Naringenin inhibits the growth of Dictyostelium and MDCK‐derived cysts in a polycystin‐2 (TRPP2)‐dependent manner
Conclusions and implicationsThe action of naringenin on cell growth in the phylogenetically diverse systems of Dictyostelium and mammalian kidney cells, suggests a conserved effect mediated by polycystin‐2 (TRPP2). Further studies will investigate naringenin as a potential new therapeutic agent in ADPKD.

Plasminogen‐stimulated airway smooth muscle cell proliferation is mediated by urokinase and annexin A2, involving plasmin‐activated cell signalling
Conclusion and implicationsPlasminogen stimulates ASM cell proliferation in a manner mediated by uPA and involving multiple signalling pathways downstream of plasmin. Targeting mediators of plasminogen‐evoked ASM responses, such as uPA or annexin A2, may be useful in the treatment of asthma.

Bleomycin induces endothelial mesenchymal transition through activation of mTOR pathway: a possible mechanism contributing to the sclerotherapy of venous malformations
Conclusions and ImplicationsOur study unmasks the involvement of Slug‐dependent EndoMT in bleomycin‐induced therapeutic effects on endothelial cells and, more importantly, indicates its potential role in the sclerotherapy of VMs.

The deactivation of signal transducer and activator of transcription‐3 activation signaling by emodin inhibits growth and induces apoptosis in orthotopic hepatocellular carcinoma model
Conclusions and ImplicationsOverall, our results suggest that emodin is mediating its effects predominantly through inhibition of STAT3 signaling cascade and thus has an enormous potential for the treatment cancers harboring constitutively activated STAT3.

Quercetin and allopurinol reduce liver thioredoxin‐interacting protein to alleviate inflammation and lipid accumulation in diabetic rats
Conclusions and ImplicationsInhibition of hepatic TXNIP by quercetin and allopurinol contributes to the reduction in liver inflammation and lipid accumulation under hyperglycaemic conditions. The targeting of hepatic TXNIP by quercetin and allopurinol may have therapeutic implications for prevention of type 1 diabetes‐associated NAFLD.

IL‐4 and IL‐13 inhibit IL‐1β and TNF‐α induced kinin B1 and B2 receptors through a STAT6‐dependent mechanism
Conclusions and ImplicationsThese data show, for the first time, that IL‐4 and IL‐13 decrease kinin receptors in a STAT6‐dependent mechanism, which can be one important mechanism by which these cytokines exert their anti‐inflammatory effects and impair bone resorption.
