Transforming growth factor β 1 (TGF-β1), as the most abundant signaling molecule in bone matrix, is essential for bone homeostasis. However, the signaling transduction of TGF-β1 in the bone-forming microenvironment remains unknown. Here, we showed that microRNA-191 (miR-191) was downregulated during osteogenesis and further decreased by osteo-favoring TGF-β1 in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). MiR-191 was lower in bone tissues from children than in those from middle-aged individuals and it was negatively correlated with collagen type I alpha 1 chain (). MiR-191 depletion significantly increased osteogenesis and bone formation . Hydrogels embedded with miR-191-low BMSCs displayed a powerful bone repair effect. Mechanistically, transcription factors BMI1 and SMAD2 coordinately controlled miR-191 level. In detail, BMI1 and pSMAD2 were both upregulated by TGF-β1 under osteogenic condition. SMAD2 activated miR-191 transcription, while BMI1 competed with SMAD2 for binding to miR-191 promoter region, thus disturbing the activation of SMAD2 on miR-191 and reducing miR-191 level. Altogether, our findings reveal that miR-191 regulated by TGF-β1-induced BMI1 and SMAD2 negatively modulated bone formation and regeneration, and inhibition of miR-191 might be therapeutically useful to enhance bone repair in clinic.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers examined early cancer stages by analyzing various markers in AOM/DSS mice that were sacrificed 4 to 6 weeks after treatment, revealing micro-neoplastic lesions that were difficult to identify.
- * Findings indicate that certain molecular markers, particularly pSmad2/3L-Thr, are associated with both tissue stem cells and cancer stem cells, suggesting their potential role in cancer development during colitis.

Background: Activated hepatic stellate cells (aHSCs) are the major source of cancer-associated fibroblasts in the liver. Although the crosstalk between aHSCs and colorectal cancer (CRC) cells supports liver metastasis (LM), the mechanisms are largely unknown.
Aim: To explore the role of BMI-1, a polycomb group protein family member, which is highly expressed in LM, and the interaction between aHSCs and CRC cells in promoting CRC liver metastasis (CRLM).

Introduction: In this research, we studied how the expression of 14 stem genes (TERT; OCT3; SMO; MYC; SNAI2; MOB3B; KLF4; BMI1; VIM; FLT3; LAT; SMAD2; LMNB2; KLF1), as well as the TGF-β1 cytokine gene and its TGFBR1 receptor in breast tumors before and after NAC is associated with clinical and morphological parameters and the disease outcome.
Materials And Methods: The study included 82 patients with the morphologically verified diagnosis of T1-4N0-3M0 breast cancer (stages IIA - IIIB). The material was paired biopsy samples of tumor and surgical material for each patient.

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a cellular stress condition involving disturbance in the folding capacity of the ER caused by endogenous and exogenous factors. ER stress signaling pathways affect tumor malignant growth, angiogenesis and progression, and promote the antitumor effects of certain drugs. However, the impact of ER stress on the vasculogenic mimicry (VM) phenotype of cancer cells has not been well addressed.
