Progress on effects of BaP exposure on female reproductive system and pathogenic mechanisms by Qianqian GAO, Xiaoling FENG

“…Studies have shown that BaP is reproductively toxic and is involved in diseases related to the female reproductive system by affecting the secretion of ovarian hormones, interfering with the function of ovarian mitochondria (affecting oocyte maturation), affecting embryo development (interfering with the migration of trophoblast cells, invasion, proliferation, apoptosis) and the process of metaplasia. …”

Immune Privilege as an Intrinsic CNS Property: Astrocytes Protect the CNS against T-Cell-Mediated Neuroinflammation by Ulrike Gimsa, N. Avrion Mitchison, Monika C. Brunner-Weinzierl

“…They are also able to abrogate or reprogram T-cell responses by inducing apoptosis or secreting inhibitory mediators. We consider apparently contradictory functions of astrocytes in health and disease, particularly in their interaction with lymphocytes, which may either aggravate or suppress neuroinflammation.…”

Functional Live-Cell Imaging Demonstrates that β-Integrin Promotes Type IV Collagen Degradation by Breast and Prostate Cancer Cells by Mansoureh Sameni, Julie Dosescu, Kenneth M. Yamada, Bonnie F. Sloane, Dora Cavallo-Medved

“…Decreased extracellular matrix degradation also was associated with changes in the constituents of proteolytic pathways: decreases in secretion of the cysteine protease cathepsin B, the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13, and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP)-1 and 2; a decrease in expression of MMP-14 or membrane type 1 MMP; and an increase in secretion of TIMP-3. …”

The regulatory role of placental extracellular vesicle on trophoblast and endothelial cell functions by Kunfeng Bai, Kunfeng Bai, Xintong Li, Yanjie Guo, Ye Shang, Leqian Lin, Philip C. N. Chiu, Philip C. N. Chiu, Cheuk-Lun Lee

“…This study aims to isolate placental EVs (pEVs) from placental explant to examine their regulatory roles on EVT and endothelial cell functions. pEVs were successfully isolated from ex vivo cultured placental explant, which were capable to be internalized by EVTs and endothelial cells. pEVs stimulated the differentiation of trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) and enhanced the migration and invasion abilities of EVTs via CD147 receptor. Conversely, pEVs inhibited the tube formation ability and interleukin-6 (IL-6) secretion of endothelial cells. …”
