A series of 3-phenyl-3H-quinazolin-4-ones have been synthesized and tested for affinity and activity at the chemokine CXCR3 receptor. The most potent compound (1d) has been evaluated using radioligand binding and calcium mobilization assays and is considered a useful tool for further characterization of the CXCR3 receptor.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer, with the worst prognosis among all subtypes. The impact of distinct cell subpopulations within the tumor microenvironment (TME) on TNBC patient prognosis has yet to be clarified.
Methods: Utilizing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) integrated with bulk RNA sequencing (bulk RNA-seq), we applied Cox regression models to compute hazard ratios, and cross-validated prognostic scoring using a GLMNET-based Cox model.

Anti-ETAR (endothelin A receptor) antibodies and anti-CXCR3 (C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 3) antibodies are types of non-HLA (human leukocyte antigens) antibodies that could have some influence on the course of glomerulonephritis. The authors aimed to study the influence of these antibodies' levels on the course of specific glomerulonephritis types. We evaluated the anti-ETAR and anti-CXCR3 antibody levels in the serum of patients with membranous nephropathy (n = 18), focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) (n = 25), systemic lupus erythematosus (n = 17), IgA nephropathy (n = 14), mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis (n = 6), anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (c-ANCA) vasculitis (n = 40), and perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (p-ANCA) vasculitis (n = 16), and we compared their levels with the control group (n = 22).

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and lethal interstitial lung disease (ILD) of unknown origin, characterized by limited treatment efficacy and a fibroproliferative nature. It is marked by excessive extracellular matrix deposition in the pulmonary parenchyma, leading to progressive lung volume decline and impaired gas exchange. The chemokine system, a network of proteins involved in cellular communication with diverse biological functions, plays a crucial role in various respiratory diseases.

Immune-mediated liver and biliary conditions, such as IgG4-related pancreatobiliary disease (IgG4-PB) and a subset of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC- high(h)IgG4), exhibit increased IgG4 levels in the blood. The relative expression of IgG4+ and IgG1+ B cells in the blood and the expression of complement and Fc receptors on these IgG1+ and IgG4+ B cells in IgG4-PB and PSC have not been previously described. We hypothesised that the patterns of expression of these cells and their receptors would differ, are relevant to disease pathogenesis and may represent therapeutic targets.

Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the small bowel mucosa that develops because of the altered immune response to gluten, which leads to intestinal epithelium damage and villous atrophy. However, studies on regeneration of the damaged small bowel mucosa and density of intestinal stem cells (ISC) in CD persons are still scarce. We aimed to evaluate the number of small bowel mucosa cells positive for LGR5, CD138/Syndecan-1, CD71 and CXCR3 in CD and in controls with normal bowel mucosa; to find relationship between these markers and degree of small intestinal atrophy and to compare these results with our previous data about the number of CD103 + , IDO + DCs, FOXP3 + Tregs, enterovirus (EV) density and serum zonulin level.
