Demyelination is one of the pathological outcomes that occur immediately following spinal cord injury. Protection of oligodendrocytes against death/apoptosis proves to be beneficial for the preservation of neurological functions. Suppressors of cytokine signaling 1 protein inhibit the harmful effects of several inflammatory cytokines on oligodendrocytes, but its roles in spinal cord injury (SCI) induced apoptosis of oligodendrocytes remain unclear. We cloned suppressors of cytokine signaling 1 cDNA from (Japanese gecko) and analyzed the protein structure revealing the conserved domains contained in other vertebrate suppressors of cytokine signaling 1 proteins. The gecko suppressors of cytokine signaling 1 protein expression were increased in the injured spinal cord following gecko tail amputation and displayed colocalization with oligodendrocytes. The enforced expression of gecko suppressors of cytokine signaling 1 by adenovirus in the Gsn3 gecko oligodendrocyte cell line demonstrated that gecko suppressors of cytokine signaling 1 significantly suppressed cell apoptosis-induced by glucose deprivation. Determination of apoptosis-related proteins revealed that gecko suppressors of cytokine signaling 1 was able to activate extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK) and serine/threonine protein kinases (Akt). The results presented a distinct protective role of gecko suppressors of cytokine signaling 1 in the regenerative model of the spinal cord, which may provide new cues for central nervous system repair in mammals.

FAT atypical cadherin 1 (), which encodes an atypical cadherin-coding protein, has a high mutation rate and is commonly regarded as a tumor suppressor gene in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Nonetheless, the potential regulatory mechanisms by which FAT1 influences the progression of HNSCC remain unresolved. In this context, we reported that FAT1 was downregulated in tumor tissues/cells compared with normal tissues/cells and that it was correlated with the clinicopathological features and prognosis of HNSCC.

Phenazine biosynthesis-like domain-containing protein (PBLD) and Cedrelone have been identified as tumor suppressors. However, their roles in virus infection remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that PBLD upregulates the type I interferon (IFN-I) response through activating NF-kappaB (NF-κB) signaling pathway to resist viral infection in cells and mice.

This study investigates the therapeutic effects of recombinant human IL-10 (rhIL-10) administered via aerosol inhalation in acute lung injury (ALI), with a particular focus on neutrophils. It explores how rhIL-10, in the presence of platelets, modulates neutrophil polarization to ameliorate acute lung injury. Initially, the ALI model established in mice demonstrated that aerosol inhalation of rhIL-10 significantly mitigated the cytokine storm in the lungs, reduced pulmonary edema, and alleviated histopathological damage to lung tissue.

Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a potent NK cell-stimulating cytokine, but the presence of immunosuppressive myeloid cells such as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) can inhibit IL 12-induced NK-cell cytotoxicity. Thus, we hypothesized that trabectedin, a myeloid cell-depleting agent, would improve the efficacy of IL-12 in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). In vitro treatment of healthy donor NK cells with trabectedin increased expression of the activation marker CD69 and mRNA expression of T BET (Tbx21), the cytotoxic ligands TRAIL (TNFSF10) and Fas ligand (FASLG) and the dendritic cell (DC)-recruiting chemokine lymphotactin (XCL1).

This study was designed to explore the action mechanism of stimulator of interferon genes (STING) on the differentiation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in the tumor microenvironment of lung cancer. Bioinformatics analysis yielded a potential pathway for STING to regulate MDSC differentiation, the interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3)/NF-κB axis. The transfection efficiency of STING overexpression plasmid and small interfering RNA against IRF3 (siIRF3) was examined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).
