CD80 and CD86 are closely linked genes on chromosome 3 that code for glycoproteins of the immunoglobulin superfamily, expressed on the surface of antigen-presenting cells. These costimulatory molecules play essential roles for stimulation and inhibition of T cells through binding to CD28 and CTLA-4 receptors. In this study, CD80 promoter and CD86 exon 8 polymorphisms were analyzed to investigate the genetic diversity and microevolution of the 2 genes. We genotyped 1,124 individuals, including Brazilians of predominantly European, mixed African and European, and Japanese ancestry, 5 Amerindian populations, and an African sample. All variants were observed in Africans, which suggests their origin in Africa before the human migrations out of that continent. Five new CD80 promoter alleles were identified and confirmed by cloning and sequencing, and promoter 2 is most likely the ancestral allele. Nucleotide -79 is monomorphic in 4 Amerindian populations, where the presence of the -79 G allele is probably the result of gene flow from non-Amerindians.

Objectives: This study aims to elucidate the role of cAMP responsive element binding protein 3 like 4 (CREB3L4) in the pathogenesis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and to provide new insights and approaches for its effective treatment. An analysis was conducted on the expression and prognostic implications of CREB3L4 in LUAD.
Methods: Potential downstream target genes regulated by CREB3L4 were identified through chromatin immunoprecipitation assay sequencing and mRNA sequencing analyses, and the regulatory relationship, mechanism, and prognostic significance of the identified target gene in LUAD were subsequently confirmed.

Article Synopsis
- Autoimmune diseases arise from the immune system losing tolerance, complicating treatment due to complex mechanisms involved in T/B cell activation.
- Researchers analyzed gene polymorphisms in co-stimulatory molecules on antigen-presenting cells from 60 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and 60 controls.
- Specific genetic variants in the CD80 and PDL1 genes were linked to SLE, suggesting that these polymorphisms may influence gene activity and play a role in the disease's development.

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) was identified as a novel diagnostic biomarker in gastric cancer (GC). However, the functions of lncRNAs in immuno-microenvironments have not been comprehensively explored. In this study, we explored a critical lncRNA, LOC339059, that can predict the clinical prognosis in GC related to the modulation of PD-L1 and determined its influence upon macrophage polarization via the IL-6/STAT3 pathway.
