Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of S100A10 silencing on the inflammatory response in human chondrocytes (HCs).The inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was investigated in HCs in which the S100A10 was blocked with a lentiviral shRNA vector.
Methods: A lentiviral shRNA vector targeting S100A10 was constructed and packaged to effectively block S100A10 expression in HCs. HCs were infected with the lentivirus. S100A10 expression levels in HCs were detected by western blot analysis. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to evaluate the change of cytokine secretion levels. The effects of S100A10 silencing on the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and NF-κB signaling pathway were also determined by western blot analysis. In addition, fluo-3-AM was used to demonstrate the change in calcium mobilization.
Results: Lentivirus effectively infected the HCs and inhibited the expression of S100A10. HCs with downregulated S100A10 showed significantly decreased production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-10. S100A10 silencing markedly suppressed the activation of MAPKs induced by LPS. Furthermore, the calcium concentration increase in HCs stimulated by LPS was also inhibited by S100A10 knockdown.
Conclusion: Our investigation demonstrated that S100A10 might be considered as a potential target for anti-inflammatory treatment.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) poses a significant health challenge worldwide, primarily due to late-stage diagnosis and the limited effectiveness of current therapies. Cancer stem cells are known to play a role in tumor development, metastasis, and resistance to treatment. A thorough understanding of genes associated with stem cells is crucial for improving the diagnostic precision of LIHC and for the advancement of effective immunotherapy approaches.

Currently, research on optic nerve injury predominantly focuses on the retina and optic nerve, but emerging evidence suggests that optic nerve injury also affects advanced visual structures like the superior colliculus (SC) and primary visual cortex (V1 region). However, the exact mechanisms have not been fully explored. This study aims to investigate the characteristics and mechanisms of pathology in the SC and V1 region after optic nerve crush (ONC) to deepen our understanding of the central mechanism of visual injury.

Objectives: Dementia is becoming a major health problem in the world, and chronic brain ischemia is an established important risk factor in predisposing this disease. Astrocytes, as one major part of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), are activated during chronic cerebral blood flow hypoperfusion. Reactive astrocytes have been classified into phenotype pro-inflammatory type A1 or neuroprotective type A2.

Astrocyte-mediated neuroinflammation plays a key role in Parkinson's disease (PD) progression. The proinflammatory protein S100A9 is linked to various neurodegenerative diseases, but its involvement in astrocyte activation in PD remains unclear. Here, we investigate the role of S100A9 in astrocyte-mediated neuroinflammation in PD.

The Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) subtype constitutes 15-20% of breast cancer cases and is associated with the poorest clinical outcomes. Distant metastasis, particularly to the lungs, is a major contributor to the high mortality rates in breast cancer patients. Despite this, there has been a lack of comprehensive insights into the heterogeneity of metastatic tumors and their surrounding ecosystem in the lungs.
