Objective: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease. Src homology 2 domain containing protein tyrosine phosphatase (SHP2) is a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) family. To date, relationship between SHP2 and SLE pathogenesis is not elucidated.
Method: We measured plasma levels of SHP2 in 328 SLE patients, 78 RA patients, 80 SS patients and 79 healthy controls by ELISA, and discussed association of SHP2 in SLE patients, potential of plasma SHP2 as a SLE biomarker. Moreover, histological and serological changes were evaluated by flow cytometry, HE/Masson examination, immunofluorescence test in pristane-induced lupus mice after SHP2 inhibitor injection to reveal role of SHP2 in lupus development.
Results: Results indicated that SHP2 plasma levels were upregulated in SLE patients and correlated with some clinical, laboratory characteristics such as proteinuria, pyuria, and may be a potential biomarker for SLE. After SHP2 inhibitor treatment, hepatosplenomegaly and histological severity of the kidney in lupus mice were improved. SHP2 inhibitor reversed DCs, Th1, and Th17 cells differentiation and downregulated inflammatory cytokines (IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17A, IFN-γ and TNF-α) and autoantibodies (ANA, anti-dsDNA) production in pristane-lupus mice.
Conclusion: In summary, SHP2 correlated with SLE pathogenesis and promoted the development of lupus.

A panel of ferrocenyl-substituted curcumin derivatives has been designed and synthesized as protein tyrosine phosphatase proto-oncogene SHP-2 inhibitors. Antiproliferative activities of the synthesized compounds were tested against colorectal cancer cell lines (including RKO, SW480, and CT26). Compound showed excellent activities against the tested cell lines with IC values of 5.

Mechanistic understanding of the inhibitory immunoreceptor PD-1 is largely based on mouse models, but human and mouse PD-1 share only 59.6% amino acid identity. Here, we found that human PD-1 is more inhibitory than mouse PD-1, owing to stronger interactions with the ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2 and more efficient recruitment of the effector phosphatase Shp2.

Objective: To explore the influence of SALL4 in cardiac fibroblasts on the progression of myocardial infarction.
Methods: Analysis of genes specifically expressed in myocardial infarction by bioinformatics methods; The impact of SALL4 on myocardial infarction was assessed using mouse ultrasound experiments and Masson staining; The effect of SALL4 on the expression levels of collagen-I and collagen-III in myocardial tissue was examined by immunohistochemical staining; The migration ability of cardiac fibroblasts was evaluated using a Transwell assay; The proliferative ability of cardiac fibroblasts was tested using a CCK-8 assay; The relative fluorescence intensity of α-SMA and CTGF in cardiac fibroblasts were checked through immunofluorescence staining experiment; The expression of SALL4, DOT1L, H3K79me2, P53, SHP2, YAP, nucleus-YAP, collagen-I, α-SMA, CTGF, and PAI-1 in myocardial tissues or cardiac fibroblasts was detected using western blot analysis.
Results: SALL4-specific high expression in myocardial infarction; SALL4 intensified the alterations in the heart structure of mice with myocardial infarction and worsened the fibrosis of myocardial infarction; SALL4 also promoted the expression of SALL4, DOT1L, H3K79me2, P53, SHP2, YAP, nucleus-YAP, collagen-I, collagen-III, α-SMA, CTGF, and PAI-1 in myocardial infarction tissues and cardiac fibroblasts; Subsequently, SALL4 could enhance the immunofluorescence intensity of α-SMA and CTGF; Moreover, SALL4 could promote the proliferation and migration of cardiac fibroblasts.

Objectives: To investigate the mechanism of PHPS1 for promoting apoptosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma cells and the role of AMPK in regulating tumor angiogenesis under hypoxic conditions.
Methods: Human oral squamous cell carcinoma Ca9-22 cells cultured in hypoxic conditions (1% O) were inoculated subcutaneously in 16 nude mice, which were divided into control group and PHPS1 group (8) for treatment with 10% DMSO and 10% PHPS1 respectively. Tumor growth in the mice was monitored till 14 days after the treatment, and the xenografts were examined pathologically using HE staining.
