Dermal fibroblasts are responsible from the production of extracellular matrix and take role in the closure of skin wounds. Dermal fibroblasts are major cells of origin in the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs) and are historically being used as feeder layer and biofiller in the restorative surgeries. ex vivo expansion of the dermal fibroblasts provides a suitable model to study skin biology and to engineer bioartifical skins. Thus, development of efficient fibroblast expansion technologies gets outmost importance day by day. We sought to identify small molecules that induce ex vivo fibroblast expansion and understand their mechanisms. We analyzed the effect of 35 small molecules, which are expected to target molecular pathways involving cellular quiescence. We have found that small molecules, especially AS1949490 and SKF96365, increase human dermal fibroblast expansion of at least three different fibroblasts. Cell cycle analysis confirms that these small molecules allow cell cycle progression, as evident by increased percentage of cells in S-G2 -M phase of cell cycle. They led to a lower profile of apoptotic or necrotic fibroblasts. Intriguingly, we have found that identified small molecules could also endogenously induce the expression of IPSC generation, collagen synthesis, and aging-related genes. Identified small molecules may contribute to the induction of collagen synthesis in the biofiller products, the development of fibroblast products with better aging profile, and the improvement of IPSC generation.Cancer cells have high iron requirements due to their rapid growth and proliferation. Iron depletion using iron chelators has a potential in cancer treatment. Previous studies have demonstrated that deferoxamine (DFO) specifically chelates Fe(III) and exhibited antitumor activity in clinical studies. However, its poor pharmacokinetics has limited the therapeutic potential and practical application. Although polymeric iron chelators have been developed to increase the blood retention, none of previous studies has demonstrated their potential in iron chelation cancer therapy. Here, we developed polymeric DFO by the covalent conjugation of DFO to poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(aspartic acid) (PEG-PAsp) block copolymers. The polymeric DFO exhibited iron-chelating ability comparable with free DFO, thereby arresting cell cycle and inducing apoptosis and antiproliferative activity. After intravenous administration, the polymeric DFO showed marked increase in blood retention and tumor accumulation in subcutaneous tumor models. Consequently, polymeric DFO showed significant suppression of the tumor growth compared with free DFO. This study reveals the first success of the design of polymeric DFO for enhancing iron chelation cancer therapy.As a result of human socio-economic activity, industrial wastes have increased alarmingly. Plastic pollution is globally distributed across the world due to its properties of buoyancy and durability. Two broad classes of plastic-related chemicals are of critical concern for human health-bisphenol-A or BPA, and additives used in the synthesis of plastics, which are known as phthalates. Our exposure to them is ubiquitous because they are used in the production of materials that we use daily such as polycarbonate plastics, epoxy resins, flooring, automotive parts, medical devices, dental sealants, and children's toys. Since these compounds are not covalently bound to the products, they easily leach from them, leading to high human exposure. Both, BPA and phthalates, are endocrine-disruptor compounds (EDCs) with steroidogenic activity, and can bind to different receptors, such as estrogen, androgen, PPAR-γ, and AhR. These pathways are part of the complex regulatory neuroendocrine network, since its cellular components not only express neuroendocrine receptors, but synthesize and respond to several hormones and other endocrine ligands. On the other hand, the effects of BPA and phthalates on neuroendocrine diseases have been poorly studied and the available data are inconclusive. This can be attributed to the enormous variety of animal models and the different doses used in experiments or levels found in humans. However, what is clear is that exposure to both EDCs during critical life stages induces many changes in the neuroendocrine system of exposed humans that are correlated with different reproductive and neurological diseases.Dysfunctional regulatory T lymphocytes are important for the pathogenesis of psoriasis and atherosclerosis. We analyzed the severity of atherosclerosis and the concentration of regulatory cytokines in patients with psoriasis who were administered methotrexate or adalimumab for 12 weeks. We included 34 patients with psoriasis (17 each, administered methotrexate or adalimumab) and eight healthy volunteers. BMI, psoriasis area and severity index (PASI), body surface area (BSA), and at least 75% and 90% improvements in PASI were observed. The 10-year risk of fatal cardiovascular disease was estimated using Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation charts. The plasma interleukin (IL)-10, IL-35, and transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) levels were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay before and after the 12-week treatment regimen. NLRP3 inhibitor PASI (P = .0006) and BSA (P = .0001) were positively correlated with the BMI, IL-35 (-0.38), and IL-10 (0.48) levels. Baseline IL-35 concentrations were the highest in healthy volunteers; the IL-10 and TGF-β1 level were the highest in the methotrexate group. IL-10 concentration decreased in both treatment groups (P = .02 for the methotrexate and P = .09 for adalimumab group), and IL-35 decreased in the adalimumab group (P = .019), consistent with skin lesion recovery. Thus, this study demonstrates the dysregulated secretion of regulatory cytokines in psoriatic patients under systemic treatment.
To compare foot joint kinetics and energetics in male paediatric boys with and without blood-induced ankle joint destruction to these of matched control groups.
A cross-sectional study was conducted in which 3D gait analysis data were collected from thirty-five male children (6-21years) with severe or moderate haemophilia and twenty-six typically developing boys. Structural integrity of the tarsal foot joints of all haemophilic patients was assessed using the IPSG-MRI scale. All participants walked barefoot while adopting a physiological gait pattern. Three subgroups were created based on the IPSG-MRI scores a group with no joint involvement (HealthyHaemo), with uni- or bilaterally involvement (PathoHaemo) and with only unilaterally involvement (Haemo_Unilateral_Patho).
The PathoHaemo group presented a significant lower Lisfranc peak dorsiflexion angular velocity (34.7°/s vs 71.4°/s, P=.000, Cohen d=1.31) and a significantly higher Lisfranc peak plantarflexion angular velocity (-130.5°/s vs -51.8°/s, P=.
