Evaluation of Angiogenic Signaling Molecules Associated with Reactive Thrombocytosis in an Iron-Deficient Rat Model

A review of the bone marrow showed an increase in the number of megakaryocytes, vascular structures, as well as increased intensity of stain for VEGF, and CXC chemokine receptor 4 in rats with iron deficiency anemia compared to controls.

Fenofibrate Attenuates Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiac Dysfunction in Mice via Activating the eNOS/EPC Pathway

Investigators tested whether fenofibrate, with its anti-inflammatory and vasoprotective effects, could improve myocardial function by activating endothelial progenitor cells through the eNOS pathway in a doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy mouse model.

LINC00337 Promotes Tumor Angiogenesis in Colorectal Cancer by Recruiting DNMT1, Which Suppresses the Expression of CNN1

Researchers defined the role of LINC00337 in the malignant phenotypes, especially angiogenesis, of colorectal cancer (CRC) and clarified the underlying molecular basis. Bioinformatic analyses identified promoter region methylation of CNN1 in CRC, which was further validated by BSP and MSP assays.

Circ6401, a Novel Circular RNA, Is Implicated in Repair of the Damaged Endometrium by Wharton’s Jelly-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells through Regulation of the miR-29b-1-5p/RAP1B Axis

Wharton’s jelly (WJ)-MSCs were cocultured with or without endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) damaged by mifepristone. TUNEL staining assays, EdU proliferation assays, flow cytometry apoptosis assays, and western blot assays were performed to observe the reparative effect of WJ-MSCs on damaged ESCs.
