Investigation: To study the differences immune function in normal cervix, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer tissue, and study the relationship between human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cervical local immune function.

Materials And Methods: This study determined the form, quantity, distribution, and intensity of CD4+Th cells, S-100+ dendritic cells (DCs) and CD57+NK cells in the normal cervical tissue, CIN cervical tissue, and cervical cancer by histopathological and image analyses.

Results: The immune function was differences in the progress of cancer genesis. The numbers of the CD4+ Th cells, S-100+ DCs, and CD57+NK cells increased with the progress of the disease in CIN, but when cancer occurred, immune cells decreased in local cervical tissue.

Conclusion: From lesion precancerous to infiltrating carcinoma, the form, quantity, and intensity of expression of immune cells changed, which may indicate that the cervical local immune function has changed. Furthermore, high-risk HPV infections are more active in local immune function.

Deciphering the colostral-immunity transfer: from mammary gland to neonates small intestine.

Vet Res Commun

January 2025

Laboratory of Agricultural Animal Genetics, Breeding and Reproduction of Ministry of Education, Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan, China.

Colostrum, the initial mammary secretion produced by various mammals following birth, is a conduit for maternal immunity transfer in diverse mammalian species. Concurrently, many cellular processes are occurring in the neonatal small intestine to prepare it to receive molecular signals from a superfood essential for the neonate's health and development. During the prepartum colostrum secretion, the newborn intestine undergoes transient alterations in the intestinal barrier, primarily regulating immunoglobulin absorption.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a malignant and life-threatening tumor with an extremely poor prognosis, posing a significant global health challenge. Despite the continuous emergence of novel therapeutic agents, patients exhibit substantial heterogeneity in their responses to anti-tumor drugs and overall prognosis. The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is highly activated in various tumor cells and plays a pivotal role in tumor metabolic reprogramming.

IL-33, a neutrophil extracellular trap-related gene involved in the progression of diabetic kidney disease.

Inflamm Res

January 2025

Department of Nephrology, First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University, Shanghai Changhai Hospital, Shanghai, China.

Background: Chronic inflammation is well recognized as a key factor related to renal function deterioration in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play an important role in amplifying inflammation. With respect to NET-related genes, the aim of this study was to explore the mechanism of DKD progression and therefore identify potential intervention targets.

IL-27 is structurally an immune-enhancing and pleiotropic two-chain cytokine associated with IL-12 and IL-6 families. IL-27 contains two subunits, namely IL-27p28 and EBI3. A heterodimer receptor of IL-27, composed of IL27Rα (WSX1) and IL6ST (gp130) chains, mediates the IL-27 function following the activation of STAT1 and STAT3 signaling pathways.
