PLGA-based biocompatible nanoparticles improved anti-breast tumor efficacy of 1,25(OH)2D3 through the SOCS3/STAT3/EMT signaling axis by JinJing Pan, Ping Wang, Linghong Xiong, Wenqing Yang, Jie Li, Kai Yang, Bingyan Li

“…Considering that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is downstream of the SOCS3/STAT3/PI3K pathway, our findings also revealed that 1,25(OH)2D3 markedly regulated the expression of EMT markers. Additionally, the inhibitor of STAT3 exhibited inhibitory effects on EMT progression in breast cancer cells. …”

Oxidative Stress and Heme Oxygenase-1 Regulated Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Differentiation by Luca Vanella, Christopher Sanford, Dong Hyun Kim, Nader G. Abraham, Nabil Ebraheim

“…HO-1 participates in the MSC differentiation process shifting the balance of MSC differentiation in favor of the osteoblast lineage by decreasing PPARγ and increasing osteogenic markers such as alkaline phosphatase and BMP-2. In this paper, we define HO-1 as a target molecule in the modulation of adipogenesis and osteogenesis from MSCs and examine the role of the HO system in diabetes, inflammation, osteoporosis, hypertension, and other pathologies, a burgeoning area of research.…”

“…Murine 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cells stimulated with Pam3CSK4 induced the expression of some proinflammatory markers. Therefore, beside TLR4, other toll-like receptors are differentially expressed in human fat tissue, and functional in an adipocyte cell line, suggesting that they might participate omental adipose tissue-related inflammation that occurs in obesity.…”
