Mesenchymal stromal cells highly expressing Sca-1 promote breast cancer lung metastasis through recruiting myeloid cells. (PubMed, Cell Death Dis) - "Inhibition of macrophage chemotaxis by Bindarit, an inhibitor of CCL2/7/8 transcription, decreased the lung tumor burden induced by Sca-1high MSCs.

Chemokine CCL2 promotes cardiac regeneration and repair in myocardial infarction mice via activation of the JNK/STAT3 axis. (PubMed, Acta Pharmacol Sin) - "Conversely, treatment with a selective CCL2 synthesis inhibitor Bindarit (30 μM) suppressed both CCL2 expression and cardiomyocyte proliferation in P1 neonatal rat ventricle myocytes (NRVMs). We demonstrated in NRVMs that the CCL2 stimulated cardiomyocyte proliferation through STAT3 signaling: treatment with rCCL2 (100 ng/mL) significantly increased the phosphorylation levels of STAT3, whereas a STAT3 phosphorylation inhibitor Stattic (30 μM) suppressed rCCL2-induced cardiomyocyte proliferation. In conclusion, this study suggests that CCL2 promotes cardiac regeneration via activation of STAT3 signaling, underscoring its potential as a therapeutic agent for managing MI and associated heart failure."
