Article Abstract
Bones are vital for anchoring muscles, tendons, and ligaments, serving as a fundamental element of the human skeletal structure. However, our understanding of bone development mechanisms and the maintenance of bone homeostasis is still limited. Extracellular signal-related kinase 5 (ERK5), a recently identified member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family, plays a critical role in the pathogenesis and progression of various diseases, especially neoplasms. Recent studies have highlighted ERK5's significant role in both bone development and bone-associated pathologies. This review offers a detailed examination of the latest research on ERK5 in different tissues and diseases, with a particular focus on its implications for bone health. It also examines therapeutic strategies and future research avenues targeting ERK5.

ObjectivesIntimal hyperplasia, which is mainly caused by vascular damage during percutaneous coronary intervention, affects the prognosis of patients who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention. However, it remains unclear whether circulating microparticles, which are also affected by percutaneous coronary intervention, participate in intimal hyperplasia.MethodsIn this applied basic research (also identified as a cross-sectional study), microparticles were obtained from healthy participants (n = 20), patients with serious intimal hyperplasia (n = 33), and patients with mild intimal hyperplasia (n = 33) 1 year after percutaneous coronary intervention.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a very aggressive and lethal malignancy with limited treatment options, a fact that underscores the urgent need for more effective therapies to improve patient outcomes. Preclinical studies have shown promise for αV integrin-targeted therapies; however, clinical trials have been disappointing, highlighting the need for further research. In this study, we demonstrate that integrin subunit alpha V (ITGAV) signals through both mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 4 (SMAD4)-dependent or SMAD4-independent pathways, depending on the genetic context.

The seven transmembrane-spanning lutropin/chorionic gonadotropin receptors (LH/CGRs) trigger extracellular signal-related kinases (ERK1/2) via a noticeable network dependent on either G protein (Gαs) or β-arrestins. LH/CGRs are highly conserved, with the largest region within the transmembrane helices and common N-glycosylation sites in the extracellular domain. We aimed to determine the glycosylation sites that play crucial roles in cAMP and pERK1/2 regulation by constructing four mutants (N49Q, N201Q, N306Q, and N312Q).

Myelination of Schwann cells is a complex biological process that plays a crucial role in peripheral nervous system (PNS) development and repair. Recent studies have indicated that the extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) signaling pathway participates in both developmental PNS myelination and remyelination. This review focuses on recent evidence identifying the roles of the ERK signaling pathway in regulating Schwann cell differentiation, myelination, and remyelination.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) affect the biological functions of granulosa cells (GCs) through multiple mechanisms, including epigenetic regulation, transcriptional regulation, post-translational modification, and cell signaling. Our previous study found that lncRNA NEAT1 expression is significantly downregulated in the GCs of patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR); however, its exact regulatory mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of NEAT1 in GC function and DOR pathogenesis.
