Large granular lymphocyte leukemia: a clonal disorder with autoimmune manifestations. (PubMed, Hematology Am Soc Hematol Educ Program)
The first-line treatment for LGL leukemia is historically based on immunosuppressive agents (methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, or cyclosporine). However, cytokines blocking molecules or Jak/STAT inhibitors represent a new conceptual therapeutic approach for LGL leukemia. In this review, we present an overview of the spectrum of LGL proliferations, potential links between LGL expansion and autoimmunity, and therapeutic approaches.

Bioinformatics Analysis and Experimental Validation of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Related Genes in Osteoporosis. (PubMed, Int J Gen Med)
Moreover, the key DE-ERSGs-drug interaction network showed that some drugs such as bisphenol A, Cisplatin, Cyclosporine, and Valproic Acid might play roles by targeting key DE-ERSGs in OP. Ultimately, The blood samples RT-qPCR verification results show that RPN2, ERGIC2, and MYO9A were significantly lower in OP samples compared to normal samples (p < 0.05), whereas there was no difference in the expression levels of FOXO3. RPN2, FOXO3, ERGIC2 and MYO9A as the biomarkers associated with ERS in OP by bioinformatics analysis, which may provide new biological targets for clinical treatment.

GPR68 supports AML cells through the calcium/calcineurin pro-survival pathway and confers chemoresistance by mediating glucose metabolic symbiosis. (PubMed, Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis)
As glucose metabolic symbiosis and the heterogeneous dependencies on aerobic glycolysis and cellular respiration tremendously impact chemosensitivity, the inhibition of GPR68 potentiated the tumoricidal effect of first-line chemotherapeutic agents, including BCL-2 inhibitors targeting OxPhos and cytarabine (AraC) targeting glycolysis...The overexpression of GPR68 drives a Ca2+/CaN pro-survival pathway and mediates glucose metabolic symbiosis in AML cells, suggesting the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of GPR68 in AML.

Calcineurin-mediated dephosphorylation stabilizes E2F1 protein by suppressing binding of the FBXW7 ubiquitin ligase subunit. (PubMed, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A)
Finally, the calcineurin inhibitor FK506 attenuated xenograft tumor growth in mice in association with downregulation of E2F1 in the tumor tissue. Impairment of the balance between the opposing actions of FBXW7 and calcineurin in the regulation of E2F1 abundance may therefore play an important role in carcinogenesis.

Adding UC-MSC or UCB-Treg to CsA markedly enhanced the reconstruction of hematopoiesis in AA mice, with UC-MSC eliciting greater efficiency than UCB-Treg. Accordingly, the addition of these cells could further improve immune abnormalities.
