While patients with NMIBC have a better prognosis, NMIBC often recurs, requiring long-term surveillance and repeated treatments. Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy is standard for high-grade or recurrent NMIBC; however, 30%-50% of patients failed to respond, and the mechanisms of resistance remain unclear. To identify predictive biomarkers for response to intravesical BCG therapy, we analyzed NANOG and Histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) expression in 90 bladder cancer specimens from NMIBC patients treated with BCG therapy using immunohistochemistry. The correlation between NANOG and HDAC1 expression and clinical outcomes, including response to BCG therapy, was assessed. High-grade NMIBC cases showed significantly higher expression of NANOG and HDAC1 compared to low-grade cases (p < 0.05). Additionally, elevated NANOG expression in combination with HDAC1, was associated with poor response to BCG therapy and decreased lymphocyte infiltration in the tumor-microenvironment. NANOG is suggested to directly increases HDAC1 expression, which could suppress lymphocyte infiltration in the tumor microenvironment by altering immune-related gene expression. These findings suggest that the NANOG/HDAC1 axis plays a key role in predicting resistance to intravesical BCG therapy in NMIBC.","PeriodicalId":19806,"journal":{"name":"Pathology International","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143399708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Owing to the poor clinical outcomes associated with current therapies, the development of novel therapies that target cancer stem cells (CSCs) is desirable. Here, we examined the applicability of our previously established hydrogel-based rapid CSC generation method to human mesothelioma cell lines and further analyzed the characteristics of the induced mesothelioma stem cell (MesoSC) -like cells. Human mesothelioma cell lines cultured on hydrogels presented increased expression of pan-stem cell markers and acquired spheroid formation and early tumorigenicity, suggesting that MesoSC-like cells are highly malignant. Microarray analysis demonstrated that the expression of SLC13A5, a citrate transporter involved in TCA cycle, was significantly induced in the resulting MesoSC-like cells. The overexpression of SLC13A5 resulted in a metabolic shift toward oxidative phosphorylation, increased phosphorylation of ERK and YAP, and increased SOX2 expression, leading to increased cisplatin resistance. scRNA-seq database analysis revealed that clinical mesothelioma samples contained a small number of SLC13A5-expressing cells. Our findings suggest that the hydrogel-based CSC generation method is also effective for human mesothelioma cells and that SLC13A5 may contribute to MesoSC survival. The new properties of MesoSCs revealed in this study may provide clues for establishing future treatments.","PeriodicalId":19806,"journal":{"name":"Pathology International","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143256055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We identified nineteen colorectal adenomas with squamoid morules and collected clinicopathological data. A representative block was chosen for immunohistochemistry. The expression of p40, p63, CK5/6, beta-catenin, synaptophysin, chromogranin, and Ki-67 in squamoid morules were examined immunohistochemically. The nineteen patients comprised fifteen males (79%) and four females (21%) ranging in age from 45 to 85 years (average: 59.4 years old). Fourteen adenomas were tubulovillous adenomas (average: 3.4 cm, ranging 1.0 to 6.0 cm) and five were tubular adenomas (average: 2.6 cm, ranging 1.6 to 3.0 cm). All foci of squamoid morules showed beta-catenin nuclear positivity and CK5/6 expression. Squamoid morules were focally positive for p63 in four adenomas and focally positive for p40 in two adenomas. In two adenomas squamoid morules are focally positive for synaptophysin, and in one adenoma chromogranin was focally positive. In all nineteen adenomas squamoid morules were negative for Ki-67. Squamoid morules are characterized by strong male predominance, large adenoma size, beta-catenin nuclear positivity, CK5/6 expression, and no Ki-67 expression. Beta-catenin nuclear expression is helpful in distinguishing squamoid morules from foci of microinvasion and neuroendocrine differentiation.","PeriodicalId":19806,"journal":{"name":"Pathology International","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143080657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It maintains homeostasis through a balance between bone formation by osteoblasts and bone resorption by osteoclasts, which is regulated by the basic multicellular unit (BMU). Abnormal bone metabolism arises from an imbalance in the BMU. Osteoclasts, derived from the monocyte-macrophage lineage, are regulated by the RANKL-RANK-OPG system, which is a key factor in osteoclast differentiation. RANKL activates osteoclasts through its receptor RANK, while OPG acts as a decoy receptor that inhibits RANKL. In trabecular bone, high turnover involves rapid bone formation and resorption, influenced by conditions such as malignancy and inflammatory cytokines that increase RANKL expression. Cortical bone remodeling, regulated by aged osteocytes expressing RANKL, is less understood, despite ongoing research into how Rett syndrome, characterized by MeCP2 abnormalities, affects RANKL expression. Balancing trabecular and cortical bone involves mechanisms that preserve cortical bone, despite overall bone mass reduction due to aging or oxidative stress. Research into genes like sFRP4, which modulates bone mass, highlights the complex regulation by BMUs. The roles of the RANKL-RANK-OPG system extend beyond bone, affecting processes such as aortic valve formation and temperature regulation, which highlight the interconnected nature of biological research.","PeriodicalId":19806,"journal":{"name":"Pathology International","volume":" ","pages":"55-68"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11849001/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142864938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

BAT function is regulated by the sympathetic nervous system but declines with age, which is partly caused by reduced sympathetic nerve fibers innervating BAT. Thus far, the role of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells in age-related BAT dysfunction remains unknown. Here, we show that BAT dysfunction may be induced by a defect in the antioxidant capacity of stromal cells that localize in and around the nerve fibers (perineurial cells) of BAT. These cells express Meflin, a marker of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells. Specific deletion of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase 2 in Meflin-lineage cells caused sympathetic denervation and whitening of BAT and its functional impairment, as exemplified by a decline in the fat oxidation rate during the daytime. This phenotype was accompanied by overexpression of the neurorepulsive factor semaphorin 3A in perineurial cells. Notably, Meflin-deficient mice exhibited resistance to doxorubicin-induced BAT dysfunction. These results highlight the role of Meflin+ stromal cells, including perineurial cells, in maintaining BAT function and suggest that targeting BAT stromal cells provides a new avenue for improving BAT function.","PeriodicalId":19806,"journal":{"name":"Pathology International","volume":" ","pages":"69-81"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11848962/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142932352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

F. nucleatum was identified more frequently in esophageal cancer tissues than in the normal epithelium. F. nucleatum also showed significant correlation with factors associated with tumor progression, such as pT factor and tumor size. As tumor progression advanced, the area occupied by F. nucleatum gradually became larger. F. nucleatum positivity was observed around the deep edge of the tumor nest (border-dense type) or identified diffusely in the tumor nest (diffuse distributed type). Furthermore, F. nucleatum was observed in metastatic lymph nodes, lesions of venous invasion, and walls of veins in normal epithelium. In conclusion, we visualized F. nucleatum using FISH and identified different distribution patterns of F. nucleatum, highlighting the spot density of its presence in tumor tissues.
