Arsenite exposure induces premature senescence and senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in human hepatocyte-derived cell line Huh-7.

Background: Chronic arsenite exposure has been known to induce cancer in various organs; however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. The characteristic feature of carcinogenesis due to arsenic exposure is that the disease develops after a prolonged latent period, even after cessation of exposure. Our previous study revealed that arsenite exposure induces premature senescence in hepatic stellate cells and suggests that the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors from the senescent cells promote hepatic carcinogenesis.

Background: Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), particularly M2-polarized TAMs, are significant contributors to tumor progression, immune evasion, and therapy resistance in gastric cancer (GC). Despite efforts to target TAM recruitment or depletion, clinical efficacy remains limited. Consequently, the identification of targets that specifically inhibit or reprogram M2-polarized TAMs presents a promising therapeutic strategy.

Background/aim: The incidence and characteristics of pediatric thrombotic events have become increasingly recognized, due to the enhanced utilization of advanced diagnostic techniques. Pediatric thrombosis remains less frequent than in adults, often manifesting in those with underlying congenital or acquired risk factors. This study aimed to establish epidemiological data on pediatric thrombotic events in Bihor County, Romania, highlighting the challenges of diagnosis in smaller medical centers and proposing a relevant diagnostic and treatment algorithm.

Clinical Rationale For Study: We have reported that intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) of unknown cause at a young age is associated with lower prothrombin and factor VII and higher antithrombin activity, along with the formation of looser fibrin networks displaying enhanced lysability. Patients with mild-to-moderate bleeding of unknown cause have elevated levels of free plasma tissue factor pathway inhibitor alpha (fTFPIα), inhibiting the tissue factor-factor VII complex and prothrombinase.
Aim Of Study: We hypothesised that patients with an intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) of unknown cause may also exhibit higher fTFPIα.
SALL4 mediates SHP2 inhibition in myocardial fibroblasts through the DOT1L/H3K79me2 signaling pathway to promote the progression of myocardial infarction.

Clinical Laboratory, Hebei General Hospital, Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China.
Objective: To explore the influence of SALL4 in cardiac fibroblasts on the progression of myocardial infarction.
Methods: Analysis of genes specifically expressed in myocardial infarction by bioinformatics methods; The impact of SALL4 on myocardial infarction was assessed using mouse ultrasound experiments and Masson staining; The effect of SALL4 on the expression levels of collagen-I and collagen-III in myocardial tissue was examined by immunohistochemical staining; The migration ability of cardiac fibroblasts was evaluated using a Transwell assay; The proliferative ability of cardiac fibroblasts was tested using a CCK-8 assay; The relative fluorescence intensity of α-SMA and CTGF in cardiac fibroblasts were checked through immunofluorescence staining experiment; The expression of SALL4, DOT1L, H3K79me2, P53, SHP2, YAP, nucleus-YAP, collagen-I, α-SMA, CTGF, and PAI-1 in myocardial tissues or cardiac fibroblasts was detected using western blot analysis.
Results: SALL4-specific high expression in myocardial infarction; SALL4 intensified the alterations in the heart structure of mice with myocardial infarction and worsened the fibrosis of myocardial infarction; SALL4 also promoted the expression of SALL4, DOT1L, H3K79me2, P53, SHP2, YAP, nucleus-YAP, collagen-I, collagen-III, α-SMA, CTGF, and PAI-1 in myocardial infarction tissues and cardiac fibroblasts; Subsequently, SALL4 could enhance the immunofluorescence intensity of α-SMA and CTGF; Moreover, SALL4 could promote the proliferation and migration of cardiac fibroblasts.
