Article Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are excreted from all cells in the human body and are heterogeneous lipid bilayer particles containing proteins, RNA, DNA, and other cargo. T cells are primary players of the adaptive immune system and have a significant role in anti-cancer immunotherapies. Tumor derived EVs have diverse effects on host cells including modulating the immune response. In this study, we investigate the role acute myeloid leukemia (AML) derived EVs have on modulation of gene expression levels in three different T cell populations (CD8+, CD4+, and CD4 + CD39 + T cells). AML derived EVs modulate gene expression levels in all three cell populations with transcripts associated with major immunoregulatory pathways being significantly altered. Genes whose expression were significantly upregulated or downregulated were analyzed for gene ontogeny category expression and for the impact of the changes on specific immunoregulatory pathways. CD8 + T cells were modulated to a larger extent than other T cell populations and gene expression levels associated with proliferation and differentiation were influenced by AML-derived EVs.

Distinct interleukin-6 production in IPL and TAFRO subtypes of idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease.

Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by systemic inflammation and lymphadenopathy. Two major clinical subtypes, idiopathic plasmacytic lymphadenopathy (iMCD-IPL) and iMCD with thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fever, renal dysfunction/reticulin fibrosis, and organomegaly (iMCD-TAFRO), exhibit distinct pathophysiologic mechanisms. While interleukin-6 (IL-6) is known to be elevated in iMCD, the differences in IL-6 production sources between subtypes remain unclear.

The estrogen receptor (ER or ERα) remains the primary therapeutic target for luminal breast cancer, with current treatments centered on competitive antagonists, receptor down-regulators, and aromatase inhibitors. Despite these options, resistance frequently emerges, highlighting the need for alternative targeting strategies. We discovered a novel mechanism of ER inhibition that targets the previously unexplored interface between the DNA-binding domain (DBD) and ligand-binding domain (LBD) of the receptor.

Background: In genetic studies with the Hybrid Mouse Diversity Panel, we previously identified a chromosome 9 locus for atherosclerosis. We now identify NNMT (nicotinamide -methyltransferase), an enzyme that degrades nicotinamide, as the causal gene in the locus and show that the underlying mechanism involves salvage of nicotinamide to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD).
Methods: Gain/loss of function studies in macrophages were performed to examine the role of NAD levels in macrophage proliferation and apoptosis in atherosclerosis.

Background: Previous studies have suggested that the associations between ambient air pollution and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) differ by genotype. A genome-wide approach provides a more comprehensive understanding of this relationship on a genomic scale.
Methods: Using data from ≈300 000 UK Biobank participants, we conducted a genome-wide interaction analysis on 10 745 802 variants.

Activated B-cell diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (ABC-DLBCL) is an aggressive cancer with poor response to standard chemotherapy. In search of new therapeutic leads, a library of 435 fractions prepared from the Irish marine biorepository was screened against 2 ABC-DLBCL cell lines (TMD8 and OCI-Ly10) and a non-cancerous control cell line (CB33). Active fractions are prioritized based on potency and selectivity.
