Objective: To explore the role of protein kinase D3 (PKD3) in the regulation of matrix metalloproteinases 7 (MMP-7) expression in prostate cancer cells.
Methods: PC-3 cells were either stimulated with 100 nmol/L PMA to activate PKD3 kinase activity, or transiently transfected with PKD3 siRNA, and the relative expression level of MMP-7 mRNA were analyzed by real-time PCR using 2(-delta delta Ct) method. MMP-7 mRNA levels were also analyzed and quantified in HEK293 cells with over-expression of wild-type PKD3, PKD3 knockdown (using PKD3 siRNA), or over-expression of wild-type PKD3 followed by PKD3 knockdown.
Results: MMP-7 mRNA expression in PC3 cells was significantly decreased after PMA-induced PKD3 kinase activation. In contrast, PKD3 knockdown by siRNA transfection markedly increased MMP-7 mRNA level (P<0.01). MMP-7 mRNA level in HEK293 cells was significantly decreased by PKD3 over-expression, whereas obviously increased by PKD3 knockdown. Down-regulation of MMP-7 mRNA level in HEK293 induced by PKD3 over-expression was rescued by PKD3 knockdown.
Conclusion: PKD3 may contribute to the malignant progression of prostate cancer cells through negative regulation of MMP-7 expression.

The expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-7 is reported to be correlated with invasion and metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, the inhibition of MMP-7 would be beneficial for the suppression or prevention of CRC cell invasion and metastasis. The stem bark of Acanthopanax senticosus, a widely used medicinal herb, contains isofraxidin (IF) and chlorogenic acid (CGA) as major components.

Objectives: To investigate the effects of propranolol on the proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and tube formation ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), as well as its impact on the expression of sex-determining region Y-box 18 (SOX18), matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7), and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA).
Methods: HUVEC were treated with different concentrations of propranolol, and cell viability was assessed using the CCK-8 method to determine the optimal concentration and treatment duration. The experiment consisted of a control group and groups treated with different concentrations of propranolol (50, 100, 150 μmol/L).
Resveratrol reinforces the therapeutic effect of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes against renal ischemia‒reperfusion injury (RIRI)-associated fibrosis by suppressing TGF-β-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

Resveratrol (RSV) has been shown to prevent epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in different diseases by modulating several signaling pathways, and RSV can prevent EMT by modulating the signaling of the TGF-β/Smad axis. In the development of renal ischemia‒reperfusion injury (RIRI), RSV and MSC-derived exosomes could ameliorate RIRI via different signaling pathways. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of RSV plus MSC-derived exosomes on the prognosis of RIRI.

Tubulointerstitial fibrosis (TIF) is present with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Vinpocetine (Vinpo) is used for treating cerebrovascular deficits, exhibiting some kidney-beneficial effects; however, its role in TIF is uncertain. So, the aim of this study was to investigate its potential impact on adenine-induced fibrotic CKD and explore the underlying mechanistic aspects.

Background: Oncostatin M (OSM) may be involved in the promotion of mucosal epithelial barrier dysfunction in patients with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (Eos CRSwNP) by inducing matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) -1 and -7. The aim was to evaluate the roles and mechanisms of action of OSM on MMP-1 and -7 synthesis from nasal epithelial cells (NECs).
Methods: OSM, OSM receptor (OSMR), MMP-1 and -7 expression was evaluated in nasal mucosa or primary NECs from scrapings by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry.
