Patients Undergoing Myeloablative Chemotherapy and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Exhibit Depleted Vitamin C Status in Association with Febrile Neutropenia.

Patients undergoing myeloablative chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) experience profound neutropenia and vulnerability to infection. Previous research has indicated that patients with infections have depleted vitamin C status. In this study, we recruited 38 patients with hematopoietic cancer who were undergoing conditioning chemotherapy and HSCT. Blood samples were collected prior to transplantation, at one week, two weeks and four weeks following transplantation. Vitamin C status and biomarkers of inflammation (C-reactive protein) and oxidative stress (protein car

Lambda-free light chain: A serum marker of dengue disease via NS3 protease-mediated antibody cleavage.

Dengue poses a significant global public health threat, with diverse clinical manifestations due to complex interactions between the host and the pathogen. Recent reports have highlighted elevated serum-free light chain (FLC) levels in viral infectious diseases. Hence, our study aimed to investigate serum FLC levels in dengue patients. The findings revealed elevated serum λ FLCs, which were associated with the severity of dengue. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis demonstrated that λ FLCs may serve as a serum marker for identifying dengue disease (AUC: 0.7825, sensitivity:

Decoding iron deficiency in cancer: mechanisms, immune modulation, and therapeutic potential.

Iron is a vital micronutrient in many biological functions, including DNA metabolism, oxygen transport, and cellular energy generation. In this context, it is intimately linked to cancer biology. However, although many studies have comprehensively investigated and reviewed the effects of excess iron on tumor initiation and progression, the potential interrelations of iron deficiency with tumors have been largely neglected and need to be better defined. Recent studies have highlighted the complex relationship between iron deficiency and tumor biology. Iron deficiency in specific tumor types can

Diverse antitumor effects of ascorbic acid on cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment.

Ascorbic acid has attracted substantial attention for its potential antitumor effects by acting as an antioxidant in vivo and as a cofactor in diverse enzymatic reactions. However, solid proof of its clinical efficacy against cancer and the mechanism behind its effect have not been established. Moreover, cancer forms cancer-specific microenvironments and interacts with various cells, such as cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), to maintain cancer growth and progression; however, the effect of ascorbic acid on the cancer microenvironment is unclear. This review discusses the effects and mechan

Иммунометаболизм в старении мозга и нейродегенерации: преодоление метаболических путей и иммунные ответные меры.

Сложный набор взаимодействий между иммунной системой и метаболизмом, известный как иммунометаболизм, стал критическим регулятором последствий заболеваний в центральной нервной системе. В ходе многочисленных исследований метаболические расстройства увязывались с ослабленной иммунной реакцией при старении мозга, нейродегенеративных расстройствах и травме мозга. В этом обзоре мы обсудим вопрос о том, как нарушения баланса иммунометаболизма мозга способствуют патофизиологии дисфункции мозга. В первой части обзора резюмируется вклад таких критических групп иммунной клетки, как микроглии, астроциты,

Therapeutic Antibodies in Hematology: Advances in Malignant and Non-Malignant Disorders.

Therapeutic antibodies have revolutionized hematology, offering targeted and effective treatments for both malignant and non-malignant diseases. In hematologic malignancies, anti-CD20, anti-CD19, anti-CD38, and anti-B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) antibodies have markedly improved survival outcomes, whereas antibody-drug conjugates and bispecific antibodies continue to expand therapeutic possibilities. Besides cancer, complement inhibitors such as eculizumab, ravulizumab, and the recently approved crovalimab have redefined paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and atypical hemolytic uremic synd

Стратегия выбора субстрата, взаимно исключающаяся, у человека m3C RNA трансферазы METTL2A и METTL6.

tRNAs содержат наиболее разнообразные посттранскрипционные модификации. 3-метилцитидин (m3C) широко распределяется на позиции C32 (m3C32) у эукариотических tRNAThr и tRNASer. m3C32 модифицируется единственным метилтрансферазой Trm140 у дрожжей-попыток; однако для его биогенеза участвуют два (Trm140 и Trm141 у деления дрожжей) или три энзима (METTL2A, METTL2B и METTL6 у млекопитающих). До сих пор неизвестно обоснование существования нескольких метилтрансфераз m3C32 и их механизм дифференциации по субстрату. Здесь мы обнаружили, что оба METTL2A и METTL2B выражены в живых организмах. Мы выделили

High-Dose Vitamin C in Advanced-Stage Cancer Patients.

High-dose intravenously administered vitamin C (IVC) is widely used in cancer patients by complementary and alternative medicine practitioners. The most frequent indications for IVC therapy result from the belief in its effectiveness as a potent anti-cancer agent which additionally enhances chemosensitivity of cancer cells and reduces chemotherapy-related toxicities and fatigue intensity. In this narrative review, we decided to deal with this issue, trying to answer the question whether there is any scientific evidence supporting the rationale for application of high-dose IVC therapy in advanc

Mutations in the alternative complement pathway in multiple myeloma patients with carfilzomib-induced thrombotic microangiopathy.

Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) has been reported to occur in multiple myeloma (MM) patients in association with treatment with carfilzomib, an irreversible proteasome inhibitor (PI). The hallmark of TMA is vascular endothelial damage leading to microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, platelet consumption, fibrin deposition and small-vessel thrombosis with resultant tissue ischemia. The molecular mechanisms underlying carfilzomib-associated TMA are not known. Germline mutations in the complement alternative pathway have been recently shown to portend increased risk for the development of atypical

Targeting Reactive Oxygen Species Capacity of Tumor Cells with Repurposed Drug as an Anticancer Therapy.

Accumulating evidence shows that elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are associated with cancer initiation, growth, and response to therapies. As concentrations increase, ROS influence cancer development in a paradoxical way, either triggering tumorigenesis and supporting the proliferation of cancer cells at moderate levels of ROS or causing cancer cell death at high levels of ROS. Thus, ROS can be considered an attractive target for therapy of cancer and two apparently contradictory but virtually complementary therapeutic strategies for the regulation of ROS to treat cancer. Desp

Bortezomib-induced aerobic glycolysis contributes to chemotherapy-induced painful peripheral neuropathy.

Chemotherapy-induced painful peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is the most common toxicity associated with widely used chemotherapeutics. CIPN is the major cause of dose reduction or discontinuation of otherwise life-saving treatment. Unfortunately, CIPN can persist in cancer survivors, which adversely affects their quality of life. Moreover, available treatments are vastly inadequate, warranting a better understanding of the biochemical and metabolic mechanisms that occur in response to chemotherapeutics which would be critical for the development of novel therapies for CIPN. Using extracellular f

RNA метилтрансферазы METTL8 устанавливает m3C32 в митохондриальном tRNASThr/Ser (UCN) для оптимизации структуры trNA и митохондриального перевода.

Модифицированные нуклеотиды в tRNA являются важными определяющими факторами сворачивания, структуры и функции. Здесь мы идентифицируем METTL8 как митохондриальный белок и активный РНК метилтрансферазы, ответственный за установку m3C32 в митохондриале человека (mt-)tRNAThr и mt-tRNAser (UCN). METTL8 имеет перекрестные связи с антикодоновой стволовой петлей (ASL) многих мт-тРНК в клетках, в связи с чем возникает вопрос о том, каким образом достигается целевая специфичность метилирования. Расчленение элементов распознавания mt-tRNA выявило наличие U34G35 и t6A37/(ms2)i6A37, которые одновременно п

Breast cancer patients are at a high risk of complications from bone metastasis. Molecular characterization of bone metastases is essential for the discovery of new therapeutic targets. Here, we investigated the expression and the intracellular distribution of KH RNA binding domain containing, signal transduction associated 1 (KHDRBS1), leptin, leptin receptor (LEPR), and adiponectin in bone metastasis from breast carcinoma and looked for correlations between the data. The expression of these proteins is known in breast carcinoma, but it has not been investigated in bone metastatic tissue to d

"Complimenting the Complement": Mechanistic Insights and Opportunities for Therapeutics in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy of the liver and a leading cause of death in the US and worldwide. HCC remains a global health problem and is highly aggressive with unfavorable prognosis. Even with surgical interventions and newer medical treatment regimens, patients with HCC have poor survival rates. These limited therapeutic strategies and mechanistic understandings of HCC immunopathogenesis urgently warrant non-palliative treatment measures. Irrespective of the multitude etiologies, the liver microenvironment in HCC is intricately associated with chronic

Кинуреньенс и митохондриальные расстройства в многоразовом склерозе.

Множественный склероз (MS) — хроническое аутоиммунное заболевание, характеризующееся воспалением, обезвоживанием и нейродегенерацией в центральной нервной системе. Патогенез MS связан с иммунной атаки на миелин и нейроны, сопровождаемой дисфункцией мозга в крови и хроническим воспалением CNS. Центральное значение для патологии MS имеет дисрегулирование кинуреньинового пути, который метаболизирует триптофан в нейроактивные соединения. Активация Kynurenin Translation (KP) под воздействием подстрекательских цитокинов приводит к образованию как нейрозащитных (например, кинуриновой кислоты, КИНА),

Потенциальные цели микроглии в лечении нейродегенеративных заболеваний: механизм и терапевтические последствия.

Кроме того, дисфункциональная и гиперактивированная микроглия инициирует митохондриальную автофагию, окислительный стресс и патологическое накопление белка, заканчивающееся нейроинфламмацией, которая усугубляет повреждения допаминергических нейронов и вносит значительный вклад в патологию нейродегенеративного расстройства. Микроглиальная чрезмерная активация тесно связана с секрецией провоспалительных цитокинов, фагоцитозом травмированных нейронов и модуляцией нейротоксичной среды. В этом обзоре резюмируется

Nucleotide Metabolism in Health and Disease.

Nucleotide metabolism is a fundamental biochemical process, providing the building blocks for DNA and RNA synthesis while driving critical cellular functions like energy transfer, signal transduction, and coenzyme synthesis. The precise regulation of nucleotide de novo synthesis, salvage, and degradation pathways is imperative for maintaining genomic stability and tissue homeostasis. Aberrations in these networks are increasingly recognized as primary drivers in various pathologies; notably, cancer cells exploit metabolic-functional reprogramming to enable rapid proliferation and therapeutic r

The Impact of Iron on Cancer-Related Immune Functions in Oncology: Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Evidence.

Iron metabolism plays a dual role in cancer, serving as an essential nutrient for cellular functions and a potential catalyst for tumor growth and immune evasion. Here, we cover the complex interplay between iron levels within the serum or in the microenvironment and cancer therapy, focusing on how iron deficiency and overload can impact immune function, tumor progression, and treatment efficacy. On the one hand, we highlight iron deficiency as a factor of primary immune responses and its adverse effects on anti-cancer immunotherapy efficacy. On the other hand, we also stress the impact of iro
