HDAC Inhibition Increases CXCL12 Secretion to Recruit Natural Killer Cells in Peripheral T Cell Lymphoma

[Cancer Research] Researchers found that high expression of histone deacetylase (HDAC)3 was associated with poor prognosis in peripheral T cell lymphoma. HDAC3 inhibition suppressed lymphoma growth in immunocompetent mice but not in immunodeficient mice.

LGR6 Frameshift Variant Abrogates Receptor Expression on Select Leukocyte Subsets and Associates With Viral Infections

[Blood] In neutrophils, monocytes, and natural killer cells from volunteers homozygous for this variant, investigators found a significant downregulation in the expression of leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 6 (LGR6) when compared with controls without the variant.

Fate Therapeutics Announces First Lupus Patient Treated in Phase 1 Autoimmunity Study of Off-the-shelf FT819 CAR T-cell Program

[Fate Therapeutics, Inc.] Fate Therapeutics, Inc. announced that the first patient with systemic lupus erythematosus has been treated in the Phase I autoimmunity study of FT819, the company’s off-the-shelf, CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T cell program.

Histological and Immunohistochemical Analyses of Articular Cartilage During Onset and Progression of Pre- and Early-Stage Osteoarthritis in a Rodent Model

[Scientific Reports] On postoperative day three, histological changes, including chondrocyte death, reduced matrix staining, and superficial fibrillation, were observed. Simultaneously, a compensatory increase in matrix staining was observed.

Fibroblast Expression of Transmembrane Protein Smoothened Governs Microenvironment Characteristics After Acute Kidney Injury

[Journal Of Clinical Investigation] Researchers reported that Smo-specific ablation in fibroblasts reduced tubular cell apoptosis and inflammation, enhanced perivascular mesenchymal cells activities, and preserved kidney function after acute kidney injury.

Brain Delivery of Protein Therapeutics by Cell Matrix-inspired Biomimetic Nanocarrier

[Advanced Materials] Inspired by the natural environment of active proteins, scientists used the cell matrix components hyaluronic acid and protamine to self-assemble with proteins to form a protein-loaded biomimetic core and then incorporated it into ApoE3-reconstituted high-density lipoprotein to form a protein-loaded biomimetic nanocarrier.

Targeting EMT Using Low-Dose Teniposide by Downregulating ZEB2-Driven Activation of RNA Polymerase I in Breast Cancer

[Cell Death & Disease] Researchers demonstrated Teniposide as a potent modulator of the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) program, specifically through an interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7)–N-myc and STAT interactor (NMI) mediated response.

A Prismatic View of the Epigenetic-Metabolic Regulatory Axis in Breast Cancer Therapy Resistance

[Oncogene] The authors discuss interconnected epigenetic and metabolic regulatory pathways and then integrate them into an observable cancer metabolism-therapy-resistance axis that may inform clinical intervention.

SUCNR1 Regulates Insulin Secretion and Glucose Elevates the Succinate Response in People with Prediabetes

[Journal Of Clinical Investigation] Scientists reported that the succinate receptor (SUCNR1) was expressed in β-cells and was up-regulated in hyperglycemic states in mice and humans.

Transfer Learning Reveals Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Are Associated with Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition and Inflammation in Cancer Cells in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

[Cancer Research] Researchers used a convergence approach to identify tumor cell and cancer-associated fibroblast interactions through the integration of single-cell data from human tumors with human organoid coculture experiments.

Actomyosin-II Protects Axons from Degeneration Induced by Mild Mechanical Stress

[Journal Of Cell Biology] Through pharmacological and molecular manipulations in vitro, the authors reported that actomyosin-II inactivation diminished the reversible beading process, fostered progressive Ca2+ spreading and thereby increased acute axonal degeneration in stressed axons.

Fusobacterium nucleatum Infection Modulates the Transcriptome and Epigenome of HCT116 Colorectal Cancer Cells in an Oxygen-Dependent Manner

[Communications Biology] Using a multiomic approach, researchers analyzed epigenomic alterations of H3K27ac and global transcriptomic alterations sustained within a hypoxia and normoxia conditioned colorectal cancer cell line at 24 h following initial infection with F. nucleatum.
