Introduction: Immunosuppression is the main cause of the high mortality rate in patients with sepsis. The decrease in the number and dysfunction of CD4 T lymphocytes is crucial to the immunosuppressed state of sepsis, in turn affecting the development and prognosis of sepsis. Autophagy has been shown to play an important role in the immune imbalance exhibited during sepsis.

The occurrence of metastasis is a major factor contributing to poor prognosis in colorectal cancer. Different stages of the disease play a crucial role in distant metastasis. Furthermore, m6A has been demonstrated to play a significant role in regulating tumor metastasis.

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs) therapy has advanced significantly in treating malignant tumors, though most 'cold' tumors show no response. This resistance mainly arises from the varied immune evasion mechanisms. Hence, understanding the transformation from 'cold' to 'hot' tumors is essential in developing effective cancer treatments.

Although apatinib is a promising drug for the treatment of liver cancer, the underlying drug resistance mechanism is still unclear. Here, we constructed apatinib-resistant HepG2 cells. We then characterized the epigenomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic landscapes both in apatinib-resistant and non-resistant HepG2 cells.

Background: To date, immunotherapy for patients with malignant tumors has shown a significant association with myocarditis. However, the mechanism of metabolic reprogramming changes for immunotherapy-related cardiotoxicity is still not well understood.

Methods: The CD45 single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of the Pdcd1Ctla4 and wild-type mouse heart in GSE213486 was downloaded to demonstrate the heterogeneity of immunocyte atlas in immunotherapy-related myocarditis.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most malignant cancers worldwide, with high mortality. However, the molecular regulatory mechanisms of liver cancer, especially transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms, should be further studied. Here we used chromatin and cross-linking immunoprecipitation with high throughput sequencing methods (ChIP-seq and CLIP-seq) to capture the global binding profiles on RNAs and DNAs of Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and its partner Jumonji And AT-Rich Interaction Domain Containing 2 (JARID2) in liver carcinoma cell lines (HepG2) and normal liver cell line (THLE-2), respectively.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide, and it is the second leading cause of death from cancer in the world, accounting for approximately 9% of all cancer deaths. Early detection of CRC is urgently needed in clinical practice.

Aim: To build a multi-parameter diagnostic model for early detection of CRC.

Objective: colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common cancer with high mortality. This study aimed to investigate the role of microRNA (miR)-132-3p on proliferation, invasion and migration of CRC cells.

Materials And Methods: qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses were used to determine the expression of miR-132-3p and forking box (FOX) protein 2 (FOXP2) in CRC cell line CACO-2.

There is increasing evidence that tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) are critical in the formation of lung metastases. However, the molecular mechanisms of tumour interactions with TAMs via EMT are largely unknown. The mechanism of lung metastasis was studied in patient tissues.

Article Synopsis
  • Peripheral circulating monocytes and resident macrophages are essential for lung health and respond differently during LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
  • In an experiment with mice, researchers used flow cytometry to analyze changes in monocyte populations and macrophage states after LPS injection, revealing distinct patterns of immune cell response over time.
  • Findings showed that while circulating Ly6C monocytes and M2-like alveolar macrophages (AMϕ) exhibited significant dynamic changes post-LPS challenge, interstitial macrophages (IMϕ) remained stable, suggesting potential new strategies for enhancing lung immunity.

Objective: The change of bacterial flora structure in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients after treatment is not clear. The aim of this study was to explore the change and function of intestinal microflora in CRC before and after treatment.

Method: The 16S conserved region V3+V4 of intestinal flora obtained from CRC patients was sequenced and analyzed.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a malignant tumor with poor prognosis while its mechanisms of pathogenesis remain elusive. In this study, we performed systemic epigenomic and transcriptomic profiling via MNase-seq, ChIP-seq and RNA-seq in normal cholangiocyte and ICC cell lines. We showed that active histone modifications (H3K4me3, H3K4me1 and H3K27ac) were less enriched on cancer-related genes in ICC cell lines compared to control.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), one of the most common primary malignancies, is theoretically an epitope candidate for immune checkpoint inhibitors, and therefore, the identification of HCC biomarkers is important. Structure-specific recognition protein 1 (SSRP1) is involved in almost all chromatin-related processes, including DNA replication, repair, and transcription. However, its role in HCC remains to be elucidated.
