Upon analyzing 696 childhood B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) cases, we identified the characteristics of CD66c expression. In addition to the confirmation of strong correlation with BCR-ABL positivity and hyperdiploid, we further observed that CD66c is frequently expressed in CRLF2-positive (11/15, p<0.01 against chimeric gene-negative) as well as hypodiploid cases (3/4), whereas it is never expressed in ETV6-RUNX1, MLL-AF4, MLL-AF9, MLL-ENL, and E2A-PBX1-positive cases. Although the expression of CD66c itself is not directly linked to the prognosis, the accompanying genetic abnormalities are important prognostic factors for BCP-ALL, indicating the importance of CD66c expression in the initial diagnosis of BCP-ALL.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients often exhibit expansion of the gut pathobiont, adherent-invasive E. coli (AIEC). Loss of activity of the IBD susceptibility gene, protein tyrosine phosphatase type 2 (PTPN2), causes gut microbiota dysbiosis in IBD patients, while Ptpn2 knock-out (Ptpn2-KO) mice display AIEC expansion.

: Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 6 (CEACAM6) is involved in pancreatic cancer progression and is an attractive therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of small-interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting CEACAM6 (siCEACAM6) and the CEACAM6-suppressive microRNA-29a (miR-29a) in a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma xenograft mouse model using pH-low insertion peptide (pHLIP) technology, which targets the acidic tumor microenvironment. : The delivery vectors for siRNA and miRNA were constructed by conjugating the peptide nucleic acid forms of siCEACAM6 and miR-29a to a peptide with a pHLIP, enabling the transport of siRNA and miRNA across the plasma membrane.

Objectives: Active cigarette smoking leads to increased CXCL5 production. CXCL5 mediates the immune response by attracting immune cells to areas of inflammation. Elevated CXCL5 levels are associated with various inflammatory diseases and tumorigenesis.

Objectives: To investigate CEACAM6 expression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and its regulatory effects on tumor cell proliferation, migration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).
Methods: CEACAM6 expression in NPC was analyzed using GEO datasets and validated by immunohistochemistry in NPC tissues and by Western blotting and RT-qPCR in NPC cell lines (HNE1, C666-1, HK1, 5-8F and CNE2Z) and normal nasopharyngeal epithelial NP69 cells. In the NPC cell lines, the effects of lentivirus-mediated CEACAM6 overexpression and knockdown on cell proliferation, migration, invasion and cytoskeletal structures were evaluated using CCK-8 assay, Edu staining, wound healing assay, Transwell assay, and phalloidin staining.

Monitoring measurable residual disease (MRD) is critical for the management of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). While a quantitative assessment of BCR::ABL1 transcripts is standard for Philadelphia chromosome-positive cases (Ph+ ALL), a multiparameter flow cytometry (FCM) is commonly used for MRD detection in other genetic subtypes. A total of 106 B-ALL patients underwent genetic and phenotypic analyses.
