Mechanism of Bushen Zhuangjin Decoction to Promote BMSCs Homing and Protect Articular Cartilage in Mice by the SDF-1/CXCR4 Axis by HUANG Yanfeng, MA Dezun, FU Changlong, YE Jinxia, HUANG Yunmei, LI Xihai

“…ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Bushen Zhuangjin Decoction (BZD) regulates the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis to promote the homing of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and protect articular cartilage in mice, thereby providing experimental basis for the rehabilitation treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA).Methods(1) In the animal experiment, 30 SPF male C57BL/6 mice, 8 weeks old, were selected and randomly divided into sham group, model group and BZD group, with 10 mice in each group. …”

miR-142 deficit in T cells during blast crisis promotes chronic myeloid leukemia immune escape by Fang Chen, Dandan Zhao, Yongfang Xu, Yi Zhang, Min-Hsuan Chen, Khyatiben V. Pathak, Nate Hansen, Brooke Lovell, Yong Liang, Katrina Estrella, Wei-Le Wang, Lucy Ghoda, Russell Rockne, Xiwei Wu, Haris Ali, Jianhua Yu, Michael A. Caligiuri, Stephen J. Forman, Jeff M. Trent, Ya-Huei Kuo, Ling Li, Piotr Swiderski, Jianying Zhang, Marcin Kortylewski, Le Xuan Truong Nguyen, Patrick Pirrotte, Mark Boldin, Guido Marcucci, Bin Zhang

“…Abstract We reported that an acquired miR-142 deficit transforms chronic phase (CP) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) leukemic stem cells (LSCs) into blast crisis (BC) LSCs. Given the role of miR-142 in the development and activity of the immune system, we postulated that this deficit also promotes LSC immune escape. …”

“…Therefore, we applied a collaborative approach to harmonize several aspects of experimental methodology between different research laboratories, aiming to assess the comparability of different models of human airway epithelium in the context of respiratory viral infections.MethodsIn this study, we compared three different models of human respiratory epithelium: a primary human bronchial epithelial cell-derived ALI transwell model, and two airway organoid models established from human airway- and lung-derived adult stem cells. We first assessed the presence of various differentiated cell types using immunofluorescence microscopy. …”
