As current pharmacologic and surgical treatments remain suboptimal, increasing attention has been directed toward exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) as alternative therapeutic approaches. MSCs are multipotent stromal cells that can be isolated from various human tissues such as bone marrow, adipose, umbilical cord and periodontal ligament. Exosomes are cell-derived membrane-bound vesicles enclosing RNAs, proteins, growth factors, and cytokines. Previous studies indicate that the anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and regenerative effects of MSCs are largely mediated by MSC-derived exosomes (MSC-Exos). Therefore, this review outlines current insights into the molecular mechanisms of MSC-Exos in IBD treatment to support the future development of MSC-Exos as a therapeutic strategy, thus providing novel observations into the clinical applications of MSC-Exos in IBD management.</p>","PeriodicalId":49194,"journal":{"name":"Human Cell","volume":"38 4","pages":"111"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144162792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Precursor hematopoietic cells with a high glycosylation level greatly expressed hematopoietic regulation and vascular endothelial genes, suggesting that glycosylation is associated with angiogenesis and hematopoietic regulation. The multiple differentiation events in the in vitro model are similar to those in hematopoietic development in vivo, including yolk sac hematopoiesis, cellular communication between non-potential hematopoietic subsets and potential hematopoietic subsets, gene expression, and temporal deviations in hematopoietic fate.

Although multimodal therapies have improved outcomes for localized MLPS, the prognosis for recurrent or metastatic MLPS cases remains poor, underscoring the need for novel therapeutic strategies. Patient-derived cell lines are essential tools in cancer research, providing various opportunities for discovery to the researchers.

NCC-MLPS4-C1 was derived from the surgically resected tumor of a 48-year-old male patient with MLPS. We performed molecular and phenotypic characterization and high-throughput drug screening to evaluate its potential as a preclinical model. Genetic analysis confirmed the presence of the FUS::DDIT3 fusion gene in the original tumor and NCC-MLPS4-C1. NCC-MLPS4-C1 demonstrated stable proliferation, in vitro spheroid-forming ability, and invasive characteristics. We demonstrated that NCC-MLPS4-C1 is applicable for the global experiments such as drug screening.

KDEL Endoplasmic Reticulum Protein Retention Receptor 3 (KDELR3) is a critical regulator of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and the followed unfolded protein response (UPR) process, which are critical in tumor development. However, the role of KDELR3 in LUAD tumor progression remains poorly understood. In this work, we demonstrated that KDELR3 is significantly upregulated in LUAD tumor tissues and cell lines. Suppression of KDELR3 promoted the phosphorylation level of UPR-related pathways, PERK, and EIF2α in LUAD cell lines. The downregulation of KDELR3 promoted ER stress-induced cell apoptosis, decreased the protein expression of Bcl-2, and increased the protein expression of Bax in LUAD cells. Moreover, the knockdown of KDELR3 inhibits LUAD cell invasion. In vivo animal experiments confirmed that the inhibition of KDELR3 suppresses LUAD tumor growth and metastasis. Mechanistic studies showed that transcription factor FOXM1 may serve as an upstream factor of KDELR3. The upregulation of FOXM1 increased the transcriptional activity of KDELR3. Further results illustrated that FOXM1 directly binds to the promoter of KDELR3, thus upregulating its expression. Finally, rescue experiments demonstrated that FOXM1 inhibition-induced cell apoptosis and invasion could be reversed by KDELR3 overexpression.

Besides, ITGA5 knockdown decreased the phosphorylation level of FAK, TAK-1, and p65.
