Cancer cells-derived exosomal lncRNAs could modulate the tumorigenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC) via modulating macrophage M2 polarization. However, the clarified mechanism and function of lncRNA BANCR in CRC remains unclear. Exosomes were identified by TEM, NTA, western blot and fluorescent staining. M2 macrophages were identified by CD206 and CD163 expressions using by flow cytometry and RT-qPCR. In addition, the relation between IGF2BP2 and BANCR or RhoA were explored by RIP assay. The malignant behaviors of CRC cells were examined by CCK-8, EdU and transwell assays. Histopathological changes in mice were observed by H&E staining. Silencing of BANCR notably inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of CRC cells. SW620 and HCT-15 cells-derived exosomal BANCR positively regulated the macrophage M2 polarization. In addition, exosomal BANCR remarkably enhanced the promoting roles mediated by M2 macrophages on proliferation and invasion in CRC cells. Meanwhile, exosomal BANCR promoted the M2 macrophage polarization via activation of RhoA/Rock pathway by recruiting IGF2BP2. Inhibition of RhoA/Rock pathway reversed exosomal BANCR-mediated macrophages M2 polarization and CRC malignant behaviors in SW620 and HCT-15 cells. Exosomal lncRNA BANCR derived from SW620 and HCT-15 cells promoted the metastasis of CRC via inducing the polarization of M2 macrophages. Thus, BANCR might be a new target for the treatment of CRC.

Natural plant-derived polysaccharides exhibit substantial potential for treating ulcerative colitis (UC) owing to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and favorable safety profiles. However, their practical application faces several challenges, including structural instability in gastric acid, imprecise targeting of inflamed regions, and limited intestinal retention times. To address these limitations, pH-responsive, colon-targeting microspheres (pWGPAC MSs) are developed for delivering phosphorylated wild ginseng polysaccharides (pWGP) to alleviate UC.

Background: Most spheroid models use size measurements as a primary readout parameter; some models extend analysis to T cell infiltration or perform caspase activation assays. However, to our knowledge, T cell motility analysis is not regularly included as an endpoint in imaging studies on cancer spheroids.

Methods: Here, we intend to demonstrate that motility analysis of macrophages and T cells is a valuable functional endpoint for studies on molecular interventions in the tumor microenvironment.

Goose Deoxycholic Acid Ameliorates Liver Injury in Laying Hens with Fatty Liver Hemorrhage Syndrome by Inhibiting the Inflammatory Response.

Fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS) in laying hens is a nutritional and metabolic disease involving liver enlargement, hepatic steatosis, and hepatic hemorrhage as the primary symptoms. The syndrome is prone to occur during the peak laying period of laying hens, which has resulted in significant economic losses in the laying hen breeding industry; however, the specific pathogenesis of FLHS remains unclear. Our group and previous studies have shown that bile acid levels are significantly decreased during the development of fatty liver and that targeted activation of bile acid-related signaling pathways is beneficial for preventing and treating fatty liver.

A Low-Modulus Phosphatidylserine-Exposing Microvesicle Alleviates Skin Inflammation via Persistent Blockade of M1 Macrophage Polarization.

Department of Material Science and Engineering, College of Chemistry and Materials Science, Jinan University, Guangzhou 510632, China.

Inflammatory skin diseases comprise a group of skin conditions characterized by damage to skin function due to overactive immune responses. These disorders not only impair the barrier function of the skin but also deteriorate the quality of life and increase the risk of psychiatric issues. Here, a low-modulus phosphatidylserine-exposing microvesicle (deformed PSV, D-PSV) was produced, characterized, and evaluated for its potential therapeutic function against skin diseases.
