Genetically predicted immune cells and metabolites mediate the causal relationship between inflammatory factors and rheumatoid arthritis.

This study investigates the causal relationship between inflammatory factors and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and potential immune cells and metabolites mediator using Mendelian randomization. A bidirectional Mendelian randomization study was conducted using statistics from a genome-wide association study database to explore the causal relationship between inflammatory factors and RA, combined with mediation analysis, to discover potential immune cells and metabolites with mediating effects, and to estimate the proportion of total effects mediated by each immune cell and metabolite. The level of

Clinical development of neridronate: potential for new applications.

Neridronate is an aminobisphosphonate, licensed in Italy for the treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and Paget's disease of bone (PDB). A characteristic property of neridronate is that it can be administered both intravenously and intramuscularly, providing a useful system for administration in homecare. In this review, we discuss the latest clinical results of neridronate administration in OI and PDB, as well as in osteoporosis and other conditions. We will focus in particular on the latest evidence of the effect of neridronate on treatment of complex regional pain syndrome type I.

Identification of Novel Risk Variants of Inflammatory Factors Related to Myeloproliferative Neoplasm: A Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study.

Epidemiological and experimental evidence has linked chronic inflammation to the etiology of myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). However, it remains unclear whether genetic associations with specific inflammatory biomarkers are causal or due to bias. This study aimed to assess the effect of C-reactive protein (CRP) and systemic inflammatory regulators on MPN within a bidirectional Mendelian randomization design. Genetic associations with MPN were derived from a publicly available genome-wide association study (GWAS) comprising 1,086 cases and 407,155 controls of European ancestry. Additionally,

A genetic variant in the IL-17 promoter is functionally associated with acute graft-versus-host disease after unrelated bone marrow transplantation.

Interleukin IL-17 is a proinflammatory cytokine that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various autoimmune diseases. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs2275913, in the promoter region of the IL-17 gene is associated with susceptibility to ulcerative colitis. When we examined the impact of rs2275913 in a cohort consisting of 438 pairs of patients and their unrelated donors transplanted through the Japan Marrow Donor Program, the donor IL-17 197A allele was found to be associated with a higher risk of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD; hazard ratio [HR], 1.46; 95% confidence

Aqueous Extract of Cimicifuga dahurica Reprogramming Macrophage Polarization by Activating TLR4-NF-κB Signaling Pathway.

PurposeCimicifuga dahurica (C. dahurica), which has been used in traditional oriental medicine for a long period, was reported to exert extensive antitumor activity, but the effect and molecular biological mechanism of C. dahurica on multiple myeloma (MM) has not been elaborated. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) exhibit a sustained polarization between tumor killing M1 subtype and tumor supporting M2 subtype. And a lower ratio of M1/M2 is associated with tumor angiogenesis, proliferation and invasion. We explored the inhibitory effect of the aqueous extract of the root of C. dahurica (CRAE)

Tumor heterogeneity as a driver of drug resistance and its implications for personalized therapy.

Tumors are highly dynamic diseases characterized by significant heterogeneity. They consist of multiple cellular populations with distinct properties that respond differently to therapeutic pressure. This heterogeneity may arise from spatial variation across tumor regions (spatial heterogeneity) as well as from temporal changes during tumor evolution and treatment (temporal heterogeneity). As a consequence, drug-resistant subclones often emerge under therapy and contribute to treatment failure. Advances in single-cell and spatial multi-omics technologies enable precise quantification of tumor

Skeletal muscle dysfunction induced by cancer immunotherapy: mechanistics insights and surgical implications.

Cancer immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment, yet its effects extend far beyond tumor eradication. Accumulating evidence indicates that immunotherapy-associated skeletal muscle dysfunction represents a complex, cross-organ pathological process driven by dynamic crosstalk between the tumor microenvironment and peripheral tissues. Rather than an isolated adverse event, muscle injury emerges from integrated mechanisms including inflammatory cytokine spillover, aberrant immune cell infiltration, metabolic reprogramming, vascular dysfunction, and impaired regenerative signaling. Central

Metastatic Spread in Prostate Cancer Patients Influencing Radiotherapy Response.

Radiotherapy and surgery are curative treatment options for localized prostate cancer (PCa) with a 5-year survival rate of nearly 100%. Once PCa cells spread into distant organs, such as bone, the overall survival rate of patients drops dramatically. The metastatic cascade and organotropism of PCa cells are regulated by different cellular subtypes, organ microenvironment, and their interactions. This cross-talk leads to pre-metastatic niche formation that releases chemo-attractive factors enforcing the formation of distant metastasis. Biological characteristics of PCa metastasis impacting on m

The salivary proteome in relation to oral mucositis in autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients: a labelled and label-free proteomics approach.

BACKGROUND: Oral mucositis is a frequently seen complication in the first weeks after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients which can severely affects patients quality of life. In this study, a labelled and label-free proteomics approach were used to identify differences between the salivary proteomes of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) recipients developing ulcerative oral mucositis (ULC-OM; WHO score ≥ 2) or not (NON-OM). METHODS: In the TMT-labelled analysis we pooled saliva samples from 5 ULC-OM patients at each of 5 timepoints: baseline, 1, 2, 3 week

Curcumin: An age-old anti-inflammatory and anti-neoplastic agent.

Curcumin is a natural anti-inflammatory agent that has been used for treating medical conditions for many years. Several experimental and pharmacologic trials have demonstrated its efficacy in the role as an anti-inflammatory agent. Curcumin has been shown to be effective in treating chronic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, Alzheimer's and common malignancies like colon, stomach, lung, breast, and skin cancers. As treatments in medicine become more and more complex, the answer may be something simpler. This is a review article written with the objective to syst

Peripheral Nerves in Cancer: Regulatory Roles and Therapeutic Strategies.

Cancer neuroscience has emerged as a transformative frontier in oncology research, focusing on the interplay between cancer cells and the nervous system. Cancer cells establish tumorspecific neural networks within tumor tissues via neurotrophic hijacking. The nervous system regulates tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis either directly by regulating signal transduction in tumor cells or indirectly by modulating the tumor microenvironment (TME). The positive feedback loop between cancer cells and nerves promotes tumor progression. Deciphering the regulatory role of nerves in tumor prog

GPER1 Активация Антитуморной активности в Множестве миелом.

G белковый рецептор эстрогена. 1 Активация (GPER1) становится перспективной терапевтической стратегией борьбы с различными видами рака. Несмотря на то, что в контексте твердых опухолей широко изучался вопрос о адресации GPER, его воздействие на гематологию еще предстоит понять в полной мере. Здесь мы показываем, что GPER1 mRNA понижается в плазменных клетках от открытой множественной миэломы (MM) и лейкемии от плазмы по сравнению с нормальными спонсорами или преднасыщенными условиями (моноклональная гаммопатия неопределённого значения и удушающая MM); кроме того, более низкое выражение GPER1 а

Practical guidance for the management of inflammatory bowel disease in patients with cancer. Which treatment?

Clinicians involved in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) increasingly come across patients with current or previous history of malignancies. With increasing and earlier use of immunosuppression and biologics in IBD patients, the question arises whether these treatments further increase the risk of new or recurrent cancers. A number of population-based observational studies have now reported the odds of development of new or recurrent cancers with thiopurines and antitumour necrosis factors (anti-TNFs). These data combined with data arising from treatment registries from other i

Advances in Anti-Cancer Immunotherapy: Car-T Cell, Checkpoint Inhibitors, Dendritic Cell Vaccines, and Oncolytic Viruses, and Emerging Cellular and Molecular Targets.

Unlike traditional cancer therapies, such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy that are typically non-specific, cancer immunotherapy harnesses the high specificity of a patient's own immune system to selectively kill cancer cells. The immune system is the body's main cancer surveillance system, but cancers may evade destruction thanks to various immune-suppressing mechanisms. We therefore need to deploy various immunotherapy-based strategies to help bolster the anti-tumour immune responses. These include engineering T cells to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) to specifically recogni

Окисляющий стресс и воспаление в патогенезе неврологических расстройств: механизмы и последствия.

Нейрозащита — это активный подход к защите нервной системы, включая мозг, спинной мозг и периферийные нервы, путем предотвращения или ограничения повреждения нервных клеток и других компонентов. Она защищает центральную нервную систему от повреждений от острых и прогрессивных нейродегенеративных расстройств. Окисляющий стресс, дисбаланс между естественными механизмами защиты тела и образованием реактивных видов кислорода, имеет решающее значение для развития неврологических расстройств. Из-за высокой скорости метаболизма и потребления кислорода мозг особенно уязвим к окисляющему стрессу. Чрезм

Novel Interleukin-6 Inducible Gene PDZ-Binding Kinase Promotes Tumor Growth of Multiple Myeloma Cells.

[Figure: see text] Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an intractable hematological malignancy, despite recent advances in anti-MM drugs. Here, we show that role of PDZ binding kinase (PBK) in MM tumor growth. We identified that interleukin-6 (IL-6) readily increases PBK expression. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the MM patients with higher expression of PBK have a significant shorter survival time compared with those with moderate/lower expression of PBK. Knockout of PBK dramatically suppressed in vivo tumor growth in MM cells, while genome editing of PBK changing from asparagine to serine subst

Advanced biomaterial-based approaches for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a debilitating adverse effect linked to anti-resorptive and anti-angiogenic therapies, with an incidence of 4.34 % (6.22 % in oncology patients and 0.59 % in osteoporosis patients) based on a pooled analysis of 92 observational studies (2015-2020), characterized by persistent bone exposure and poor healing. Conventional treatment modalities often yield suboptimal outcomes, with recurrence and procedural morbidity. In recent years, biomaterial-based strategies have emerged as promising alternatives by targeting MRONJ's complex pathophysiolo

Theranostic Potentials of Gold Nanomaterials in Hematological Malignancies.

Hematological malignancies (HMs) are a heterogeneous group of blood neoplasia generally characterized by abnormal blood-cell production. Detection of HMs-specific molecular biomarkers (e.g., surface antigens, nucleic acid, and proteomic biomarkers) is crucial in determining clinical states and monitoring disease progression. Early diagnosis of HMs, followed by an effective treatment, can remarkably extend overall survival of patients. However, traditional and advanced HMs' diagnostic strategies still lack selectivity and sensitivity. More importantly, commercially available chemotherapeutic dr
