doi: 10.1111/jcmm.71050

Figure Lengend Snippet: Targeting HMGB1 signalling improves therapeutic outcomes in NSCLC. (A) Correlation analysis between immune infiltration scores and HMGB1 expression in 491 LUAD and 500 LUSC patients from the TCGA database. (B) Correlation between HMGB1 expression and the distribution of various immune cell subsets in LUAD and LUSC patients. (C, D) THP‐1–derived M0 macrophages were treated with PBS, HMGB1 (10 or 100 ng) or exosomes derived from vector or HMGB1 OE cells (cell‐to‐exosome ratio = 1:10). M1 macrophage markers (CD86, CD80, iNOS) and M2 markers (CD206, IL‐10, Arg1) were quantified by PCR. (E) Lewis tumour‐bearing mice were treated with PBS, HMGB1 OE‐derived exosomes (1 × 10 10 exosomes per mouse, twice per week), anti‐PD‐1 antibody (RMP1‐14, 200 μg per mouse, twice per week) or combination therapy ( n = 5 per group). Tumour volumes and apoptosis levels in tumour tissues (day 25) were assessed. (F) PC9 cells were treated with PBS or exosomes from HMGB1 OE cells (cell‐to‐exosome ratio = 1:10), followed by Osimertinib (50 nM, 48 h), and apoptosis was measured. (G) A549 and PC9 cells were similarly treated with PBS or HMGB1 OE‐derived exosomes, followed by Cisplatin (5 μM, 48 h), and apoptosis was analysed. (H) A549 and PC9 cells were similarly treated with paclitaxel (10 μM, 48 h) under the same conditions, and cell apoptosis was determined. (I) A549‐bearing mice were treated with HMGB1 OE‐derived exosomes (1 × 10 10 exosomes per mouse), followed by PBS, paclitaxel (PTX, 10 mg/kg, twice per week), STAT3 inhibitor (5 mg/kg, twice per week) or combination therapy. (J) Schematic diagram illustrating the proposed mechanism: HMGB1 upregulates TLR4, thereby activating the NF‐κB–IL‐6 axis and stimulating JAK2/STAT3 signalling to promote tumour progression. Concurrently, HMGB1 facilitates M2 macrophage polarisation.

Article Title: ST3Gal1 modulates intestinal barrier function and impacts human ulcerative colitis

doi: 10.3892/mmr.2025.13783

Figure Lengend Snippet: ST3Gal1 expression in inflamed IEC monolayers alters MUC2, TFF3, CDX2, STAT3 and p-STAT3 expression. ST3Gal1 knockdown in ST3Gal1-sh3/IEC significantly increased (A) MUC2, (B) TFF3 and (C) CDX2, but significantly reduced (D) STAT3 mRNA levels in the inflamed IEC monolayer. ST3Gal1 OE in ST3Gal1-OE/IEC significantly reduced (E) MUC2, (F) TFF3 and (G) CDX2 mRNA levels in the inflamed IEC monolayer. (H) ST3Gal1 OE in ST3Gal1-OE/IEC slightly decreased STAT3 mRNA levels in the inflamed IEC monolayer. (I) Western blotting showed no changes in protein expression in non-inflamed knockdown samples. (J) Western blotting showed that MUC2, TFF3 and CDX2 protein levels were increased, and p-STAT3 expression was decreased in the inflamed IEC monolayer comprising ST3Gal1-sh3/IEC. (K) Western blotting showed no notable changes in protein expression in non-inflamed OE samples. (L) Western blotting showed that MUC2, TFF3 and CDX2 protein levels were decreased, and p-STAT3 expression was increased in the inflamed IEC monolayer comprising ST3Gal1-OE/IEC. Data are presented as the mean ± SD. Statistical significance was assessed using one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey's post-hoc test. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01.

Data in A-D are presented as box and whisker plots, and those in E-H as scatter plots. Statistical significance for group comparisons in A-D was assessed using the unpaired t-test; correlation analyses in E-H were performed via Pearson's correlation coefficient. **P<0.01.
