15-Deoxy-Δ12,14-Prostaglandin J2 Inhibits Homing of Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Triggered by Chronic Liver Injury via Redox Pathway by Xin Liu, Shuangshuang Jia, Weiyang Li, Le Yang, Lin Yang, Lin Wang, Liying Li

“…It has been reported that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have capacity to migrate to the damaged liver and contribute to fibrogenesis in chronic liver diseases. 15-Deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2), an endogenous ligand for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), is considered a new inhibitor of cell migration. However, the actions of 15d-PGJ2 on BMSC migration remain unknown. …”

hERG activators exhibit antitumor effects in breast cancer through calcineurin and β-catenin-mediated signaling pathways by Yan Yu, Chengchun Zhu, Xiao Wang, Ying Shi, Yiping Gao, Zhiyi Yu

“…The observed reduction in phospho-AKT-Ser473 (pAKTS473) expression resulted in the decreased levels of phospho-GSK3β-Ser9 (pGSK3βS9), thereby limiting the nuclear localization of β-catenin, which led to the inhibition of cell migration and invasion. Notably, combining SDUY429 or SDUY436 with the AKT inhibitor MK-2206 produced synergistic anti-proliferative effects.ConclusionThese findings suggest that hERG activators hold promise as new potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of breast cancer, paving the way for future investigations into their clinical applications.…”
