Background: Fibroblast growth factor receptors are expressed in diverse cell types. They play a critical role in tumor development. Their activation promotes cell-cycle progression, angiogenesis, and cell survival by induction/suppression of the expression of proteins involved.
Materials And Methods: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells (line H1581) were treated with NVP-BGJ398 to evaluate effects on growth by western blot, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide assay and cell-cycle analysis.
Results: NVP-BGJ398 induced cell death in H1581 cells by activating caspase-dependent mitochondrial and non-mitochondrial pathways. Caspase-independent apoptosis was also activated. Cells were found to be arrested in the G0/G1 phase. Furthermore, the expression of the tumor-suppressor gene programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) was up-regulated with suppression of angiopoietin 2 (ANG2). This represents an additional mechanism by which NVP-BGJ389 inhibits tumor growth.
Conclusion: Various pathways induce apoptosis in NSCLC cells by employing NVP-BGJ398. These data reflect the potential of cancer treatment utilizing small FGFR inhibitors.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is widely used as a bone graft. However, information on the head-to-head osteoinductivity and in vivo performance of micro- and nanosized natural and synthetic HA is still lacking. Here, we fabricated nanosized bovine HA (nanoBHA) by using a wet ball milling method and compared its in vitro and in vivo performance with microsized BHA, nanosized synthetic HA (nanoHA), and microsized synthetic HA (HA).

Introduction: The mortality rate among Human immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) who have started antiretroviral therapy (ART) continues to be increased in resource-limited countries, despite a decline in developed nations. Furthermore, research within this age group is limited and has not previously been conducted in the study area. Consequently, this study aimed to determine the incidence of mortality and its predictors among HIV-positive children who have been receiving ART at public health facilities in West Wollega.

Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) involves femoral head osteonecrosis caused by disrupted blood supply, leading to joint deformity and early osteoarthritis. This study investigates the role of miRNA-223-5p in regulating hypoxia-induced apoptosis and enhancing osteogenesis in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Utilizing a juvenile New Zealand white rabbit model of LCPD established through femoral neck ligation, we transfected BMSCs with miR-223-5p mimics, inhibitors, and controls, followed by hypoxic exposure.

Blocking mitosis is a promising strategy to induce tumor cell death. However, AMPK- and PFKFB3-mediated glycolysis can maintain ATP supply and help tumor cells overcome antimitotic drugs. Inhibiting glycolysis provides an opportunity to decrease the resistance of tumor cells to antimitotic drugs.

The hypoxic environment of solid tumors significantly diminishes the therapeutic efficacy of oxygen-dependent photodynamic therapy. Developing efficient photosensitizers that operate photoredox catalysis presents a promising strategy to overcome this challenge. Herein, we report the rational design of two rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes ( and ) with electron donor-acceptor-donor configuration.
