Published: February 2021

Our recent work has provided the first evidence that MDSCs promote chronic colonic inflammation and colitis-associated carcinogenesis. Our findings not only reveal a novel function of MDSCs in connecting inflammation to cancer, but also provide a rationale for developing effective therapeutic strategies to subvert inflammation- and tumor-induced immunosuppression.

Aneurysmal rupture in microscopic polyangiitis: a case-based review.

Clin Rheumatol

January 2025

Department of Medical Laboratory Science, Faculty of Health Sciences, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan.

Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) affects small and medium vessel, which sometimes leads to arterial aneurysms. In English database, only 15 reports refer to ruptured aneurysms in MPA. We experienced a fatal case with MPA who developed multiple visceral aneurysms, resulting in rupture of the hepatic aneurysm.

Causal role of ischemic heart disease in ovarian cancer subtypes.

Discov Oncol

January 2025

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Jiu Jiang NO.1 People's Hospital, Jiujiang, 332000, China.

Background: Ischemic heart disease (IHD) may share biological mechanisms with cancer, including ovarian cancer, through pathways such as chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. However, the relationship between IHD and ovarian cancer subtypes remains unclear. This study used Mendelian randomization (MR) to explore potential causal associations.

Role of polyamines in intestinal mucosal barrier function.

Semin Immunopathol

January 2025

Dairy Science and Technology Institute, Kyodo Milk Industry Co. Ltd, 20-1 Hirai, Hinode-Machi, Nishitama-Gun, Tokyo, 190-0182, Japan.

The intestinal epithelium is a rapidly self-renewing tissue; the rapid turnover prevents the invasion of pathogens and harmful components from the intestinal lumen, preventing inflammation and infectious diseases. Intestinal epithelial barrier function depends on the epithelial cell proliferation and junctions, as well as the state of the immune system in the lamina propria. Polyamines, particularly putrescine, spermidine, and spermine, are essential for many cell functions and play a crucial role in mammalian cellular homeostasis, such as that of cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, and maintenance, through multiple biological processes, including translation, transcription, and autophagy.

encodes three regulatory subunits of class IA phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), each associating with any of three catalytic subunits, namely p110α, p110β, or p110δ. Constitutional mutations cause diseases with a genotype-phenotype relationship not yet fully explained: heterozygous loss-of-function mutations cause SHORT syndrome, featuring insulin resistance and short stature attributed to reduced p110α function, while heterozygous activating mutations cause immunodeficiency, attributed to p110δ activation and known as APDS2. Surprisingly, APDS2 patients do not show features of p110α hyperactivation, but do commonly have SHORT syndrome-like features, suggesting p110α hypofunction.

Introduction: The liver is essential for both the body's removal of waste materials and the metabolism of nutrients, it is critical for sustaining general health. However, a number of factors, including viral infections, immune system malfunctions, cancer, alcohol intake, and drug toxicity, are contributing to the rising prevalence of liver problems. Alternative approaches to liver disease treatment are being investigated due to the potential limitations of conventional medical treatments.
