AT7519, which inhibits multiple cyclin-dependent kinases, has been extensively investigated in various types of cancer cells. Previous studies have demonstrated the ability of this molecule to suppress the expression of the nuclear receptor retinoic acid-related orphan receptor gamma (RORγ) and several genes involved in hepatocellular carcinoma progression. In this study, we identified a distinct agonistic effect of AT7519 on RORγt, an isoform expressed by various immune cells, including T helper 17 lymphocytes. These immune cells play pivotal roles in shaping the tumor microenvironment and promoting the anticancer response of the immune system. After exposure to AT7519 during differentiation, primary human CD4 T cells presented increased expression of IL17A/F, IFNG and GZMB and decreased expression of PDCD1 and CTLA4. These findings elucidate a previously unrecognized facet of AT7519 activity and suggest the potential incorporation of this molecule into immune therapies to augment the effectiveness of diverse anticancer strategies involving anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (anti-PD-1) and anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (anti-CTLA4) regimens.

Clinical evidence increasingly suggests that traditional treatments for dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) have limited success. In this study, blood samples from 10 DUB patients and 10 healthy controls were collected for transcriptome sequencing. Then, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened and crossed with the DUB-related module genes to obtain the target genes.

A potential two-way passage of cells and substances between the brain and skull bone marrow may open for new insights into neurological disease. The arachnoid membrane was traditionally considered to restrict cells and larger molecules in CSF from entering the dura and bone marrow directly. However, new data on exchange between brain and skull bone marrow have recently emerged.

Tumors are inherently embedded in systemic physiology, which contributes metabolites, signaling molecules, and immune cells to the tumor microenvironment. As a result, any systemic change to host metabolism can impact tumor progression and response to therapy. In this review, we explore how factors that affect metabolic health, such as diet, obesity, and exercise, influence the interplay between cancer and immune cells that reside within tumors.
