Leukemias in the Context of Rheumatoid Arthritis: Shared Pathways and Clinical Perspectives.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by systemic inflammation, progressive joint destruction, and increased risk of malignancies, particularly hematological cancers such as leukemias. RA patients appear to have a higher incidence of leukemias, suggesting a possible association between the two conditions. This association is driven by shared pathogenic mechanisms, including chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, and genetic predispositions. Pro-inflammatory cytokines, notably tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6), play a crucial ro

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia: diagnosis and management from the hematologist's perspective.

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome, is an autosomal dominant disorder that causes abnormal blood vessel formation. The diagnosis of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia is clinical, based on the Curaçao criteria. Genetic mutations that have been identified include ENG, ACVRL1/ALK1, and MADH4/SMAD4, among others. Patients with HHT may have telangiectasias and arteriovenous malformations in various organs and suffer from many complications including bleeding, anemia, iron deficiency, and high-output heart failure. Families with the same mutatio

Update on Contrast-Induced Nephropathy: Recent Developments in Its Prevention, Early Diagnosis, and Therapy.

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), now more accurately referred to as contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), remains a major cause of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury (AKI) and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, particularly in high-risk patients. This condition occurs following the intravascular administration of iodinated radiocontrast media (RCM), especially in individuals with pre-existing chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes mellitus, heart failure, advanced age, or exposure to high contrast volumes. The pathophysiology of CI-AKI is multifactorial and in

Mobilizing stem cells and inhibition of autoimmunity synergistically modify autoimmune disease to relieve pain: a potential MRG-001 therapy for rheumatoid arthritis.

OBJECTIVES: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by persistent synovial inflammation, bone erosion, cartilage destruction, and debilitating pain. Current therapies often fall short in preventing structural damage and restoring immune balance. To address these limitations, we evaluated MRG-001 - a fixed-dose combination of plerixafor (AMD3100) and low-dose tacrolimus (FK506) with reported immunoregulatory and regenerative potential - in preclinical models of RA. METHODS: The therapeutic efficacy of MRG-001 was assessed in collagen-induced arthritis and collag

Adera2.0: A Drug Repurposing Workflow for Neuroimmunological Investigations Using Neural Networks.

Drug repurposing in the context of neuroimmunological (NI) investigations is still in its primary stages. Drug repurposing is an important method that bypasses lengthy drug discovery procedures and focuses on discovering new usages for known medications. Neuroimmunological diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, and depression, include various pathologies that result from the interaction between the central nervous system and the immune system. However, the repurposing of NI medications is hindered by the vast amount of information that needs mining. We previously prese

Malignant Pleural Effusion: Diagnosis and Management.

Symptomatic malignant pleural effusion is a common clinical problem. This condition is associated with very high mortality, with life expectancy ranging from 3 to 12 months. Studies are contributing evidence on an increasing number of therapeutic options (therapeutic thoracentesis, thoracoscopic pleurodesis or thoracic drainage, indwelling pleural catheter, surgery, or a combination of these therapies). Despite the availability of therapies, the management of malignant pleural effusion is challenging and is mainly focused on the relief of symptoms. The therapy to be administered needs to be de

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

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.

mRNA vaccine development and applications: A special focus on tumors (Review).

Cancer is characterized by unlimited proliferation and metastasis, and traditional therapeutic strategies usually result in the acquisition of drug resistance, thus highlighting the need for more personalized treatment. mRNA vaccines transfer the gene sequences of exogenous target antigens into human cells through transcription and translation to stimulate the body to produce specific immune responses against the encoded proteins, so as to enable the body to obtain immune protection against said antigens; this approach may be adopted for personalized cancer therapy. Since the recent coronaviru

Use of Intravenous Iodinated Contrast Media in Patients With Kidney Disease: Consensus Statements from the American College of Radiology and the National Kidney Foundation.

Intravenous iodinated contrast media are commonly used with CT to evaluate disease and to determine treatment response. The risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) developing in patients with reduced kidney function following exposure to intravenous iodinated contrast media has been overstated. This is due primarily to historic lack of control groups sufficient to separate contrast-induced AKI (CI-AKI; ie, AKI caused by contrast media administration) from contrast-associated AKI (CA-AKI; ie, AKI coincident to contrast media administration). Although the true risk of CI-AKI remains uncertain for pati

The dual balance of the cytokine network: key messengers of immune activation and triggers of cytokine storm.

The cytokine network is the central regulatory system for intercellular communication within the immune system. Its proper function depends on the dynamic balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Through complex positive and negative feedback loops, this balance precisely regulates the intensity and duration of immune responses, thereby playing a critical role in both physiological and pathological states. This review systematically summarizes the compositional features and classification framework of the cytokine network, as well as the mechanisms by which it maintain

Animal Models in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Is There a Correlation Between Autoantibodies in Human Pathology and Animal Models?

RA is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by synovial inflammation and joint damage, driven by autoantibodies such as ACPA, anti-CarP and RF. These autoantibodies, influenced by genetic and environmental factors, play a crucial role in RA pathogenesis through post-translational modifications like citrullination, carbamylation, and acetylation. The early detection of ACPA provides a potential window for intervention, while anti-CarP antibodies correlate with severe disease progression and RF aids in diagnosis. Translating these findings from human pathology to animal models presents sign

Alcohol Consumption and Autoimmune Diseases.

Alcohol is the second-most misused substance after tobacco. It has been identified as a causal factor in more than 200 diseases and 5.3% of all deaths and is associated with significant behavioral, social, and economic difficulties. As alcohol consumption may modulate the immune system's regulatory mechanisms to avoid attacking the body's tissues, it has been proven to play a dichotomic role in autoimmune diseases (ADs) based on the quantity of consumption. In this review, we report updated evidence on the role of alcohol in ADs, with a focus on alcohol addiction and the human biological immun

Functional SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells of donor origin in allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients of a T-cell-replete infusion: A prospective observational study.

In the current post-pandemic era, recipients of an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) deserve special attention. In these vulnerable patients, vaccine effectiveness is reduced by post-transplant immune-suppressive therapy; consequently, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) disease (COVID-19) is often associated with elevated morbidity and mortality. Characterizing SARS-CoV-2 adaptive immunity transfer from immune donors to HCT recipients in the context of immunosuppression will help identify optimal timing and vaccination strategies that can provide ade
