Therefore, understanding the factors driving RA is crucial for developing targeted therapies and improving patient outcomes. With various genetic variants contributing to RA, this article explores the role of differential gene expression in patients with RA and in different ethnic populations and how the genes contribute to RA susceptibility. Key takeaways from this review demonstrate how HLA shared epitope alleles and non-HLA genes have a strong association with RA and play an important role in immune regulation, autoantibody production, cytokine production, and development of extra-articular manifestations observed in RA. Additionally, gene expression in RA can vary across different sexes and ethnic populations, emphasizing the importance of developing personalized therapeutic interventions. These findings provide insight into the role of differential gene expression in improving diagnostic and therapeutic strategies and highlights potential therapeutic targets for RA management.

The complex pathogenesis of IBD involves a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune factors, which complicates the achievement of long-term remission. Lower abdominal pain, stomach cramps, blood in stool, chronic diarrhea, fatigue, and unexpected weight loss are common presenting symptoms. Despite the range of therapies and medications, including anti-inflammatory and anti-diarrheal drugs, immunosuppressants, antibiotics, and analgesics aimed at managing symptoms and controlling inflammation, a definitive cure for IBD remains elusive. Current therapy targets inflammation, mainly cytokines, inflammatory receptors, and immune cells, however, there is a need for novel targets to improve clinical outcomes. To identify novel targets and interactions among various factors, we performed a network analysis using various cytokines, TLRs, and NLRP3 inflammasome as inputs. This analysis revealed orosomucoid-like protein 3/ORMDL sphingolipid biosynthesis regulator 3 (ORMDL3) as a central hub gene interacting with multiple factors. While the role of ORMDL3 in IBD pathogenesis is not well-established, our findings and existing literature suggest that ORMDL3 plays a role in inflammation, impaired mitochondrial function, and disrupted autophagy, all contributing to the disease progression. Given its central role in these pathogenic processes, targeting ORMDL3 presents a promising therapeutic target. Modulating ORMDL3 activity could alleviate inflammation, restore mitochondrial function, and enhance autophagy, potentially leading to more effective treatments and improved outcomes for IBD patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":518002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biotechnology and biomedicine","volume":"7 4","pages":"433-444"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11606571/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142776301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These patches, derived from human or animal sources such as dermis or small intestinal submucosa, undergo mechanical and pathological changes within the rotator cuff environment post-implantation. These patches provide structural reinforcement to the repair site, distributing forces more evenly across the tendon and promoting a gradual load transfer during the healing process. This redistribution of forces helps alleviate tension on the repaired tendon and surrounding tissues, potentially reducing the risk of re-tears and improving overall repair integrity. Moreover, biological patches serve as scaffolds for cellular infiltration and tissue ingrowth, facilitating the recruitment of cells and promoting collagen synthesis. The integration of these patches into the host tissue involves a cascade of cellular events, including inflammation, angiogenesis, and matrix remodeling. Inflammatory responses triggered by patch implantation contribute to the recruitment of immune cells and the release of cytokines and growth factors, fostering a microenvironment conducive to tissue repair.

This process includes different but overlapping stages: hemostasis, inflammatory phase, the proliferative phase, and the remodeling phase. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as a mechanical insult to the brain from external mechanical force (primary injury), usually followed by the secondary injury including edema, inflammation, excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, or mitochondrial dysfunction. The process of tissue repair following TBI is based on the neuronal-glial interactions, where phagocytosis by microglia plays a crucial role. Low-frequency electromagnetic field (LF-EMF) has been shown to enhance tissue repair after TBI, however, there are limited studies investigating the effects of LF-EMF on the proliferation and migration of keratinocytes, fibroblasts, VSMCs, and endothelial cells in the context of wound healing and on neuronal cells and microglia in relation to healing after TBI. Better understanding of the effects of LF-EMF on the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of these cells is important to enhance tissue healing after injury. This review article comprehensively discussed the effect of EMF/LF-EMF on these cells. Results published by different authors are hardly comparable due to different methodological approach and experimental settings. EMF promotes migration and proliferation of fibroblasts, keratinocytes and endothelial cells (EC), and thus could improve wound healing. The pilot study preformed on a large animal model of TBI suggests anti-inflammatory effects of EMF stimulation following TBI.
