Hepatic Stem Cell Numb Gene Is a Potential Target of Huang Qi Decoction against Cholestatic Liver Fibrosis

Cholestatic liver fibrosis rats transplanted into rat bone marrow-derived MSCs with knocked down Numb gene were treated with Huang Qi Decoction (HQD). Simultaneously, Numb gene knockdown was also performed in the WB-F344 cell line and then treated with refined HQD .

Engineered Cardiac Tissues: A Novel In Vitro Model to Investigate the Pathophysiology of Mouse Diabetic Cardiomyopathy

Researchers developed a murine-based engineered cardiac tissues (ECTs) model to investigate cardiac injury produced by advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). One findinf was that AGEs treatment significantly increased the markers of fibrosis (TGF-β, α-SMA, Ctgf, Collagen I-α1, Collagen III-α1, and Fn1) and hypertrophy.

EZH2-Dependent Epigenetic Modulation of Histone H3 Lysine-27 Contributes to Psoriasis by Promoting Keratinocyte Proliferation

The authors found that EZH2 and H3K27me3 were both overexpressed in the epidermis of psoriatic lesional skin compared to normal skin. In vitro, the expression of EZH2 and H3K27me3 was stimulated in human keratinocytes treated with mixture of psoriasis-related cytokines pool.

Repurposing a Novel Anti-Cancer RXR Agonist to Attenuate Acute GVHD and Maintain Graft-Versus-Leukemia Responses

The authors showed that in vivo IRX4204 was compared favorably with FK506 in abrogating acute graft-versus-host disease, which was associated with inhibiting allogeneic donor T cell proliferation, reducing T helper 1 differentiation and promoting regulatory T cell generation.
