However, its role in RA pathogenesis remains unexplored. This study investigated the influence of APEX1 on inflammatory pathways in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) isolated from RA patients.Material and methods: FLS from RA patients (n = 5) were stimulated with recombinant tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-17. Subsequently, cells were treated with recombinant APEX1, and assessments were made on reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and mitochondrial membrane potential. Additionally, mRNA levels of IL-1 family members were quantified. Cell migration was evaluated through Transwell chamber assays, and levels of key secreted inflammatory cytokines were measured via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results: The results demonstrated that APEX1 significantly reduced mitochondrial-specific ROS expression and restored mitochondrial membrane potential in TNF-α/IL-17-stimulated RA FLS. Furthermore, APEX1 treatments attenuated TNF-α/IL-17-induced activation of p38 MAPK, NF-κB, and PI3K 110 δ signaling pathways. Similarly, APEX1 significantly diminished TNF-α/IL-17-induced expression of inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1 family members, IL-6, IL-8, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Notably, APEX1 downregulated cell migration of TNF-α/IL-17-treated RA FLS via inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3).Conclusions: These findings collectively underscore the role of APEX1 as a key mediator of cytokine-amplified migration, modulating ROS and MMP3 in RA FLS, thus supporting its potential as a therapeutic target in RA treatment.","PeriodicalId":9694,"journal":{"name":"Central European Journal of Immunology","volume":"49 2","pages":"113-125"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11457561/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142388338","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}

However, there is a subset of RA patients who test negative for both RF and ACPA, known as seronegative rheumatoid arthritis (SNRA).Material and methods: The levels of serum markers were examined in both clinical samples and a rat model of type II collagen-induced RA (CIA). The effect of interleukin 9 (IL-9) on RA was investigated using recombinant rat IL-9 (rrIL-9), anti-rat IL-9 neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb), and control IgG antibody in the CIA rat. The severity of arthritis was assessed. Treg and Th17 cells, M1 and M2 macrophages, and inflammatory cytokine levels were analyzed.Results: We observed higher levels of IL-9 in clinical samples from SNRA patients compared to the normal group. Rat models of CIA exhibit increased arthritis scores, weight loss, paw swelling, and severe joint damage. IL-9 was the most sensitive serum marker for the diagnosis of RA in serum assays of CIA rats. IL-9 increased arthritis scores and cartilage damage, whereas treatment with IL-9 inhibitors produced the opposite effect. IL-9 inhibitors promoted Treg/Th17 homeostasis, decreased M1 macrophages, increased M2 macrophages, and decreased levels of inflammatory cytokines in joint tissues.Conclusions: These results suggest that IL-9 has potential as a diagnostic marker for SNRA. Inhibition of IL-9 could reduce the severity of arthritis in CIA rats by ameliorating inflammation and modulating the Treg/Th17 immune balance, M2 and M1 macrophage activation.","PeriodicalId":9694,"journal":{"name":"Central European Journal of Immunology","volume":"49 2","pages":"132-146"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11457572/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142388346","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}

Its result remains an important diagnostic tool in various medical fields. Cytometric tests are performed in many laboratories, making the comparability between different devices using the same method an important aspect. We aimed to compare the results of lymphocyte immunophenotyping (lymphocytes B, T, Th and Tc, NK cells) between two different flow cytometers.Material and methods: The study included 93 patients of the Children's Teaching Hospital of the Medical University of Warsaw and 9 Multi-Check control results. The method of lymphocyte subpopulation assessment was based on fluorescent flow cytometry immunophenotyping, using a BD Multitest 6-color TBNK kit (Becton Dickinson). We compared BD FACSCanto II and BD FACSLyric analysers (Becton Dickinson). For data analysis, we used Spearman's rank correlation, Bland-Altman plot and Passing-Bablok regression.Results: Spearman's rank correlation showed a strong interrelation for all analysed parameters (0.808-0.985). In the Passing-Bablok regression analysis, all examined parameters showed linear dependence with the slope values close to 1 (0.940-1.134). Bland-Altman coefficient values were within the range of 2.94-8.62% with half of them being above 5% (T, Tc, Th, B, NKT absolute values and B percentage values).Conclusions: The results from both cytometers can be considered equivalent, but it should be noted that one of the statistical methods showed some deviations, presumably primarily due to the evaluators' different gating techniques.

However, there is still a lack of specific biomarkers for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis assessment for glioma patients. Hence, the purpose of this study was to screen biomarkers for prognostic assessment and therapeutic interventions in gliomas.Material and methods: We utilized The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) databases to investigate the role of colony-stimulating factor 3 receptor (CSF3R) in glioma. Data analysis was conducted using R, GEPIA 2, TISCH and DepMap.Results: CSF3R was up-regulated in glioma and associated with the clinical pathological features of the patients. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated a significant association between the expression of CSF3R and prognosis in patients. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses revealed that patients with high expression of CSF3R have a worse prognosis, and the expression of CSF3R was an independent prognostic factor in gliomas. The nomogram constructed based on the expression of CSF3R demonstrated lower 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival (OS) in patients with high CSF3R expression. The biological functional analysis of CSF3R demonstrated its association with various immune regulatory signals. Furthermore, CSF3R was linked to the expression of immune checkpoints and resistance to immunotherapy. Notably, CSF3R was predominantly detected in monocytes/macrophages.Conclusions: Our study suggested that CSF3R might potentially function as an independent prognostic factor for glioma and hold promise as a biomarker and target for immunotherapy in glioma.","PeriodicalId":9694,"journal":{"name":"Central European Journal of Immunology","volume":"49 2","pages":"155-168"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11457564/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142388341","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}

This study explores the roles of interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and nesfatin-1 in periodontal diseases, aiming to contribute to the molecular understanding of their pathogenesis.Material and methods: A diverse cohort of 62 participants was recruited, spanning ages 20 to 60, and categorized into healthy, gingivitis, and periodontitis groups. Clinical measurements, including plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth, and bleeding on probing, were conducted. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples were collected for IL-1β and nesfatin-1 analysis using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Statistical analysis employed Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman correlation tests.Results: Significant differences in oral hygiene habits were observed among groups, particularly in the 40-60 age range. Clinical indices showed variations, with the highest IL-1β levels in the periodontitis group and the lowest nesfatin-1 levels. Correlation analysis revealed positive associations between IL-1β, nesfatin-1, and oral indices.Conclusions: While providing valuable insights, we acknowledge this study's limitations, including a cross-sectional design and a specific age range.
