In human prostatic smooth muscle cells, KCNQ4, KCNQ5, and KCNE4 isoforms were predominantly expressed, while KCNQ1, KCNQ5, and KCNE3 isoforms were the most abundantly expressed in human prostatic tissues.

Restored MicroRNA-519a Enhances the Radiosensitivity of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer via Suppressing EphA2
Researchers investigated the role of miR-519a-targeted ephrinA2 receptor in radiosensitivity of NSCLC. miR-519a and EphA2 expression in non-small cell lung cancer and paracancerous tissues were detected using RT-qPCR and western blot analysis.

Integrin α2β1 Inhibition Attenuates Prostate Cancer Cell Proliferation by Cell Cycle Arrest, Promoting Apoptosis and Reducing Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition
Investigators examined the effects of the inhibitor BTT‐3033, which selectively interferes with the connection between integrin a2b1 and its ligand, on migration, epithelial–mesenchymal transition, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and specific intracellular signaling pathways using LNcap‐FGC and DU‐145 prostate cancer cell lines.

ATF-3 Expression Inhibits Melanoma Growth by Downregulating ERK and AKT Pathways
Investigators demonstrated that activating transcription factor 3 (ATF-3) exhibits tumor suppressive function in melanoma. Significantly low expression of ATF-3 was found in cultured human metastatic melanoma cell lines.

The Flavonol Isoquercitrin Promotes Mitochondrial-Dependent Apoptosis in SK-Mel-2 Melanoma Cell via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR Pathway
The anti-cancer mechanism of Isoquercitrin (IQ) against human melanoma, particularly its effect on the mitochondria-mediated apoptosis, was investigated. Treatment with IQ at 25 μM concentration effectively inhibited the proliferation of SK-MEL-2 skin cancer cells while the same concentration did not exhibit cytotoxicity against human keratinocytes HaCaT.

Human Placenta-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Stimulate Ovarian Function via miR-145 and Bone Morphogenetic Protein Signaling in Aged Rats
Acclimatized 52-week-old female SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: single human placenta derived (hPD)-MSC therapy, multiple hPD-MSC therapy, control, and non-treated groups. hPD-MSC therapy was conducted by tail vein injection into aged rats.

Optimizing Microenvironment by Integrating Negative Pressure and Exogenous Electric Fields via a Flexible Porous Conductive Dressing to Accelerate Wound Healing
Current treatments for nonhealing or chronic wounds were unsatisfactory as they exerted a single effect on one specific activity. Researchers constructed a silver nanowire-based, three-dimensional, porous foam dressing that is flexible and conductive.
