Characteristics and Spatially-Defined Immune (Micro)landscapes of Early-Stage PD-L1-Positive Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

A large cohort of chemotherapy-naïve triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), clinicopathologic features, deconvoluted RNA immune signatures, and intraepithelial and stromal TIME were identified in subsets of PD-L1+ and PD-L1- TNBC.

The Arachidonic Acid Metabolite 11,12-Epoxyeicosatrienoic Acid Alleviates Pulmonary Fibrosis

Liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry was used to analyze epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) in the lung tissues of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and controls, and the function of 11,12-EET was evaluated in in vitro and in vivo in pulmonary fibrosis models.

Integrin α2β1 Regulates Collagen I Tethering to Modulate Hyperresponsiveness in Reactive Airway Disease Models

Researchers showed that another member of the integrin superfamily, integrin α2β1, was present in airway smooth muscle and capable of regulating force transmission via cellular tethering to the matrix protein collagen I, and to a lesser degree, laminin-111.

The TLR-2/TonEBP Signaling Pathway Regulates 29-kDa Fibronectin Fragment-Dependent Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinases

Investigators examined whether tonicity-responsive enhancer-binding protein (TonEBP) was involved in 29-kDa fibronectin fragments-induced expression of MMPs. The expression of TonEBP was significantly higher in human osteoarthritis compared with normal cartilage samples.

Fibrotic Extracellular Matrix Induces Release of Extracellular Vesicles with Pro-Fibrotic miRNA from Fibrocytes

The extracellular vesicles of fibrocytes derived from fibrotic lungs significantly upregulated the expression of col1a1 of fibroblasts. Culturing on rigid plates or fibrotic decellularised lung scaffolds increased miR-21-5 p expression compared with soft plates or normal lung scaffolds.
