350sf and 625sf cells growing in serum free medium secrete transforming growth factors (TGFs) that induce NIH 3T3 indicator cells to form colonies in soft agar. The addition of 2 ng/ml of EGF increases twice the number of colonies of NIH 3T3 indicator cells. The TGFs secreted by 350sf and 625 sf cells do not compete with 125I EGF for binding to EGF receptors on human A-431 cells. The number of EGF receptors on 350 sf and 625 sf and 625 sf cells continuously grown in serum-free medium do not differ from that of EGF receptors on parental Lebr-350 and Lebr-625 cells continuously grown in the presence of 10% serum. These results suggest that TGFs produced by 350 sf and 625 sf cells are not alpha TGF. It is possible that cells secrete beta TGFs of yet unknown type.

Correlation Between Inflammatory Markers and Pathogenic Bacteria in Children's Winter Respiratory Infections in Xinjiang.
Int J Gen Med
January 2025
Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medical Department Infectious Diseases Ward, The Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Xinjiang Medical University, Urumqi, Xinjiang, People's Republic of China.
Background: This study examines the distribution characteristics of pathogenic bacteria in respiratory infections and their relationship with inflammatory markers to guide clinical drug use.
Methods: We selected 120 patients with lower respiratory tract infection in the electronic medical record system of Xinjiang Provincial People's Hospital from March 2019 to March 2023 for a case-control study. Using Indirect Immunofluorescence Antibody test(IFA), blood routine, C-reactive Protein (CRP), and High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein(hsCRP), we detected nine respiratory pathogens (Respiratory syncytial virus; Influenza A virus; Influenza B virus; Parainfluenza virus; Adenovirus; Mycoplasma pneumoniae; Chlamydia pneumoniae; Legionella pneumophila type 1; Rickettsia Q) in all patients and analyzed their distribution and correlation.
New 2-indolinone-indole hybrid compounds carrying a benzoyl moiety as tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
Bioorg Chem
January 2025
Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Istanbul University 34116 Istanbul, Turkey.
In this study, new 2-indolinone-indole hybrid compounds (4a-s) carrying a benzoyl moiety were synthesized and their cytotoxic effects were examined against pancreatic (MIA-PaCa-2) and colon (HT-29 and HCT-116) cancer cells by MTT assays. Most of the tested compounds exhibited a better inhibitory activity and safety profile than the reference standard sunitinib malate against MIA-PaCa-2 and HCT-116 cancer cells. Compound 4e displayed the greatest cytotoxic effect on HCT-116 cell with an IC value of 0.

Int J Mol Sci

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer globally, with limited effective biomarkers and sensitive therapeutic targets. An increasing number of studies have highlighted the critical role of tumor microenvironment (TME) imbalances, particularly immune escape due to impaired chemokine-mediated trafficking, in tumorigenesis and progression. Notably, CC chemokines (CCLs) have been shown to either promote or inhibit angiogenesis, metastasis, and immune responses in tumors, thereby influencing cancer development and patient outcomes.

Enniatins (ENNs) affect human and animal health. Different ENN analogs have been identified, but Enniatin B (ENN B) is the most detected in foods and feeds. This study investigated the effect of ENN B on bovine polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) challenged with increasing ENN B concentrations (0.
