Evolving cognition of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway: autoimmune disorders and cancer.

The Janus kinase (JAK) signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism of transmembrane signal transduction that enables cells to communicate with the exterior environment. Various cytokines, interferons, growth factors, and other specific molecules activate JAK-STAT signaling to drive a series of physiological and pathological processes, including proliferation, metabolism, immune response, inflammation, and malignancy. Dysregulated JAK-STAT signaling and related genetic mutations are strongly associated with immune activation and c

KIF11 promotes rheumatoid arthritis pathogenesis by activating M1 macrophage polarization and promoting inflammatory cytokine secretion.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: KIF11, a mitotic kinesin, has been implicated in oncogenesis, but its specific role and mechanism in RA pathogenesis remain largely unexplored. We aim to explore functional role and molecular mechanism of KIF11 to promote RA progression. METHODS: Bioinformatics analysis was first performed on public RA datasets (GSE55457, GSE55235, GSE2053, GSE12021, and GSE1919) to identify KIF11-associated DEGs and their enriched pathways using GO/KEGG and GSEA analysis. Lentivirus-mediated shRNA was employed to knock down KIF11 expression in MH7A cells and M1-polarized macrophages

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,

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

Implications of Angiogenesis Involvement in Arthritis.

Angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels, is essential in the pathogenesis of joint inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA), facilitating the invasion of inflammatory cells and increase in local pain receptors that contribute to structural damage and pain. The angiogenic process is perpetuated by various mediators such as growth factors, primarily vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), as well as proinflammatory cytokines, various chemokines, matrix components, cell adhesion molecules, proteases, and others.

Immunologic tumor microenvironment modulators for turning cold tumors hot.

Tumors can be classified into distinct immunophenotypes based on the presence and arrangement of cytotoxic immune cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME). Hot tumors, characterized by heightened immune activity and responsiveness to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), stand in stark contrast to cold tumors, which lack immune infiltration and remain resistant to therapy. To overcome immune evasion mechanisms employed by tumor cells, novel immunologic modulators have emerged, particularly ICIs targeting cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death protein

Митохондриальная пригодность как функциональная контрольная точка в раке: метаболическая пластичность, эволюция опухолей и иммунотерапия.

Митохондрия все чаще признается в качестве динамичных регуляторов адаптации к раковым клеткам, иммунной функции и терапевтической реакции. Помимо их канонической роли в производстве энергии, митохондриальный метаболизм, динамика, контроль качества и сигнализация стресса влияют на выживание клеток опухоли и способность клеток иммунного эффекта поддерживать антитумберную активность в микроопухоли. В этом обзоре мы рассматриваем митохондриальную пригодность как многоаспектное функциональное достояние, включающее биоэнергетику, метаболическую гибкость, повторное гомеостаз, контроль качества митохо

Wnt signaling in multiple myeloma: a central player in disease with therapeutic potential.

Multiple myeloma is the second most frequent hematological malignancy in the western world and remains incurable, predominantly due to acquired drug resistance and disease relapse. The highly conserved Wnt signal transduction pathway, which plays a key role in regulating cellular processes of proliferation, differentiation, migration, and stem cell self-renewal, is associated with multiple aspects of disease. Bone homeostasis is severely disturbed by Wnt antagonists that are secreted by the malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow. In the vast majority of patients, this results in osteolytic
