AI Article Synopsis

  • Apolipoproteins (APOs) are important parts of substances in our blood that help move fats and cholesterol around our body.
  • Some studies suggest that problems with APOs might be linked to different types of cancer, but we still don't know exactly how they contribute to cancer development.
  • This review will look at how APOs could be connected to common cancers like breast and lung cancer, and discuss how these connections could help in treating or preventing cancer in the future.

Article Abstract

Apolipoproteins (APOs) are vital structural components of plasma lipoproteins that are involved in lipid metabolism and transport. Recent studies have reported an association between apolipoprotein dysregulation and the onset of a variety of human cancers; however, the role of certain APOs in cancer development remains unknown. Based on recent work, we hypothesize that APOs might be involved in the onset of cancer, with a focus on the most common cancers, including breast, lung, gynecological, colorectal, thyroid, gastric, pancreatic, hepatic, and prostate cancers. This review will focus on the evidence supporting this hypothesis, the mechanisms linking APOs to the onset of cancer, and the potential clinical relevance of its various inhibitors.

We report a case of Acanthamoeba infection in an HCT recipient with steroid-refractory GVHD. We highlight the multiple challenges that free-living ameba infections present to the clinician, the clinical laboratory, transplant infectious disease for review, hospital epidemiology if nosocomial transmission is considered, and public health officials, as exposure source identification can be a significant challenge. Transplant physicians should include Acanthamoeba infections in their differential diagnosis of a patient with skin, sinus, lung, and/or brain involvement.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death and the most common cancer among women worldwide. It is crucial to identify potentially modifiable risk factors to intervene and prevent breast cancer effectively. Sleep factors have emerged as a potentially novel risk factor for female breast cancer.

Background: Identifying patients with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is challenging. This is particularly true amongst immunocompromised hosts, in whom the diagnostic accuracy of available tests is limited. The authors evaluated the impact of routine pretransplant review by a transplant infectious diseases (TID) physician on LTBI screening in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (alloHSCT) recipients.

Protein hydrolysis targeted chimeras (PROTACs) represent a different therapeutic approach, particularly relevant for overcoming challenges associated with traditional small molecule inhibitors. These challenges include targeting difficult proteins that are often deemed "undruggable" and addressing issues of acquired resistance. PROTACs employ the body's own E3 ubiquitin ligases to induce the degradation of specific proteins of interest (POIs) through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.
