Curcumin Mitigates TNFα-Induced Caco-2 Cell Monolayer Permeabilization through Modulation of NF-κB, ERK1/2 and JNK Pathways
[Molecular Nutrition & Food Research] Caco-2 cell monolayers were incubated with TNFα, in the absence or presence of curcumin. TNFα caused an increase in interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 release which was inhibited by curcumin in a dose-dependent manner

Osteoblast-Derived Vesicles Induce a Switch from Bone-Formation to Bone-Resorption In Vivo
[Nature Communications] Scientists identified a specific subset of mature osteoblast-derived extracellular vesicles that inhibited bone formation and enhanced osteoclastogenesis.

18β-Glycyrrhetinic Acid Suppresses Allergic Airway Inflammation through NF-κB and Nrf2/HO-1 Signaling Pathways in Asthma Mice
[Scientific Reports] Investigators evaluated the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of 18β-GA in an ovalbumin-induced asthma mouse model, and examined the role of NF-κB and Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathways.

Enhanced O-GlcNAc Modification Induced by the RAS/MAPK/CDK1 Pathway Is Required for SOX2 Protein Expression and Generation of Cancer Stem Cells
[Scientific Reports] Gene knockout studies revealed that SOX2 was an essential factor for the generation of CSCs by HRASV12 in mouse and human fibroblasts.

Spatial Expression of IKK-Alpha Is Associated with a Differential Mutational Landscape and Survival in Primary Colorectal Cancer
[British Journal of Cancer] Mutational tumour profile was examined using a customised gene panel. Immunofluorescence was used to identify the cellular location of punctate IKKα expression.

Melatonin Suppresses the Metastatic Potential of Osteoblastic Prostate Cancers by Inhibiting Integrin α2β1 Expression
[Journal of Pineal Research] The authors revealed that melatonin concentration-dependently decreased the migratory and invasive abilities of two osteoblastic prostate cancer cell lines by inhibiting FAK, c-Src and NF-κB transcriptional activity via the melatonin MT1 receptor, which effectively inhibited integrin α2β1 expression.
