The A disintegrin and metalloprotease (ADAM) family is involved in many vital cellular events, from proliferation to migration, and accumulated evidence suggests its increased expression in malignant tumors. In this study, we investigated ADAM17 expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its relationship with clinicopathological factors and survival. Immunohistochemical staining of ADAM expression was performed in 108 patients with NSCLC and in 54 control cases with no known malignant diagnosis. Association between ADAM17 expression, clinicopathological factors, and survival were analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. ADAM17 was lowly expressed in 89 (82.4%) and highly expressed in 19 (17.6%) of the patients with NSCLC. In univariate analysis, high ADAM17 expression, lymphovascular invasion, stage, and treatment response significantly affected progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis also showed that high ADAM17 expression, lymphovascular invasion, stage, and treatment response were important prognostic factors for PFS and OS (p < 0.05). Our study revealed that high ADAM17 expression significantly associated with OS and PFS in patients with NSCLC. ADAM17 may potentially be the area of a new targeted treatment strategy in NSCLC. Thus, routine evaluation of ADAM17 expression in patients with NSCLC may be a future consideration.

In clinical mastitis of dairy cows, the abnormal accumulation of apoptotic cells (ACs) and subsequent secondary necrosis and inflammation pose significant concerns, with macrophage-mediated efferocytosis, crucial for ACs clearance, remaining unexplored in this context. In nonruminants, MER proto-oncogene tyrosine kinase (MERTK) receptors are essential for efferocytosis and A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) is thought to play a role in regulating MERTK integrity. This study aimed to delineate the in situ role of efferocytosis in clinical mastitis, with a particular focus on the interaction between MERTK and ADAM17 in bovine macrophages.

Background: The relationship between tumour necrosis factor (TNF) levels and disease progression is well-established. However, the impact of changes in the level of TNF hydrolase (A-disintegrin and metalloenzyme 17; ADAM17) in HIV patients remains to be fully elucidated.
Methods: Between March 1 and December 31, 2017, data were collected from 64 HIV-positive individuals in Wenzhou.
Extracellular vesicles epitopes as potential biomarker candidates in patients with traumatic spinal cord injury.

Background: Extracellular vesicles (EVs), a heterogeneous group of cell-derived, membrane-enclosed vesicles bearing cell-specific epitopes, have been demonstrated to play a crucial role in neuronal-glial communication and the orchestration of neuroinflammatory processes. However, the existing evidence regarding their function as biomarkers and their role in the pathobiology of traumatic spinal cord injuries (tSCI), particularly in humans, is scarce.
Objective: The primary goal of this study was to investigate whether a distinct pattern of EV surface epitopes detected in the plasma of individuals suffering from spinal cord injury is indicative of tSCI.

Understanding cell fate regulation in the liver is necessary to advance cell therapies for hepatic disease. Liver progenitor cells (LPC) contribute to tissue regeneration after severe hepatic injury yet signals instructing progenitor cell dynamics and fate are largely unknown. The Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases, TIMP1 and TIMP3 control the sheddases ADAM10 and ADAM17, key for NOTCH activation.

Background: In this study, we investigate the impact of a multi-targeted therapeutic approach that includes camptothecin (CPT), a potent chemotherapeutic topoisomerase inhibitor; metformin (Met), a metabolic modulator with emerging anti-tumor effects; and GW280264X, an inhibitor of ADAM 10/ADAM 17 enzymes, which are associated with tumor invasion and immune response. The study aims to assess the combined effects of these agents in enhancing CD8 T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity and suppressing cancer cell growth in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) models, both in vitro and in vivo.
Methods: Cell viability was performed on the 4 T1 human TNBC cell line.
