Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 2400: Bruton & rsquo;s Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (BTKIs): Review of Preclinical Studies and Evaluation of Clinical Trials
Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 2400: Bruton’s Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (BTKIs): Review of Preclinical Studies and Evaluation of Clinical Trials Molecules doi: 10.3390/molecules28052400 Authors: Dariusz Rozkiewicz Justyna Magdalena Hermanowicz Iwona Kwiatkowska Anna Krupa Dariusz Pawlak In the last few decades, there has been a growing interest in Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) and the compounds that target it. BTK is a downstream mediator of the B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway and affects B-cell proliferation and differentiation. Evidence demonstrating the expression of BTK on t...

CCL24 Signaling in the Tumor Microenvironment
Adv Exp Med Biol. 2021;1302:91-98. doi: 10.1007/978-3-030-62658-7_7.ABSTRACTChemokines with their network play an important role in cancer growth, metastasis, and host-tumor interactions. Of many chemokines, C-C motif chemokine ligand 24 (CCL24) has been shown to contribute to tumorigenesis as well as inflammatory diseases like asthma, allergies, and eosinophilic esophagitis. CCL24 is expressed in some tumor cells such as colon cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and cutaneous T cell lymphoma. CCL24 can be used as a potential biomarker in several cancers including colon cancer, non-small cell cancer, and nasopharyngeal carci...

STAT6: A review of a signaling pathway implicated in various diseases with a special emphasis in its usefulness in pathology
Pathol Res Pract. 2021 May 11;223:153477. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2021.153477. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSignal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 6 (STAT6), belonging to a family of seven similar members is primarily stimulated by interleukin(IL)-4 and IL-13, and acts as a T helper type 2 (Th2)-inducing factor. Thus, it is implicated in the pathophysiology of various allergic conditions, such as asthma, atopic dermatitis, eosinophilic esophagitis and food allergies, but also in tumor microenvironment regulation. Furthermore, certain forms of lymphomas, notably the Hodgkin lymphoma group, the primary mediastinal and ...

Editorial: Shaping of Human Immune System and Metabolic Processes by Viruses and Microorganisms
Conclusions In conclusion, articles in this Research Topic made a very significant contribution to our understanding of the role played by environmental factors, dysbiotic conditions, and infections in triggering diseases. Since this is a rapidly expanding area of research, many other factors contributing to the onset of these diseases are not covered here. We are confident, however, that further studies will expand the list as well as bring a better understanding of mechanisms involved in the onset of autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases. Author Contributions All authors listed have made a substantial, direct and i...

All Itching Is Not Benign; A Case of Refractory Hypereosinophilic Syndrome Treated with Off Label CD52 Inhibitor-Alemtuzumab
CONCLUSIONOur patient responded well to alemtuzumab, without any notable side effects. Therapy should be reserved due to early and late adverse affects but this agent has proved to be an effective treatment for HES in terms of both complete hematologic response and duration (Strati, P. et. al Clinical Lymphoma, Myeloma & Leukemia 2012). Moreover resistance is not seen, as patients with relapse were able to achieve a second remission. Data about efficacy and safety in the long-term remains lacking, but for treatment resistant and refractory HES, Alemtuzmab may be a suitable choice.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract PR03: Association of environmental risk factors, family history, and polygenic risk scores with chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Conclusions: We found evidence of independent effects among the genetic and non-genetic factors with risk of CLL. Among these factors, the PRS had the largest effect size. Although we did not observe any statistical interactions, larger sample sizes are warranted to fully evaluate these effects on risk of CLL. We are currently increasing our sample size through collaboration with other research groups. Final results will be presented in the meeting.This abstract is also being presented as Poster A06.Citation Format: Geffen Kleinstern, Dennis Robinson, Tim G.

Associations between allergies and risk of hematologic malignancies: Results from the VITamins and lifestyle cohort study
Immune dysregulations associated with allergies may affect cancer cell biology but studies on the relationship between allergies and risk of hematologic malignancies (HM) yielded inconsistent results. Herein, we used the vitamins and Lifestyle (VITAL) cohort to examine this association. From 2000 to 2002, 66,212 participants, aged 50–76, completed a baseline questionnaire on cancer risk factors, medical conditions, allergies, and asthma. Through 2009, incident HMs (n = 681) were identified via linkage to the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results cancer registry. After adjustment for factors possibly associated ...
