Background: The B-1 malignancy, CLL has been associated with a failure to undergo apoptosis and increased endogenous IL-10 production. This study was undertaken to identify IL-10 effects in the NZB murine model of CLL.

Materials And Methods: Antisense IL-10 was employed in vitro and in vivo to decrease IL-10 protein. Following treatment, cells were analyzed for alterations in cell cycle and RNA was studied for alterations in gene expression. Additional in vivo studies employed NZB mice in which the IL-10 gene was deleted.

Results: IL-10 (-/-) knockout NZB mice overwhelmingly failed to develop leukemia. In vitro antisense IL-10 treatment resulted in a G2/M block and apoptosis and in vivo treatment with antisense IL-10 increased the survival of mice. Microarray analysis indicated a significant role for IL-10 in cell cycle regulation via cdc25C up-regulation and decreased p47 redox activity.

Conclusion: In summary, IL-10 is a critical survival factor for malignant B cells via anti-apoptotic and cell cycle effects.

Mesoderm induction is a crucial step for vascular cell specification, vascular development and vasculogenesis. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying mesoderm induction remain elusive. In the present study, a chemically-defined differentiation protocol was used to induce mesoderm formation and generate functional vascular cells including smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs).

Article Synopsis
  • - This study investigates the link between neuroinflammation and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), focusing on how it impacts the effectiveness of nusinersen, a treatment for the condition.
  • - Researchers evaluated 15 SMA patients' motor functions and measured specific inflammatory biomarkers (MCP1, TNF-α, IL-10) in their cerebrospinal fluid before, during, and after 6 months of nusinersen treatment.
  • - Results showed increased MCP1 levels and decreased TNF-α over time, with IL-10 levels negatively impacting motor function scores, indicating that neuroinflammation might affect both SMA severity and treatment outcomes.

Impaired polarization of M1 to M2 macrophages has been reported in diabetic wounds. We aimed to improve this polarization by down-regulation of expression of the "Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling 3" (SOCS3) gene in macrophages. Two oligodeoxynucleotide (ASO) sequences were designed against SOC3 mRNA and were loaded to mannosylated-polyethyleneimine (Man-PEI).

Introduction: Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) improved clinical outcomes in renal and bladder cancer patients, but the response rates remain limited especially in metastatic disease. While STAT3 transcription factor is well-known master regulator of tumor immune evasion, little is known about the role of STAT3 in the resistance of renal or bladder cancers to immunotherapy.

Methods: To better understand immune alterations associated with ICB resistance, we assessed blood biomarkers in renal cancer patients classified as responders or non-responders to first line nivolumab/ipilimumab immunotherapy.

microRNA-22 (miR-22) is a key regulator of lipid and energy homeostasis and represents a promising therapeutic target for NAFLD and obesity. We have previously identified a locked nucleic acid (LNA)-modified antisense oligonucleotide compound complementary to miR-22, designated as RES-010 that mediated robust inhibition of miR-22 function in cultured cells and . In this study we investigated the immune potential of RES-010 in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).
