A Targeted Deep Sequencing Method to Quantify Endogenous Retrovirus Gag Sequence Variants and Open Reading Frames Expressed in Nonobese Diabetic Mice
J Immunol. 2024 May 13:ji2300660. doi: 10.4049/jimmunol.2300660. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEndogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are involved in autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes (T1D). ERV gene products homologous to murine leukemia retroviruses are expressed in the pancreatic islets of NOD mice, a model of T1D. One ERV gene, Gag, with partial or complete open reading frames (ORFs), is detected in the islets, and it contains many sequence variants. An amplicon deep sequencing analysis was established by targeting a conserved region within the Gag gene to compare NOD with T1D-resistant mice or different ages of pred...

Triple Trouble
We present a case of a 24-year-old female recently diagnosed with acute leukemia who came with complaints of fever for 14 days, progressive lower limb weakness, and multiple episodes of vomiting in the last 1 day. In nerve conduction studies, a diagnosis of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) was established. Fever with thrombocytopenia workup revealed a positive dengue nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) report. Immunophenotyping confirmed pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). As leukemia is an immunocompromised state, the peripheral nervous system vulnerability is increased, or infection could precipi...

Comprehensive analysis of the efficacy and safety of CAR T-cell therapy in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Choosing a more efficacious and safer CAR T-cell treatment is crucial for improving overall survival in acute leukaemia. Beyond the promising anti-CD22 CAR T-cell, exploring costimulatory domains and new CD targets could enhance treatment effectiveness for r/r B-ALL.PMID:38738799 | PMC:PMC11095278 | DOI:10.1080/07853890.2024.2349796 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Its fruits and seeds are used in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis, a common inflammatory skin disease. In this work, the known compounds lapachol, stigmasterol, maniladiol and scopoletin were isolated from hexane and dichloromethane extracts of M. pubescens branches. The aqueous extract of this material was fractioned through a liquid-liquid partition and the obtained fractions were analyzed by UHPLC-MS/MS. The results obtained were compared wit...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTProvirus integration site for Moloney murine leukemia virus (PIM) family serine/threonine kinases perform pro-tumorigenic functions in hematologic malignancies and solid tumors by phosphorylating substrates involved in tumor metabolism, cell survival, metastasis, inflammation, and immune cell invasion. However, a comprehensive understanding of PIM kinase functions is currently lacking. Multiple small molecule PIM kinase inhibitors are currently being evaluated as co-therapeutics in cancer patients.

The CNS Relapse in T-Cell Lymphoma Index Predicts CNS Relapse in Patients with T- and NK-Cell Lymphomas
Blood Adv. 2024 May 13:bloodadvances.2024012800. doi: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2024012800. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLittle is known about risk factors for central nervous system (CNS) relapse in mature T- and NK-cell neoplasms (MTNKN). We aimed to describe the clinical epidemiology of CNS relapse in patients with MTNKN and developed the CNS relapse In T-cell lymphoma Index (CITI) to predict patients at highest risk of CNS relapse. We reviewed data from 135 patients with MTNKN and CNS relapse from 19 North American institutions. After exclusion of leukemic and most cutaneous forms of MTNKN, patients were pooled with non-C...
