The use of chemotherapy and radiation therapy can cause depletion and/or lack of immune cells’ function. CAR-T therapy is found effective against several blood-based cancers, but limited success was seen against solid tumors. Targeting fewer antigens and significant side effects of therapy decreases the efficacy of CAR-T cells as immunotherapeutic in solid tumors, even though there is a great drive and significant effort to establish these therapies around the world. Bispecific and tri-specific antibodies have recently been advocated as effective cancer therapeutics. However, these also suffer the fate of CAR-Ts since the loss of antigen on tumor cells will render these therapeutics ineffective. At the moment we should design therapeutics that may have synergistic effects on killing/treating tumors. The only way we can establish that will be by learning the mechanisms of actions of immune therapeutics.

This paper proposed to investigate the function as well as the regulatory mechanism of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) reader leucine rich pentatricopeptide repeat containing (LRPPRC) in BC inflammation and progression.\u0000Methods: The levels of LRPPRC and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 11 (CXCL11) were detected via qRT-PCR. The regulatory mechanisms between LRPPRC and CXCL11 were investigated by RIP, MeRIP, and mRNA stability experiments. Moreover, the bio-functions of LRPPRC and CXCL11 in BC cells were explored through the CCK8, wound healing, Transwell assays. ELISA was utilized to evaluate pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β) levels.\u0000Results: LRPPRC had a considerably higher level in BC samples than in healthy samples, and LRPPRC overexpression predicted poor prognosis. LRPPRC lowexpression diminished BC cell viability, migration, and invasion, whereas overexpression facilitated malignancy. LRPPRC exerted its stimulative effect through CXCL11 m6A modification. CXCL11 upregulating suppressed the LRPPRC silencing’s antitumor effect on BC cells malignancy. CXCL11 upregulation enhances inflammatory factors secretion by BC cells.\u0000Conclusion: This study demonstrated that LRPPRC aggravated BC inflammation and malignancy by upregulating m6A modification of CXCL11. These findings offered a potential to be a target for BC patients’ therapy.","PeriodicalId":55205,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Immunology","volume":"153 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141505469","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}

SEA and Super-PRED databases were used to obtain the targets of ISOF. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis were employed to identify key targets and enriched regulatory pathways of ISOF acting on asthma. Then, a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed via STRING database and hub genes of ISOF against asthma were further screened using molecular docking. Finally, CCK-8, qPCR, and western blotting were performed to assess the targets of ISOF in treating asthma.\u0000Results: A total of 96 drug-related-disease targets from the relevant databases were screened out. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis predicted that the target genes might be involved in the PI3K-Akt pathway. The core targets of ISOF in treating asthma were identified by the PPI network and molecular docking, including MAPK1, mTOR, and NFKB1.

Chondrocyte apoptosis has important implications for OA onset and progression. This work was designed to explore the mechanisms of chondrocyte apoptosis in OA and identify key chondrocyte apoptosis-related genes (CARGs).\u0000Methods: GSE32317 and GSE55235 datasets were acquired from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. OA-associated module genes were determined via weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) in GSE32317. CARGs were acquired from public databases. ClusterProfiler was employed for GO and KEGG analyses. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network establishment was realized via STRING database and Cytoscape, and the hub genes were screened by MCC, MNC, and DMNC algorithms of cytoHubba. The diagnostic values of the hub CARGs in OA in GSE55235 was verified via receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. C28/I2 cells were stimulated with IL-1β to establish the in vitro OA model.\u0000Results: WGCNA identified 9,141 OA-related genes and 248 CARGs, resulting in 75 CARGs in OA. GO and KEGG analyses demonstrated that the 75 CARGs were primarily enriched in response to lipopolysaccharide, transcription regulator complex, DNA-binding transcription factor binding, along with NF-kappa B and TNF signaling pathways. NFKB1 and ICAM1 were identified as the hub CARGs in OA through the three algorithms, which showed favorable prognostic values for OA.

Electroacupuncture (EA) has been shown to exert a neuroprotective effect in IS. However, the specific anti-IS mechanisms of EA remain to be further elucidated. Thus, we aimed to investigate the anti-IS role of EA and its mechanism.\u0000Methods: By constructing a rat IS (middle cerebral artery occlusion, MCAO) model and performing EA treatment, the neurological deficit score, brain water content, and cerebral infarction were evaluated. ELISA was used to measure the levels of oxidative stress (OS)-related molecules (MDA, SOD, GSH, and CAT). Ferroptosis-related proteins (GPX4, SLC7A11, TfR1, L-ferritin, and hepcidin), neurological damage-related proteins (GFAP, Iba-1, and Nestin), α7nAChR, and mTOR pathway-related proteins (mTOR, p-mTOR, and SREBP1) in rat brain penumbra were assessed using western blotting.\u0000Results: Following EA treatment, the neurological deficit score, brain water content, cerebral infarction, and GFAP, Iba-1, and Nestin expression were reduced in the brain penumbra of MCAO rats. Additionally, EA treatment decreased MDA level and increased SOD, GSH, and CAT levels in the brain penumbra of MCAO rats. Moreover, MCAO rats showed elevated GPX4 and SLC7A11 expression and reduced TfR1, L-ferritin, and hepcidin in the brain penumbra following EA treatment. After EA treatment, α7nAChR, mTOR, p-mTOR, and SREBP1 expression were upregulated in the brain penumbra of MCAO rats.\u0000Conclusions: EA treatment inhibited OS and ferroptosis to exert a neuroprotective effect in IS, which might be realized via the activation of mTOR/SREBP1 signaling.","PeriodicalId":55205,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Immunology","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140035956","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}
