Article Abstract

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is one of the most common autoimmune diseases in children. Our study aimed to evaluate the peripheral blood B and T lymphocyte subpopulations in children with JIA. This case-control study included 20 children with JIA as well as 20 healthy children with matching age and sex as a control group. All patients included in the study were in activity as determined by visual analog scale. In addition to complete clinical evaluation, basic investigations, peripheral blood B and T lymphocyte subpopulations were done to all participants by flow cytometry. JIA patients displayed a significant decrease in IgM memory B lymphocytes, switched memory B lymphocytes, and total memory B lymphocytes when compared to the healthy controls. The percentages of naïve B lymphocytes were significantly increased in JIA patients than in controls. Total T lymphocytes, CD8CD28 cells, and CD4CD28 cells were significantly increased in JIA patients as compared to controls. In conclusion; JIA patients have an alteration in both B and T lymphocytes with the predisposition of memory cells which may have a role in sustaining the JIA disease activity.

Objective: CXCR4 and integrin αβ play important roles in tumor biology and are highly expressed in multiple types of tumors. This study aimed to synthesize, preclinically evaluate, and clinically validate a novel dual-targeted PET imaging probe Ga-pentixafor-c(RGDfK) for its potential in imaging tumors.

Methods: The effects of Ga-pentixafor-c(RGDfK) on cell viability, targeting specificity, and affinity were assessed in the U87MG cells.
