Objective To investigate the effect of salvianolic acid B (SalB) on the proliferation, migration and differentiation of human gingival mesenchymal stem cells (hGMSCs). Methods The hGMSCs were isolated and cultured, and the expressions of CD73, CD90, CD34, and CD45 were detected by flow cytometry; logarithmic phase cells were selected and hGMSCs were treated with 0, 5, 10 μmol/L SalB for 24 hours. The proliferation activity of cells in each group was detected by CCK-8 assay, the migration ability of cells was detected by Transwell assay and scratch test, and the osteogenic differentiation ability and the adipogenic differentiation ability were detected by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and oil red O staining, respectively; the mRNA and protein expressions of cell differentiation proteins and genes as well as proteins related to the PI3K/AKT signal pathway were detected by Real-time quantiative PCR and Western blotting. Results The proliferation and migration ability of SalB-treated hGMSCs were significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner; the ability of osteogenic differentiation of hGMSCs and the expressions of osteogenesis associated proteins and PI3K/AKT signal pathway related proteins were up-regulated, while the adipogenic differentiation decreased, and the expression of adipogenesis related proteins was significantly down-regulated. Conclusion SalB promotes the proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation of hGMSCs and inhibits the adipogenic differentiation, which may be related to the activation of PI3K/AKT signal pathway.

Purpose: To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of BEZ235, a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor, in suppressing pathological neovascularization in an oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) mouse model and explore the role of cyclin D1 in endothelial cell cycle regulation.
Methods: Single-cell RNA sequencing was performed to analyze gene expression and cell-cycle alterations in retinal endothelial cells under normoxic and OIR conditions. The effects of BEZ235 on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMECs) were evaluated by assessing cell viability, cell-cycle progression, proliferation, migration, and tube formation.

Evidence accumulated mitochondria, as the "powerplants of the cell," express several functional receptors for external ligands that modify their function and regulate cell biology. This review sheds new light on the role of these organelles in sensing external stimuli to facilitate energy production for cellular needs. This is possible because mitochondria express some receptors on their membranes that are responsible for their autonomous responses.

Drug resistance and cancer recurrence are major cause of Cervical cancer (CC) patient mortality. Cisplatin (CDDP) is the major drug that has been extremely used in all stages in treating CC, although relapse and malignant instances have been observed as a result of cisplatin resistance in CC. In the present study, we established Cisplatin resistant CC HeLa cell line model and the cytotoxic effects of Andro as a single agent or in combination with CDDP were investigated to assess its potential as a chemotherapeutic agent in cisplatin-resistant HeLa (CisR-HeLa) cells.

Aims: The goal of this study was to explore new candidate genes and pathogenesis mechanisms of nonsyndromic hereditary gingival fibromatosis (nsHGF) and to provide an experimental basis for the diagnosis of nsHGF.
Methods: Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed on peripheral blood DNA from three nsHGF family members to screen for new candidate genes, and Sanger sequencing and related databases were used to verify the pathogenicity of this gene deficiency. Moreover, the effects of gene deficiency on the biological characteristics of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) were evaluated via cell proliferation assays, extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition detection, cell apoptosis and cell cycle assessment, cell migration and gene expression analyses.

The direct application of cold plasmas at atmospheric pressure, corresponding to partially ionized gases, is an emerging technology with a number of potential biomedical applications, including the decontamination of surgical devices. A new derived and easier to implement method has recently been developed: the use of cold atmospheric plasma-activated media (PAM). Numerous preclinical studies and in vitro models indicates that PAM treatments facilitate wound healing by promoting keratinocytes and fibroblasts migration, stimulating angiogenesis, and inhibiting bacterial proliferation, all of which are essential for this vital process.
