The ability of five members of the cytokine-inducible SH2 protein family (CIS1-4) and JAK2 binding (JAB) protein to affect prolactin receptor (PRLR)-mediated activity was tested in human 293 embryonic kidney fibroblasts transiently transfected with rat PRLR, five concentrations of CIS/JAB Myc-tagged cDNAs and a STAT5-responsive reporter gene encoding luciferase. The protein expressions of CIS1, CIS2, CIS3 and JAB were comparable, whereas the level of CIS4 was slightly lower. PRLR-mediated luciferase activity was abolished in a dose-dependent manner in cells transfected with cDNA of CIS3 or JAB, even at concentrations below the level of protein detection by anti-Myc antibody. In contrast, CIS1, CIS2 and CIS4 had little or no effect, despite similar levels of expression. CIS1 expression in postpartum mouse mammary glands was high and changed little in the course of 3 days. CIS2 and CIS3 expression was also high and increased further, whereas JAB expression was very low. These results hint that at least in mammary gland CIS3 is likely the main physiological negative regulator of the PRLR-mediated JAK2/STAT5 pathway.

Trastuzumab has improved survival rates in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer (BC), but drug resistance leads to treatment failure. Natural killer (NK) cell-mediated antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC) represents an essential antitumor immune mechanism of trastuzumab. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been used for centuries to treat diseases because of its capacity to improve immune responses.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that most often affects the lungs but can be extrapulmonary, with TB lymphadenitis being the most common extrapulmonary site. The case presented here describes a 54-year-old female patient who was treated for pulmonary TB 20 years prior to this presentation, presented this time with fever, bilateral neck swelling, and unintentional weight loss of 20 kg over four months and histopathological findings of caseating granuloma of the biopsy taken from the right cervical lymph node. After investigation by the immunology team, a genetic test was done.

The aging immune system undergoes significant changes, leading to a state known as immunosenescence. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying immunosenescence is crucial for developing targeted interventions to enhance immune functions in older individuals. This bio-protocol review focuses on the application of quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) for the mRNA quantification of cytokine-inducible SH2-containing protein (CISH), an immune regulator overexpressed in T-cell responses from older adults.

Article Synopsis
- Salt sensitivity of blood pressure (SSBP) is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, influenced by sodium intake and is associated with changes in antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and the JAK2 signaling pathway.
- The study utilized various methods, including transcriptomic analyses, mouse models, and immunophenotyping, to investigate the effects of high salt on blood pressure and the underlying mechanisms involving JAK2, STAT3, and SMAD3.
- Results showed that high salt increases the expression of genes in the JAK/STAT/SMAD pathway in human monocytes, and the knockout of JAK2 in APCs significantly reduced salt-induced hypertension in mice, indicating a crucial role of this pathway in S

Article Synopsis
- * The SOCS family of proteins regulates this pathway's activity; irregular expression of these proteins in prostate cancer cells can trigger multiple signaling pathways that support tumor progression and therapy resistance.
- * Understanding how SOCS proteins are dysregulated in prostate cancer could help develop new treatments aimed at restoring their expression, potentially improving therapy outcomes and managing the disease effectively.
