The metabolic changes and dysfunction in CD8 + T cells may be involved in tumor progression and susceptibility to virus infection in type 2 diabetes (T2D). In C57BL/6JJcl mice fed with high fat-high sucrose chow (HFS), multifunctionality of CD8 + splenic and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) was impaired and associated with enhanced tumor growth, which were inhibited by metformin. In CD8 + splenic T cells from the HFS mice, glycolysis/basal respiration ratio was significantly reduced and reversed by metformin. In the patients with T2D (DM), multifunctionality of circulating CD8 + PD-1 + T cells stimulated with PMA/ionomycin as well as with HLA-A*24:02 CMV peptide was dampened, while metformin recovered multifunctionality. Both glycolysis and basal respiration were reduced in DM, and glycolysis was increased by metformin. The disturbance of the link between metabolism and immune function in CD8 + PD-1 + T cells in T2D was proved by recovery of antigen-specific and non-specific cytokine production via metformin-mediated increase in glycolytic activity.

Background: Glucose is a main source of energy for tumor cells. Thus, a low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) is thought to make a significant contribution to cancer prevention. In addition, LCD and HECT domain E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 4 (HECTD4) gene may be related to insulin resistance.

Background: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been proposed as an inflammatory marker that might be associated with coronary atherosclerosis, although most of the current data is restricted to the acute setting. Additionally, the association of NLR with extracoronary atherosclerosis and stable disease remains unclear.

Objective: To analyze the association between NLR and abdominal aortic atherosclerosis (AAAt).

Background: This study aimed to study the effect and underlying molecular mechanisms of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs767649 during the pathogenesis of intracranial aneurysm (IA) rupture.

Method: Real-time PCR and Western blot analysis were performed to detect the differentiated expression of miR-155 and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) among different sample groups. Computational analysis and luciferase assay were conducted to study the effect of SNP rs767649 on the expression of miR-155 as well as the regulatory relationship between miR-155 and MMP-2.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the association of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) by focusing on a specific gene, TRIM26, and its genetic variant, rs117565607_A.
  • Researchers conducted targeted sequencing in 40 NPC patients and replicated findings in over 1,000 cases, discovering that the SNP showed a strong link to NPC risk and correlated with lower TRIM26 expression in cancerous tissues.
  • The research also found that the transcription factor Yin Yang 1 (YY1) interacts differently with the alleles of rs117565607, suggesting that TRIM26's downregulation is connected to a reduced immune response in NPC patients.
