The immunological death induction by EY-6 on the human tumor cell lines was screened. Human colon carcinoma (HCT15, HCT116), gastric carcinoma (MKN74, SNU668), and myeloma (KMS20, KMS26, KMS34) cells were died by EY-6 treatment with dose-dependent manner. CRT expression, a typical marker for the immunological death, was increased on the EY-6-treated colorectal and gastric cancer cells. Interestingly, the effects on the myeloma cell lines were complicated showing cell line dependent differential modulation. Cytokine secretion from the EY-6 treated tumor cells were dose and cell-dependent. IFN-γ and IL-12 secretion was increased in the treated cells (200% to over 1000% of non-treated control), except HCT116, SNU668 and KMS26 cells which their secretion was declined by EY-6. Data suggest the potential of EY-6 as a new type of immuno-chemotherapeutics inducing tumor-specific cell death. Further studies are planned to confirm the efficacy of EY-6 including in vivo study.

Recently, combination checkpoint therapy of cancer has been recognized as producing additive as opposed to synergistic benefit due in part to positively correlated effects. The potential for uncorrelated or negatively correlated therapies to produce true synergistic benefits has been noted. Whereas the inhibitory receptors PD-1, CTLA-4, TIM-3, LAG-3, and TIGIT have been collectively characterized as exhaustion receptors, another inhibitory receptor KLRG1 was historically characterized as a senescent receptor and received relatively little attention as a potential checkpoint inhibitor target.

The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of cryofibrinogenemia in a cohort of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) regardless of clinical manifestations, who were admitted to our hospital and determine the associations among CF positivity, disease features and ongoing therapies. This was a monocentric and retrospective study. The inclusion criteria were a diagnosis of SSc (according to the ACR/EULAR 2013 classification criteria), regular administration of i.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become an established treatment option for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the efficacy of single-agent immunotherapy as well as in combination with chemotherapy seems to be dependent on the presence of molecular abnormalities in some genes-serine/threonine kinase 11 (), Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 () and Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog () among them. The gene is a critical regulator of the cellular response to oxidative stress and electrophilic stress, thus playing a pivotal role in maintaining cellular homeostasis.

Background: transmission can occur during pregnancy if the mother contracts the infection for the first time. Treatment strategies include the use of antimicrobial medications and providing supportive care. Spiramycin is commonly used to treat toxoplasmosis in pregnant women and to hinder the disease's transmission.

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy has been extensively integrated into cancer clinical management. However, its overall response rate is limited due to the stagnating cancer-immunity cycle (CIC) caused by the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, a multi-pronged nanomedicine, defined as LCCS, was constructed by the self-assembly of lactate oxidase, catalase, chlorin e6, and sorafenib.
