LNK is a member of the SH2B family of adaptor proteins and is a non-redundant regulator of cytokine signalling. Cytokines are secreted intercellular messengers that bind to specific receptors on the surface of target cells to activate the Janus Kinase-Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (JAK-STAT) signalling pathway. Activation of the JAK-STAT pathway leads to proliferative and often inflammatory effects, and so the amplitude and duration of signalling are tightly controlled. LNK binds phosphotyrosine residues to signalling proteins downstream of cytokines and constrains JAK-STAT signalling. Mutations in LNK have been identified in a range of haematological and inflammatory diseases due to increased signalling following the loss of LNK function. Here, we review the regulation of JAK-STAT signalling via the adaptor protein LNK and discuss the role of LNK in haematological diseases.

TFAP2A Activates ADAM8 to Promote Lung Adenocarcinoma Angiogenesis Through the JAK/STAT Signaling Pathway.

As the most prevalent subtype of lung cancer, lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is closely associated with angiogenesis, which is fundamental to its progression. ADAM8 (A disintegrin and metalloproteinase 8) is an enzyme associated with tumor invasion, while its implications in LUAD angiogenesis are a field that awaits exploration. A thorough investigation into the impacts of ADAM8 on LUAD angiogenesis could contribute to the development of therapeutic drugs for LUAD.

Introduction: In recent years, the understanding of atopic dermatitis (AD) pathogenetic mechanisms has expanded and now it is recognized that Th2 immune axis dysregulation is pivotal to AD pathogenesis. The advent of biological drugs and small molecules have marked a revolution in the treatment of AD. Dupilumab, targeting IL-4 and IL-13, has been the first to demonstrate efficacy in treating moderate to severe AD by modulating type-2 inflammation pathways.

Diffuse-type tenosynovial giant cell tumor (dTGCT) is a destructive but rare benign proliferative synovial neoplasm. Although surgery is currently the main treatment modality for dTGCT, the recurrence risk is up to 50%. Therefore, there is a great need for effective drugs against dTGCT with minor side effects.

Background: Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is a precursor to gastric cancer, a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Despite current therapeutic strategies, preventing the transition from gastritis to cancer remains a challenge. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), particularly the Yiqi-Huayu-Jiedu (YQHYJD) formula, have exhibited promising results in CAG management.

Fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS) in laying hens is a nutritional and metabolic disease involving liver enlargement, hepatic steatosis, and hepatic hemorrhage as the primary symptoms. The syndrome is prone to occur during the peak laying period of laying hens, which has resulted in significant economic losses in the laying hen breeding industry; however, the specific pathogenesis of FLHS remains unclear. Our group and previous studies have shown that bile acid levels are significantly decreased during the development of fatty liver and that targeted activation of bile acid-related signaling pathways is beneficial for preventing and treating fatty liver.
