Cancer-associated fibroblast-derived exosome microRNA-21 promotes angiogenesis in multiple myeloma.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy, and angiogenesis determines its progression. In the tumor microenvironment, normal fibroblasts (NFs) are transformed into cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which can promote angiogenesis. Microribonucleic acid-21 (miR-21) is highly expressed in various tumors.

Downregulation of miR-100-5p in cancer-associated fibroblast-derived exosomes facilitates lymphangiogenesis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), an aggressive gastrointestinal tumor, often has high early lymphatic metastatic potential. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are primary components in tumor microenvironment (TME), and the impact of CAFs and its derived exosomes on lymphangiogenesis remains elusive.

Materials And Methods: CAFs and the microlymphatic vessel density (MLVD) in ESCC was examined.

Long non‑coding RNAs in multiple myeloma (Review).

Multiple myeloma (MM) is one of the three major malignancies of the hematological system in middle‑aged and older individuals. The incidence of MM increases with age and due to its drug resistance and high recurrence, MM seriously harms human health. Long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA molecules with a length of >200 nt and rarely encode proteins.

Spinal disease diagnosis assistant based on MRI images using deep transfer learning methods.

Introduction: In light of the potential problems of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis in the diagnosis of spinal diseases caused by experience differences and fatigue, this paper investigates the use of artificial intelligence technology for auxiliary diagnosis of spinal diseases.

Methods: The LableImg tool was used to label the MRIs of 604 patients by clinically experienced doctors. Then, in order to select an appropriate object detection algorithm, deep transfer learning models of YOLOv3, YOLOv5, and PP-YOLOv2 were created and trained on the Baidu PaddlePaddle framework.

The angiogenic genes predict prognosis and immune characteristics in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: Evidence from multi-omics and experimental verification.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC) is an aggressive disease with five-year overall survival (OS) <15%. The main cause is metastasis rather than local tumor, and angiogenesis plays an important role. Angiogenesis has a significant impact on tumor metastasis, treatment and prognosis.

Similarities between wound re-epithelialization and Metastasis in ESCC and the crucial involvement of macrophages: A review.

In cancer, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) possess crucial functions in facilitating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). EMT is a crucial process in tumor metastasis. Tumor metastasis is one of the hallmarks of cancer and leads to patient mortality.

Exosomal miR-301a-3p from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells promotes angiogenesis by inducing M2 polarization of macrophages via the PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Background: Growing evidence has indicated that tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) promote tumor angiogenesis. However, the mechanisms underlying the pro-angiogenic switch of TAMs remains unclear. Here, we examined how exosomal miR-301a-3p secreted by esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells triggers the pro-angiogenic switch of TAMs.

Exosomes-derived miR-154-5p attenuates esophageal squamous cell carcinoma progression and angiogenesis by targeting kinesin family member 14.

Exosomes participate in the progression and angiogenesis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). This study aimed to explore the effect and mechanism of exosomes-derived miR-154-5p on the progression and angiogenesis of ESCC. The exosomes with the diameter of 40-270 nm were successfully isolated from ESCC cells by ultracentrifugation.

Relationship Between PTEN and Angiogenesis of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma and the Underlying Mechanism.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has high morbidity and mortality rates owing to its ability to infiltrate and metastasize. Microvessels formed in early-stage ESCC promote metastasis. Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) mediates macrophage polarization, but its effect and mechanism on early ESCC angiogenesis are unclear.

Tumor-associated macrophages modulate angiogenesis and tumor growth in a xenograft mouse model of multiple myeloma.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are closely associated with poor multiple myeloma (MM) prognosis. Therefore, in-depth understanding of the mechanism by which TAM supports MM progression may lead to its effective treatment. We used the MM nude mouse subcutaneous xenograft model to evaluate the efficacy of the macrophage-depleting agent clodronate liposome (Clo) against MM and elucidate the mode of action of this therapy.

Relationships Among Job Burnout, Generativity Concern, and Subjective Well-Being: A Moderated Mediation Model.

Policemen all over the world are tasked with the heavy work of maintaining social security. With the imbalance in mentality brought about by high population density and social transformation, the work of the Chinese police is particularly hard. As the window of demographic dividend is closing and the number of newborns is insufficient, China has started to adjust its established fertility policy to encourage a family to have two children.
