Objective: To determine the effect of indomethacin on high concentration glucose and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced fibronectin (FN) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) secretion in cultured human peritoneal mesothelial cells.
Methods: Mesothelial cells were isolated from human omental specimens by trypsin disaggregation and incubated by 2.5% glucose or LPS together with different concentrations of indomethacin. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay determined the quantity of FN and PAI-1 in the cultured supernatants.
Results: Compared with the control group, the levels of FN and PAI-1 in the cultured supernatants were increased significantly exposuring to high concentration glucose and LPS (P <0.01). The different concentrations of indomethacin decreased FN and PAI-1 secretion in the 2.5% glucose or the LPS group within 24 h (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Indomethacin can inhibit the synthesis and secretion of extracellular matrix in human peritoneal mesothelial cells, which may be effective in the gene therapy for peritoneal fibrosis.

Fibrinolysis influences the mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells from their bone marrow microenvironment (BMM). Here we show that activation of plasmin, a key fibrinolytic agent, by annexin A2 (ANXA2) distinctly impacts progression of BCR-ABL1 B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) via modulation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the BMM. The dense ECM in a BMM with decreased plasmin activity entraps insulin-like growth factor (IGF) 1 and reduces mTORC2-dependent signaling and proliferation of B-ALL cells.

Mycoplasma synoviae is an important avian pathogen that causes respiratory infections and arthritis symptoms in chickens and turkeys, resulting in significant economic damage to the poultry farming industry worldwide. Cell adhesion is a vital stage of Mycoplasma infection, and the proteins associated with this process play an important role in its pathogenesis. Elongation factor thermo stable (EF-Ts) is an important factor in prokaryotic biosynthesis that serves as a guanosine exchange factor for elongation factor thermo unstable (EF-Tu).

Article Synopsis
- Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis features an unbalanced fibrinolytic system, with Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) showing both anti-fibrotic and pro-fibrotic tendencies depending on the organ.
- This study explored how curcumin influences tissue remodeling related to PAI-1 in lung fibrosis, utilizing both in vitro (NIH3T3 fibroblasts) and in vivo (C57BL/6 mice) approaches.
- Results indicated that curcumin treatment inhibited the elevated expression of collagen, fibronectin, MMP-2, and MMP-9, ultimately reducing pulmonary fibrosis and preventing thickening of the alveolar septum.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) serves as a physical scaffold for tissues that is composed of structural proteins such as laminins, collagens, proteoglycans and fibronectin, forming a three dimensional network, and a wide variety of other matrix proteins with ECM-remodeling and signaling functions. The activity of ECM-associated signaling proteins is tightly regulated. Thus, the ECM serves as a reservoir for water and growth regulatory signals.
