Brain metastases (BM) affect 20-30% of cancer patients, primarily originating from lung cancer, breast cancer, and melanoma. Despite advances in molecular-targeted therapies, brain metastatic disease remains incurable, with a poor median survival of ≤12 months if left untreated. The lack of therapeutic efficacy is mainly attributed to the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and genetic differences between BM and their primary tumors. Previously published data have identified potential driver mutations of BM. However, the mechanisms underlying brain cancer dissemination remain unknown. Recent studies emphasize the pivotal role of metabolic adaptations in supporting the metastatic process, particularly in the nutrient-poor microenvironment characteristic of the brain. Understanding the interplay between metabolism and genetic alterations associated with brain metastatic disease could unveil novel therapeutic targets that are more effective in treating patients.

The infrapatellar fat pad (IFP) harbors mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) with potent immunomodulatory and regenerative properties, making them a promising candidate for OA treatment. A growing body of evidence suggests that the therapeutic effects of MSC are largely mediated by their extracellular vesicles (EVs), which carry bioactive cargo that modulates inflammation and tissue repair. However, optimizing MSC-derived EVs as a cell-free therapeutic approach requires an in-depth understanding of how culture conditions and inflammatory/hormonal priming influence their functional properties. In this study, IFP-MSC were expanded in regulatory-compliant human platelet lysate (HPL) and xeno-/serum-free (XFSF) media and primed with an inflammatory/fibrotic cocktail (TIC) with oxytocin (OXT) to assess the impact on their immunophenotypic profile and EV cargo. The immunophenotype confirmed that TIC+OXT-primed MSC retained key immunomodulatory surface markers, while EV characterization verified the successful isolation of CD63+/CD9+ vesicles. Pathway enrichment analysis of both HPL- and XFSF- TIC+OXT EVs cargo identified key miRNAs associated with immune regulation, tissue repair, and anabolic signaling. Functional assays revealed that TIC+OXT EVs promoted M2-like anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization and exhibited chondroprotective properties in chondrocytes/synoviocytes inflammatory osteoarthritic assay. These findings highlight the therapeutic potential of TIC+OXT-primed IFP-MSC-derived EVs as immunomodulatory and chondroprotective agents, offering a promising strategy for OA treatment through a clinically viable, cell-free approach.</p>","PeriodicalId":9743,"journal":{"name":"Cells","volume":"14 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12109853/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144149458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current paper explores the emergent phenomena underlying the pathogenesis of pulmonary emphysema, a disease characterized by progressive airspace enlargement. The competitive relationship between mechanical strain imposed on alveolar walls and a countervailing increase in elastin crosslinking to prevent alveolar wall rupture leads to airspace enlargement as the balance between these two processes shifts toward increasing lung injury. This phase transition is also accompanied by an accelerated release of peptide-free elastin-specific desmosine crosslinks as the mean alveolar wall diameter begins to increase, suggesting their potential use as a biomarker for the molecular changes that precede the development of pulmonary emphysema.

E2 also increased the expression of secretory proteins, including amphiregulin (AREG), angiogenin, artemin, and CXCL16.

We treated ER+ breast cancer cells with lapatinib to inhibit the AREG/EGFR signaling pathway and then completely inhibited E2-induced cell proliferation and S-phase induction. Similar to the lapatinib treatment, cell proliferation, S-phase induction, cell migration, and tumor growth were suppressed by AREG knockdown. Taken together, we demonstrated that the induction of AREG by E2 contributes to EGFR activation, which then affects cell proliferation and tumor growth.
