Article Abstract
SIGLEC9 (sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 9) is a molecule thought to have a significant influence on the immune properties of the colorectal cancer (CRC) tumor microenvironment (TME). In our study, we assessed the expression of the SIGLEC9 protein in CRC tissue and the surgical margin tissue. Using RT-PCR, we analyzed mutations in the KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, PIK3CA, and AKT genes. We observed a significantly elevated expression of the SIGLEC9 protein in CRC tissue compared to the control group. No significant differences were observed in SIGLEC9 protein expression depending on mutations in the KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, PIK3CA, and AKT genes or microsatellite instability (MSI) status. However, we found a significantly higher expression of the SIGLEC9 protein in high-grade tumors compared to the low-grade tumors group. SIGLEC9 expression was significantly associated with the expression of multiple cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors in the CRC TME. These associations suggest the significant potential of SIGLEC9 as a molecule that plays a crucial role in shaping the immune properties of the CRC TME, as well as its potential therapeutic relevance, particularly in the group of high-grade CRC tumors.

Background: Pulpitis is an oral disease primarily triggered by microbial infections. Current therapeutic strategies lack specific agents targeting the underlying pathogenic mechanisms. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and their competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks have emerged as critical regulators of diverse biological processes, offering novel insights into the pathogenesis of pulpitis and the identification of potential therapeutic targets.

Metastasis remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality, driven by complex interactions within the tumor microenvironment (TME). Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play a pivotal role in metastatic progression, yet their molecular diversity and upstream regulators remain poorly defined. Glycoprotein nonmetastatic melanoma protein B (GPNMB), overexpressed in subsets of tumors including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), is implicated in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer stemness.

Sulfation of -acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) moieties of glycans is a common modification that has been implicated in many biological and disease processes. Glycans having sulfate replaced by a stable analogue may find use as glycomimetic drugs. Here, we describe the synthesis of analogues of UDP-GlcNAc in which C-6 hydroxyl is replaced by a thiol or disulfide-protected thiol.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), characterized by liver inflammation, fibrosis, and fat accumulation, can develop into cirrhosis and liver cancer. Despite its increasing prevalence worldwide, there are few established therapies for advanced MASH. We previously demonstrated that stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth-conditioned media (SHED-CM) exerted therapeutic effects in a MASH mouse model.

Background: The endogenous negative regulation of platelets is important in preventing spontaneous thrombosis, while the mechanism of homeostasis is incompletely understood.
Objectives: In this study, we aimed to explore whether Siglec-9 plays a negative regulative role and identify the ligand of Siglec-9 on platelets.
Methods: To determine the role of Siglec-9 on platelets, platelet factor 4-cre:Siglec-E knockout mouse model and human platelet in vitro culture system were used.
