Objective: To examine the correlation between p65 expression and the metastasis and prognosis in tongue carcinoma.

Methods: The immunohistochemical expression of p65 was examined in 50 cases of tongue carcinoma, and the clinical and histopathologic records were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: Overexpression of p65 in cytoplasma and nucleus was found in 64% cases of tongue carcinoma. There was significant difference of p65 expression among different TNM stages, and the higher expression rate of p65 was found in higher stages. Overexpression of p65 was also related to lymph node metastasis. Significantly greater increase in expression levels of p65 was found in the metastatic cases (n = 22) compared to the nonmetastatic cases (n = 10). However, there was no significant difference of p65 expression among different histopathologic grading. The 5-year survival rate of p65 positive and negative group was 59.3% and 88.9% respectively, and there was significant difference in Kaplan-Meier survival curve (chi2 = 5.6, P < 0.05).

Conclusion: The results suggest that the expression of p65 was important to predict the metastasis and prognosis in tongue carcinoma.

Fas-associated protein with Death Domain (FADD) is a crucial signaling component of apoptosis and a vital immunomodulator on inflammatory signaling pathways. However, information on FADD-mediated apoptosis and immune regulation is limited in teleost. We herein cloned a FADD homolog, AjFADD, from Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica).

The protein interactome of p65/RELA, the most active subunit of the transcription factor (TF) NF-κB, has not been previously determined in living cells. Using p65-miniTurbo fusion proteins and biotin tagging, we identify >350 RELA interactors from untreated and IL-1α-stimulated cells, including many TFs (47% of all interactors) and >50 epigenetic regulators belonging to different classes of chromatin remodeling complexes. A comparison with the interactomes of two point mutants of p65 reveals that the interactions primarily require intact dimerization rather than DNA-binding properties.

Objective: Interleukin-17 E (IL-17E) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that participates in the inflammatory response and tumorigenesis. However, the function of IL-17E in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains largely unknown.

Methods: The clinical value of IL-17E was determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 75 cases of NSCLC tissues.

Obesity is a contributing factor that increases the likelihood of developing chronic kidney disease. In recent years, studies have found that light pollution worldwide promoted obesity, which was known to be a consequence of circadian rhythm disruption. Nevertheless, the impact of light pollution on kidney disease associated with obesity remains mostly unknown, and potential processes have been minimally investigated.

Objective: In China, Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) have been widely used in the treatment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA), showing great therapeutic effects in clinical practice. However, due to the great heterogeneity of PsA and the diversity of CHM combination patterns, there is little high-level evidence-based medical research on the treatment of PsA with CHMs. This study aims to explore the beneficial effects of CHMs on the immune inflammation in PsA and its specific mechanism.
