Article Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the regulation of VEGF-Notch signaling pathway on proliferation and apoptosis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in the patients with aplastic anemia (AA).
Methods: The bone marrow specimens of AA patients were collected for isolation and identification of BM MSC. Westen blot was used to detect the expression of VEGF-Notch signaling pathway-related proteins (VEGF, VEGFR, Notch 1, Jagged 1, Delta-like 1 and Hes1). The VEGF (100 ng/ml) and DAPT (γ-secretase inhibitor, 10 μmol/L) were respectively added into MSC culture system in oder to activate and inhibit the signaling transduction of VEGF-Notch in BM MSC. The proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle of MSC in AA patients were detected by CCK8 assay and flow cyfometry. The adipogenic differentiation of BM MSC was detected by oil red O staining.
Results: The VEGF-Notch signaling pathway was significantly inhibited in AA BM tissues and AA MSC (P＜0.05) detected by Western blot. The intervention of VEGF and DAPT significantly activated and inhibited VEGF-Notch signaling in AA MSC, respectively. CCK8 assay showed that VEGF intervention significantly promoted the proliferation of MSC in AA patients (P＜0.05). Flow cytometry showed that VEGF significantly inhibited apoptosis of MSCs by blocking S phase cells (P＜0.05).
Conclusion: The activation of VEGF-Notch can restore the proliferation function of MSC in AA patients.

Ischemic stroke (IS), a leading global cause of mortality and long-term disability, necessitates immediate intervention for eligible patients. Current guidelines mandate intravenous thrombolysis within 4.5 h of symptom onset for individuals without contraindications, achieving vessel recanalization rates up to 85% in treated cohorts.

Introduction: Circulating Extracellular Vesicles (cEVs) could represent new non-invasive biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis in tumors. In the context of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) immunotherapy there's a great need for novel predictive and prognostic biomarkers. This study aims to analyze cEVs microRNAs in serum of advanced stage NSCLC patients with PD-L1 expression ≥50% at diagnosis, before first-line pembrolizumab, to evaluate their possible role as potential biomarkers for immunotherapy response prediction and outcomes.

The premetastatic niche (PMN) represents a metastasis-facilitative microenvironment established prior to tumor dissemination, initiated by vascular leakage and endothelial cell (EC) functional remodeling. ECs play pivotal roles as bridges in different stages of the metastatic cascade. As critical stromal components within the PMN, ECs not only drive angiogenesis but also actively orchestrate immune suppression, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, and the inflammatory signaling characteristic of PMN formation, with multiple specific signaling pathways such as VEGF/Notch playing a crucial role.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Pro-angiogenic therapy aims to stimulate the formation of new blood vessels, thereby enhancing blood flow to tissues and organs. Current strategies, such as growth factors, gene therapy, and cell-based approaches, are widely employed to promote angiogenesis. However, these interventions often suffer from off-target effects and limited efficacy due to the complex regulation of angiogenesis.
