Article Abstract
Objective: The SH2 domain containing inositol 5'-phosphatase (SHIP) is predominately expressed in hematopoietic cells, and is a crucial negative regulator in the development of hematopoietic cells. This paper is to evaluate the role of the SHIP gene in human leukemogenesis.
Methods: Expression of SHIP gene in bone marrow and/or peripheral blood from 32 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 9 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), as well as human hematopoietic cell lines was analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), single strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and DNA sequencing.
Results: RT-PCR showed that all samples expressed SHIP gene. Mutations of SHIP gene were detected in 7 (22%) of 32 AML patients and one (12%) of 9 ALL patients. Interestingly, two missense mutations that had been observed in a AML patient at diagnosis disappeared after complete remission (CR). In addition, in vitro Akt phosphorylation was prolonged and increased following IL-3 stimulation of this patient's cells.
Conclusion: Our data demonstrate for the first time the mutation of SHIP gene in acute leukemia and suggest a possible role of the mutation of this gene in the development of acute leukemia. SHIP may serve as a tumor suppressor by negatively regulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in hematopoietic cells.

The hull in-water cleaning (IWC) process creates chemical contaminants, including antifouling paint particle mixtures that are directly discharged into the coastal environment. Recent attention has also been paid to the international regulation of ship hull cleaning discharges in environmental media. However, few studies have investigated the adverse effects or toxic pathways on resident marine species.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is posing a significant medical challenge due to its growing prevalence, high hospitalization rates and limited response to current treatment options. Accumulating evidence suggests that a comorbidity-driven systemic pro-inflammatory state, including activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, contributes to the pathogenesis of HFpEF. This study aimed to investigate the potential cardiac protective effects of the selective NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950, in a mouse model of HFpEF.

Background: Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) activation by monosodium urate crystals (MSU) is crucial to acute gouty arthritis and subsequent spontaneous remission within 7-10 days. Activated PMNs release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) that entrap MSU crystals, forming NET-MSU aggregates. Whether NET-MSU aggregates contribute to the resolution of acute inflammation remains to be elucidated.

Background: Cell cycle progression and leukemia development are tightly regulated processes in which even a small imbalance in the expression of cell cycle regulatory molecules and microRNAs (miRNAs) can lead to an increased risk of cancer/leukemia development. Here, we focus on the study of a ubiquitous, multifunctional, and oncogenic miRNA-hsa-miR-155-5p (miR-155, MIR155HG), which is overexpressed in malignancies including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Nonetheless, the precise mechanism of how miR-155 regulates the cell cycle in leukemic cells remains the subject of extensive research.

Article Synopsis
- Sertraline, a commonly used antidepressant, has seen increased usage, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, prompting a study on its transgenerational effects using the aquatic microcrustacean Daphnia magna.
- The study found that exposure to sertraline influenced reproductive traits and molting behaviors in D. magna, with effects being inherited across three generations, including increased fecundity and body size reduction in offspring.
- Results indicated that sertraline's reproductive toxicity may be linked to serotonin dysregulation and that it triggered a self-defense reproductive response, although male offspring were not produced in the study across generations, suggesting complex interactions between the drug and population dynamics.
