Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) are prominent components of tumor microenvironment (TME) and capable promoting cancer progression. However, the mechanisms for formation M2-like TAMs remain enigmatic. Here, we show that lactate is a pivotal oncometabolite in TME drives macrophage M2-polarization to promote breast proliferation, migration, angiogenesis. In addition, identified activation ERK/STAT3, major signaling molecules pathway, deepens our molecular understanding how educates TAMs....

Biodegradable cationic nanoparticles have promising application as a gene delivery system. In this article, heparin−polyethyleneimine (HPEI) nanogels were prepared, and these developed nonviral vector. The transfection efficiency of HPEI was comparable with that PEI25K, while the cytotoxicity lower than PEI2K much PEI25K in vitro. These also had better blood compatibility PEI25K. After intravenous administration, degraded, degradation products excreted through urine. plasmid expressing...

Abstract Phage peptide display is a powerful technique for discovery of various target-specific ligands. However, target-unrelated peptides can often be obtained and cause ambiguous results. Peptide PB-TUP has been isolated repeatedly in our laboratory on different targets we conducted research phage to investigate their binding properties rate propagation. ELISA recovery assay demonstrated that had significant superior affinity polystyrene solid surface compared with control clones. In this...

The expression level of folate receptor alpha (FRα) is located highly rate in ovarian cancer though it remained absent normal tissues. This tumor restricted profile makes FRα a promising target for therapy and diagnosis. In this research we report binding peptide C7(Met-His-Thr-Ala-Pro-Gly-Trp-Gly-Tyr-Arg-Leu-Ser) discovered by phage display showed specific to expressing cells cell ELISA flow cytometry. Tumor targeting ability C7 was proved vivo both homing experiment fluorescence imaging....

B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a highly plasma cell-selective protein expressed on malignant cells of patients with multiple myeloma (MM), and it defined therapeutic target. Major histocompatibility complex class I-related chain A (MICA) frequently in lymphoproliferative malignancies including MM. MICA activates natural killer (NK) costimulates T by interaction its immunoreceptor NK cell receptor G2D (NKG2D). Nonetheless, during full-blown MM, tumor promote efficient shedding, which...

Background Schistosomiasis remains a major public health problem in China. The endemic areas are located the lake and marshland regions of southern China, particularly along middle low reach Yangtze River. Spatial analytical techniques often used epidemiology to identify spatial clusters disease regions. This study assesses distribution schistosomiasis explores high-risk Hubei Province, China provide guidance on control Methods In this study, autocorrelation methodologies, including global...

Cluster of differentiation 24 (CD24) is a specific surface marker involved in the tumorigenesis and progression hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, all reported anti-CD24 antibodies are murine ones with inevitable immunogenicity. To address this, method using both molecular structure docking-based complementarity determining region (CDR) grafting was employed for humanization. After xenogeneic CDR into human antibody, three types canonical residues (in VL/VH interface core, loop...

Triptolide, a major active component of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F (TWHF), is known to have multiple pharmacological activities. However, studies also shown that triptolide highly toxic the reproductive system by disrupting normal androgen and estrogen signaling. In present study, we investigated effect (5, 10, or 20 nM for 24 h) on estradiol production rat granulosa cells. Triptolide inhibited basal human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG)- 8-bromo-cAMP-stimulated as revealed RIA assay....

Heparin, a potential blood anti-coagulant, is also known for its binding ability to several angiogenic factors through electrostatic interactions due polyanionic character. However, the clinical application of heparin cancer treatment limited by drawbacks, such as unsatisfactory therapeutic effects and severe anticoagulant activity that could induce hemorrhaging. Herein, low molecular weight (LMWH) was conjugated ursolic acid (UA), which an angiogenesis inhibitor, amine group aminoethyl-UA...

Multiple myeloma (MM), a plasma cell malignancy, is the second most prevalent hematologic malignancy in US. Although much effort has been made trying to understand etiology and complexities of this disease with hope developing effective therapies, MM remains incurable at time. Because their antiproliferative proapoptotic activities, interferons (IFNs) have used treat various malignancies, including MM. some success observed, inherent toxicities IFNs limit efficacy.
