Accumulating evidence suggests that C-type lectin-like receptor-2 (CLEC-2) plays an important role in atherothrombosis. In this case-control study, we investigated the association between CLEC-2 and incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD). A total of 216 patients, including 14 cases of stable angina pectoris (SAP, non-ACS) and 202 cases of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and 89 non-CAD control subjects were enrolled. Plasma levels of soluble CLEC-2 (sCLEC-2) were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Compared with the control group (65.69 (55.36-143.22) pg/mL), the plasma levels of sCLEC-2 were significantly increased in patients with CAD (133.67 (88.76-220.09) pg/mL) and ACS (134.16 (88.88-225.81) pg/mL). The multivariate adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence interval) of CAD reached 2.01 (1.52-2.66) (P < 0.001) for each 1-quartile increase in sCLEC-2. Restricted cubic splines showed a positive dose-response association between sCLEC2 and CAD incidence (P < 0.001). The addition of sCLEC-2 to conventional risk factors improved the C statistic (0.821 vs. 0.761, P = 0.004) and reclassification ability (net reclassification improvement: 57.45%, P < 0.001; integrated discrimination improvement: 8.27%, P < 0.001) for CAD. In conclusion, high plasma sCLEC-2 is independently associated with CAD risk, and the prognostic value of sCLEC-2 may be evaluated in future prospective studies.

Inflammation-induced thrombosis is a common consequence of bacterial infections, such as those caused by Salmonella Typhimurium (STm). The presentation of multi-organ thrombosis post-infection that develops and resolves with organ-specific kinetics raises significant challenges for its therapeutic control. Here, we identify specific inflammatory events driving thrombosis in the spleens and livers of STm-infected mice.

Cancer-associated aberrant glycosylation can be detected by the macrophage galactose-type C-type lectin (MGL) receptor; however, whether this interaction enhances or deadens cancer development along with the associated immune response has not been well established. To determine the role of mouse MGL1 in colitis-associated colon cancer (CAC), azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced tumor development was compared between Mgl1 knockout (Mgl1) mice and their wild-type (WT) littermates. At 75 days post-CAC induction, colon tumor tissue contained more highly glycosylated proteins, representing potential ligands for the mMGL1 receptor, than did healthy colon tissue.

The five-paced viper (Deinagkistrodon acutus) is a prevalent venomous snake in China. Its venom comprises metalloproteinases, phospholipase A2, C-type lectin-like proteins, and serine proteases, which can induce acute reactions such as tissue inflammation, edema, necrosis, hemorrhage, coagulopathy, and even multiple organ failure. This report details a case involving a child in a rural area of China who was accidentally bitten by Deinagkistrodon acutus while playing outdoors and subsequently died despite treatment.

Background: Human C-type lectin-like molecule 1 (CLL-1) represents a promising therapeutic target for Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells therapy in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of donor-derived CLL-1 CAR-T cells in AML patients who experienced relapsed post-transplantation.
Methods: 14 AML patients who experienced relapse following allogeneic HSCT were enrolled in our clinical trial.
