Article Abstract
The paracrine crosstalk between amniotic-derived membranes (AMs)/epithelial cells (AECs) and immune cells is pivotal in tissue healing following inflammation. Despite evidence collected to date, gaps in understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms have hindered clinical applications. The present study represents a significant step forward demonstrating that amphiregulin (AREG) orchestrates the native immunomodulatory functions of amniotic derivatives via the COX-2/PGE/EP4 axis. The results highlight the immunosuppressive efficacy of PGE-dependent AREG release, dampening PBMCs' activation, and NFAT pathway in Jurkat reporter cells via TGF-β signaling. Moreover, AREG emerges as a key protein mediator by attenuating acute inflammatory response in zebrafish larvae. Notably, the interplay of diverse COX-2/PGE pathway activators enables AM/AEC to adapt rapidly to external stimuli (LPS and/or stretching) through a responsive positive feedback loop on the AREG/EGFR axis. These findings offer valuable insights for developing innovative cell-free therapies leveraging the potential of amniotic derivatives in immune-mediated diseases and regenerative medicine.

Farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a nuclear receptor, is expressed in calvaria and bone marrow stromal cells and plays a role in bone homeostasis. However, the mechanism of FXR-activated osteoblast differentiation remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the regulatory mechanism underlying FXR-activated osteoblast differentiation using bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2)-induced mouse ST-2 mesenchymal stem cells.

Article Synopsis
- Vertebral endplate defects may be linked to degenerative disc disorders, but their impact on patient-reported symptoms is not well understood, highlighting the need for this study.
- The research aims to explore the relationship between endplate defects and chronic low back pain, particularly focusing on the role of inflammatory markers COX-2, PGE-2, and the EP-4 receptor in patients' experiences of pain.
- The study included 71 patients who had specific surgeries, measuring various outcomes such as pain levels and endplate defect scores to determine differences between those with and without defects.

Aims: Immune stress in broiler chickens is characterized by the development of persistent pro-inflammatory responses that contribute to degradation of production performance. However, the underlying mechanisms that cause growth inhibition of broilers with immune stress are not well defined.
Methods: A total of 252 1-day-old Arbor Acres(AA) broilers were randomly allocated to three groups with six replicates per group and 14 broilers per replicate.
Inhibition of PGE/EP4 receptor signaling enhances oxaliplatin efficacy in resistant colon cancer cells through modulation of oxidative stress.

The platinum-based chemotherapeutic agent, oxaliplatin, is used to treat advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). Unfortunately, nearly all patients acquire resistance to oxaliplatin after long-term use, limiting its therapeutic efficacy. Since COX-2 and PGE signaling can impact colon cancer cell proliferation and survival, we examined how this pathway was affected in an oxaliplatin resistant colon cancer cell line.
