In this study we estimated the expression of TLR2 and apoptosis of PMN in patients with Lyme disease. The cells were isolated from heparinized whole blood by Gradisol G gradient and incubated 18 h with rhIL-15 and LPS. Expression of TLR2 was estimated in lysates of PMN by western blot, apoptosis of PMN by immunofluorescent analysis. The results obtained revealed the higher expression of TLR2 in PMN and higher percentage of apoptosis PMN in patients with Lyme disease compared with control. We observed an effect of rhIL-15 on the increased expression of TLR2 in PMN and the increased survival of PMN isolated from patients with Lyme disease. These findings suggest that IL-15 has the ability to modulate of neutrophil response against Borrelia burgdorferi.

Background: Lung metastasis has garnered significant attention due to its prevalent occurrence. Pre-metastatic niche (PMN) establishment is a critical prerequisite for the onset of lung metastasis. Emerging evidence indicates that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play pivotal roles in the metastatic cascade to the lungs.

Background: Host-related factors highly regulate the increased circulation of neutrophils during infection. Platelet-derived Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) is established as a high-affinity ligand to LRP6. Recently, we demonstrated that DKK1 upregulates leukocyte-platelet aggregation, infiltration of neutrophils to the draining lymph node and Th2 differentiation during infection, suggesting the potential involvement of the DKK1-LRP6 signalling pathway in neutrophil migration in infectious diseases.

The successful pulmonary metastasis of malignant cancer cells depends on the survival of circulating tumor cells in a distant and hostile microenvironment. The formation of a pre-metastatic niche (PMN) creates a supportive environment for subsequent metastasis. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are increasingly acknowledged as crucial elements in the mechanisms of metastasis due to their stable structures and functions, making them promising early metastasis detection markers.

Background: Primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) is usually caused by anti-phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) autoantibodies. There are different therapeutic options according to baseline risk. Novel biomarkers are needed to optimize risk stratification and predict and monitor the response to therapy, as proteinuria responses may be delayed.
