Objective: To investigate the role of adhesion between fibronectin and fibroblasts in wound healing as well as tyrosine phosphorylation proteins in procollagen mRNA expression.
Methods: The level of proalpha1 (I) mRNA and tyrosine phosphorylation protein were detected employing the techniques of RT-PCR and immunoblotting. After inhibition of tyrosine kinases, herbimycin A was added to the medium to block the pathway of tyrosine phosphorylation, the changes of procollagen mRNA and tyrosine phosphorylation proteins were further investigated.
Results: The adhesion between fibroblasts and fibronectin in wound healing not only induced the production of 98kd and 65kd tyrosine phosphorylation protein, but also enhanced obviously the expression of procollagen alpha1 (I) mRNA. When the pathway of tyrosine phosphorylation was blocked, the level of procollagen alpha1 (I) mRNA lowered remarkably, accompanied by the decrease of 98kd, 65kd tyrosine phosphorylation proteins.
Conclusion: The adhesion between fibronectin and fibroblasts plays an important role in expression increase of procollagen mRNA during wound healing, in the process of which tyrosine phosphorylation is a key step.

CLEC12B is a C-type lectin receptor involved in the inhibition of natural killers-mediated cytotoxicity. We have previously shown that CLEC12B is predominantly expressed on melanocytes, inhibits melanin production and pigmentation as well as proliferation of melanoma. To date, the role of CLEC12B in skin immunity is unknown.

Blood storage lesion induces cytosolic and membrane changes driven in part by hemoglobin (Hb) oxidation reactions within red blood cells (RBCs). A novel gel formulation containing the antioxidant curcuminoids in a biocompatible solvent system was used to deliver curcumin into RBCs. Incubation of peroxide treated RBCs stored in PBS with curcumin gel led to a reduction in prooxidant ferrylHb and recovery in ATP.

In clinical mastitis of dairy cows, the abnormal accumulation of apoptotic cells (ACs) and subsequent secondary necrosis and inflammation pose significant concerns, with macrophage-mediated efferocytosis, crucial for ACs clearance, remaining unexplored in this context. In nonruminants, MER proto-oncogene tyrosine kinase (MERTK) receptors are essential for efferocytosis and A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) is thought to play a role in regulating MERTK integrity. This study aimed to delineate the in situ role of efferocytosis in clinical mastitis, with a particular focus on the interaction between MERTK and ADAM17 in bovine macrophages.

, a salt-tolerant plant, has demonstrated antioxidant effects, the ability to prevent prostate enlargement, antifungal properties, and skin moisturizing benefits. This study aimed to explore the anti-melanogenic potential of the 70% ethanol extract of (TME) along with its ethyl acetate (TME-EA) and water (TME-A) fractions. TME (10-200 µg/mL), TME-EA (1-15 µg/mL), and TME-A (100-1000 µg/mL) were prepared and applied to B16F10 cells with or without α-MSH for 72 h.

Objectives: To investigate the mechanism of PHPS1 for promoting apoptosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma cells and the role of AMPK in regulating tumor angiogenesis under hypoxic conditions.
Methods: Human oral squamous cell carcinoma Ca9-22 cells cultured in hypoxic conditions (1% O) were inoculated subcutaneously in 16 nude mice, which were divided into control group and PHPS1 group (8) for treatment with 10% DMSO and 10% PHPS1 respectively. Tumor growth in the mice was monitored till 14 days after the treatment, and the xenografts were examined pathologically using HE staining.
