Dihydroxystilbenes Prevent Azoxymethane/Dextran Sulfate Sodium-Induced Colon Cancer by Inhibiting Colon Cytokines, a Chemokine, and Programmed Cell Death-1 in C57BL/6J Mice

The three dihydroxystilbenes in this study inhibited colon carcinogenesis and tumor growth as well as increases in colon IL-1β, IL-6, MCP-1, and PD-1 levels in AOM/DDS-treated mice in vivo. The three dihydroxystilbenes also suppressed COX-2 expression in colon tumors in vivo and inhibited PD-1 elevations in M2-THP-1 macrophages in vitro.

Overexpression of Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor in Placenta-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promotes Mitochondrial Biogenesis in Retinal Cells

Researchers overexpressed pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) in placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells (PD-MSCsPEDF) using a nonviral gene delivery system and evaluated the characteristics of PD-MSCsPEDF and their potential regenerative effects on retinal pigment epithelial cells damaged by H2O2-induced oxidative stress.

A Collagen Vα1-Derived Fragment Inhibits FGF-2 Induced-Angiogenesis by Modulating Endothelial Cells Plasticity through Its Heparin-Binding Site

Researchers showed that HEPV bound to FGF2 through its heparin-binding site. Using in vitro and in vivo angiogenesis assays, they showed that HEPV but not the HEPV mutant at the heparin-binding site, inhibited FGF2-dependent angiogenesis.
