrence of tumors. However, traditional therapies have limited effects against CSCs targeting these is crucial when developing new therapeutic strategies cancer. One potentially targetable factor CD47, a member immunoglobulin superfamily. This protein acts as anti-phagocytic "don't eat me" signal often found expressed by cells, particularly CSCs. CD47 functions activating...

Glioblastoma (GBM), one of the most malignant brain tumors in world, has limited treatment options and a dismal survival rate. Effective safe disease-modifying drugs for glioblastoma are urgently needed. Here, we identified small molecule, Molephantin (EM-5), effectively penetrated blood-brain barrier (BBB) demonstrated notable antitumor effects against GBM with good safety profiles both vitro vivo. Mechanistically, EM-5 not only inhibits proliferation invasion cells but also induces cell...

This study investigated whether and how triacylglycerol (TAG) may serve as a precursor for 3-monochloro-1,2-propanediol (3-MCPD) fatty acid ester formation using tristearoylglycerol (TSG). TSG was reacted with inorganic chloride compounds including NaCl, KCl, FeCl2, CuCl2, ZnCl2, FeCl3 dry HCl, or organic chlorine compound lindane at different temperatures. Only FeCl2 were able to form 3-MCPD esters from TSG. Further electron spin resonance (ESR) determination of TSG, Fe2(SO4)3...

Bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) death after transplantation is a serious obstacle impacting on the outcome of cell therapy for cerebral infarction. This study was aimed to investigate whether modification BMSCs with Hif-1α could enhance survival implanted BMSCs. were isolated from Wistar rats, and infected Hif-1α-GFP lentiviral vector or siRNA. The modified exposed oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) condition, cellular viability apoptosis then assessed. An inhibitor AMPK (compound C) used...

Formation of 3-monochloropropanediol (3-MCPD) esters from monostearoyl glycerol (MSG) was investigated under high temperature and low moisture conditions. Different organic inorganic chlorides, including lindane, KCl, CaCl2, NaCl, MgCl2, AlCl3, CuCl2, MnCl2, SnCl2, ZnCl2, FeCl3, were evaluated for their potential to react with MSG form 3-MCPD glycidyl at 120 240 °C using a UPLC-Q-TOF MS analysis. The results indicated that different chlorine compounds differed in capacity formed products...

Abstract Three medium‐ and long‐chain triacylglycerols (MLCT) with different contents of medium‐chain fatty acids (MCFA) (10% to 30%, w/w) were prepared evaluated for their anti‐obesity potential in C57BL/6J mice. The group fed a high fat diet MLCT containing 30% (w/w) MCFA showed significantly decreased body weight mass ( P < 0.05) relative the control mice an obesity‐inducing rapeseed oil diet. In addition, serum parameters including triacylglycerols, total cholesterol, glucose,...

Pyroptosis, especially microglial pyroptosis, may play an important role in central nervous system pathologies, including traumatic brain injury (TBI). Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), such as human umbilical cord MSCs (hUMSCs), has been a focus treatment. Recently, have found to many diseases by regulating the pyroptosis pathway. However, effect MSC transplantation on following TBI remains unknown. Tumor necrosis factor α stimulated gene 6/protein (TSG-6), potent...
