Abstract
The incidence of digestive malignancies has increased in recent years, including colorectal cancer (CRC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and pancreatic cancer. Advanced stages of these cancers are prone to metastasis, which seriously reduce the standard of living of patients and lead to decline in the survival rate of patients. So far there are no good specific drugs to stop this phenomenon. It is very important and urgent to find new biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Purinergic ligand-gated ion channel 7 receptor (P2X7R) is ATP-gated and nonselective ion channel receptor involved in many inflammatory processes and cancer progression. P2X7R is present in many cancer cells and promotes or inhibits cancer development through signal transduction. Studies have presented that P2X7R plays a role in the proliferation and migration of digestive system cancers, such as CRC, HCC and pancreatic cancer. Therefore, P2X7R may serve as a biomarker or therapeutic target for digestive system cancers. This paper describes the structure and function of P2X7R, and mainly reviews the research progress on the role of P2X7R in CRC, HCC and pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Introduction Modified Vaccinia Virus Ankara (MVA) is a safe vaccine vector inducing long- lasting and potent immune responses. MVA-mediated CD8+T cell responses are optimally induced, if both, direct- and cross-presentation of viral or recombinant antigens by dendritic cells are contributing. Methods To improve the adaptive immune responses, we investigated the role of the purinergic receptor P2X7 (P2RX7) in MVA-infected feeder cells as a modulator of cross-presentation by non-infected dendritic cells. The infected feeder cells serve as source of antigen and provide signals that help to attract dendritic cells for antigen take up and to license these cells for cross-presentation. Results We demonstrate that presence of an active P2RX7 in major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I (MHCI) mismatched feeder cells significantly enhanced MVA-mediated antigen cross-presentation. This was partly regulated by P2RX7-specific processes, such as the increased availability of extracellular particles as well as the altered cellular energy metabolism by mitochondria in the feeder cells. Furthermore, functional P2RX7 in feeder cells resulted in a delayed but also prolonged antigen expression after infection. Discussion We conclude that a combination of the above mentioned P2RX7-depending processes leads to significantly increased T cell activation via cross- presentation of MVA-derived antigens. To this day, P2RX7 has been mostly investigated in regards to neuroinflammatory diseases and cancer progression. However, we report for the first time the crucial role of P2RX7 for antigen- specific T cell immunity in a viral infection model.

Abstract
Obesity is a condition that is characterized by the presence of excessive adipose tissue in the body. Obesity has become one of the main health concerns worldwide since it can lead to other chronic ailments, such as type 2 diabetes or fatty liver disease, and it could be an aggravating factor in infections. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression and can play an important role in controlling crucial biological processes involved in the onset of obesity, such as lipogenesis, adipogenesis, lipid metabolism, or the regulation of cytokines and chemokines. Moreover, chemical compounds present in food or food packaging can alter miRNA expression and regulate the aforementioned biological mechanisms related to diabetes onset and progression. Furthermore, therapies, such as bariatric surgery and aerobic exercise training, can also influence the expression profile of miRNAs in obesity. Therefore, the present review provides insight into the current research on the role of miRNAs in obesity and obesity-derived ailments, intending to develop novel therapies to effectively manage these disorders.
