Article Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have gathered attention as a biomarker for carcinomas. However, CTCs in sarcomas have received little attention. In this work, we investigated cell surface proteins and antibody combinations for immunofluorescence detection of sarcoma CTCs. A microfluidic device that combines filtration and immunoaffinity using gangliosides 2 and cell surface vimentin (CSV) antibodies was employed to capture CTCs. For CTC detection, antibodies against cytokeratins 7 and 8 (CK), pan-cytokeratin (panCK), or a combination of panCK and CSV were used. Thirty-nine blood samples were collected from 21 patients of various sarcoma subtypes. In the independent samples study, samples were subjected to one of three antibody combination choices. Significant difference in CTC enumeration was found between CK and panCK + CSV, and between panCK and panCK + CSV. Upon stratification of CK samples, those of metastatic disease had a higher CTC number than those of localized disease. In the paired samples study involving cytokeratin-positive sarcoma subtypes, using panCK antibody detected more CTCs than CK. Similarly, for osteosarcoma, using panCK + CSV combination resulted in a higher CTC count than panCK. This study emphasized deliberate selection of cell surface proteins for sarcoma CTC detection and subtype stratification for studying cancers as heterogeneous as sarcomas.

[Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) : a GIP/GLP-1 receptor dual agonist for the treatment of type 2 diabetes].

Tirzepatide is a unimolecular dual agonist of both glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors, recently commercialized and reimbursed in Belgium for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Because of the complementarity of action of the two incretins, tirzepatide showed, in a dose-dependent manner (5, 10 and 15 mg as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection), a better efficacy (greater reduction in HbA1c and body weight) compared with placebo, semaglutide 1 mg, basal insulin and preprandial boluses of insulin lispro in six studies of the SURPASS programme. Tirzepatide tolerance is almost similar to that of pure GLP-1 receptor agonists, with digestive adverse events, most often during the first weeks after initiation, which justifies the recommendation of progressive titration every four weeks.

Through applying the hybridization technique, new coumarin derivatives (2-17) were prepared with substitution at coumarin C-3 utilizing various heterocyclic derivatives, aiming to afford multi-target carbonic anhydrases (CAs) IX/XII and topoisomerase II (Topo II) inhibitors with potent antiproliferative activity. Eight different cell lines were used to evaluate the growth inhibition percentages (GI%) of cancer cells determined by coumarin analogues 1-17. Analogues 16 and 17 had the most substantial cytotoxic effects, achieving mean GI% of 86.

Objective: To expand the clinical phenotype associated with MYRF mutations in disorders of sex development (DSDs).
Methods: We present a case of a 17-year-old patient with a female phenotype who presented with primary amenorrhea.
Results: The patient's external genitalia was entirely female in appearance, though there was no opening of vagina below the orifice of urethra.
FocA belongs to the formate-nitrite transporter (FNT) superfamily of pentameric membrane proteins, which translocate small, monovalent anions across the cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria, archaea and certain protists. FocA translocates formate anions or formic acid bidirectionally through a hydrophobic pore present in each protomer. This pore has two highly conserved amino acid residues, threonine 91 and histidine 209 that are proposed to protonate the anion during the translocation process.

Background: Cancer promotes muscle wasting through an imbalance in the tightly regulated protein synthesis and degradation processes. An array of intracellular signalling pathways, including mTORC1 and AMPK, regulate protein synthesis, and these pathways are responsive to the muscle's microenvironment and systemic stimuli. Although feeding and fasting are established systemic regulators of muscle mTORC1 and protein synthesis, the cancer environment's impact on these responses during cachexia development is poorly understood.
