Article Abstract
Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC) is complex and heterogeneous, making accurate prognosis and treatment prediction difficult. New therapeutic targets and their mechanisms are urgently needed. This study explored the role of PTTG1 in ovarian cancer via the cGMP-PKG signaling pathway, focusing on its effects on M2 macrophage polarization and EMT progression in EOC cells. Using the GSE135886 database, we performed differential gene expression, pathway enrichment, and immune infiltration analyses to identify key targets influencing EMT and macrophage polarization. We then constructed PTTG1 knockdown and overexpression cell lines to assess the impact of PTTG1 on cell proliferation, migration, invasion, EMT, and macrophage polarization in vitro. Analysis revealed that differentially expressed genes were enriched in the cGMP-PKG pathway and correlated with M2 macrophages. PTTG1 overexpression in A2780 and SK-OV-3 ovarian cancer cells promoted proliferation, invasion, and migration, while enhancing sGC, PKG1, and PKG2 expression to activate the cGMP-PKG pathway and induce M2 macrophage polarization. PTTG1 knockdown produced opposite results, reinforcing our conclusions. This study uncovers a novel mechanism of PTTG1 in ovarian cancer development and suggests it as a potential therapeutic target.

Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) is a pleiotropic cytokine that acts as a central regulator of inflammation and immune responses across diverse organ systems. Functioning upstream in immune activation cascades, MIF influences macrophage polarization, T and B cell differentiation, and cytokine expression through CD74, CXCR2/4/7, and downstream signaling via NF-κB, ERK1/2, and PI3K/AKT pathways. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of MIF's mechanistic functions under both physiological and pathological conditions, highlighting its dual role as a protective mediator during acute stress and as a pro-inflammatory amplifier in chronic disease.

Objectives: To study the molecular mechanisms of LDH-loaded si-NEAT1 for regulating paclitaxel resistance and tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) polarization in breast cancer.
Methods: qRT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of lncRNA NEAT1, miR-133b, and PD-L1 in breast cancer SKBR3 cells and paclitaxel-resistant SKBR3 cells (SKBR3-PR). The effects of transfection with si-NEAT1 and miR-133b mimics on MRP, MCRP and PD-L1 expressions and cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis were investigated using qRT-PCR, Western blotting, scratch and Transwell assays, and flow cytometry.

Objectives: In this study, we explored the mechanism by which DDIT4 influences the polarization phenotypic transformation of macrophages and inflammation through the regulation of mTOR signaling pathway, providing a new mechanism and target for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy.
Methods: The degree of inflammation and injury in renal tissues of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) animal model was evaluated using biochemical assays, renal pathology examinations, and Western blot tests. Podocytes and macrophages were isolated from renal tissues to observe the extent of podocyte injury and the quantity and polarization phenotype of macrophage infiltration.

Regeneration of infected bone defects (IBDs) requires biomaterials capable of dynamically coordinating antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and osteogenic functions. Overcoming the spatiotemporal mismatches in treating IBDs remains a critical challenge. Here, we designed a temporally controlled therapy based on gelatin methacrylate (GelMA)-based nanocomposite hydrogels (GCS) coembedded with sulfur quantum dots (SQDs) nanoenzymes and calcium-phosphorus oligomers (CPOs.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Fever is a prevalent clinical symptom and is usually caused by inflammation or infection. Persistent high fever can lead to delirium, coma and convulsions, causing brain damage. Angong Niuhuang Pill (ANP), a traditional Chinese emergency medicine, has been employed in clinical practice for centuries, with well-documented antipyretic effects.
