Flow cytometric analysis of cluster of differentiation (CD) markers of myeloid cells has been used in conjunction with cell morphology to diagnose chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). In the present study, 16 cases of CML were studied for levels of expression of myeloid markers CD15, CD13, CD33, and CALLA, i.e., CD10 which is also expressed on mature granulocytes. In 11 (68.8%) of 16 cases, a differentiated granulocyte population was detected that showed decreased expression of both CD10 and CD13. CD10 was found to be negative in 1 (6.3%) case and showed decreased expression in 10 (62.5%) of the cases. CD13 showed decreased expression in 11 (68.8%) of the 16 cases. Of the 15 cases analyzed for CD15, 2 (13.3%) were negative and 6 (40%) showed decreased expression. Of the 11 cases which showed simultaneous diminished expression of CD10 and CD13, 8 (72.7%) also showed decreased expression of CD15. Of the antigens studied, CD33 was the only one to be consistently expressed at normal levels, i.e., 13 (81.3%) cases demonstrated normal expression. Therefore, these results point to frequently decreased expression levels of CD10, CD13, and CD15 and rarely decreased expression levels of CD33 in association with CML.

Male infertility is a common complication of diabetes. Diabetes leads to the decrease of zinc (Zn) content, which is a necessary trace element to maintain the normal structure and function of reproductive organs and spermatogenesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of metformin combined with zinc on testis and sperm in diabetic mice.

Background: Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4), a calcium-permeable non-selective cation channel, has been implicated in various cancers, including COAD. This study investigates the role of TRPV4 in colon adenocarcinoma and elucidates its potential mechanism via the ferroptosis pathway.

Emerging evidence highlights the significance of peripheral inflammation in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and suggests the gut as a viable therapeutic target. This study aimed to explore the neuroprotective effects of the probiotic formulation VSL#3 and its underlying mechanism in a PD mouse model induced by MPTP. Following MPTP administration, the striatal levels of dopamine and its metabolites, as along with the survival rate of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, were significantly reduced in PD mice.

Introduction: The transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) is a key component of the classical HLA I antigen presentation pathway. Our previous studies have demonstrated that the downregulation of TAP1 contributes to tumor progression and is associated with an increased presence of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in the tumor microenvironment. However, it remains unclear whether the elevation of MDSCs leads to immune cell exhaustion in tumors lacking TAP1.
