Background & Aims: In the classic form of α1-antitrypsin deficiency (ATD), the misfolded α1-antitrypsin Z (ATZ) variant accumulates in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of liver cells. A gain-of-function proteotoxic mechanism is responsible for chronic liver disease in a subgroup of homozygotes. Proteostatic response pathways, including conventional endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation and autophagy, have been proposed as the mechanisms that allow cellular adaptation and presumably protection from the liver disease phenotype.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are an abundant component of the tumor microenvironment and have been shown to possess critical functions in tumor progression. Although their roles predominantly have been described as tumor-promoting, more recent findings have identified subsets of CAFs with tumor-restraining functions. Accumulating evidence underscores large heterogeneity in fibroblast subsets in which distinct subsets differentially impact the initiation, progression, and metastasis of colorectal cancer.

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States and accounts for an estimated 1 million deaths annually worldwide. The liver is the most common site of metastatic spread from colorectal cancer, significantly driving both morbidity and mortality. Although remarkable advances have been made in recent years in the management for patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases, significant challenges remain in early detection, prevention of progression and recurrence, and in the development of more effective therapeutics.

Autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), commonly affect women of childbearing age, warranting the use of immunomodulatory agents at a time where pregnancy may be desired. In utero exposure to pro-inflammatory mediators from maternal IBD, IBD-associated intestinal dysbiosis, and immunomodulatory drug use may impact neonatal immune system development during what is considered to be a critical period, with potential long-lasting impacts on susceptibility to disease. Both the innate and adaptative immune systems of the neonatal differ to that of the adult in terms of both cellular composition and sensitivity to antigenic and innate stimulation.
