Regulation of fibronectin and collagens type I, III and VI by TNF-α, TGF-β, IL-13, and tofacitinib.
Sci Rep

Nordic Bioscience, Immunoscience, Herlev Hovedgade 205-207, Herlev, 2730, Denmark.
Understanding how inflammatory cytokines influence profibrogenic wound healing responses in fibroblasts is important for understanding the pathogenesis of fibrosis. TNF-α and IL-13 are key cytokines in Th1 and Th2 immune responses, respectively, while TGF-β1 is the principal pro-fibrotic mediator. We show that 12-day fibroblast culture with TNF-α or IL-13 induces fibrogenesis, marked by progressively increasing type III and VI collagen formation, and that TGF-β1 co-stimulation amplifies these effects.

Rheumatol Ther
January 2025
OPAL Rheumatology Ltd, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Introduction: This study sought to describe treatment patterns, persistence, and effectiveness of upadacitinib (UPA) alone and compared to other Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) or tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFis) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods: This retrospective, non-interventional study used the OPAL dataset, derived from electronic medical records. Patients initiated UPA (N = 2624), other JAKis (baricitinib and tofacitinib [N = 925]), or TNFis (adalimumab, etanercept, certolizumab, golimumab, infliximab [N = 3540]) between May 2020 and March 2023.
Successful Treatment of Methotrexate-associated Lymphoproliferative Disorder with the Pola-R-CHP Regimen.
Intern Med
January 2025
Department of Hematology & Oncology, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, Japan.
Methotrexate-associated lymphoproliferative disorder (MTX-LPD) constitutes a subset of lymphoid proliferations and lymphomas that are associated with immune deficiency and dysregulation. The clinical management of MTX-LPDs is contingent on their histopathological subtypes. Polatuzumab vedotin is a novel therapeutic approach that is particularly beneficial for selecting patients with previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL); however, DLBCL-type MTX-LPD is still treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) because of the exclusion of MTX-LPD from clinical trials.

Acta Oncol
January 2025
Institute of Clinical Medicine, UIT- The Arctic University, Tromsø, Norway; Department of Urology, University Hospital of North Norway, Tromsø, Norway.
Background And Purpose: Recommended treatment of urothelial muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by cystectomy, but there are challenges with low utilization of NAC. We aimed to evaluate the utilization of NAC, perioperative complications and oncological efficacy in a real-world setting.
Patients And Methods: All patients operated with radical cystectomy at the University Hospital of North Norway during 2011-2021 for MIBC were included.
Impact of Janus kinase inhibitors and methotrexate on interstitial lung disease in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
Front Immunol
December 2024
Department of Immunology and Rheumatology, Division of Advanced Preventive Medical Sciences, Nagasaki University Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Nagasaki, Japan.
Objectives: Little is known about how various treatments impact the progression of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Here, we compared ILD progression in RA patients treated with Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) or biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs). experiments were also performed to evaluate the potential effects of the drugs on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a key event in pulmonary fibrosis.
