This study aimed to investigate, through a meta‐analysis, a potential correlati on between PD‐L1 expression and the prognostic outcomes in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma.Materials and methodsThe studies were identified by searching PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science and were assessed by two of the authors. After the selection process, 11 articles met eligibility criteria and were included in the meta ‐analysis. Quality assessment of studies was performed according to the REMARK guidelines, and the risk of biases across studies was investigated through Q andI2 tests. Meta ‐analysis was performed to investiga...

AP2a enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by inhibiting the formation of YAP/RUNX2 complex and BARX1 transcription
ConclusionsOur discoveries revealed that AP2a may regulate the osteogenic differentiation in an indirect way through competing with RUNX2 to relieve the RUNX2 activity which inhibited by YAP, and also in a direct way via targeting the BARX1 and directly repressed its transcription. Thus, our discoveries shed new light on the mechanism of direct differentiation of MSCs and provide candidate targets for improving the osteogenic differentiation and enhancing bone tissue regeneration.

Melatonin protects mesenchymal stem cells from autophagy ‐mediated death under ischaemic ER‐stress conditions by increasing prion protein expression
ConclusionMelatonin protects against ER stress/autophagy ‐induced apoptotic cell death by augmenting PrPC expression. Thus, melatonin ‐treated MSCs could be a potential cell‐based therapeutic agent for ER stress–induced ischaemic diseases, and melatonin‐induced PrPC might be a key molecule in ameliorating ER stress and autophagy.

Nuclear factor ‐kappa B‐dependent X‐box binding protein 1 signalling promotes the proliferation of nucleus pulposus cells under tumour necrosis factor alpha stimulation
ConclusionsUnfolded protein response reinforces the survival and proliferation of NPCs under TNF ‐α stimulation by activating the XBP1 pathway, and NF‐κB serves as a vital mediator in these events. The XBP1 signalling of UPR can be a novel therapeutic target in IDD. (Source: Cell Proliferation)

IL ‐33 guides osteogenesis and increases proliferation and pluripotency marker expression in dental stem cells
ConclusionsIL ‐33 treatment impairs osteogenesis of PDLSCs and DPSCs, while increases their clonogenicity, proliferation and pluripotency marker expression. After exposure to IL‐33, osteogenic capacity of cells stayed intact. NF‐κB and β‐catenin are implicated in the effects achieved by IL‐33 in PDLSC s and DPSCs. (Source: Cell Proliferation)

CASC2: An emerging tumour ‐suppressing long noncoding RNA in human cancers and melanoma
AbstractDeregulation of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been implicated in tumourigenesis. Cancer Susceptibility Candidate 2 (CASC2) is a lncRNA downregulated in multiple cancer types, including endometrial, lung, gastric and colorectal cancers. CASC2 functions as a tumour ‐suppressive lncRNA though multiple mechanisms, such as sequestration of oncogenic microRNAs and repression of Wnt/β‐catenin signalling. Pertinent to clinical practice, the use of CASC2 as a prognostic marker has been demonstrated in sporadic studies. These findings suggested that CASC2 might p lay an important role in human cancers and melanoma. ...
