The aberrant activation of c-Src regulates multiple functions during tumor progression. This study was conducted to investigate the role of c-Src suppression in epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) process in human breast carcinoma cells. c-Src suppression by PP2 (a Src-family kinase inhibitor) or small interfering RNA (siRNA) was carried out in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. Cell migration was analyzed by wound-healing assay. The transcription and protein levels of EMT markers and transcription factors were evaluated by reverse transcription-PCR and Western blot analysis, respectively. The changed cell morphology was photographed by light microscope. c-Src suppression by PP2 or siRNA reversed the mesenchymal-like phenotype in MDA-MB-231 cells. E-cadherin was upregulated in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells after c-Src suppression, whereas vimentin was downregulated in MDA-MB-231 cells. Slug and SIP1 were downregulated after c-Src suppression in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells, whereas Twist was unchanged. These results suggest that c-Src suppression by PP2 or siRNA may inhibit EMT through regulation of different transcription factors in breast carcinoma cells that have different metastatic potential.

Background: The treatment options to delay the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN), a key contributor to chronic kidney disease (CKD), are urgently needed. Previous studies reported that traditional Chinese medicine Panax notoginseng (PNG) exerted beneficial effects on DN. However, the renoprotective effects of Notoginsenoside R2 (NR2), an active component of PNG, on DN have not been investigated.

Aseptic loosening of orthopedic implants is an inflammatory disease characterized by immune cell activation, chronic inflammation, and destruction of periprosthetic bone, and is one of the leading reasons for prosthetic failure, affecting 12% of total joint arthroplasty patients. Matrix-bound nanovesicles (MBVs) are a subclass of extracellular vesicle recently shown to mitigate inflammation in preclinical models of rheumatoid arthritis and influenza-mediated "cytokine storm." The molecular mechanism of these anti-inflammatory properties is only partially understood.

Acacetin (ACA) and biochanin A (BCA) are isomeric monomethoxyflavones with different structural positions of the 4'-methoxy-phenyl group. Both of them are present in many commonly consumed foods, such as citrus fruits and vegetables, and have been discovered with anti-inflammatory activities, but their mechanisms of action are not clearly elucidated at the molecular level. Herein, we reported the structure-activity relationship of ACA and BCA regarding their potency in inhibiting nitric oxide (NO) production, proinflammatory enzyme expression, and mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.

SPHK1 (sphingosine kinase type 1) is characterized as a rate-limiting enzyme in sphingolipid metabolism to phosphorylate sphingosine into sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) that can bind to S1P receptors (S1PRs) to initiate several signal transductions leading to cell proliferation and survival of normal cell. Many studies have indicated that SPHK1 is involved in several types of cancer development, however, a little is known in bladder cancer. The TCGA database analysis was utilized for analyzing the clinical relevance of SPHK1 in bladder cancer.

Chondrosarcoma is a malignant bone tumor that emerges from abnormalities in cartilaginous tissue and is related with lung metastases. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is an adipocytokine reported to enhance tumor metastasis. Our results from clinical samples and the Gene Expression Omnibus data set reveal that NAMPT levels are markedly higher in chondrosarcoma patients than in normal individuals.
