Background: High incidence and intensity of RANTES (CC chemokine) expression were noted in advanced breast carcinoma.
Objective: To present two cases of breast carcinoma patients in whom RANTES expression was analyzed in parallel to disease progression.
Results: Although no evidence of malignancy was detected in the axillary lymph nodes of the two patients, their disease progressed. The expression of RANTES in both patients was positive at diagnosis and predicted the clinical course.
Conclusions: These results, combined with our previous findings on the correlation between RANTES expression and advanced breast carcinoma, suggest that the assessment of RANTES expression may be useful for the identification of patients with apparently poor prognosis who may benefit from aggressive treatment. The above results call for large-scale studies by numerous research groups to determine the prognostic value of RANTES expression.

Purpose: Septic cardiomyopathy (SCM) is a significant global public health concern characterized by substantial morbidity and mortality, which has not been improved for decades due to lack of early diagnosis and effective therapies. This study aimed to identify hub biomarkers in SCM and explore their potential mechanisms.
Methods: We utilized the GSE53007 and GSE207363 datasets for transcriptome analysis of normal and SCM mice.

Introduction: Copy-number (CN) loss of chromosome 9p, or parts thereof, impair immune response and confer ICT resistance by direct elimination of immune-regulatory genes on this arm, notably IFNγ genes at 9p24.1, and type-I interferon (IFN-I) genes at 9p21.3.

Hydrolysed proteins are of interest owing to their potential effects on metabolic and physiological responses, low allergenicity and high digestibility. This study aimed to evaluate the use of hydrolysed poultry byproduct meal (HPM) as a replacement for conventional poultry byproduct meal (PBM) as a protein source and to study its effects on serum cytokines, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity, serum antioxidant parameters, blood pressure, and urinary parameters in cats. The replacement of PBM with HPM was evaluated using five formulations with similar chemical compositions: control (PBM as the sole protein source) and the inclusion of 5%, 10%, 20%, and 30% HPM (on an as-fed basis).

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) shows limited response to immune checkpoint inhibitors due to its complex tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). This study explores the functions of various immune cells in the complex TIME in GC.
Methods: We assessed CD8 + T-cell infiltration of GC tissues by immunohistochemistry, and performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of tumor and normal tissues from 34 patients with GC.
DDR1 in pancreatic adenocarcinoma: unraveling the mechanisms of immune exclusion.
Scand J Gastroenterol

Department of Gastroenterology, Lanzhou University Second Hospital, Lanzhou, China.
Background: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is a deadly cancer marked by extensive collagen deposition and limited response to immunotherapy. Discoidin domain receptor1 (DDR1), part of the transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase family, is linked to inflammation regulation and immune cell infiltration. However, its role in controlling cytokines and chemokines in the microenvironment of PAAD is still unclear.
