Climate Change, Skin Health, and Dermatologic Disease: A Guide for the Dermatologist
AbstractClimate change has a pervasive impact on health and is of clinical relevance to every organ system. Climate change-related factors impact the skin ’s capacity to maintain homeostasis, leading to a variety of cutaneous diseases. Stratospheric ozone depletion has led to increased risk of melanoma and keratinocyte carcinomas due to ultraviolet radiation exposure. Atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, pemphigus, acne vulgaris, melasma, and photoaging ar e all associated with rising levels of air pollution. Elevated temperatures due to global warming induce disruption of the skin microbiome, thereby impacting atopic dermatiti...

The vascular gene Apold1 is dispensable for normal development but controls angiogenesis under pathological conditions
AbstractThe molecular mechanisms of angiogenesis have been intensely studied, but many genes that control endothelial behavior and fate still need to be described. Here, we characterize the role ofApold1 (Apolipoprotein L domain containing 1) in angiogenesis in vivo and in vitro. Single-cell analyses reveal that - across tissues - the expression ofApold1 is restricted to the vasculature and thatApold1 expression in endothelial cells (ECs) is highly sensitive to environmental factors. UsingApold1−/− mice, we find thatApold1 is dispensable for development and does not affect postnatal retinal angiogenesis nor alters the ...

Association between baseline cardiovascular risk and incidence rates of major adverse cardiovascular events and malignancies in patients with psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis receiving tofacitinib
CONCLUSION: In tofacitinib-treated patients with PsA/PsO, increased ASCVD risk and baseline MetS were associated with higher IRs for MACE and malignancies. Our results support assessing CV risk in patients with PsA/PsO and suggest enhanced cancer monitoring in those with increased ASCVD risk.REGISTRATION CLINICALTRIALSGOV: NCT01877668/NCT01882439/NCT01976364/NCT00678210/NCT01710046/NCT01241591/NCT01186744/NCT01276639/NCT01309737/NCT01163253.PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: People who have psoriatic arthritis or psoriasis may have more heart-related problems and cancer if they have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease: A study in...

Systematic analysis of brain and skull ischemic injury expression profiles reveals associations of the tumor immune microenvironment and cell death with ischemic stroke
ConclusionThis systematic analysis not only helps in the understanding of the changes in the gene expression profiles of both the brain and skull with ischemic injury but also reveals the association of the tumor immune microenvironment and cell death with ischemic stroke.

The AIM2 Inflammasome: A Novel Biomarker and Target in Cardiovascular Disease
Pharmacol Res. 2022 Nov 1:106533. doi: 10.1016/j.phrs.2022.106533. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAbsent in melanoma 2(AIM2) is a cytoplasmic sensor that recognizes the double-strand DNA. AIM2 inflammasome is a protein platform in the cell that initiates innate immune responses by cleaving pro-caspase-1 and converting IL-1β and IL-18 to their mature forms. Additionally, AIM2 inflammasome promotes pyroptosis by converting Gasdermin-D(GSDMD) to GSDMD-N fragments. An increasing number of studies have indicated the important and decisive roles of the AIM2 inflammasome, IL-1β, and pyroptosis in cardiovascular diseases, such as...

The effect of menopausal hormone therapy on the risk of melanoma and keratinocyte skin cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies
The re-analysis of Women's Health Initiative and the publication of data emerging from recent clinical trials data have restored the initial decline in the use of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), due to adverse events, such as stroke and pulmonary embolism [1,2]. Nowadays, an increasing number of women treat their menopausal symptoms with hormonal therapies, which exhibit a better safety profile. However, the association of MHT with cancer development remains a potent drawback, with breast and endometrial cancer being the most frequently reported neoplasms [3,4].

Taohong siwu decoction attenuates AIM2 and NLRC4 inflammasomes by ameliorates deoxyribonucleic acid damage after ischemic stroke
Taohong siwu decoction (THSWD) has been shown to have a therapeutic effect on ischemic strokes (IS). However, it is not clear to us whether THSWD reduces deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage after stroke and reduces the inflammatory response caused by the damage. Therefore, we constructed an IS model (I/R) in rats and performed oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) on BV2 cells. Then ELISA, immunofluorescence staining, immunohistochemistry staining, and RT-qPCR were performed to detect the expressions of absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2), NLRC4, and Caspase-1 inflammasomes and other inflammatory factors. Experimental st...

Cardiovascular disease and malignant melanoma
In the last decade, systemic therapies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors and BRAF-MEK inhibitors have improved the prognosis of high-risk and advanced melanoma. With improved survival, melanoma survivorship is increasingly important, particularly in patients who have a good prognosis or are diagnosed at a younger age. It is increasingly recognized that cancer and its treatment is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Indeed, data from observational studies and meta-analyses of randomized controls trials in melanoma show that systemic therapies may be associated with cardiac toxicities, such a...

Causal relationship from coffee consumption to diseases and mortality: a review of observational and Mendelian randomization studies including cardiometabolic diseases, cancer, gallstones and other diseases
ConclusionHigh coffee consumption is associated with low risk of mortality, cardiometabolic diseases, some cancers and gallstones in observational studies, with no evidence to support causality from Mendelian randomization studies for most diseases except gallstones.
