Increased intracellular Cl- concentration improves airway epithelial migration by activating the RhoA/ROCK Pathway
Conclusion: Taken together, these results suggested that Cl- accumulation in airway epithelial cells could activate the RhoA/ROCK/LIMK cascade to induce F-actin reorganization, down-regulate cell stiffness, and improve epithelial migration.

Cadherin-11 cooperates with inflammatory factors to promote the migration and invasion of fibroblast-like synoviocytes in pigmented villonodular synovitis
Conclusions: Cadherin-11 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PVNS and forms a positive feedback loop with inflammatory factors, which further activates the NF-κB and MAPK pathways to trigger an inflammatory cascade. Cadherin-11-mediated inflammation results in PVNS with high recurrence, invasiveness, and strong cartilage destruction ability, and eventually promotes the transformation of PVNS from the initial inflammatory disease to neoplastic disease. Thus, inhibition of cadherin-11 together with its related inflammatory reaction, represents a new therapeutic strategy for PVNS.

Lipin 1 deficiency causes adult-onset myasthenia with motor neuron dysfunction in humans and neuromuscular junction defects in zebrafish
Conclusions: These findings pointed out that the compound heterozygous mutations in human LPIN1 caused adult-onset syndromic myasthenia with peripheral neuropathy. Moreover, zebrafish could be used to model the neuromuscular phenotypes due to the lipin 1 deficiency, where a novel pathological role of over-activated Notch signaling was discovered and further confirmed in mammalian cell lines.

Endothelial Klf2-Foxp1-TGF β signal mediates the inhibitory effects of simvastatin on maladaptive cardiac remodeling
Conclusions: We conclude that cardiac microvasculature ECs are important in the modulation of pressure overload induced maladaptive cardiac remodeling and dysfunction, and the endothelial Klf2-TGFβ1 or Klf2-Foxp1-TGFβ1 pathway mediates the preventive effects of simvastatin. This study demonstrates a novel mechanism of the non-cholesterol lowering effects of simvastatin for HF prevention.
