Targeting B Cells for the Treatment of Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy.

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) is a group of heterogeneous diseases that can affect multiple systems. Currently, it is classified into different subtypes based on myositis-specific antibodies and muscle tissue pathology. These subtypes vary in treatment response and clinical prognosis, with poor treatment outcomes observed in cases of rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease and severe muscle involvement. Despite conventional treatments, there remains a high rate of mortality and disability. The production of B cells and autoantibodies plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of I

Targeting signaling pathways in lymphoma: From molecular mechanisms to clinical breakthroughs.

AbstractThe treatment paradigm for lymphoma, a highly heterogeneous group of hematologic malignancies, has been revolutionized by the development of therapies targeting oncogenic signaling pathways. This shift from conventional chemotherapy to precision medicine is driven by a deep molecular understanding of the pathways that govern lymphoma cell survival and proliferation. This review comprehensively surveys the landscape of these targeted therapies, from fundamental molecular mechanisms to clinical breakthroughs. We first dissect the molecular architecture of key oncogenic drivers, covering

Флюидные биомаркеры в демиелионирующих синдромах: прошлое, настоящее и перспективы.

По-прежнему продолжается работа над диагностическим алгоритмом демиелионирующих расстройств центральной нервной системы, а также поиск идеальных биомаркеров. Так называемый "идеальный" биомаркер должен обеспечивать точное различие между наиболее распространенными демиелионирующими патологиями ЦНС и подтипами одной и той же патологии (например, переход от релапсирующего многоразового склероза к вторичному прогрессивному фенотипу). Достижения в области технологии способствовали проведению этого исследования, и в нижеследующих разделах мы всесторонне проанализируем большинство из них, охарактериз

γδ T Cell Immunotherapy-A Review.

Cancer immunotherapy utilizing Vγ9Vδ2 T cells has been developed over the past decade. A large number of clinical trials have been conducted on various types of solid tumors as well as hematological malignancies. Vγ9Vδ2 T cell-based immunotherapy can be classified into two categories based on the methods of activation and expansion of these cells. Although the in vivo expansion of Vγ9Vδ2 T cells by phosphoantigens or nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-bis) has been translated to early-phase clinical trials, in which the safety of the treatment was confirmed, problems such as activation-ind

Клеточная терапия ревматических и мышечных заболеваний.

Значительная часть пациентов, у которых диагностированы ревматологические и мускулоскелетные заболевания (РМ), демонстрируют устойчивость к традиционной терапии или испытывают повторяющиеся симптомы. Эти заболевания, к которым относятся аутоиммунные расстройства, такие, как множественный склероз, ревматоидный артрит и системный волшебный эритематос, характеризуются наличием автоматически реактивных клеток B, играющих решающую роль в их патогенезе. Стойкость этих самореактивных клеток В в лимфатических органах и воспаленных тканях снижает эффективность таких моноклонных антител, как ритуксимаб,

Research progress on the clinical application and mechanism of iguratimod in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and rheumatic diseases.

Autoimmune diseases are affected by complex pathophysiology involving multiple cell types, cytokines, antibodies and mimicking factors. Different drugs are used to improve these autoimmune responses, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, antibodies, and small molecule drugs (DMARDs), which are prevalent clinically in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), etc. However, low cost-effectiveness, reduced efficacy, adverse effects, and patient non-response are unattractive factors driving the development of new drugs such as iguratimod. As a new disease-modi

Транскриптомное профилирование после разрушения клеток В свидетельствует о том, что в множестве склерозов происходят изменения в центральных и периферийных иммунных клетках.

Множественный склероз (MS) представляет собой сложное, генетически смешанное аутоиммунное заболевание CNS, в котором истощение клеток с антиCD20 средоточием B является весьма эффективным средством лечения ранних заболеваний. Хотя в предыдущих исследованиях изучалось воздействие истощения клеток B на отдельные поднаборы иммунных клеток с использованием методов, основанных на потоках цитометрии, терапевтическое воздействие на иммунный ландшафт пациента неизвестно. В этом исследовании мы изучали вопрос о том, как методы лечения, разрушающие клетки B, модифицируют иммунный ландшафт с использование

Immunotherapy in hematologic malignancies: achievements, challenges and future prospects.

The immune-cell origin of hematologic malignancies provides a unique avenue for the understanding of both the mechanisms of immune responsiveness and immune escape, which has accelerated the progress of immunotherapy. Several categories of immunotherapies have been developed and are being further evaluated in clinical trials for the treatment of blood cancers, including stem cell transplantation, immune checkpoint inhibitors, antigen-targeted antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, tumor vaccines, and adoptive cell therapies. These immunotherapies have shown the potential to induce long-term rem

Evidence-Based Review of BioBran/MGN-3 Arabinoxylan Compound as a Complementary Therapy for Conventional Cancer Treatment.

IntroductionConventional cancer treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, may not be sufficient to eradicate all malignant cells and prevent recurrence. Intensive treatment often leads to a depressed immune system, drug resistance, and toxicity, hampering the treatment outcomes. BioBran/MGN-3 Arabinoxylan is a standardized arabinoxylan concentrate which has been proposed as a plant-based immunomodulator that can restore the tumor-induced disturbance of the natural immune system, including natural killer cell activity to fight cancer, complementing conventional therapies.Obj

We report a case of a woman who was admitted with a suspicion of metastatic malignancy of unknown primary origin. A few months prior to her admission, she presented to a rheumatologist with acute anterior uveitis, psoriasiform rashes and polyarthritis. A diagnosis of psoriatic arthropathy was made and she was treated accordingly. Soon after she presented with persistent back and right upper quadrant abdominal pain for which she had a CT scan done with evidence of hilar lymphadenopathy, liver hypodensities and lytic-sclerotic bone lesions. She was referred to our hospital for further investigat

FDA-Approved Drugs for Hematological Malignancies-The Last Decade Review.

Hematological malignancies, also referred to as blood cancers, are a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth and persisting in the blood, lymph nodes, or bone marrow. The development of new targeted therapies including small molecule inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, bispecific T cell engagers, antibody-drug conjugates, recombinant immunotoxins, and, finally, Chimeric Antigen Receptor T (CAR-T) cells has improved the clinical outcomes for blood cancers. In this review, we summarized 52 drugs that were divided into small molecule and macromolecule agents, approved by the Food and Drug

MIF and CD74 as Emerging Biomarkers for Immune Checkpoint Blockade Therapy.

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy is used to treat a wide range of cancers; however, some patients are at risk of developing treatment resistance and/or immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Thus, there is a great need for the identification of reliable predictive biomarkers for response and toxicity. The cytokine MIF (macrophage migration inhibitory factor) and its cognate receptor CD74 are intimately connected with cancer progression and have previously been proposed as prognostic biomarkers for patient outcome in various cancers, including solid tumors such as malignant melanoma. He

Ячейки памяти в инфекциях и автономном иммунитете: механизмы, функции и терапевтические последствия.

Клетки памяти имеют ключевое значение для способности адаптивной иммунной системы запоминать и эффективно реагировать на ранее встречавшиеся патогены. В то время как клетки памяти обеспечивают надежную защиту от инфекций, они могут также способствовать автоматическому иммунитету в тех случаях, когда регулирование оказывается неэффективным. Здесь мы анализируем роль клеток памяти Т и В в инфекции и автоматическом иммунитете, с уделением особого внимания их дифференциации, активации, функций воздействия и основополагающих механизмов регулирования. Мы подробно остановимся на конкретных механизмах

Pemphigus vulgaris.

Pemphigus vulgaris is a chronic autoimmune bullous dermatosis that results from the production of autoantibodies against desmogleins 1 and 3. It is the most frequent and most severe form of pemphigus, occurring universally, usually between 40 and 60 years of age. It usually begins with blisters and erosions on the oral mucosa, followed by lesions on other mucous membranes and flaccid blisters on the skin, which can be disseminated. There is a clinical variant, pemphigus vegetans, which is characterized by the presence of vegetating lesions in the large folds of the skin. Clinical suspicion can

The efficacy and applicability of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell-based regimens for primary bone tumors: A comprehensive review of current evidence.

Primary bone tumors (PBT), although rare, could pose significant mortality and morbidity risks due to their high incidence of lung metastasis. Survival rates of patients with PBTs may vary based on the tumor type, therapeutic interventions, and the time of diagnosis. Despite advances in the management of patients with these tumors over the past four decades, the survival rates seem not to have improved significantly, implicating the need for novel therapeutic interventions. Surgical resection with wide margins, radiotherapy, and systemic chemotherapy are the main lines of treatment for PBTs. N

Trial watch: Immunostimulatory cytokines in cancer therapy.

Tumor-targeting immune responses provide a significant contribution to (when they do not entirely account for) the clinical activity of diverse antineoplastic regimens, encompassing not only a large panel of immunotherapeutic strategies but also conventional cytotoxic molecules, targeted anticancer agents and irradiation. In line with this notion, several approaches have been devised to elicit novel or boost existing anticancer immune responses, including the administration of immunomodulatory cytokines. Such a relatively unspecific intervention suffices to mediate clinical effects in (at leas
