Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are both chronic diseases. Although the link between metabolic abnormalities and dysregulated inflammation has received much attention, it is not known whether T2DM can be a risk for the development of RA. Also, observational studies have the disadvantage that the possibility of confounding factors, such as environmental factors, cannot be ruled out. Therefore, the current study performed the mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using recent large-scale genome-wide association studies datasets of T2DM and RA separately European and Asian ancestries. As a result, T2DM had an inverse causal effect on the risk of RA. This study proposed a novel hypothesis that a protective effect of T2DM for the risk of RA.Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated malignancy with a complex tumor ecosystem. How the interplay between tumor cells, EBV, and the microenvironment contributes to NPC progression and immune evasion remains unclear. Here we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on ~104,000 cells from 19 EBV+ NPCs and 7 nonmalignant nasopharyngeal biopsies, simultaneously profiling the transcriptomes of malignant cells, EBV, stromal and immune cells. Overall, we identified global upregulation of interferon responses in the multicellular ecosystem of NPC. Notably, an epithelial-immune dual feature of malignant cells was discovered and associated with poor prognosis. Functional experiments revealed that tumor cells with this dual feature exhibited a higher capacity for tumorigenesis. Further characterization of the cellular components of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and their interactions with tumor cells revealed that the dual feature of tumor cells was positively correlated with the expression of co-inhibitory receptors on CD8+ tumor-infiltrating T cells. In addition, tumor cells with the dual feature were found to repress IFN-γ production by T cells, demonstrating their capacity for immune suppression. Our results provide new insights into the multicellular ecosystem of NPC and offer important clinical implications.Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), as do most chronic inflammatory disorders, displays unique features and confers different risk factors in male and female patients. Importantly, sex-based differences in IBD exist for epidemiological incidence and prevalence among different age groups, with men and women developing distinct clinical symptoms and disparity in severity of disease. In addition, the presentation of comorbidities in IBD displays strong sex differences. Notably, particular issues exclusive to women's health, including pregnancy and childbirth, require specific considerations in female patients with IBD of childbearing age that can have a substantial influence on clinical outcomes. This Review summarizes the latest findings regarding sex-based differences in the epidemiology, clinical course, comorbidities and response to current therapies in patients with IBD. Importantly, the latest basic science discoveries in this area of investigation are evaluated to provide insight into potential mechanisms underlying the influence of sex on disease pathogenesis, as well as to design more personalized and efficacious care, in patients with IBD.EBV-associated gastric adenocarcinomas (EBVaGCs) often exhibit better clinical outcomes than EBV negative gastric cancers (GCs), which could be related to their consistent expression of foreign viral antigens. Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) present peptide antigens in the context of the class-II major histocompatibility complex (MHC-II). During inflammatory conditions, epithelial cells express MHC-II and function as accessory APCs. Utilizing RNA-seq data from nearly 400 GC patients, we determined the impact of EBV-status on expression of MHC-II components, genes involved in their regulation, and T-cell co-stimulation. Virtually all MHC-II genes were significantly upregulated in EBVaGCs compared to normal tissues, or other GC subtypes. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/sd-208.html Genes involved in antigen presentation were also significantly upregulated in EBVaGCs, as were the key MHC-II transcriptional regulators CIITA and RFX5. This was unexpected as the EBV encoded BZLF1 protein can repress CIITA transcription and is expressed in many EBVaGCs. Furthermore, MHC-II upregulation was strongly correlated with elevated intratumoral levels of interferon-gamma. In addition, expression of co-stimulatory molecules involved in T-cell activation and survival was also significantly increased in EBVaGCs. Thus, gastric adenocarcinoma cells may functionally contribute to the highly immunogenic tumor microenvironment observed in EBVaGCs via a previously unappreciated role in interferon-induced antigen presentation.Current reports refer to the role of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) prostate androgen-regulated transcript 1 (PART1) as a tumor suppressor in some types of cancer but as an oncogene in other kinds of cancer. In gastric cancer, it had been reported to be downregulated. However, the clinical significance and underlying mechanism of PART1 function in gastric cancer remains undefined. Here, seven differential expression levels of noncoding RNAs (DE-lncRNAs) were screened from gastric cancer through a probe reannotation of a human exon array. PART1 was selected for further study because of its high fold change number. In our cohort, PART1 was identified as a significant downregulated lncRNA in gastric cancer tissues by qPCR and in situ hybridization (ISH), and its low expression was significantly correlated with postoperative metastasis and short overall survival time after surgery. Through the results of gain-of-function experiments, PART1 was confirmed as a tumor suppressor that can decrease not only cell viability, migration, and invasion in vitro but also tumorigenesis and tumor metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, RNA pull-down and RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP) showed that PART1 interacts with androgen receptor (AR), and then, promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger (PLZF) is upregulated in an androgen-independent manner. In a chain reaction, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay additionally illustrated that PLZF upregulation increased the enrichment of EZH2 and H3K27 trimethylation in the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGFB) promotor, thereby inhibition of PDGFB and the subsequent PDGFRβ/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Based on these findings, we showed PART1 plays a tumor suppressor role by promoting PLZF expression followed by recruitment of EZH2 to mediate epigenetic PDGFB silencing and downstream PI3K/Akt inhibition, suggesting that PART1 has a key role in restraining the aggressive ability of GC cells and providing a novel perspective on lncRNAs in GC progression.
