Article Abstract
Background: CD26, dipeptidyl peptidase IV, was discovered firstly as a membrane-associated peptidase on the surface of leukocyte. We previously demonstrated that a subpopulation of CD26+ cells were associated with the development of distant metastasis, enhanced invasiveness and chemoresistance in colorectal cancer (CRC). In order to understand the clinical impact of CD26, the expression was investigated in CRC patient's specimens. This study investigated the prognostic significance of tumour CD26 expression in patients with CRC. Examination of CD26+ cells has significant clinical impact for the prediction of distant metastasis development in colorectal cancer, and could be used as a selection criterion for further therapy.
Methods: Tumour CD26 expression levels were studied by immunohistochemistry using Formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues in 143 patients with CRC. Tumour CD26 expression levels were correlated with clinicopathological features of the CRC patients. The prognostic significance of tumour tissue CD26 expression levels was assessed by univariate and multivariate analyses.
Result: CD26 expression levels in CRC patients with distant metastasis were significantly higher than those in non-metastatic. High expression levels of CD26 were significantly associated with advanced tumour staging. Patients with a high CD26 expression level had significantly worse overall survival than those with a lower level (p<0.001).
Conclusions: The expression of CD26 was positively associated with clinicopathological correlation such as TNM staging, degree of differentiation and development of metastasis. A high CD26 expression level is a predictor of poor outcome after resection of CRC. CD26 may be a useful prognostic marker in patients with CRC.

Understanding cell fate regulation in the liver is necessary to advance cell therapies for hepatic disease. Liver progenitor cells (LPC) contribute to tissue regeneration after severe hepatic injury yet signals instructing progenitor cell dynamics and fate are largely unknown. The Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases, TIMP1 and TIMP3 control the sheddases ADAM10 and ADAM17, key for NOTCH activation.

In hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (PH), pulmonary vascular remodeling is characterized by the emergence of activated adventitial fibroblasts, leading to medial smooth muscle hyperplasia. Previous studies have suggested that CD26/dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) plays a crucial role in the pathobiological processes in lung diseases. However, its role in pulmonary fibroblasts in hypoxic PH remains unknown.

Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury is one of the main causes of neuronal damage. Neuron ferroptosis and microglia polarization are considered as critical processes during cerebral ischemia/reperfusion. Adipocyte enhancer-binding protein 1 (AEBP1) usually acts as a transcriptional repressor which is involved in various diseases.

Article Synopsis
- Macrophages play a crucial role in regulating the immune response both in normal conditions and during inflammation, and sitagliptin, a diabetes drug, has shown potential anti-inflammatory effects.
- This study investigated how sitagliptin affects macrophage polarization, finding that it enhances the M2 macrophage phenotype while reducing pro-inflammatory markers like TNF-α.
- Additionally, sitagliptin treatment impacted mitochondrial function in M2 macrophages, leading to lower energy production and reduced ability to engulf particles.
