Article Title: Methylglyoxal-derived glycated albumin enhances the stemness potential of invasive ductal carcinoma-derived breast cancer stem-like cell line KAIMRC1

doi: 10.3892/ol.2026.15541

Figure Lengend Snippet: GA effects on ERK1/2 phosphorylation in invasive ductal carcinoma-derived KAIMRC1 stem-like cells. Representative western blot analyses showed p-ERK1/2 in KAIMRC1 stem-like cells treated with 100 µg/ml GA for (A) 30 to 120 min and with (B) 50–100 µg/ml GA or unglycated BSA for 90 min of incubation. Bar graphs show the relative expression level of p-ERK1/2 normalized to total ERK1/2. GAPDH served as the loading control. Data are presented as the mean ± SD from three independent experiments. Statistical significance relative to the untreated control is indicated as *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01. C, control; GA, glycated albumin; p-ERK1/2, phosphorylated-ERK1/2; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

Article Title: Kasugamycin Inhibits Melanoma Lung Metastasis and CHI3L1-Driven M2-Like Tumor-Associated Macrophage Differentiation

doi: 10.2147/ITT.S563951

Figure Lengend Snippet: KSM inhibits CHI3L1-stimulated Erk and Akt activation and the antiapoptotic effect of CHI3L1 in macrophages. ( A ) AMJ-C11 mouse lung macrophages were stimulated with recombinant (r) CHI3L1 overnight, and the activation of Erk and Akt was detected by Western blot evaluations. pErk, phosphorylated Erk; T-Erk, total Erk; pAkt, phosphorylated Akt, T-Akt, total Akt. Right panel, densitometric quantitation on the blots of pErk and pAkt. ( B ) After exposure of AMJ-C11 cells with H 2 O 2 (1 mM, 24 hours) with and without rCHI3L1 and KSM treatment, cellular apoptosis (% of Annexin V+ cells) was measured by FACS evaluations. ( A and B ) are representatives of 3 independent experiments. Right panel, the values of Annexin 5 (+) cells (%) are the mean ± SEM. * P <0.05, ** P <0.01, *** P <0.001 (One-Way ANOVA, multiple comparisons).
