MicroRNA-128 Confers Anti-Endothelial Adhesion and Anti-Migration Properties to Counteract Highly Metastatic Cervical Cancer Cells' Migration in a Parallel-Plate Flow Chamber.

Despite the distant metastasis of cervical cancer cells being a prominent cause of mortality, neither the metastasis capacity nor the in vitro conditions mimicking adhesion of cervical cancer cells to endothelial cells have been fully elucidated. Circulating metastatic cancer cells undergo transendothelial migration and invade normal organs in distant metastasis; however, the putative molecular mechanism remains largely uncertain. In this study, we describe the use of an in vitro parallel-plate flow chamber to simulate the dynamic circulation stress on cervical cancer cells and elucidate their vascular adhesion and metastasis.

MicroRNA-29a Exhibited Pro-Angiogenic and Anti-Fibrotic Features to Intensify Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells-Renovated Perfusion Recovery and Preventing against Fibrosis from Skeletal Muscle Ischemic Injury.

This study was conducted to elucidate whether () and/or together with transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells isolated from umbilical cord Wharton's jelly (uMSCs) could aid in skeletal muscle healing and putative molecular mechanisms. We established a skeletal muscle ischemic injury model by injection of a myotoxin bupivacaine (BPVC) into gastrocnemius muscle of C57BL/6 mice. Throughout the angiogenic and fibrotic phases of muscle healing, was considerably downregulated in BPVC-injured gastrocnemius muscle.
