The regulatory effects of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) on Ca2+ flux and phosphatidylinositol (PI) turnover in human lymphocytes were studied. cAMP did not affect the intracellular accumulation of Ca2+ induced by phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and histamine-trifluoromethyl toluidide derivative (HTMT) in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). In addition, cAMP also did not alter Ca2+ flux induced by PHA, anti-CD3, or PAF in T cells, or by anti-IgM and HTMT in non-rosetted cells. Similarly, cAMP did not inhibit IP accumulation induced by HTMT in PBL, anti-CD3 in T cells, and by anti-IgM or HTMT in non-rosetted cells. The only exception was the synthesis of IP induced by PHA in T cells that was inhibited by cAMP. Furthermore, prolonged treatment of T cells with cholera toxin inhibited Ca2+ accumulation in response to CD3. The degree of inhibition of Ca2+ and IP responses was not proportional to the levels of intracellular cAMP generated.

Background And Aims: Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) is one of the leading causes of severe liver disease with limited pharmacological treatments for alcohol-related steatohepatitis (ASH). CD44, a glycoprotein mainly expressed in immune cells, has been implicated in multiple inflammatory diseases but has never been studied in the ALD context. We therefore studied its contribution to ASH development in mice and its expression in ALD patients.

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a major drug target in immune cells. The membrane-binding pleckstrin homology and tec homology (PH-TH) domains of BTK are required for signaling. Dimerization of the PH-TH module strongly stimulates the kinase activity of BTK in vitro.

ADAR is highly expressed and correlated with poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), yet the role of its constitutive isoform ADARp110 in tumorigenesis remains elusive. We investigated the role of ADARp110 in HCC and underlying mechanisms using clinical samples, a hepatocyte-specific knock-in mouse model, and engineered cell lines. ADARp110 is overexpressed and associated with poor survival in both human and mouse HCC.

B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is the most common form of cancer diagnosed in children. While the majority of patients survive with conventional treatment, chemotherapeutic agents have adverse effects and the potential for relapse persists even after full recovery. Given their pivotal function in anti-cancer immunity, there has been a surge in research exploring the potential of natural killer (NK) cells in immunotherapy, which has emerged as a promising avenue for treating leukemia.

Background: Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a distinct subtype of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and accounts for 2% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Its typical characteristics include an aggressive course, progressive lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, systemic symptoms, anemia, hypergammaglobulinemia, and generally poor prognosis.

Methods: We describe a rare case in which the left inguinal lymph node was completely excised and biopsied one year ago.
