Abstract
In the past decades, the therapeutic effect of glioblastoma (GBM) has not been significantly improved. Generous evidence indicates that S100A9 has a wide range of functions in tumors, but its exploration in GBM is less. The purpose of this study is to conduct a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis and cytological experiment on S100A9 in GBM. The expression data and clinical data of GBM samples were downloaded from the public database, and comprehensive bioinformatics analysis was performed on S100A9 in GBM using R software. Wound healing assay and transwell assay were used to detect the migration activity of cells, and colony formation assay, EdU staining, and CCK-8 assay were used to detect the proliferation activity of cells. The effect of S100A9 on the migration activity of M2 macrophages was verified by the cell co-culture method. The protein expression was detected by western blotting and immunohistochemical staining. S100A9 is an independent prognostic factor in GBM patients and is related to poor prognosis. It can be used as an effective tool to predict the response of GBM patients to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). In addition, S100A9 can promote the malignant progression of GBM and the migration of M2 macrophages. On the whole, our study highlights the potential value of S100A9 in predicting prognosis and immunotherapeutic response in GBM patients. More importantly, S100A9 may promote the malignant progress of GBM by involving in some carcinogenic pathways and remodeling the tumor microenvironment (TME).

Laryngeal rare benign non-epithelial tumors and sarcomas emphasizing on chondrosarcomas: A literature review and a case presentation. Pathol Res Pract 2024; 261:155512. [PMID: 39116572 DOI: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155512] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2024] [Revised: 07/28/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024]
Abstract
Laryngeal rare tumors include benign and malignant tumors of epithelial, non-epithelial, or mesenchymal origin. Chondrosarcomas are the most common mesenchymal malignant tumors of the larynx. We performed a literature review (Pubmed/Medline; PRISMA 2020) to detect the frequency of published studies from 2021 to April 2024 regarding benign and malignant epithelial, non-epithelial, or mesenchymal rare tumors of the larynx, emphasizing laryngeal chondrosarcoma (LC) cases. Articles including cases discussed before 2021 were excluded and articles without available English translations. We included 154 articles investigating rare tumors of the larynx, the majority of them discussed non-epithelial or mesenchymal entities (75 %). Specifically, a high proportion of studies examined benign non-epithelial or mesenchymal tumors (79.5 %) or mesenchymal rare malignancies (72 %) of the larynx concerning epithelial tumors in the last three years. Sarcomas were discussed in 74 % of mesenchymal laryngeal malignancies and more than 50 % of rare laryngeal tumor studies, and LC was discussed in ∼50 % of laryngeal sarcoma studies. LC studies reported 174 cases, 21 % of them of high-grade LC (II), including a new case of LC presented here in the supraglottic (grade II), which showed intense staining for the S100 marker. Our study highlights the awareness of rare laryngeal tumors emphasizing non-epithelial benign tumors and laryngeal sarcomas, including chondrosarcomas, as pathologic entities of the larynx. Although the majority of LC included low-grade neoplasms, a markedness proportion of LC cases was evaluated as high-grade. Future research approaches, including a range of low and high-grade tumors, would reveal prognostic markers or therapeutic targets for LC and other rare laryngeal malignancies of non-epithelial or mesenchymal origin.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) heterogeneity remains a critical barrier to translating therapies. Identifying final common pathways/molecular signatures that integrate this heterogeneity informs biomarker and therapeutic-target development. We present the first large-scale murine single-cell atlas of the transcriptomic response to TBI (334,376 cells) across clinically relevant models, sex, brain region, and time as a foundational step in molecularly deconstructing TBI heterogeneity. Results were unique to cell populations, injury models, sex, brain regions, and time, highlighting the importance of cell-level resolution. We identify cell-specific targets and previously unrecognized roles for microglial and ependymal subtypes. Ependymal-4 was a hub of neuroinflammatory signaling. A distinct microglial lineage shared features with disease-associated microglia at 24 h, with persistent gene-expression changes in microglia-4 even 6 months after contusional TBI, contrasting all other cell types that mostly returned to naive levels. Regional and sexual dimorphism were noted. CEREBRI, our searchable atlas (https://shiny.crc.pitt.edu/cerebri/), identifies previously unrecognized cell subtypes/molecular targets and is a leverageable platform for future efforts in TBI and other diseases with overlapping pathophysiology.

Curr Issues Mol Biol 2024; 46:7114-7133. [PMID: 39057065 PMCID: PMC11275280 DOI: 10.3390/cimb46070424] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer is common among postmenopausal women and is frequently treated with Letrozole, which inhibits aromatase from synthesizing estrogen from androgens. Decreased estrogen slows the growth of tumors and can be an effective treatment. The increase in Letrozole resistance poses a unique problem for patients. To better understand the underlying molecular mechanism(s) of Letrozole resistance, we reanalyzed transcriptomic data by comparing individuals who responded to Letrozole therapy (responders) to those who were resistant to treatment (non-responders). We identified SOX11 and S100A9 as two significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between these patient cohorts, with "PLK1 signaling events" being the most significant signaling pathway. We also identified PRDX4 and E2F8 gene products as being the top mechanistic transcriptional markers for ER+ treatment resistance. Many of the significant DEGs that we identified play a known role in ER+ breast cancer or other types of cancer, which partially validate our results. Several of the gene products we identified are novel in the context of ER+ breast cancer. Many of the genes that we identified warrant further research to elucidate the more specific molecular mechanisms of Letrozole resistance in this patient population and could potentially be used as prognostic markers with further wet lab validation. We anticipate that these findings could contribute to improved detection and therapeutic outcomes in aromatase-resistant ER+ breast cancer patients.

Abstract
High-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) is characterized by early abdominal metastasis, leading to a dismal prognosis. In this study, we conducted single-cell RNA sequencing on 109,573 cells from 34 tumor samples of 18 HGSC patients, including both primary tumors and their metastatic sites. Our analysis revealed a distinct S100A9+ tumor cell subtype present in both primary and metastatic sites, strongly associated with poor overall survival. This subtype exhibited high expression of S100A8, S100A9, ADGRF1, CEACAM6, CST6, NDRG2, MUC4, PI3, SDC1, and C15orf48. Individual knockdown of these ten marker genes, validated through in vitro and in vivo models, significantly inhibited ovarian cancer growth and invasion. Around S100A9+ tumor cells, a population of HK2+_CAF was identified, characterized by activated glycolysis metabolism, correlating with shorter overall survival in patients. Notably, similar to CAFs, immunosuppressive tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) subtypes underwent glycolipid metabolism reprogramming via PPARgamma regulation, promoting tumor metastasis. These findings shed light on the mechanisms driving the aggressiveness of HGSC, offering crucial insights for the development of novel therapeutic targets against this formidable cancer.

Abstract
Immunosuppressive regulatory cells (IRCs) play important roles in negatively regulating immune response, and are mainly divided into myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and regulatory T cells (Tregs). Large numbers of preclinical and clinical studies have shown that inhibition or reduction of IRCs could effectively elevate antitumor immune responses. However, several studies also reported that excessive inhibition of IRCs function is one of the main reasons causing the side effects of cancer immunotherapy. Therefore, the reasonable regulation of IRCs is crucial for improving the safety and efficiency of cancer immunotherapy. In this review, we summarised the recent research advances in the cancer immunotherapy by regulating the proportion of IRCs, and discussed the roles of IRCs in regulating tumour immune evasion and drug resistance to immunotherapies. Furthermore, we also discussed how to balance the potential opportunities and challenges of using IRCs to improve the safety of cancer immunotherapies.

Abstract
Chemotherapy remains the first-line treatment for advanced esophageal cancer. However, durable benefits are achieved by only a limited subset of individuals due to the elusive chemoresistance. Here, we utilize patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) from esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma to investigate chemoresistance mechanisms in preclinical settings. We observe that activated cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are enriched in the tumor microenvironment of PDXs resistant to chemotherapy. Mechanistically, we reveal that cancer-cell-derived S100A8 triggers the intracellular RhoA-ROCK-MLC2-MRTF-A pathway by binding to the CD147 receptor of CAFs, inducing CAF polarization and leading to chemoresistance. Therapeutically, we demonstrate that blocking the S100A8-CD147 pathway can improve chemotherapy efficiency. Prognostically, we found the S100A8 levels in peripheral blood can serve as an indicator of chemotherapy responsiveness. Collectively, our study offers a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying chemoresistance in esophageal cancer and highlights the potential value of S100A8 in the clinical management of esophageal cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Intestinal inflammation is associated with several neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease (PD). Intestinal inflammation is also closely related to genetic and environmental factors. S100 calcium-binding protein A9 (S100A9) is also thought to be genetically associated with intestinal inflammation and PD risk. This study investigated the association between S100A9 gene polymorphisms and PD risk and age of disease onset. METHODS This study used a case-control method and included 242 PD patients and 242 healthy participants. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was performed. S100A9 expression in the serum of the patients and controls was detected using reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). RESULTS The CC genotype and C allele of the rs3014866 polymorphism in S100A9 had significantly higher distribution in PD patients. The recessive and dominant models demonstrated that the patients carrying the rs3014866 C allele had a significantly increased risk of developing PD as compared with patients homozygous for the TT genotype. The generalized linear model results demonstrated that rs3014866 was associated with the age of disease onset independent of environmental exposure factors (smoking and toxins). Furthermore, the S100A9 mRNA transcription level in the patients' serum was significantly higher than that of the controls. Moreover, the serum of patients with the CC genotype had higher S100A9 expression levels. CONCLUSIONS The results combined the relationship between S100A9 and PD susceptibility and age of disease onset. The findings might suggest new ideas for PD clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) represent a heterogeneous cell population distributed throughout various tissues, demonstrating remarkable adaptability to microenvironmental cues and holding immense promise for disease treatment. However, the inherent diversity within MSCs often leads to variability in therapeutic outcomes, posing challenges for clinical applications. To address this heterogeneity, purification of MSC subpopulations through marker-based isolation has emerged as a promising approach to ensure consistent therapeutic efficacy. In this review, we discussed the reported markers of MSCs, encompassing those developed through candidate marker strategies and high-throughput approaches, with the aim of explore viable strategies for addressing the heterogeneity of MSCs and illuminate prospective research directions in this field.

Overexpressing S100A9 ameliorates NK cell dysfunction in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Cancer Immunol Immunother 2024; 73:117. [PMID: 38713229 PMCID: PMC11076447 DOI: 10.1007/s00262-024-03699-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/08/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Estrogen receptor (ER) positive human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative breast cancer (ER+/HER2-BC) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are two distinct breast cancer molecular subtypes, especially in tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). The TIME of TNBC is considered to be more inflammatory than that of ER+/HER2-BC. Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that play an important role of tumor eradication in TME. However, studies focusing on the different cell states of NK cells in breast cancer subtypes are still inadequate. METHODS In this study, single-cell mRNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and bulk mRNA sequencing data from ER+/HER2-BC and TNBC were analyzed. Key regulator of NK cell suppression in ER+/HER2-BC, S100A9, was quantified by qPCR and ELISA in MCF-7, T47D, MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. The prognosis predictability of S100A9 and NK activation markers was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier analyses using TCGA-BRAC data. The phenotype changes of NK cells in ER+/HER2-BC after overexpressing S100A9 in cancer cells were evaluated by the production levels of IFN-gamma, perforin and granzyme B and cytotoxicity assay. RESULTS By analyzing scRNA-seq data, we found that multiple genes involved in cellular stress response were upregulated in ER+/HER2-BC compared with TNBC. Moreover, TLR regulation pathway was significantly enriched using differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from comparing the transcriptome data of ER+/HER2-BC and TNBC cancer cells, and NK cell infiltration high/low groups. Among the DEGs, S100A9 was identified as a key regulator. Patients with higher expression levels of S100A9 and NK cell activation markers had better overall survival. Furthermore, we proved that overexpression of S100A9 in ER+/HER2-cells could improve cocultured NK cell function. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the study we presented demonstrated that NK cells in ER+/HER2-BC were hypofunctional, and S100A9 was an important regulator of NK cell function in ER+BC. Our work contributes to elucidate the regulatory networks between cancer cells and NK cells and may provide theoretical basis for novel drug development.

Abstract
Patients diagnosed with glioblastoma (GBM) have the most aggressive tumor progression and lethal recurrence. Research on the immune microenvironment landscape of tumor and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is limited. At the single-cell level, we aim to reveal the recurrent immune microenvironment of GBM and the potential CSF biomarkers and compare tumor locations. We collected four clinical samples from two patients: malignant samples from one recurrent GBM patient and non-malignant samples from a patient with brain tumor. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to reveal the immune landscape of recurrent GBM and CSF. T cells were enriched in the malignant tumors, while Treg cells were predominately found in malignant CSF, which indicated an inhibitory microenvironment in recurrent GBM. Moreover, macrophages and neutrophils were significantly enriched in malignant CSF. This indicates that they an important role in GBM progression. S100A9, extensively expressed in malignant CSF, is a promising biomarker for GBM diagnosis and recurrence. Our study reveals GBM's recurrent immune microenvironment after chemoradiotherapy and compares malignant and non-malignant CSF samples. We provide novel targets and confirm the promise of liquid CSF biopsy for patients with GBM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, and its development comprises a multistep process from intraepithelial neoplasia (IN) to carcinoma (CA). However, the critical regulators and underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. AIM To explore the genes and infiltrating immune cells in the microenvironment that are associated with the multistage progression of ESCC to facilitate diagnosis and early intervention. METHODS A mouse model mimicking the multistage development of ESCC was established by providing warter containing 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4NQO) to C57BL/6 mice. Moreover, we established a control group without 4NQO treatment of mice. Then, transcriptome sequencing was performed for esophageal tissues from patients with different pathological statuses, including low-grade IN (LGIN), high-grade IN (HGIN), and CA, and controlled normal tissue (NOR) samples. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the LGIN, HGIN, and CA groups, and the biological functions of the DEGs were analyzed via Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses. The CIBERSORT algorithm was used to detect the pattern of immune cell infiltration. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was also conducted to validate our results. Finally, the Luminex multiplex cytokine analysis was utilized to measure the serum cytokine levels in the mice. RESULTS Compared with those in the NOR group, a total of 681541, and 840 DEGs were obtained in the LGIN, HGIN, and CA groups, respectively. Using the intersection of the three sets of DEGs, we identified 86 genes as key genes involved in the development of ESCC. Enrichment analysis revealed that these genes were enriched mainly in the keratinization, epidermal cell differentiation, and interleukin (IL)-17 signaling pathways. CIBERSORT analysis revealed that, compared with those in the NOR group, M0 and M1 macrophages in the 4NQO group showed stronger infiltration, which was validated by IHC. Serum cytokine analysis revealed that, compared with those in the NOR group, IL-1β and IL-6 were upregulated, while IL-10 was downregulated in the LGIN, HGIN, and CA groups. Moreover, the expression of the representative key genes, such as S100a8 and Krt6b, was verified in external human samples, and the results of immunohistochemical staining were consistent with the findings in mice. CONCLUSION We identified a set of key genes represented by S100a8 and Krt6b and investigated their potential biological functions. In addition, we found that macrophage infiltration and abnormal alterations in the levels of inflammation-associated cytokines, such as IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10, in the peripheral blood may be closely associated with the development of ESCC.

Abstract
S100A8 and S100A9 belong to the calcium-binding, damage associated molecular pattern (DAMP) proteins shown to aggravate the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) through their interaction with the TLR4, RAGE and CD36 receptors. S100A8 and S100A9 proteins tend to exist in monomeric, homo and heterodimeric forms, which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of RA, via interacting with Pattern Recognition receptors (PRRs). The study aims to assess the influence of changes in the structure and biological assembly of S100A8 and S100A9 proteins as well as their interaction with significant receptors in RA through computational methods and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis. Molecular docking analysis revealed that the S100A9 homodimer and S100A8/A9 heterodimer showed higher binding affinity towards the target receptors. Most S100 proteins showed good binding affinity towards TLR4 compared to other receptors. Based on the 50 ns MD simulations, TLR4, RAGE, and CD36 formed stable complexes with the monomeric and dimeric forms of S100A8 and S100A9 proteins. However, SPR analysis showed that the S100A8/A9 heterodimers formed stable complexes and exhibited high binding affinity towards the receptors. SPR data also indicated that TLR4 and its interactions with S100A8/A9 proteins may play a primary role in the pathogenesis of RA, with additional contributions from CD36 and RAGE interactions. Subsequent in vitro and in vivo investigations are warranted to corroborate the involvement of S100A8/A9 and the expression of TLR4, RAGE, and CD36 in the pathophysiology of RA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Feline pulmonary Langerhans cells histiocytosis (PLCH) is a rare disorder that results in progressive respiratory failure secondary to pulmonary parenchymal infiltration with Langerhans cells (LCs). A diagnosis of PLCH is proposed based on the clinical features and pathological findings and confirmed based on the infiltrating histiocytic cells. There are few documented cases of feline PLCH, and this case report of PLCH in an African Lion could present new information and aspects of this feline histiocytic disease. CASE PRESENTATION An African lion at Hohhot Zoo showing severe hyporexia and dyspnea with subsequent mental depression and emaciation died of exhaustion after a 35-day course of illness. Empirical treatment did not have a significant effect. An autopsy revealed that the lungs were enlarged and hardened due to infiltrative lesions, with many yellowish-white foci in all the lobes and sections. Furthermore, the kidneys were atrophied and had scattered grayish-white lesions on the surface. At the same time, congestion was widely distributed in various locations, including the liver, subcutaneous loose connective tissues, serosal surface and other tissues and organs. Histologically, proliferative histiocytic cells (PHCs) were scattered in the alveolar cavities, bronchioles and submucosa of bronchioles, with evident cellular and nuclear pleomorphism, and thus the alveolar septa were obliterated. The histopathological changes in other organs included chronic sclerosing glomerulonephritis, proliferated Kupffer cells in the liver, adrenal edema and interstitial connective tissue hyperplasia, as well as atrophy of the small intestines and spleen. Furthermore, immunohistochemical analysis results were strongly positive for CD1a, vimentin, S100 and E-cadherin in the membrane or cytoplasm of PHCs, supporting an LC phenotype. CONCLUSIONS Here, we present a rare pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis case in an African lion.

Abstract
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by immune response-dependent erythema and pustules. S100A9, a proinflammatory alarmin, has been associated with various inflammation-related diseases. However, the specific role of S100A9 in rosacea remains unexplored. Therefore, our objective was to unravel the role of S100A9 in the pathogenesis of rosacea and its underlying molecular mechanisms. In this study, we show that expression levels of S100A9 were elevated in both the lesions and serum of patients with papulopustular rosacea as well as in lesions of the LL37-induced rosacea-like mouse model. Moreover, the upregulation of S100A9 was correlated with clinical severity and levels of inflammatory cytokines. In addition, we demonstrated that S100A9 promoted the production of proinflammatory factors in HaCaT cells by activating toll-like receptor 4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathways. Notably, inhibition of S100A9 suppressed the progression of rosacea-like dermatitis and inflammatory responses in the LL37-induced rosacea-like mouse model through toll-like receptor 4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathways. In conclusion, this study illustrated that S100A9 participates in the pathogenesis of rosacea by upregulating toll-like receptor 4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathways, thereby promoting rosacea-associated skin inflammation. These results not only expand our understanding of the potential role of S100A9 in the development of rosacea but also offer greater insight toward targeted therapies.

[PMID: 38361783 PMCID: PMC10867108 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1344669] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Background S100A8, a calcium-binding protein belonging to the S100 family, is involved in immune responses and multiple tumor pathogens. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is one of the most common types of B-cell lymphoma and remains incurable in 40% of patients. However, the role of S100A8 and its regulation of the immune response in DLBCL remain unclear. Methods The differential expression of S100A8 was identified via the GEO and TCGA databases. The prognostic role of S100A8 in DLBCL was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier curve. The function enrichment of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was explored through GO, KEGG, GSEA, and PPI analysis. In our cohort, the expression of S100A8 was verified. Meanwhile, the biological function of S100A8 was applied after the inhibition of S100A8 in an in vitro experiment. The association between S100A8 and immune cell infiltration and treatment response in DLBCL was analyzed. Results S100A8 was significantly overexpressed and related to a poor prognosis in DLBCL patients. Function enrichment analysis revealed that DEGs were mainly enriched in the IL-17 signaling pathway. Our cohort also verified this point. In vitro experiments suggested that inhibition of S100A8 should promote cell apoptosis and suppress tumor growth. Single-cell RNA sequence analysis indicated that S100A8 might be associated with features of the tumor microenvironment (TME), and immune infiltration analyses discovered that S100A8 expression was involved in TME. In terms of drug screening, we predicted that many drugs were associated with preferable sensitivity. Conclusion Elevated S100A8 expression is associated with a poor prognosis and immune infiltration in DLBCL. Inhibition of S100A8 could promote cell apoptosis and suppress tumor growth. Meanwhile, S100A8 has the potential to be a promising immunotherapeutic target for patients with DLBCL.

Abstract
Immunotherapy utilizing T cells that attack tumors is a promising strategy for treatment, but immune suppressive T cell subsets, such as regulatory T cell (Treg), and immune checkpoint molecules, including programmed death-1 (PD-1), can suppress the intensity of a T cell immune reaction and thereby impair tumor clearance. Cluster of differentiation 69 (CD69), known as an early leukocyte activation marker, can be used as a measure or early marker of T cell activation. In recent years, the functions of CD69 in the regulation of Treg/Th17 (T helper cell 17) differentiation and in the tissue retention of T cells have attracted considerable interest. These functions are related to the role of CD69 in immune suppression in tumor environments (TME). In this review, we first summarized current perspectives in the biological function of CD69 and demonstrated that CD69 acts as a regulator of T cell activation, differentiation, retention, and exhaustion. Then, we discussed recent advances in understanding of CD69 deficiency and anti-CD69 antibody administration and shed light on the value of targeting on CD69 for cancer immunotherapy and prognosis prediction.

Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the prognosis and pharmacological therapy sensitivity of epithelial mesenchymal transition-related genes (EMTRGs) that obtained from the EMTome database in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using bioinformatical method. The expression status of EMTRGs were also investigated using the clinical information of HCC patients supported by TCGA database and the ICGC database to establish the TCGA cohort as the training set and the ICGC cohort as the validation set. Analyze the EMTRGs between HCC tissue and liver tissue in the TCGA cohort in the order of univariate COX regression, LASSO regression, and multivariate COX regression, and construct a risk model for EMTRGs. In addition, enrichment pathways, gene mutation status, immune infiltration, and response to drugs were also analyzed in the high-risk and low-risk groups of the TCGA cohort, and the protein expression status of EMTRGs was verified. The results showed a total of 286 differentially expressed EMTRGs in the TCGA cohort, and EZH2, S100A9, TNFRSF11B, SPINK5, and CCL21 were used for modeling. The TCGA cohort was found to have a worse outcome in the high-risk group of HCC patients, and the ICGC cohort confirmed this finding. In addition, EMTRGs risk score was shown to be an independent prognostic factor in both cohorts by univariate and multivariate COX regression. The results of GSEA analysis showed that most of the enriched pathways in the high-risk group were associated with tumor, and the pathways enriched in the low-risk group were mainly associated with metabolism. Patients in various risk groups had varying immunological conditions, and the high-risk group might benefit more from targeted treatments. To sum up, the EMTRGs risk model was developed to forecast the prognosis for HCC patients, and the model might be useful in assisting in the choice of treatment drugs for HCC patients.

Abstract
The skin, the outermost layer of the human body, is exposed to various external stimuli that cause inflammatory skin reactions. These external stimulants trigger external epithelial cell damage and the release of intracellular substances. Following cellular damage or death, intracellular molecules are released that enhance tissue inflammation. As an important substance released from damaged cells, the S100 protein is a low-molecular-weight acidic protein with two calcium-binding sites and EF-hand motif domains. S100 proteins are widely present in systemic organs and interact with other proteins. Recent studies revealed the involvement of S100 in cutaneous inflammatory disorders, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis. This review provides detailed information on the interactions among various S100 proteins in inflammatory diseases.

[PMID: 37716978 PMCID: PMC10504796 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-023-04494-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 09/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive malignancy. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are pathogen-trapping structures in the tumor microenvironment that affect DLBCL progression. However, the predictive function of NET-related genes (NRGs) in DLBCL has received little attention. This study aimed to investigate the interaction between NRGs and the prognosis of DLBCL as well as their possible association with the immunological microenvironment. METHODS The gene expression and clinical data of patients with DLBCL were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. We identified 148 NRGs through the manual collection of literature. GSE10846 (n = 400, GPL570) was used as the training dataset and divided into training and testing sets in a 7:3 ratio. Univariate Cox regression analysis was used to identify overall survival (OS)-related NETs, and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the NRGs. Kaplan-Meier plots were used to visualize survival functions. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the prognostic predictive ability of NRG-based features. A nomogram containing the clinical information and prognostic scores of the patients was constructed using multivariate logistic regression and Cox proportional risk regression models. RESULTS We identified 36 NRGs that significantly affected patient overall survival (OS). Eight NRGs (PARVB, LYZ, PPARGC1A, HIF1A, SPP1, CDH1, S100A9, and CXCL2) were found to have excellent predictive potential for patient survival. For the 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates, the obtained areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve values were 0.8, 0.82, and 0.79, respectively. In the training set, patients in the high NRG risk group presented a poorer prognosis (p < 0.0001), which was validated using two external datasets (GSE11318 and GSE34171). The calibration curves of the nomogram showed that it had excellent predictive ability. Moreover, in vitro quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) results showed that the mRNA expression levels of CXCL2, LYZ, and PARVB were significantly higher in the DLBCL group. CONCLUSIONS We developed a genetic risk model based on NRGs to predict the prognosis of patients with DLBCL, which may assist in the selection of treatment drugs for these patients.
