Background: Metabolomics offers promise in uncovering potential biomarkers and understanding the pathophysiology of autoimmune encephalitis (AE), which is a cluster of disorders with the host immune system targeting self-antigens expressed in the central nervous system (CNS). In this research, our objective was to explore metabolic characterization in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from individuals with AE, aiming to shed light on the pathophysiology of AE.

Methods: A targeted approach was applied using an ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) system to study CSF metabolites in patients with AE (n = 18), and control subjects without neurological diseases (n = 17).

Background: Thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO) is an autoimmune inflammatory disorder of the orbital adipose tissue, primarily causing oxidative stress injury and tissue remodeling in the orbital connective tissue. Ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death driven by the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), iron metabolism disorder, and lipid peroxidation. This study aims to identify and validate the optimal feature genes (OFGs) of ferroptosis with diagnostic and therapeutic potential in TAO orbital adipose tissue through bioinformatics analysis and to assess their correlation with disease-related immune cell infiltration.

Ferroptosis is a novel form of cell death characterized by unlimited accumulation of iron-dependent lipid peroxides. It is often accompanied by disease, and the relationship between ferroptosis of immune cells and immune regulation has been attracting increasing attention. Initially, it was found in cancer research that the inhibition of regulatory T cell (Treg) ferroptosis and the promotion of CD8+ T cell ferroptosis jointly promoted the formation of an immune-tolerant environment in tumors.

Objective: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by demyelination occurring within the white matter of the central nervous system. While its pathogenesis is intricately linked with the body's immune response, the precise underlying mechanisms remain elusive. This study aims to explore potential immune-related genes associated with MS and assess the causal relationship between these genes and the risk of developing MS.

Article Synopsis
  • AKT, a key protein kinase in the PI3K signaling pathway, is crucial for normal cell functions and can contribute to diseases like cancer, inflammation, and autoimmune disorders when its regulation fails.
  • Targeting the PI3K/AKT pathway is essential to counteract these diseases, with current AKT inhibitors showing promise but facing challenges like resistance and side effects.
  • The review highlights innovative targeting strategies, such as isoform-specific approaches and selective inhibitors, alongside the search for reliable biomarkers to improve treatment efficacy and patient outcomes.
