Article Abstract
Objective: Considering that the αvβ3 integrin plays an important role in tumor metastasis, this study investigated the involvement of these pathways in mediating the triiodothyronine (T3) effects on amphiregulin () expression.
Materials And Methods: We treated MCF-7 cells with T3 (10 nM) for 1 hour in the presence or absence of inhibitors for αvβ3 integrin (RGD peptide), MAPK (PD98059), PI3K (LY294002), and protein synthesis (cycloheximide [CHX]). A control group (C) received no T3 or inhibitors. Analyses of mRNA and protein expression were done using RT-qPCR and Western blot, respectively.
Results: We observed that T3 increased expression, an effect that was suppressed by all inhibitors. This finding indicates that the activation of the αvβ3 integrin signaling pathway, via PI3K, MAPK/ERK, is necessary for the T3-mediated effects on expression and highlights the involvement of nongenomic mechanisms. In addition, CHX completely abolished T3-induced mRNA expression, indicating that this effect requires prior protein synthesis.
Conclusion: The identification that T3 acts through this signaling pathway holds considerable potential for clinical application, as it could lead to the development of specific drugs to block it.

Background: Megakaryocyte (MK) fragmentation into proplatelets (PPTs) and microparticles (MKMPs) is well established, yet the mechanisms underlying MKMP generation remain unclear.
Objectives: In order to investigate the role of integrin β3 and cytoskeletal dynamics during megakaryopoiesis and explore potential therapeutic targets for thrombocytopenia.
Methods: Proplatelet formation and MKMP release were evaluated both in vivo and in vitro under integrin β3 receptor impaired environment.

Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), chemotherapy, and molecular targeted therapies have improved survival rates, therapeutic resistance remains a major barrier to curative outcomes. Recently, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) has been implicated in lung cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) is frequently characterized by pathological mossy fiber sprouting (MFS), which is a defining indicator of aberrant synaptic remodeling within the hippocampus. Despite extensive investigations of the molecular underpinnings of MFS, they remain only partially elucidated. Synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) is a key modulator of neurotransmitter exocytosis that has been associated with epileptogenesis.

Resident macrophages play integral roles in maintaining tissue homeostasis and function. In the skin, prenatally seeded, specialized macrophages patrol sensory nerves and contribute to their regeneration after injury. However, mechanisms underlying the long-lasting postnatal commitment of these nerve-associated macrophages remain largely elusive.

Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) represents a critical barrier to effective mild-temperature photothermal therapy (MPTT), limiting its clinical utility in aggressive cancers like triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). While small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated HSP70 suppression offers a promising solution, optimal timing for this therapeutic combination remains unexplored. Here, it is demonstrated that precisely timed administration significantly enhances MPTT efficacy through systematic temporal characterization of HSP70 expression dynamics.
