Article Abstract
Recently, there has been a growing interest in the importance of stem cells (SCs) in the development/progression of gastric neoplasms. In this study, we performed a comprehensive analysis of different populations of bone-marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) in patients with various types of gastric malignancies, including gastric cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs), and lymphomas. We found significantly lower numbers of circulating Lin-/CD45 +/ CD133 + hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs), and intensified peripheral trafficking of both Lin-/CD45-/CXCR4+/CD34+/CD133+ very small embryonic/epiblast-like stem cells (VSELs) and CD105 + /STRO-1 +/ CD45- mesenchymal SCs (MSCs) in patients with gastric cancer, but not in those with other types of gastric neoplasms. No significant differences in the absolute numbers of circulating CD34 +/ KDR +/ CD31 +/ CD45- endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were observed between the groups. This abnormal balance in the peripheral trafficking of BMSCs in patients with gastric cancer was neither associated with clinical stage of the disease nor with systemic levels of stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), as these were comparable to the values observed in control individuals. Interestingly, the absolute numbers of circulating BMSCs correlated with the concentrations of complement cascade-derived anaphylatoxins/molecules (mainly C5b-9/membrane attack complex-MAC) and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). In summary, our translational study revealed that abnormal peripheral trafficking of BMSCs occurs in patients with gastric cancer, but not in those with other types of gastric neoplasms. Further, our findings indicate that highlighted complement cascade-derived molecules and S1P, but not SDF-1, are significant players associated with this phenomenon.

Arachidonic acid metabolism through cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways is fundamental to inflammation, vascular homeostasis, and neuronal signaling. Here, we investigated the roles of platelet-expressed COX (PTGS1) and LOX (ALOX12) isoforms in amyloid-β (Aβ) secretion, a process implicated in the pathogenesis of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Using an integrative approach combining bioinformatic protein-protein interaction mapping, pathway enrichment analysis, and experimental validation, we identified extensive networks linking PTGS and ALOX isoforms to cytoskeletal remodeling, mitochondrial function, and vesicle trafficking.

Tissue resident memory T cells (TRM) provide protection against local re-infection, and yet the interstitial signals that govern their formation and persistence remain poorly defined. Here, we show that antigen-dependent induction of the chemokine receptor CXCR6, is a conserved adaptation to peripheral tissue infiltration that promotes TRM formation after viral infection. Deficient TRM formation in the absence of CXCR6 was not explained by trafficking as CXCR6 was not required for tissue entry, was dispensable for the early accumulation of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells in skin, and did not restrain their exit.

Neuronal growth regulator 1 (NEGR1) has been identified as a critical risk factor for major depressive disorders in humans. Although NEGR1 is predominantly expressed in the brain, its deletion in mice (Negr1) results in abnormalities in peripheral tissues, suggesting a role beyond the nervous system, particularly in intracellular lipid trafficking. However, the role of NEGR1 in testosterone production has not yet been elucidated.

The "gut-brain axis" is an emerging target in Alzheimer's disease (AD), although its immunological features remain poorly understood. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, coupled to extensive spectral-tuning flow cytometry validation of the colon immune compartment in the 5XFAD amyloid-β mouse model, we found several AD-associated changes including in B/plasma cell activity. Notably, levels of CXCR4 antibody-secreting cells are reduced in 5XFAD colons.
