Background/aims: Osteosarcoma (OS) is a primary malignant bone tumor in humans, and is notorious mainly for its distal metastases. We have recently shown that Shikonin, an effective constituent extracted from Chinese medicinal herb, inhibits OS cell invasion through suppression of matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13). However, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown.
Methods: Here, we studied the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-induced protein 8-like 2 (TIPE2) in OS cells upon Shikonin treatment. TIPE2 levels were adapted in OS cell lines through transfection with plasmids carrying transgene or short-hairpin interference RNA (shRNA), and the effects of TIPE2 adaptation on MMP13 and cell invasiveness were evaluated by RT-qPCR, Western blot, ELISA and transwell cell migration assay, respectively. TIPE2 levels in OS specimens from patients were examined and correlated with cancer metastases and patient survival.
Results: We found that Shikonin dose-dependently decreased MMP13 levels, and increased TIPE2 levels in two OS cell lines, U2OS and SaOS-2. Overexpression of TIPE2 in U2OS significantly suppressed MMP13 levels and cell invasiveness. Depletion of TIPE2 in SaOS-2 cells significantly increased MMP13 levels and cell invasiveness. Moreover, TIPE2 levels in OS specimens were significantly decreased, compared to adjacent non-cancer bone tissue. Lower TIPE2 levels correlated with higher incidence of metastases and worse 5-year survival.
Conclusion: TIPE2 mediates the suppressive effects of Shikonin on MMP13 in osteosarcoma cells, and TIPE2 may be a novel therapeutic target for OS.

Article Synopsis
- Concanavalin A (ConA) causes significant liver damage in mice, primarily mediated by invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells, although the regulatory mechanisms involved are not fully understood.
- *Research shows that TIPE2 (a protein) is crucial for regulating iNKT cell activity; its absence leads to increased iNKT cell activation and greater susceptibility to liver injury.
- *TIPE2 acts as a negative regulator by limiting iNKT cell function via a specific signaling pathway, suggesting its potential as a target for therapies in autoimmune liver diseases.*

Background: To investigate the effect of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) guided by holographic image technology on stress response and renal injury factors in patients with complex renal calculi.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 70 patients admitted to our hospital between August 2022 and June 2023 who had complex kidney stones. The patients were divided into two groups, namely, group A and group B, based on whether they received guidance from preoperative holographic imaging technology.

Article Synopsis
- Ovarian tumor domain-containing protease 1 (OTUD1) is crucial for regulating immune responses and plays a significant role in the development of sepsis, as demonstrated in multiomics analyses of clinical and experimental models.
- The study found that increased OTUD1 expression negatively affects inflammatory responses and helps protect against sepsis-induced lung damage by inhibiting specific signaling pathways, namely MAPK and NF-κB.
- Additionally, it was revealed that OTUD1 can deubiquitinate the protein TIPE2, which also provides protective effects against sepsis-related injuries, suggesting that OTUD1 could be an important therapeutic target for treating lung injuries associated with sepsis.

Background/aim: Identification of biomarkers involved in the malignant transformation of oral leukoplakia (OL) is required for the early diagnosis and management of patients with OL. This study aimed to evaluate the functions of tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced protein 8-like 2 (TIPE2) expression in the malignant transformation of OL.
Materials And Methods: The expression levels of TIPE2 and dormant cell markers phospho-ERK and phospho-p38 in a cohort containing 103 surgical specimens from patients with OL were evaluated using immunohistochemistry.
