Orthopedic metallic prosthetic implants are commonly made of cobalt chromium (CoCr) alloys. However, such metal-based implants are susceptible to fibrous capsule formation on the implant surface after implantation. At the bone-implant interface, this capsule can prevent implant integration, resulting in loosening and failure. Minimizing the development of such a capsule on the CoCr surface would improve direct bone-implant bonding leading to long-term implant functionality. We evaluated the anti-fibrosis effect of bone morphogenic protein-7 (BMP-7) peptide covalently bonded to CoCr alloy. This peptide, a biomimetic derivation of the knuckle epitope of BMP-7, was conjugated at the N-terminus with a cysteine amino acid. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and probe binding assay were used to evaluate different stages of grafting and surface functionalization using polydopamine coating. Cellular functions were studied using fibroblast attachment, cell proliferation, and MTT assays. Fibroblasts were grown on functionalized and pristine CoCr substrates, and the efficacy of BMP-7 peptide on anti-fibrosis was analyzed via gene expression and protein expression of fibrosis markers ACTA2, Collagen 1A1, and fibronectin. The peptide functionalized substrates showed significant reduction of fibrosis markers expression after 1 week of incubation compared to controls. BMP-7 signaling pathway activation was shown by the presence of phosphorylation of Smad1/5/8. These findings may contribute to the improvement of CoCr implants in orthopedic surgery applications.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has an extremely poor prognosis, due in part to early invasion and metastasis, which in turn involves epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of the cancer cells. Prompted by the discovery that two PDAC cell lines of the quasi-mesenchymal subtype (PANC-1, MIA PaCa-2) exhibit neuroendocrine differentiation (NED), we asked whether NED is associated with EMT. Using real-time PCR and immunoblotting, we initially verified endogenous expressions of various NED markers, i.

Background: Inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity is considered a significant factor contributing to the development of endocrine resistance in breast cancer. Recent advances in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single-cell ATAC sequencing (scATAC-seq) allow us to explore inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity at single-cell resolution. However, such integrated single-cell analysis has not yet been demonstrated to characterize the transcriptome and chromatin accessibility in breast cancer endocrine resistance.

A series of differentially expressed circular RNAs (circRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) were identified through sequencing in the hair follicle tissues of Hu sheep with small-waved and straight wool patterns. Based on these findings, the circCSPP1-miR-10a- (Bone Morphogenetic Protein 7) regulatory network was constructed. The preliminary study highlighted that miR-10a and the BMP7 gene exhibited not only significant differential expression across hair follicle tissues with different patterns in Hu sheep but also had an impact on the proliferation of hair papilla cells.

The current clinical applications of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are limited to only a few specific indications. Locally controlled delivery of combinations of growth factors can be a promising strategy to improve BMP-based bone repair. However, the success of this approach requires the development of an effective release system and the correct choice of growth factors capable of enhancing BMP activity.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the loss of intestinal barrier integrity during colitis, which is accompanied by oxidative stress, and highlights the healing potential of bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP 7).
- A novel hydrogel (HDP-BMP 7) has been developed to deliver BMP 7, mimicking natural gut mucus and specifically adhering to inflamed colonic tissue while responding to oxidative stress.
- In animal experiments, HDP-BMP 7 not only improved colitis symptoms and restored mucus and epithelial barriers but also enhanced gut flora diversity and activated key signaling pathways, suggesting its strong therapeutic potential for gut health.
