Article Title: Alternating Shear Force of Respiration Regulates Cell Interactions of Fibroblasts and Macrophages to Promote Soft Tissue Integration of Chest Wall Polyetheretherketone Implants

doi: 10.1002/advs.77118

Figure Lengend Snippet: Mechanical force modulates macrophage M2 polarization on PEEK surfaces. (A) The expression levels of mechanical perception (PIEZO1, YAP1) and polarization‐related proteins (iNOS, CD206, STAT6/p‐STAT6, NF‐κB/p‐NF‐κB) in dynamically cultured RAW264.7, determined by Western blot. (B) Gene expression in RAW264.7 were cultured under dynamic and static conditions for 12 h. (C) SEM images of RAW264.7 under static and dynamic culture conditions (scale bar: 10 µm). (D) Confocal fluorescence images of CD206, PIEZO1, iNOS, IL10, YAP1 and ITGB1 in macrophages under dynamic and static conditions (scale bar: 100 µm). The average fluorescence intensity of (E) CD206, IL‐10, (F) PIEZO1, YAP1, and (G) iNOS, ITGB1 were statistically analyzed. Shown are mean values ± SD (n = 3 independent experiments, each with 3 technical replicates), * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, and *** P < 0.001, ns, no significant difference. 2‐way ANOVA was used in (B) and (E–G).

Article Snippet: To induce M2 phenotype, M0 macrophages were stimulated with 10 ng/mL IL‐10 (HY‐P70517, MedChemExpress LLC., USA) and 20 ng/mL IL‐4 (HY‐ P70653 , MedChemExpress LLC., USA)

Figure Lengend Snippet: Cobicistat was identified as a novel MEST inhibitor. (A) Eight binding pockets of MEST were identified using the SiteFinder module of MOE software. (B) Virtual docking screening of MEST inhibitor from a library. (C) A preliminary screening of 36 compounds was performed by SPR. (D) Binding affinity of the cobicistat to human MEST assessed by SPR. (E) Molecular structure of cobicistat small molecule. (F) Computational model and the interaction of cobicistat with MEST complex. (G) The interacting amino acids and hydrogen bonds between the complexes.

Article Snippet: Here, we identified a candidate MEST-inhibitory compound, cobicistat, by screening the TargetMol and Selleck small-molecule compound libraries based on its catalytic site, ASN163.
