Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) poses a significant clinical challenge due to its aggressive nature and limited therapeutic options. Recent research underscores the pivotal role of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in shaping the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) within TNBC. This review focuses on four principal GPCRs-chemokine receptors, sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors, prostaglandin E2 receptors, and lactate receptors-that have garnered substantial attention in TNBC studies.

Innate-like splenic marginal zone (MZ) B (MZB) cells play unique roles in immunity due to their rapid responsiveness to blood-borne microbes. How MZB cells integrate cell-extrinsic and -intrinsic processes to achieve accelerated responsiveness is unclear. We found that Delta-like1 (Dll1) Notch ligands in splenic fibroblasts regulated MZB cell pool size, migration, and function.

Background: Fingolimod is a first-in-class, orally administered drug indicated for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. It acts as an immunomodulator, is classified as a "disease-modifying therapy", and its main mechanism of action is the modulation of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors. In this prospective pilot study, whole blood concentrations of fingolimod and fingolimod phosphate obtained during routine health care were measured.

Epilepsy is one of the common chronic neurological diseases, affecting more than 70 million people worldwide. The brains of people with epilepsy exhibit a pathological and persistent propensity for recurrent seizures. Epilepsy often coexists with cardiovascular disease, cognitive dysfunction, depression, etc.

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) are bioactive lysophospholipids derived from cell membranes that activate the endothelial differentiation gene family of G protein-coupled receptors. Activation of these receptors triggers multiple downstream signaling cascades through G proteins such as Gi/o, Gq/11, and G12/13. Therefore, LPA and S1P mediate several physiological processes, including cytoskeletal dynamics, neurite retraction, cell migration, cell proliferation, and intracellular ion fluxes.
