Abstract
Salivary extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as key tools for non-invasive diagnostics, playing a crucial role in the early detection and monitoring of diseases. These EVs surpass whole saliva in biomarker detection due to their enhanced stability, which minimizes contamination and enzymatic degradation. The review comprehensively discusses methods for isolating, enriching, quantifying, and characterizing salivary EVs. It highlights their importance as biomarkers in oral diseases like periodontitis and oral cancer, and underscores their potential in monitoring systemic conditions. Furthermore, the review explores the therapeutic possibilities of salivary EVs, particularly in personalized medicine through engineered EVs for targeted drug delivery. The discussion also covers the current challenges and future prospects in the field, emphasizing the potential of salivary EVs in advancing clinical practice and disease management.

Abstract
Introduction Patients with anterior cruciate ligament injury are at high risk of posttraumatic osteoarthritis and their response to reconstructive surgery and rehabilitation vary. Proteins identified in the orchestration of the acute inflammatory response may be predictive of patient outcomes. Objective An unbiased, bottom-up proteomics approach was used to discover novel targets for therapeutics in relation to dysregulation in the orchestration of inflammatory pathways implicated in persistent joint inflammation subsequent to joint trauma. Methods Synovial fluid was aspirated from patients at 1 week and 4 weeks after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) concentrations were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Patients were segregated into IL-6low and IL-6high groups based on IL-6 concentrations in synovial fluid at 4-weeks postoperation and proteins in synovial fluid were analyzed using qualitative, bottom-up proteomics. Abundance ratios were calculated for IL-6high and IL-6low groups as 4 weeks postoperation:1 week postoperation. Results A total of 291 proteins were detected in synovial fluid, 34 of which were significantly (P < .05) differentially regulated between groups. Proteins associated with the classical and alternative complement cascade pathways were increased in the IL-6high compared to IL-6low group. Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 6 (IGFBP-6) was increased by nearly 60-fold in the IL-6low group. Conclusions Patients segregated by IL-6 concentration in synovial fluid at 4 weeks post-ACLR demonstrated differential regulation of multiple pathways, providing opportunities to investigate novel targets, such as IGFBP-6, and to take advantage of therapeutics already approved for clinical use in other diseases that target inflammatory pathways, including the complement system.

Abstract
Circulating metabolite levels may reflect the state of the human organism in health and disease, however, the genetic architecture of metabolites is not fully understood. We have performed a whole-genome sequencing association analysis of both common and rare variants in up to 11,840 multi-ethnic participants from five studies with up to 1666 circulating metabolites. We have discovered 1985 novel variant-metabolite associations, and validated 761 locus-metabolite associations reported previously. Seventy-nine novel variant-metabolite associations have been replicated, including three genetic loci located on the X chromosome that have demonstrated its involvement in metabolic regulation. Gene-based analysis have provided further support for seven metabolite-replicated loci pairs and their biologically plausible genes. Among those novel replicated variant-metabolite pairs, follow-up analyses have revealed that 26 metabolites have colocalized with 21 tissues, seven metabolite-disease outcome associations have been putatively causal, and 7 metabolites might be regulated by plasma protein levels. Our results have depicted the genetic contribution to circulating metabolite levels, providing additional insights into understanding human disease.

Abstract
The lung is an accomplished organ for gas exchanges and directly faces the external environment, consequently exposing its large epithelial surface. It is also the putative determinant organ for inducing potent immune responses, holding both innate and adaptive immune cells. The maintenance of lung homeostasis requires a crucial balance between inflammation and anti-inflammation factors, and perturbations of this stability are frequently associated with progressive and fatal respiratory diseases. Several data demonstrate the involvement of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system and their binding proteins (IGFBPs) in pulmonary growth, as they are specifically expressed in different lung compartments. As we will discuss extensively in the text, IGFs and IGFBPs are implicated in normal pulmonary development but also in the pathogenesis of various airway diseases and lung tumors. Among the known IGFBPs, IGFBP-6 shows an emerging role as a mediator of airway inflammation and tumor-suppressing activity in different lung tumors. In this review, we assess the current state of IGFBP-6's multiple roles in respiratory diseases, focusing on its function in the inflammation and fibrosis in respiratory tissues, together with its role in controlling different types of lung cancer.

Integrated Analysis of Multiomics Data Identified Molecular Subtypes and Oxidative Stress-Related Prognostic Biomarkers in Glioblastoma Multiforme. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:9993319.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a glioma in IV stage, which is one of the most common primary malignant brain tumors in adults. GBM has the characters of high invasiveness, high recurrence rate, and low survival rate and with a poor prognosis. GBM implicates various genetic changes and epigenetic and gene transcription disorders, which are crucial in developing GBM. With the progression and enhancement of high-throughput sequencing technologies, the acquirement and administering approaches of diverse biological omics data on distinctive levels are developing more advanced. However, the research of GBM with multiomics remains largely unknown. We identified GBM-related molecular subtypes by integrated multiomics data and exploring the connections of gene copy number variation (CNV) and methylation gene (MET) change data. The expression of CNV and MET genes was examined through cluster integration analysis. The present study confirmed three clusters (iC1, iC2, and iC3) with distinctive prognosis and molecule peculiarities. We also recognized three oxidative stress protecting molecules (OSMR, IGFBP6, and MYBPH) by contrasting gene expression, MET, and CNV in the three subtypes. OSMR, IGFBP6, and MYBPH were differentially expressed in the clusters, suggesting they might be recognized as characteristic markers for the three clusters in GBM. Through integrative investigation of genomics, epigenomics, and transcriptomics, we offer novel visions into the multilayered molecules of GBM and facilitate the accuracy remedy for GBM sufferers.

Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein (IGFBP-6) as a Novel Regulator of Inflammatory Response in Cystic Fibrosis Airway Cells. Front Mol Biosci 2022; 9:905468.

Abstract
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients are prone to contracting bacterial lung infections with opportunistic pathogens, especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Prolonged P. aeruginosa infections have been linked to chronic inflammation in the CF lung, whose hallmarks are increased levels of cytokines (i.e., TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6) and neutrophil attraction by chemokines, like IL-8. Recently, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 6 (IGFBP-6) has been shown to play a putative role in the immune system and was found at higher levels in the sera and synovial tissue of rheumatoid arthritis patients. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that IGFBP-6 has chemoattractant properties towards cells of the innate (neutrophils, monocytes) and adaptive (T cells) immunity. However, it is not known whether IGFBP-6 expression is dysregulated in airway epithelial cells under infection/inflammatory conditions. Therefore, we first measured the basal IGFBP-6 mRNA and protein levels in bronchial epithelial cells lines (Wt and F508del-CFTR CFBE), finding they both are upregulated in F508del-CFTR CFBE cells. Interestingly, LPS and IL-1β+TNFα treatments increased the IGFBP-6 mRNA level, that was reduced after treatment with an anti-inflammatory (Dimethyl Fumarate) in CFBE cell line and in patient-derived nasal epithelial cultures. Lastly, we demonstrated that IGFBP-6 reduced the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines in both CFBE and primary nasal epithelial cells, without affecting rescued CFTR expression and function. The addition of a neutralizing antibody to IGFBP-6 increased pro-inflammatory cytokines expression under challenge with LPS. Together, these data suggest that IGFBP-6 may play a direct role in the CF-associated inflammation.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factors binding protein-6 (IGFBP-6) is involved in a relevant number of cellular activities and represents an important factor in the immune response, particularly in human dendritic cells (DCs). Over the past several years, significant insights into the IGF-independent effects of IGFBP-6 were discovered, such as the induction of chemotaxis, capacity to increase oxidative burst and neutrophils degranulation, ability to induce metabolic changes in DCs, and, more recently, the regulation of the Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway during fibrosis. IGFBP-6 has been implicated in different human diseases, and it plays a rather controversial role in the biology of tumors. Notably, well established relationships between immunity, stroma activity, and fibrosis are prognostic and predictive of response to cancer immunotherapy. This review aims at describing the current understanding of mechanisms that link IGFBP-6 and fibrosis development and at highlighting the multiple roles of IGFBP-6 to provide an insight into evolutionarily conserved mechanisms that can be relevant for inflammation, tumor immunity, and immunological diseases.
