Article Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that the peptide mimicking small extracellular ring domain of CD82 (CD82EC1-mP) could inhibit tumor cell motility and metastasis. However, its acting mechanism is not understood. Here, we reported that the cell motility-inhibitory function of CD82EC1-mP was involved in the downregulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Both vimentin and E-cadherin are EMT makers. We found that CD82EC1-mP could inhibit the expression of vimentin, but promot the expression of E-cadherin, suggesting that CD82EC1-mP suppressed EMT. Hippo/YAP and Wnt/β-catenin are both key signal pathways that regulate the EMT process. The futher studies showed that CD82EC1-mP couled activate GSK3β, promote the phosphorylation of β-catenin, and inhibit the β-catenin nuclear location. Moreover, CD82EC1-mP couled activate Hipoo kinase cascade, promote the phosphorylation of YAP, and inhibit the YAP nuclear location. These results suggested that CD82EC1-mP inhibited invation and matestasis via inhibiting EMT through downregulating Wnt pathway and upregulating Hippo pathway.

Aggregation of the amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) characterises and probably causes Alzheimer's disease. While lipid-mediated Aβ aggregation has been extensively studied for the 40-residue variant Aβ40, the interaction of the 42-residue variant Aβ42 with membranes has received less attention. Our time-resolved infrared spectra demonstrate that Aβ42 oligomers preserve their β-sheet structure in aqueous solution also in a membrane-mimicking environment consisting of either 1-hexadecanoyl-2-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC, zwitterionic) or 1-hexadecanoyl-2-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'racglycerol) (POPG, anionic) vesicles.

Cellular prion protein (PrP) is a glycoprotein tethered to the plasma membrane via a GPI-anchor, and it plays a crucial role in prion diseases by undergoing conformational change to PrP. To generate a knock-in (KI) mouse model expressing bank vole PrP (BVPrP), a KI targeting construct was designed. However, a Prnp gene sequence that encodes PrP lacking seven C-terminal amino acid residues of the GPI-anchoring signal sequence (GPI-SS) was unintentionally introduced into the construct.

Heterotopic pancreas is a congenital malformation of various shapes and origins and is usually asymptomatic, which can simulate benign tumors on imaging, so diagnosis usually requires biopsy or surgical resection. We present a young woman with abdominal distension who was found to have a gastric mass that was suspected to be a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) by gastroscopy and enhanced CT. 68Ga-NOTA-RM26 PET/CT, a novel imaging modality targeting the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR), also showed intense uptake in the mass.

Sclerostin, a key regulator of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, exhibits dual therapeutic potential in bone disorders: its inhibition promotes bone formation in osteoporosis, while its mimicry suppresses aberrant bone growth in osteoarthritis (OA). Using structural insights from NMR studies, we identified two sclerostin-derived peptides: SC-1 (an 18-mer) from loop 2, and SC-3 (a 14-mer) from loop 3. Molecular modeling showed that SC-1 binds to the first ectodomain of LRP6, potentially displacing sclerostin through competitive inhibition to activate Wnt signaling.

Bone marrow (BM), a natural niche rich in growth factors and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), provides an optimal regenerative microenvironment and is widely used in clinical applications. However, the limited proliferative capacity of BMSCs and the mismatch between bone regeneration and growth factors release constrain their effectiveness in treating critical bone defects. Drawing inspiration from the regenerative properties of BM, we developed self-assembled hybrid microspheres to replicate its function and address these challenges through a tissue engineering approach.
