Lymphocyte variant hypereosinophilic syndrome (LV-HES) is a rare cause of eosinophilia that is due to eosinophilipoietic cytokine production by an immunophenotypically abnormal T-cell clone. The molecular pathogenesis of this disorder is largely unknown and only 1 case of LV-HES with a pathogenic STAT3 mutation has been described thus far. Here we report 2 cases of LV-HES with STAT3 SH2 domain mutations. These cases further support the model that activation of STAT3 signaling through STAT3 SH2 domain mutations is a recurrent event in LV-HES.

SH2 (Src Homology 2) domains play a crucial role in phosphotyrosine-mediated signaling and have emerged as promising drug targets, particularly in cancer therapy. STAT3 (Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3), which contains an SH2 domain, plays a pivotal role in cancer progression and immune evasion because it facilitates the dimerization of STAT3, which is essential for their activation and subsequent nuclear translocation. SH2 domain-mediated STAT3 inhibition disrupts this binding, reduces phosphorylation of STAT3, and impairs dimerization.

Objective: This study aims to explore the role of SH2D3A in cervical cancer, as well as its potential interaction with human papillomavirus (HPV) E7 and microRNA (miRNA).
Methods: Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry were used to compare the expressions of SH2D3A in tissues. To assess the effects of SH2D3A on cervical cancer cell phenotypes, SH2D3A was knocked down in SiHa and HeLa cells, followed by cell proliferation (Cell Counting Kit-8 assay), apoptosis (flow cytometry), and invasion (Transwell assay) analyses.

Article Synopsis
- Salt sensitivity of blood pressure (SSBP) is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, influenced by sodium intake and is associated with changes in antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and the JAK2 signaling pathway.
- The study utilized various methods, including transcriptomic analyses, mouse models, and immunophenotyping, to investigate the effects of high salt on blood pressure and the underlying mechanisms involving JAK2, STAT3, and SMAD3.
- Results showed that high salt increases the expression of genes in the JAK/STAT/SMAD pathway in human monocytes, and the knockout of JAK2 in APCs significantly reduced salt-induced hypertension in mice, indicating a crucial role of this pathway in S
