A mouse fibroblast cell-constructed by genetic engineering--expresses glycosylated human interferon-beta constitutively. The cells were cultivated on microcarriers in special bioreactors. Under these conditions they produce a maximum yield of 6 000 units interferon-beta/ml/day at cell densities of about 2,2 X 10(6) cells/ml. The production stage of interferon-beta is longer than one month.

Inhibition of RIPK1-driven necroptosis ameliorates inflammatory hyperalgesia caused by lipopolysaccharide: involvement of TLR-, NLRP3-, and caspase-11-mediated signaling pathways.
Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand)
January 2025
Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Pharmacy, Mersin University, Mersin, Türkiye.
Article Synopsis
- Recent research indicates that blocking the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL necrosome can help reduce inflammatory pain linked to conditions like demyelination in the central nervous system.
- This study tests necrostatin-1s (Nec-1s), a specific RIPK1 inhibitor, on LPS-induced inflammatory pain in male mice, assessing pain sensitivity through hot plate tests and examining related protein changes.
- Results show that Nec-1s not only prevents LPS-induced pain relief but also reverses the activation of key proteins and signals involved in inflammation and demyelination, suggesting that RIPK1 inhibitors could be a promising treatment for managing inflammatory pain.
Atropine plus omeprazole for acute gastritis: Efficacy and safety analysis.
Pak J Pharm Sci
January 2025
Jian'ou Municipal Hospital, Nanping, Fujian, China.
Article Synopsis
- The article evaluates the effectiveness and safety of a combination treatment of atropine (ATR) and omeprazole (OME) for acute gastritis (AG) in comparison to anisodamine (ADM) with OME.
- The study involved 95 patients, with the ATR+OME group showing a higher success rate, fewer side effects, and quicker symptom relief than the ADM+OME group.
- Results indicated that the ATR+OME treatment significantly reduced inflammatory markers and gastrointestinal hormone levels, suggesting its strong efficacy and safety for managing AG, making it suitable for wider clinical use.
The role of mitophagy-related genes in prognosis and immunotherapy of cutaneous melanoma: a comprehensive analysis based on single-cell RNA sequencing and machine learning.

Department of Dermatology, Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital, Xi'an, 710068, China.
Mitophagy, the selective degradation of mitochondria by autophagy, plays a crucial role in cancer progression and therapy response. This study aims to elucidate the role of mitophagy-related genes (MRGs) in cutaneous melanoma (CM) through single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and machine learning approaches, ultimately developing a predictive model for patient prognosis. The scRNA-seq data, bulk transcriptomic data, and clinical data of CM were obtained from publicly available databases.

Background: Dermatomyositis is a chronic autoimmune disease with distinctive cutaneous eruptions and muscle weakness, and the pathophysiology is characterised by type I interferon (IFN) dysregulation. This study aims to assess the efficacy, safety, and target engagement of dazukibart, a potent, selective, humanised IgG1 neutralising monoclonal antibody directed against IFNβ, in adults with moderate-to-severe dermatomyositis.
Methods: This multicentre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 2 trial was conducted at 25 university-based hospitals and outpatient sites in Germany, Hungary, Poland, Spain, and the USA.
Laminaran potentiates cGAS-STING signaling to enhance antiviral responses.

Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway, an essential element in the innate antiviral immune responses, has emerged as a key component of innate immune system to modulate type I IFNs production and response by recognizing both exogenous and endogenous DNA. Although some cGAS-STING signaling small molecule agonists have been developed, there are few natural polysaccharides reported to activate cGAS-STING signaling for the treatment of infectious diseases. Here, we reported that Laminaran, a low molecular weight β-glucan storage polysaccharide present in brown algae, potentiates cGAS-STING signaling to promote type I IFNs production and antiviral response.
