Anakinra improves retention rate of targeted treatments in Erdheim-Chester disease.

Rheumatology (Oxford)

Objective: Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis that exhibits a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. The recent identification of activating mutations in the MAPK-ERK pathway in patients with ECD has led to the introduction of targeted therapies. The most commonly used targeted therapies are BRAF- and MEK-inhibitors, which are highly effective but also carry significant toxicity.

Aim: Somatostatin from pancreatic δ-cells is a paracrine regulator of insulin and glucagon secretion, but the release kinetics and whether secretion is altered in diabetes is unclear. This study aimed to improve understanding of somatostatin secretion by developing a tool for real-time detection of somatostatin release from individual pancreatic islets.

Methods: Reporter cells responding to somatostatin with cytoplasmic Ca concentration ([Ca]) changes were generated by co-expressing somatostatin receptor SSTR2, the G-protein Gα15 and a fluorescent Ca sensor in HeLa cells.

Center for Cancer Immunology is a part of Krantz Family Center for Cancer Research, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Adult human skin contains nearly twice as many T cells as the peripheral blood, which include tissue-resident memory T cells. However, the precise mechanisms maintaining tissue-resident memory T cells in the healthy skin remain unclear. Using normal human skin samples, we find that Langerhans cells (LCs) contact T cells in the epidermis of the elderly.
