Tumor endothelial cells (ECs) promote cancer progression in ways beyond their role as conduits supporting metabolism. However, it is unknown how vascular niche-derived paracrine factors, defined as angiocrine factors, provoke tumor aggressiveness. Here, we show that FGF4 produced by B cell lymphoma cells (LCs) through activating FGFR1 upregulates the Notch ligand Jagged1 (Jag1) on neighboring ECs. In turn, upregulation of Jag1 on ECs reciprocally induces Notch2-Hey1 in LCs. This crosstalk enforces aggressive CD44(+)IGF1R(+)CSF1R(+) LC phenotypes, including extranodal invasion and chemoresistance. Inducible EC-selective deletion of Fgfr1 or Jag1 in the Eμ-Myc lymphoma model or impairing Notch2 signaling in mouse and human LCs diminished lymphoma aggressiveness and prolonged mouse survival. Thus, targeting the angiocrine FGF4-FGFR1/Jag1-Notch2 loop inhibits LC aggressiveness and enhances chemosensitivity.

Human pluripotent stem cell-derived kidney organoids hold promise for future applications in regenerative medicine. However, significant biological hurdles need to be overcome to enable their use as a transplantable stem cell-derived therapeutic graft. Current kidney organoid protocols do not recapitulate a complete integrated developing kidney, but embryonic kidney transplantations have provided clues for advancing maturation and functionality of kidney organoids.

Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been shown to be a promising treatment for subacromial impingement, and although its interaction with aspirin (ASA) is controversial, many providers ask patients to stop non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use before PRP administration.
Purpose: This studied aimed to identify the effect of PRP in a murine model of subacromial impingement and to explore the effect of ASA on PRP treatment.
Methods: A murine model of subacromial impingement was used, incorporating 48 wild-type C57BL/6 mice.
Does High Standard Uptake Value on Positron Emission Tomography Preclude Sublobar Resection in Stage IA Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer ≤2 cm?

Background: Recent randomized trials have shown equivalent survival after sublobar resection vs lobectomy in patients with clinical stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) ≤2 cm. High maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) is a known risk factor in NSCLC, yet limited data exist on whether a high SUV should preclude a sublobar resection. This study aimed to determine whether there is an association between SUVmax and survival based on the extent of parenchymal resection.

Recently, we identified myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF) as a blood flow-induced angiocrine signal that promotes human and mouse hepatocyte proliferation and survival. Here, we review literature reporting changes in blood flow after partial organ resection in the liver, lung, and kidney, and we describe the angiocrine signals released by endothelial cells (ECs) upon blood flow alterations in these organs. While hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and MYDGF are important angiocrine signals for liver regeneration, by now, angiocrine signals have also been reported to stimulate hyperplasia and/or hypertrophy during the regeneration of lungs and kidneys.

Article Synopsis
- The liver comprises several key cell types, including hepatocytes, endothelial cells, Kupffer cells, and hepatic stellate cells, which work together to maintain liver health and function.
- Research using genetically modified mice showed that hepatic stellate cells are the primary producers of the signaling molecules GDF2 and BMP10 in the liver.
- The study revealed that these molecules support the differentiation of Kupffer and endothelial cells, while disruptions in their signaling can lead to activation of hepatic stellate cells and conditions like liver fibrosis and iron overload.
