Aurora-A kinase promotes anti-tumor immunity in high lymphocyte-infiltrated colorectal cancer (Section 24; Poster Board #9) - Mar 14, 2023 - Abstract #AACR2023AACR_7390; Aurora-A can promote anti-tumor immunity via negatively regulating IL-16 in a kinase activity-dependent manner in hot CRC tumors. In tumors with high lymphocyte infiltration, Aurora-A inhibition can suppress cancer cell growth and reduce anti-tumor immunity; the combination of Aurora-A inhibitors and IL-16 antibodies may provide a novel and effective strategy for cancer therapy in hot tumors.

In addition, it is also prognostic of need for more intensive therapy. Simple haematoxylin and eosin stained sinus mucosa still remains the most reliable tissue for assessment and is more accessible than bronchial biopsies.

We then performed adoptive transfer studies whereby MV from burn or unburned mice isolated 24h after injury were transferred into unburned mice by tail vein injection. We observed that adoptive transfer of burn-induced MV caused significantly increased plasma levels of IL-10, IL-6, IL-8 and MCP-1 24h after transfer compared to MV isolated from uninjured controls. These data indicate that injury-induced MV play a critical role in immune dysfunction.

Chronic refractory pain in PHN is not necessarily associated with increased inflammation in the affected skin. The TNF-α-308 AA genotype and A allele could be related to disability progression and severity of MS and the IL-18-607 AA genotype A allele could be related to susceptibility of the disease in the Egyptian cohort.

After 35 d post-vaccination, all fish were challenged intraperitoneally by virulent V. harveyi, and the relative percentage of survival (RPS) of FKC+β-glucan, FKC, β-glucan and PBS were 68 ± 5.7%, 55 ± 8.5%, 42 ± 7.5% and 32 ± 6.9%, respectively. These results demonstrated that β-glucan could be as a potential adjuvant of FKC and provide good protective effect against V. harveyi infection in the pearl gentian grouper culture.

These results demonstrated that β-glucan could be as a potential adjuvant of FKC and provide good protective effect against V. harveyi infection in the pearl gentian grouper culture. Sex differences in inflammatory biomarkers support that the underlying physiological changes during aging differ by sex and tissue origin.

We report novel increases in IL-15 and IL-16, in addition to the expected VEGF, in the human vitreous humor of patients with PDR. Additionally, we confirm the elevation of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, SAA, IL-8 and CRP in the vitreous of patients with PDR, which has previously been described.

In contrast, eight cytokines were associated with decreased odds of problems in one dimension: IL-8, IL-10, and IL-17A with emotional problems, Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-α with conduct problems, C-C motif chemokine Ligand (CCL)2 with hyperactivity/inattention, C-X-C motif chemokine Ligand (CXCL)10 with peer problems, and CCL3 and IL-16 with abnormal prosocial behavior. Without implying causation, these associations support the notion that cytokines regulate brain functions and behavior and provide a rationale for launching longitudinal studies.

Journal: An investigation into the modulation of T cell phenotypes by amitriptyline and nortriptyline. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 23, 2021 Significantly higher levels of IL-16 (p<0.001) and lower levels of TNF-β (p<0.05) were observed in supernatants. This data indicates that both amitriptyline and nortriptyline modulate the phenotype and function of T-cells and this may have clinical relevance in the pathologies of its off-label applications.

Clinical, Journal: A Serum Proteomic Signature Predicting Survival in Patients with Glioblastoma. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 23, 2021 Additionally, a subset of ten proteins including, CRP, SAA, VCAM1, VEGF, MDC, TNFA, IL7, IL8, IL10, IL16 were found to have prognostic value within the TCGA database and a positive correlation with overall survival in GBM patients who had received gross tumor resection followed by conventional radiation therapy and temozolomide treatment concurrent with the addition of valproic acid. These findings demonstrate that proteomic approaches to the development of prognostic assays for treatment of GBM may hold potential clinical value.

In addition, the number of cells with active caspase 3/7 and, consecutively, the amount of cells undergoing apoptosis, steadily increased at zinc aspartate concentrations exceeding 100 µM. Taken together, our findings suggest that zinc aspartate impairs T cell fitness and might be beneficial for the treatment of T cell-mediated autoimmune diseases.

They strongly predicted the risk of composite events (defined as treatment with renal replacement therapy and/or in-hospital death) (OR of the fourth versus the first quartile [95% CI]: interferon-γ, 27.78 [3.61-213.84], interleukin-16, 38.07 [4.98-291.07], and MIP-1α, 9.13 [2.84-29.33]). Conclusions Our study developed and validated a promising blood cytokine-based model for predicting severe acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery and identified prognostic biomarkers for assisting in outcome risk stratification.

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging data at 4 ± 2 days and 6 months were available as per trial protocol. Using a linear regression model with bootstrap resampling and false discovery rate adjustment we identified five proteins (ST2, interleukin-6, pentraxin-3, interleukin-10, renin, and myoglobin) with elevated values corresponding to larger infarct size or worse LVEF and four proteins (TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand, TNF-related activation induced cytokine, interleukin-16, and cystatin B) with values inversely related to LVEF and infarct size, concluding that among 131 circulating inflammatory and cardiovascular proteins in the acute and sub-acute phase of STEMI, nine showed a relationship with infarct size and LVEF post-STEMI, with IL-6 and ST2 exhibiting the strongest association.

The levels of CCL1, CCL8, CCL13, CCL15, CCL17, CCL19, CCL20, CXCL11, and IL-10 were significantly decreased, whereas the IL-16 levels were significantly increased in the suicide completers after adjustment with the Benjamini-Hochberg method to control for type Ⅰ errors (Q < 0.05). The observed chemokine alterations might suggest the presence of suicide-specific immunological mechanisms.

In-vivo, Matrigel plugs containing injected into the flanks of female C57/ Blk6 normal mice generated influx of higher levels of CD4+ve cells ( p = 0.005) and FOXP3+ T cells ( p = 0.007) in the presence of αvβ6+ cells compared to αvβ6-ve cells, supporting the findings in human tissue samples. Treg cells produce TRAIL induce apoptosis, we investigated the influence of αvβ6 on myoepithelial cells on the levels of TRAIL in T cells and the hypothesis that αvβ6+ Cells more susceptible to TRAIL- induced apoptosis, leading to loss of the myoepithelial barrier.

Children with COVID-19 displayed an immunophenotype that is less inflammatory than adults, including unremarkable cytokine elevation, moderate CD4 T cell response and inactive CD8 T cell response, but their humoral immunity against SARS-CoV-2 were as strong as adults. Our finding presented immunological characteristics of children with COVID-19 and might give some clues as to why children develop less severe disease than adults.

The median levels of IL-6 were significantly higher among CCP donors who were hospitalized versus nonhospitalized (P < .0014). Heterogeneity in cytokine and chemokine composition of CCP suggests there is a different inflammatory state among the CCP donors compared with SARS-CoV-2 naive, healthy blood donors.
