Article Abstract
Aberrant innate immune responses to the gut microbiota are causally involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The exact triggers and main signaling pathways activating innate immune cells and how they modulate adaptive immunity in IBD is still not completely understood. Here, we report that the PI3K/PTEN signaling pathway in dendritic cells enhances IL-6 production in a model of DSS-induced colitis. This results in exacerbated Th1 cell responses and increased mortality in DC-specific PTEN knockout (PTEN) animals. Depletion of the gut microbiota using antibiotics as well as blocking IL-6R signaling rescued mortality in PTEN mice, whereas adoptive transfer of Flt3L-derived PTEN DCs into WT recipients exacerbated DSS-induced colitis and increased mortality. Taken together, we show that the PI3K signaling pathway in dendritic cells contributes to disease pathology by promoting IL-6 mediated Th1 responses.

Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in coordinating immune responses by linking innate and adaptive immunity through their exceptional antigen-presenting capabilities. Recent studies reveal that metabolic reprogramming-especially pathways involving acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA)-critically influences DC function in both physiological and pathological contexts. This review consolidates current knowledge on how environmental factors, tumor-derived signals, and intrinsic metabolic pathways collectively regulate DC development, subset differentiation, and functional adaptability.

The purpose of this study was to investigate potential therapeutic targets for osteosarcoma (OS) and offer hints regarding genetic factors for OS treatment using a bioinformatics method. This study processed 3 OS datasets from the gene expression omnibus database using R software, screening for differentially expressed genes (DEGs). After enrichment analysis, based on expression quantitative trait loci data and the genome-wide association study data of OS, Mendelian randomization analysis was used to screen the genes closely related to OS disease, which intersect with DEGs to obtain co-expressed genes, validation datasets were employed to verify the results.

Lower back pain caused by intervertebral disk degeneration (IDD) is a common problem among middle-aged and older adults. We aimed to identify novel diagnostic biomarkers of IDD and analyze the potential association between key genes and immune cell infiltration. We screened differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to IDD and gene sets associated with mitochondrial energy metabolism using the Gene Expression Omnibus and GeneCards databases, respectively.

To explore the clinical features, histopathological morphology, and differential diagnosis of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma with abnormal expression of follicular dendritic cell markers. From 2020 to 2021, 4 cases of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma with abnormal expression of follicular dendritic cell markers diagnosed in Fujian Cancer Hospital (2 cases) and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University (2 cases) were collected. Different ancillary procedures such as HE, special stains, immunohistochemistry, and in situ hybridization techniques were used to assess the histopathological features and immunophenotypes.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most powerful antigen-presenting cells (APCs) within the tumour microenvironment (TME), where they orchestrate T cell-mediated anti-tumour immunity and can also be reprogrammed to promote the progression of tumours in the TME. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are very small and they are secreted by cells and wrapped in lipid bilayers that shuttle bioactive cargoes, including proteins, nucleic acids, and metabolites, to recipient cells, thereby influencing the progression of diseases, including cancer. DC-derived EVs (DC-EVs) play pivotal roles in the TME by mediating crosstalk with other immune and stromal cells to modulate inflammatory responses, angiogenesis, cell death, and immune evasion, thereby regulating the development and progression of tumours.
