A novel cell line, SACHI, was established from a pericardial effusion developed during the course of primary plasma cell leukemia (PCL). The cell line SACHI cells were the same as the infiltrating plasma cells with regard to surface markers (CD38(+)CD19(-)PCA-1(+)VLA-5(-)CD56(-)TdT(+)) and immunoglobulin gene rearrangements. Analysis of SACHI cells showed a complex hypertriploid (karyotype mode 70-73) including 7p32, 14q32, and Xq24 structural abnormalities, which were found also in the original leukemia cells. Dual-color fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed that the c-MYC gene was juxtaposed with a constant region of IgG (Cgamma) on 14q32. The split Cgamma locus was fused near the MAFB gene on chromosome 20. The SACHI cells had increased amounts of c-MYC and MAFB transcripts. Injection of SACHI cells into NOD/SCID mice generated leukemic plasmacytosis with invasion to liver, spleen, and bone marrow. This cell line may be useful for therapeutic testing as well as analyzing the molecular pathogenesis of PCL.

Lipid mediator, palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) has recently attracted attention as a potential therapeutic option for various inflammatory autoimmune diseases. It has been reported that PEA exerts an inhibitory effect on inflammation triggered by PRRs, particularly Toll-like receptors expressed on myeloid antigen-presenting cells. However, the precise role of PEA in T cell development and function has not yet been elucidated.

The viability of probiotic cells decreases during passage through the gastrointestinal tract. The process of probiotics encapsulation with sodium alginate and chitosan polymers was carried out to protect the Lactobacillus plantarum in adverse conditions. Lactobacillus plantarum was entrapped in sodium alginate/chitosan (SA/BChi) and sodium alginate/nano-chitosan (SA/NChi) wall materials.

Immune malfunction or misrecognition of healthy cells and tissue, termed autoimmune disease, is implicated in more than 80 disease conditions and multiple other secondary pathologies. While pan-immunosuppressive therapies like steroids can offer limited relief for systemic inflammation for some organs, many patients never achieve remission, and such drugs do not cross the blood-brain barrier, making them ineffective for tackling neuroinflammation. Especially in the brain, unintended activation of microglia and astrocytes is hypothesized to be directly or indirectly responsible for multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a refractory inflammatory disorder of the intestine, which is probably triggered by dysfunction of the intestinal epithelial barrier. Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) secreted by colon epithelial cells protects against intestinal inflammation by exerting anti-protease and anti-microbial activities. Daikenchuto (DKT) is one of the most commonly prescribed Japanese traditional herbal medicines for various digestive diseases.

Acne vulgaris is a complex condition involving factors that affect the pilosebaceous unit. A primary manifestation of acne pathology is the development of comedones, often linked to the overproduction of sebum resulting from 5α-dihydrotestosterone (5α-DHT) and insulin activity. Ozenoxacin is a topical quinolone that exhibits potent antibacterial activity against Cutibacterium acnes (C.
