Article Abstract
Objective: To study the influence of Cefaclor and Prednisonum to the expression of cell adhesion molecule in experimental otitis media with effusion (OME).
Method: SD rats models of OME were made using formalin killed nontypeable Hemophilus influenzae and the expression of adhesion molecules Mac-1 and L-Selectin was analysed by flow cytometry using white blood cell obtained by cardiac puncture in control, bacterial and medicine groups. The pathology of middle ear mucosa was investigated to understand the relationship between the expression of adhesion molecules and the pathology.
Result: It was found that the expression of adhesion molecules Mac-1 and L-Selection in bacteria group increased obviously with pathological change of the middle ear mucosa. Cefaclor and Prednisonum could decrease the expression of adhesion molecules and inhibited the leukocyte accumulation in the middle ear cavity though there was no significant differences except for the L-Selectin in the Cefaclor group between the bacteria group and the medicine group.
Conclusion: Dead bacteria in the middle ear may act as an antigen to induce the inflammatory response and effusion of the middle ear. The expression of adhesion molecules Mac-1 and L-Selectin is highly related to the inflammatory response. Cefaclor and Prednisonum may improve otitis media with effusion, which may related to the decreasing expression of Mac-1 and L-Selectin.

Purpose: We aimed to compare the effects of atelocollagen (AC) and individual growth factors on the expression of key molecular markers associated with tendon healing.
Methods: C2C12 myoblasts were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) containing 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and treated with 1 nM or 10 nM of Atelocollagen (AC), bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), or vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) for 5 days. After 5 days of treatment, cells were harvested from the culture medium, and Western blot analysis was performed to quantify the expression of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK), Collagen type I (Col I), Collagen type Ⅲ (Col Ⅲ), and Tenascin C (TnC).

Entomopathogenic nematode symbiotic bacteria (EPNB) enhance nematode insecticidal capacity through symbiosis. This study cloned the complete 32-kb type III secretion system (T3SS) gene cluster from TT01 using Red/ET recombineering and functionally expressed it in T3SS-deficient HN_xs01. Heterologous T3SS expression significantly enhanced HN_xs01 adhesion and invasion capabilities in CF-203 cells.

During embryonic development, neural crest-derived melanoblasts, which are precursors of pigment-producing melanocytes, disperse throughout the skin by long-range cell migration that requires adhesion to the ECM. Members of the integrin family of cell-ECM adhesion receptors are thought to contribute to melanocyte migration . However, due to the functional redundancy between different integrin heterodimers, the precise role of integrins in melanoblast migration, as well as the mechanisms that regulate them in this process, especially in contexts, remain poorly understood.

In eukaryotic systems, three major types of cell junctions have been well characterized. While bacterial adhesion mechanisms also exhibit remarkable diversity, the molecular processes that regulate the dynamic modulation of binding strength between elongated bacterial cells and host cells remain poorly understood. () utilizes the surface adhesin CbpF to interact with the highly expressed host receptors CEACAM1 and CEACAM5 on cancer cells to facilitate tumor colonization.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality; however, biomarkers predicting its immunotherapy resistance remain scarce. Vascular cell adhesion molecule ()-, an immune cell adhesion mediator, is implicated in tumor progression; however, its prognostic and immunomodulatory roles in GC remain unclear.
Methods: In this study, we analyzed expression and its clinical relevance in GC using RNA-sequencing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas.
