Multiple Myeloma Bone Disease: Implication of MicroRNAs in Its Molecular Background.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a common hematological malignancy arising from terminally differentiated plasma cells. In the majority of cases, symptomatic disease is characterized by the presence of bone disease. Multiple myeloma bone disease (MMBD) is a result of an imbalance in the bone-remodeling process that leads to increased osteoclast activity and decreased osteoblast activity. The molecular background of MMBD appears intriguingly complex, as several signaling pathways and cell-to-cell interactions are implicated in the pathophysiology of MMBD. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA mol

Interleukin-6: obstacles to targeting a complex cytokine in critical illness.

Circulating concentrations of the pleiotropic cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) are known to be increased in pro-inflammatory critical care syndromes, such as sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Elevations in serum IL-6 concentrations in patients with severe COVID-19 have led to renewed interest in the cytokine as a therapeutic target. However, although the pro-inflammatory properties of IL-6 are widely known, the cytokine also has a series of important physiological and anti-inflammatory functions. An adequate understanding of the complex processes by which IL-6 signalling occurs is c

Oncolytic Virus Therapy in a New Era of Immunotherapy, Enhanced by Combination with Existing Anticancer Therapies: Turn up the Heat!

Oncolytic viral therapy is a promising treatment for cancer, where 'cold' tumour cells can become 'hot' to the host immune system. However, with few FDA approved therapies, development of new strategies for more cancer types has been slow and relatively unsuccessful in recent years, Combination therapy has been successful for other types of cancer treatment, therefore, may be a viable alternative to improve the efficacy of oncolytic viral therapy which may reduce some of the adverse events of currently used monotherapies, oncolytic virus therapy and chemotherapy being mutually complimentary wi

Temporal patterns of chronic disease incidence after breast cancer: a nationwide population-based cohort study.

We conducted a retrospective cohort study to evaluate the temporal pattern of incidence of chronic conditions after developing breast cancer using a population-based national registry. We selected 84,969 women with newly diagnosed breast cancer between 2002 and 2016 and a 1:10 sample of age-matched non-breast cancer controls (N = 1,057,674). The main study exposure was incident breast cancer, considered as a time-varying exposure. The outcomes were incident cases of leukemia, endometrial cancer, myeloma, cardiomyopathy, osteoporosis, end stage renal disease (ESRD), pulmonary fibrosis, hypothyr

Understanding cachexia and muscle dysfunction in the context of metastatic breast cancer.

Cancer cachexia significantly impacts the quality of life of cancer patients, predicting therapy response and survival. Cachexia prevalence and severity increases over the course of disease progression, affecting up to 80% of patients with metastatic cancer. Despite this, cachexia is relatively understudied in the context of metastatic breast cancer, despite it affecting a significant proportion of patients with this common cancer. In this review we highlight the relative prevalence of cachexia in breast cancer, with 25% of all patients and up to half of those with metastatic disease impacted.

Existing and emerging strategies for fertility preservation in female patients with leukemia.

Leukemia, the most common malignancy in childhood, affects individuals from prepubertal girl to women of reproductive age. It originates from immature hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow and disseminates systemically via the blood and lymphatic circulations. Although survival rates have improved substantially, standard treatments, including intensive chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, often combined with total body irradiation, are highly gonadotoxic. Consequently, a significant proportion of survivors experience long-term endocrine dysfunction and infertility, with f

Assessment of circulating proteins in thyroid cancer: Proteome-wide Mendelian randomization and colocalization analysis.

The causality between circulating proteins and thyroid cancer (TC) remains unclear. We employed five large-scale circulating proteomic genome-wide association studies (GWASs) with up to 100,000 participants and a TC meta-GWAS (nCase = 3,418, nControl = 292,703) to conduct proteome-wide Mendelian randomization (MR) and Bayesian colocalization analysis. Protein and gene expressions were validated in thyroid tissue. Through MR analysis, we identified 26 circulating proteins with a putative causal relationship with TCs, among which NANS protein passed multiple corrections (P BH = 3.28e-5, 0.05/1,5

Anti-CD19 CAR T cells potently redirected to kill solid tumor cells.

Successful CAR T cell therapy for the treatment of solid tumors requires exemplary CAR T cell expansion, persistence and fitness, and the ability to target tumor antigens safely. Here we address this constellation of critical attributes for successful cellular therapy by using integrated technologies that simplify development and derisk clinical translation. We have developed a CAR-CD19 T cell that secretes a CD19-anti-Her2 bridging protein. This cell therapy strategy exploits the ability of CD19-targeting CAR T cells to interact with CD19 on normal B cells to drive expansion, persistence and

Molecular interactions of miR-338 during tumor progression and metastasis.

BackgroundCancer, as one of the main causes of human deaths, is currently a significant global health challenge. Since the majority of cancer-related deaths are associated with late diagnosis, it is necessary to develop minimally invasive early detection markers to manage and reduce mortality rates. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), as highly conserved non-coding RNAs, target the specific mRNAs which are involved in regulation of various fundamental cellular processes such as cell proliferation, death, and signaling pathways. MiRNAs can also be regulated by long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (

Heterogeneous tissue-specific macrophages orchestrate metastatic organotropism of breast cancer: implications for promising therapeutics.

Compelling evidences have manifested that breast cancer cells prefer to metastasize to certain distant organs, including brain, lung, bone and liver. According to the canonical "seed and soil" theory, this prominent biological behavior, termed as metastatic organotropism, involves intricate interactions between breast cancer cells (the "seeds") and specific residents in the tumor microenvironment (the "soil"), initiating from pre-metastatic niche formation to metastatic outgrowth. Recently, multifaceted heterogeneity of tissue-specific macrophages (TSMs) and their roles played in organotropic
