An immunosenescent CD8+ T cell subset in patients with axial Spondyloarthritis and Psoriatic Arthritis links spontaneous motility to telomere shortening and dysfunction.

Objective: A pathogenetic role of CD8+ T lymphocytes in radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) and other spondyloarthritis (SpA) is sustained by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and by the expansion of public T cell clonotypes in the target tissues. This study investigates the migration of CD8+ T cells, along with their phenotype and functions in patients with r-axSpA and psoriatic arthritis (PsA).

Methods: Peripheral blood CD8+ and CD4+ T cells were isolated from r-axSpA (n= 128), PsA (n= 60) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA, n= 74) patients and healthy donors (HD, n= 79).

Mitochondrial chaperonin DNAJC15 promotes vulnerability to ferroptosis of chemoresistant ovarian cancer cells.

DNAJC15 is a mitochondrial TIMM23-related co-chaperonin known for its role in regulating oxidative phosphorylation efficiency, oxidative stress response and lipid metabolism. Recently, it has been proposed that the loss of DNAJC15 correlates with cisplatin (CDDP)-resistance onset in ovarian cancer (OC), suggesting this protein as a potential prognostic factor during OC progression. However, the molecular mechanisms through which DNAJC15 contributes to CDDP response remains poorly investigated.

Efficacy and Safety of Janus Kinase-Inhibitors in Ulcerative Colitis.

Janus kinase-inhibitors (JAK-i) have recently been approved for treating patients with Ulcerative Colitis (); therefore, further information is needed, particularly regarding efficacy and safety. To provide a comprehensive review regarding the efficacy and safety of currently available JAK-i in UC. The PubMed and Scopus databases were considered, searching for 'JAK', 'JAK-inhibitor', 'Janus Kinases', 'Tofacitinib', 'Filgotinib', 'Upadacitinib', individually or in combination with 'IBD', 'Ulcerative Colitis', 'safety', 'efficacy', 'study' and 'trial'.
