Previous studies proved that bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) could improve a variety of immune‐mediated disease by its immunomodulatory properties. In this study, we investigated the effect on airway remodeling and airway inflammation by administrating BMSCs in chronic asthmatic mice. Forty‐eight female BALB/c mice were randomly distributed into PBS group, BMSCs treatment group, BMSCs control group, and asthmatic group. The levels of cytokine and immunoglobulin in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were detected by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay. The number of CD4+CD25+regulatory T cells and morphometric analysis was determined by flow cytometry, hematoxylin‐eosin, immunofluorescence staining, periodic‐acid Schiff, and masson staining, respectively. We found that airway remodeling and airway inflammation were evident in asthmatic mice. Moreover, low level of IL‐12 and high levels of IL‐13, IL‐4, OVA‐specific IgG1, IgE, and IgG2a and the fewer number of CD4+CD25+regulatory T cells were present in asthmatic group. However, transplantation of BMSCs significantly decreased airway inflammation and airway remodeling and level of IL‐4, OVA‐specific IgE, and OVA‐specific IgG1, but elevated level of IL‐12 and the number of CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells in asthma (P < 0.05). However, BMSCs did not contribute to lung regeneration and had no significant effect on levels of IL‐10, IFN‐Y, and IL‐13. In our study, BMSCs engraftment prohibited airway inflammation and airway remodeling in chronic asthmatic group. The beneficial effect of BMSCs might involved the modulation imbalance cytokine toward a new balance Th1–Th2 profiles and up‐regulation of protective CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells in asthma, but not contribution to lung regeneration.

Precise migration of neural stem/progenitor cells (NSCs) is crucially important for neurogenesis and repair in the nervous system. However, the detailed mechanisms are not clear. Our previous results showed that NSCs in varying differentiation states possess different migratory ability to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). In this study, we demonstrate the different dynamics of focal adhesions (FAs) and reorganization of F‐actin in NSCs during spreading and migration stimulated by VEGF. We found that the migrating NSCs of 0.5 and 1 day differentiation possess more FAs at leading edge than cells of other states. Moreover, the phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and paxillin in NSCs correlates closely with their differentiation states. VEGF promotes FA formation with broad lamellipodium generation at the leading edge in chemotaxing cells of 0, 0.5, and 1 day differentiation, but not in cells of 3 days differentiation. Furthermore, cells of 1 day differentiation show a maximal asymmetry of FAs between lamella and cell rear, orchestrating cell polarization and directional migration. Time‐lapse video analysis shows that the disassembly of FAs and the cell tail detachment in NSCs of 1 day differentiation are more rapid, along with the concurrent enlarged size of FAs at the leading edge, leading to the most effective chemotactic response to VEGF. Collectively, these results indicate that the dynamics of FAs and reorganization of F‐actin in NSCs that undergo directional migration correlate closely with their differentiation states, contributing to the different chemotactic responses of these cells to VEGF.

Parathyroid hormone‐related protein (PTHrP) stimulates osteoblastic function through its N‐ and C‐terminal domains. Since the osteogenic action of the latter domain appears to depend at least in part on its interaction with the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) system, we aimed to explore the putative mechanism underlying this interaction in osteoblasts. Using native conditions for protein extraction and immunoblotting, we found that both PTHrP (107–139) and the shorter PTHrP (107–111) peptide (known as osteostatin), at 100 nM, promoted the appearance of a VEGF receptor (VEGFR) 2 protein band of apparent Mr. wt. 230 kDa, which likely represents its activation by dimer formation, in mouse osteoblastic MC3T3‐E1 cells. Moreover, osteostatin (100 nM) maximally increased VEGFR2 phosphorylation at Tyr‐1059 within 5–10 min in both MC3T3‐E1 and rat osteoblastic osteosarcoma UMR‐106 cells. This phosphorylation elicited by osteostatin appears to be VEGF‐independent, but prevented by the VEGFR2 activation inhibitor SU1498 and also by the Src kinase inhibitors SU6656 and PP1. Furthermore, osteostatin induced phosphorylation of Src, extracellular signal‐regulated kinase (ERK) and Akt with a similar time course to that observed for VEGFR2 activation in these osteoblastic cells. This osteostatin‐dependent induction of ERK and Akt activation was abrogated by SU6656. Up‐regulation of VEGF and osteoprotegerin gene expression as well as the pro‐survival effect induced by osteostatin treatment were all prevented by both SU1498 and SU6656 in these osteoblastic cells. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that the osteostatin domain of C‐terminal PTHrP phosphorylates VEGFR2 through Src activation, which represents a mechanism for modulating osteoblastic function.

Caveolin‐1 (CAV1) is the principal structural component of caveolae which functions as scaffolding protein for the integration of a variety of signaling pathways. In this study, we investigated the involvement of CAV1 in endothelial cell (EC) functions and show that siRNA‐induced CAV1 silencing in the human EC line EA.hy926 induces distinctive morphological changes, such as a marked increase in cell size and formation of stress fibers. Design‐based stereology was employed in this work to make unbiased quantification of morphometric properties such as volume, length, and surface of CAV1 silenced versus control cells. In addition, we showed that downregulation of CAV1 affects cell cycle progression at G1/S phase transition most likely by perturbation of AKT signaling. With the aim to assess the contribution of CAV1 to typical biological processes of EC, we report here that CAV1 targeting affects cell migration and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) activity, and reduces angiogenesis in response to VEGF, in vitro. Taken together our data suggest that the proper expression of CAV1 is important not only for maintaining the appropriate morphology and size of ECs but it might represent a prospective molecular target for studying key biological mechanisms such as senescence and tumorigenesis.
