Purpose: As a characteristic of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), choroidal neovascularization (CNV) causes severe vision loss. The current treatment has limited efficacy. This study was to investigate effects of Salidroside against CNV and explore its underlying mechanisms.
Methods: RF/6A cells were treated with 200 mM cobalt chloride (CoCl) for 6 hr to mimic hypoxic condition. Cells were then treated with Salidroside at 10, 30, and 100 µM for 24 hr. Cells treated with DMSO were used as negative control. The cell proliferation was assessed using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium-bromid assay. The tube formation was investigated on Matrigel. The cell migration was measured by a Transwell assay. RT-qPCR was used to detect the gene expression. Immuohistochemistry and western blot were used to detect the expression of proteins.
Results: Salidroside significantly inhibited the cell migration and tube formation activity of RF/6A cells under hypoxia. Moreover, Salidroside reduced the expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) in RF/6A cells.
Conclusions: Our data suggested that Salidroside could be a potential novel therapeutic agent against CNV.

Studies have shown that circRNAs play an important regulatory role in trophoblast function and embryonic development. Based on sequencing and functional experiments, we found that hsa_circ_0069443 can regulate the function of trophoblast cells, and its presence is found in the exosomes secreted by trophoblast cells. It is known that exosomes mediate the interaction between the uterus and embryo, which is crucial for successful pregnancy.

Lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) is currently categorized as a primary lymphoproliferative disorder that follows a chronic, recurrent clinical course. The diagnosis of LyP is mainly based on clinical presentation and histopathological correlation. Six subtypes of LyP have been described and recognized, each with different histological features and sometimes distinct clinical presentations.

Purpose: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a scarce but potentially life-threatening infection. However, no research has reported the cellular heterogeneity in patients with NF. We aim to investigate the change of cells from deep fascia in response to NF by single-cell RNA-seq.

OX40, a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily, is expressed on the surface of activated T cells. Upon interaction with its cognate ligand, OX40L, OX40 transmits costimulatory signals to antigen-primed T cells, promoting their activation, differentiation, and survivalprocesses essential for the establishment of adaptive immunity. Although the OX40-OX40L interaction has been extensively studied in the context of disease treatment, developing a substitute for the naturally expressed membrane-bound OX40L, particularly a multimerized OX40L trimers, that effectively regulates OX40-driven T cell responses remains a significant challenge.

Background: The Arp2/3 complex is a key regulator of tumor metastasis, and targeting its subunits offers potential for anti-metastatic therapy. However, the expression profiles, prognostic relevance, and diagnostic value of its subunits across cancers remain poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the clinical relevance of Arp2/3 complex subunits, particularly ARPC1A, in pan-cancer, and to further analyze the potential biological mechanisms of ARPC1A, as well as its association with immune infiltration and chemotherapy drug sensitivity.
