Synthetic Fluorinated L-Fucose Analogs Inhibit Proliferation of Cancer Cells and Primary Endothelial Cells

Researchers describe the design and synthesis of a panel of fluorinated L-fucose analogs bearing fluorine atoms at the C2 and/or C6 positions of L-fucose as metabolic fucosylation inhibitors. Preliminary study of their effects on cell proliferation revealed that the 6,6-difluoro-L-fucose and 6,6,6-trifluoro-L-fucose showed significant inhibitory activity against proliferation of human colon cancer cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells.

Protein Kinase C Inhibitor Anchored BRD4 PROTAC PEGylated Nanoliposomes for the Treatment of Vemurafenib-Resistant Melanoma

Palmitoyl-dl-carnitine chloride was used as a protein kinase C inhibitor to provide a cationic surface charge to LARPC. The formulation was characterized for particle size, zeta potential, drug release and various cell culture assays using HUVEC and vemurafenib resistant melanoma cells.

Arterial Endothelium Creates a Permissive Niche for Expansion of Human Cord Blood Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells

A novel strategy was developed to support ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells by coculture with engineered human umbilical arterial endothelial cells, which expressed E4ORF1 stably by using a retroviral system.

Berberine Improves Intralipid-Induced Insulin Resistance in Murine

Scientists showed that berberine administration markedly ameliorated intralipid-induced insulin without affecting blood glucose, which was accompanied by alleviated mitochondrial swelling in skeletal muscle. They used human skeletal muscle cells, AML12 hepatocytes, HUVECs, and CypD knockout mice to investigate metabolic and molecular alternations.

The Histone Lysine Methyltransferase SETD8 Regulates Angiogenesis through HES-1 in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells

The authors showed that BVT-948-mediated SETD8 inhibition in HUVECs resulted in an inhibition of angiogenesis. Inhibition of SETD8 not only inhibited angiogenesis but also disrupted actin stress fiber formation and induced cell cycle arrest at S phase.

Reduced Intracellular Chloride Concentration Impairs Angiogenesis by Inhibiting Oxidative Stress-Mediated VEGFR2 Activation
