Abstract
Integrin β6 (ITGB6), a member of the integrin family of proteins, is only present in epithelial tissues and frequently associates with integrin subunit αv to form transmembrane heterodimers named integrin αvβ6. Importantly, ITGB6 determines αvβ6 expression and availability. In addition to being engaged in organ fibrosis, ITGB6 is also directly linked to the emergence of cancer, periodontitis, and several potential genetic diseases. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the molecular-biological mechanism of ITGB6, which could provide novel insights for future clinical diagnosis and therapy. This review introduces the structure, distribution, and biological function of ITGB6. This review also expounds on ITGB6-related diseases, detailing the known biological effects of ITGB6.

Yang J, Huang MMC, Liang MMJW, Lei MMYC. The diagnostic performance of serum αvβ6 autoantibodies for ulcerative colitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Clin Res Hepatol Gastroenterol 2024; 48:102317. [PMID: 38499246 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinre.2024.102317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2023] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/09/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Currently, there is no single golden standard for diagnosing ulcerative colitis (UC). Now serum αvβ6 autoantibodies have shown promise as a diagnostic tool for UC. Here the aim was to determine the diagnostic performance of serum αvβ6 autoantibodies for UC. METHODS PubMed, the Cochrane Library, the Embase, and the Web of Science were searched comprehensively. STATA software was utilized to analyze the relevant data. RESULTS 9 studies from 6 articles with 1827 subjects were eligible. The summary sensitivity and specificity of serum αvβ6 autoantibodies to diagnose UC were 0.82 (95 % confidence interval (CI): 0.65-0.92) and 0.94 (95 % CI: 0.90-0.97) with an area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.96 (95 % CI: 0.94-0.97). Subgroup analysis was conducted owning to substantial heterogeneity between studies (I2 = 97 % and P < 0.001). The aggregate sensitivity and specificity to diagnose UC in adults were 0.75 (95 % CI: 0.61-0.86) and 0.95 (95 % CI: 0.90-0.97), and when using a threshold of mean control+3SD, 0.80 (95 % CI: 0.60-0.91) and 0.96 (95 % CI: 0.90-0.99), respectively. Additionally, to differentiate UC from healthy participants, non-inflammatory bowel disease, and Crohn's disease, the overall specificity was 0.96, 0.88, and 0.80, respectively. CONCLUSIONS serum αvβ6 autoantibodies, as a non-invasive tool, demonstrated good diagnostic accuracy for UC. However, their application may be limited in some immune-related disorders, and further studies are needed for validation.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen presenting cells that link innate and adaptive immunity. DCs have been historically considered as the most effective and potent cell population to capture, process and present antigens to activate naïve T cells and originate favorable immune responses in many diseases, such as cancer. However, in the last decades, it has been observed that DCs not only promote beneficial responses, but also drive the initiation and progression of some pathologies, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In line with those notions, different therapeutic approaches have been tested to enhance or impair the concentration and role of the different DC subsets. The blockade of inhibitory pathways to promote DCs or DC-based vaccines have been successfully assessed in cancer, whereas the targeting of DCs to inhibit their functionality has proved to be favorable in IBD. In this review, we (a) described the general role of DCs, (b) explained the DC subsets and their role in immunogenicity, (c) analyzed the role of DCs in cancer and therapeutic approaches to promote immunogenic DCs and (d) analyzed the role of DCs in IBD and therapeutic approaches to reduced DC-induced inflammation. Therefore, we aimed to highlight the "yin-yang" role of DCs to improve the understand of this type of cells in disease progression.
