Article Abstract

Fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) are the specialized lymphoid stromal cells initially identified as triggering T-cell recruitment and dynamic motion in secondary lymphoid organs. Interestingly, FRCs also display antigen presentation capacities and support lymphocyte survival. CXCR5CD4 follicular T cells are important players of B-cell maturation and antibody response. Our study reported that -differentiated FRC-like cells enhanced the growth of the whole CXCR5CD4 T-cell compartment, while enhancing IL-4 secretion specifically by the PD1CXCR5CD4 cell subset, in a Notch- and ICAM1/LFA1-dependent manner. In addition, we revealed that in follicular lymphoma (FL) tissues, previously identified as enriched for PD1CXCR5CD4 mature follicular helper T cells, PD1CXCR5CD4 T cells displayed an enrichment for Notch and integrin gene signatures, and a Notch and ICAM-1-dependent overexpression of IL-4 compared to their non-malignant counterparts. These findings suggest that the crosstalk between FRCs and CXCR5PD1CD4 T cells may contribute to the FL IL-4 rich environment, thus providing new insights in FL lymphomagenesis.

[Mechanism and features of blood vessel damage around the gunshot wound canal].

Sud Med Ekspert

January 2025

Bureau of Forensic Medical Expertise, Saint-Petersburg, Russia.

Unlabelled: Forming wound canal is one of the main signs of gunshot wound. Its features are related to the following differential diagnostic signs: presence of gunshot wound, its intravitality, prescription, direction of projectile (bullet) movement, power of used weapon, etc.

Objective: To study the mechanisms of wound canal formation in gunshot injury, the pattern of damage to the biological tissues of its walls (mainly, blood vessels), the features of hemorrhages forming around it.

Evidence indicates that transposable elements (TEs) can contribute to the evolution of new traits, with some TEs acting as deleterious elements while others are repurposed for beneficial roles in evolution. In mammals, some KRAB-ZNF proteins can serve as a key defense mechanism to repress TEs, offering genomic protection. Notably, the family of KRAB-ZNF genes evolves rapidly and exhibits diverse expression patterns in primate brains, where some TEs, including autonomous LINE-1 and non-autonomous Alu and SVA elements, remain mobile.

Systemic Delivery of an mRNA-Encoding, Tumor-Activated Interleukin-12 Lock to Eliminate Tumors and Avoid Immune-Related Adverse Events.

Nano Lett

Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a robust proinflammatory cytokine that activates immune cells, such as T cells and natural killer cells, to induce antitumor immunity. However, the clinical application of recombinant IL-12 has been limited by systemic immune-related adverse events (irAEs) and rapid degradation. To address these challenges, we employed mRNA technology to encode a tumor-activated IL-12 "lock" fusion protein that offers both therapeutic efficacy and systemic safety.

Roles of Extracellular Superoxide Dismutase in Regulating Cell Migration and Vesicle Trafficking in Dictyostelium and Mammalian Cells.

Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are key regulators of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and redox balance. Although intracellular SODs have been extensively studied, growing attention has been directed toward understanding the roles of extracellular SODs in both Dictyostelium and mammalian systems. In Dictyostelium discoideum, SodC is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored enzyme that modulates extracellular superoxide to regulate Ras, PI3K signaling, and cytoskeletal remodeling during directional cell migration.
