The use of RNA-based treatments in the field of cancer immunotherapy.

Over the past several decades, mRNA vaccines have evolved from a theoretical concept to a clinical reality. These vaccines offer several advantages over traditional vaccine techniques, including their high potency, rapid development, low-cost manufacturing, and safe administration. However, until recently, concerns over the instability and inefficient distribution of mRNA in vivo have limited their utility. Fortunately, recent technological advancements have mostly resolved these concerns, resulting in the development of numerous mRNA vaccination platforms for infectious diseases and various t

Ремонт тканей в центральной нервной системе: эпигенетическое программирование регуляторных Т клеток.

Регулирующие Т клетки хорошо известны своей иммуномодуляционной ролью, но также их регенеративная функция все чаще признается в различных типах тканей, включая скелетные мышцы, легкие и центральную нервную систему (ЦНС). В CNS Tregs, как было показано, поощряют дифференциацию олигодендроцитов в прекурсорных клетках, и их взаимодействие с микроглией поддерживает стимулирующую регенеративную микроокружную среду в мозгу. Подавляющая функция Tregs в значительной степени зависит от эпигенетической сигнатуры, в частности метилации ДНК, определенной сети связанных с Treg генов, включая FOXP3, CTLA4,

Imaging Evaluation of Bone Tumors in the Cervical Spine: A Comprehensive Review.

The cervical spine, a critical junction between the head and torso, is a rare but significant site for both primary and metastatic tumors. While primary tumors of the cervical spine are uncommon, certain types, such as chordomas and giant cell tumors, are particularly notable for their potential to affect this region. Metastatic lesions, although more frequent, present unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to the complex anatomy of the cervical spine. Imaging is indispensable for the evaluation of cervical spine tumors, serving as the foundation for diagnosis, treatment planning, an

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis and Pregnancy-Do We Have All the Answers for a Woman Who Desires to Conceive?-Literature Review.

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare, progressive, and poor-prognosis systemic disorder that primarily affects women of reproductive age, with a higher prevalence among individuals of Caucasian origin. However, there are limited reliable data on the prevalence of LAM during pregnancy. The fulminant respiratory clinical presentation that often includes progressive dyspnea on exertion, cough, or hemoptysis, frequently complicated by pneumothorax, and the increased risk of spontaneous abortion due to increased estrogen and progesterone production during gestation, are arguments that most ofte

The BE (2)-M17 neuroblastoma cell line: revealing its potential as a cellular model for Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's disease is a pathology with a wide range of in vivo and in vitro models available. Among these, the SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell line is one of the most employed. This model expresses catecholaminergic markers and can differentiate and acquire various neuronal phenotypes. However, challenges persist, primarily concerning the variability of growth media, expression of dopaminergic markers, and a wide variety of differentiation protocols have been reported in the literature without direct comparison between them. This lack of standardized differentiation conditions impacts result repro

Association between inflammatory bowel disease and cancer risk: evidence triangulation from genetic correlation, Mendelian randomization, and colocalization analyses across East Asian and European populations.

BackgroundInflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), has been associated with several cancer risks in observational studies, but the observed associations have been inconsistent and may face the bias of confounding and reverse causality. The potential causal relationships between IBD and the risk of cancers remain largely unclear.MethodsWe performed genome-wide linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC), standard two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR), and colocalization analyses using summary genome-wide association study (GWAS) dat

Causal Estimation of Long-term Intervention Cost-effectiveness Using Genetic Instrumental Variables: An Application to Cancer.

BACKGROUND: This article demonstrates a means of assessing long-term intervention cost-effectiveness in the absence of data from randomized controlled trials and without recourse to Markov simulation or similar types of cohort simulation. METHODS: Using a Mendelian randomization study design, we developed causal estimates of the genetically predicted effect of bladder, breast, colorectal, lung, multiple myeloma, ovarian, prostate, and thyroid cancers on health care costs and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) using outcome data drawn from the UK Biobank cohort. We then used these estimates i

Light Chain Stabilization: A Therapeutic Approach to Ameliorate AL Amyloidosis.

Non-native immunoglobulin light chain conformations, including aggregates, appear to cause light chain amyloidosis pathology. Despite significant progress in pharmacological eradication of the neoplastic plasma cells that secrete these light chains, in many patients impaired organ function remains. The impairment is apparently due to a subset of resistant plasma cells that continue to secrete misfolding-prone light chains. These light chains are susceptible to the proteolytic cleavage that may enable light chain aggregation. We propose that small molecules that preferentially bind to the nativ

PROTACs: great opportunities for academia and industry (an update from 2020 to 2021).

PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs) technology is a new protein-degradation strategy that has emerged in recent years. It uses bifunctional small molecules to induce the ubiquitination and degradation of target proteins through the ubiquitin-proteasome system. PROTACs can not only be used as potential clinical treatments for diseases such as cancer, immune disorders, viral infections, and neurodegenerative diseases, but also provide unique chemical knockdown tools for biological research in a catalytic, reversible, and rapid manner. In 2019, our group published a review article "PROTACs:

RANKL Drives Bone Metastasis in Mammary Cancer: Protective Effects of Anti-Resorptive Treatments.

Receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) is essential for osteoclast formation and bone resorption, in osteolytic conditions such as osteoporosis and bone metastases. However, its role in metastasis progression remains incompletely understood. Herein, we examined whether the overexpression of human RANKL in transgenic mice (TgRANKL) affects their susceptibility to breast cancer bone metastasis compared to their wild-type (WT) littermates. Bone metastasis was induced by injecting EO771 mouse mammary adenocarcinoma cells into the caudal artery of syngeneic WT and TgRANKL mice. RANK

Laser Devices and Autologous Platelet Concentrates in Prevention and Treatment of Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws: A Systematic Review.

Background and Objectives: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) is a disease that affects many patients taking anti-angiogenic and antiresorptive medicines. Since the pathogenetic mechanism is still partially unknown, preventive strategies, as well as treatment alternatives, are needed. Therefore, the aim of this research is to describe the main evidence from the last 10 years of clinical trials regarding the use of auxiliary devices such as autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) and laser, other than their effects against MRONJ disease onset or therapy. Advantages in the heal

Current progress and mechanisms of bone metastasis in lung cancer: a narrative review.

Lung cancer is a kind of malignant tumor with rapid progression and poor prognosis. Distant metastasis has been the main cause of mortality among lung cancer patients. Bone is one of the most common sites. Among all lung cancer patients with bone metastasis, most of them are osteolytic metastasis. Some serious clinical consequences like bone pain, pathological fractures, spinal instability, spinal cord compression and hypercalcemia occur as well. Since the severity of bone metastasis in lung cancer, it is undoubtedly necessary to know how lung cancer spread to bone, how can we diagnose it and

The role of vitamin D and vitamin D deficiency in orthopaedics and traumatology-a narrative overview of the literature.

Vitamin D is considered to play an important role in musculoskeletal health. It's classical function is the regulation of calcium and phosphate homeostasis, thus ensuring a balanced bone metabolism that is characterised by an equal amount of bone resorption and bone formation. In the past decades, a plethora of pre-clinical and clinical studies reporting on potential health-beneficial properties of vitamin D have emerged. Moreover, there is an abundance of reports highlighting vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in patients with almost innumerable diseases. Further, it is estimated that mor

Transplant oncology and anti-cancer immunosuppressants.

Organ transplantation is a life-saving intervention that enhances the quality of life for patients with end-stage organ failure. However, long-term immunosuppressive therapy is required to prevent allogeneic graft rejection, which inadvertently elevates the risk of post-transplant malignancies, especially for liver transplant recipients with a prior history of liver cancer. In response, the emerging field of transplant oncology integrates principles from oncology and immunology to improve outcomes for patients at high risk of tumor occurrence or recurrence following transplantation. Therefore,

Potential Targeting Mechanisms for Bone-Directed Therapies.

Bone development is characterized by complex regulation mechanisms, including signal transduction and transcription factor-related pathways, glycobiological processes, cellular interactions, transportation mechanisms, and, importantly, chemical formation resulting from hydroxyapatite. Any abnormal regulation in the bone development processes causes skeletal system-related problems. To some extent, the avascularity of cartilage and bone makes drug delivery more challenging than that of soft tissues. Recent studies have implemented many novel bone-targeting approaches to overcome drawbacks. Howe

Lifestyle Factors and Cancer: A Narrative Review.

Lifestyle factors and their impact on cancer prevention, prognosis, and survivorship are increasingly recognized in the medical literature. Lifestyle factors are primarily defined here as diet and physical activity. We conducted a narrative review of the primary published data, including randomized controlled trials and prospective studies, on the impact of primary lifestyle factors on oncogenesis and clinical outcomes in the preventative and survivorship setting. First, we discuss the oncogenic mechanisms behind primary lifestyle factors (diet, physical activity and, within these 2, obesity).
