Research Spotlight - September 2023
This month, we're excited to spotlight a selection of cutting-edge research studies that have benefited from Boster Bio's high-quality products.
Several studies this month deepen our understanding of disease mechanisms, including the role of pancreatic acinar cells in chronic pancreatitis fibrosis and the intriguing connections between the PCCB gene, associated with schizophrenia, and GABAergic pathways.
On the therapeutic front, different innovative methods have emerged, from an injectable hydrogel for osteoarthritis therapy to the promising rapid antidepressant-like effects of the connexin hemichannel inhibitor D4. Immunotherapy has also taken a front seat, with new research on IL2Rbg targeting combined with radiotherapy in HNSCC, and the screening of potential vaccines against Mycoplasma synoviae.

Pancreatic Acinar Cells-Derived Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Contributes to Fibrosis of Chronic Pancreatitis via Inducing Autophagy and Activation of Pancreatic Stellate Cells
Authors: Wang, D., Han, S., Lv, G., Hu, Y., Zhuo, W., Zeng, Z., Tang, J…
Journal: Gastroenterology
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Studies have demonstrated that the activated pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) play a crucial role in pancreatic fibrogenesis in chronic pancreatitis (CP), while the precise mechanism for PSCs activation has not been fully elucidated. We analyzed that the role of injured pancreatic acinar cells (iPACs)...

Journal: Cell Reports Medicine
The implementation of cancer immunotherapies has seen limited clinical success in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Interleukin-2 (IL-2), which modulates the survival and functionality of lymphocytes, is an attractive target for new immunotherapies but one that is limited by presence of regulatory T cells (Tregs)...

Journal: Nature Communications
Identifying genes whose expression is associated with schizophrenia (SCZ) risk by transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) facilitates downstream experimental studies. Here, we integrated multiple published datasets of TWAS, gene coexpression, and differential gene expression analysis to prioritize SCZ candidate genes for functional...

Injectable Photocrosslinking Spherical Hydrogel-Encapsulated Targeting Peptide-Modified Engineered Exosomes for Osteoarthritis Therapy
Authors: Wan, J., He, Z., Peng, R., Wu, X., Zhu, Z., Cui, J., Hao, X., Chen, A…
Journal: Journal of Nanobiotechnology
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease urgently needing effective treatments. Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cell-derived exosomes (Exo) are considered good drug carriers whereas they have limitations such as fast clearance and low retention. This study aimed to overcome the limitations of Exo in drug delivery...

LncRNA DGCR5-Encoded Polypeptide RIP Aggravates SONFH by Repressing Nuclear Localization of b-catenin in BMSCs
Authors: Jiang, W., Chen, Y., Sun, M., Huang, X., Zhang, H., Fu, Z., Wang, J…
Journal: Cell Reports
The differentiation fate of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) affects the progression of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH). We find that lncRNA DGCR5 encodes a 102-amino acid polypeptide, RIP (Rac1 inactivated peptide), which promotes the adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs and aggravates the progression...

Journal: Cell Death & Disease
Tumor-derived exosomes and their contents promote cancer metastasis. Phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (PGAM1) is involved in various cancer-related processes. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism of exosomal PGAM1 in prostate cancer (PCa) metastasis remains unclear. In this study, we performed in vitro and in vivo to determine the functions...
