Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (

The significance of M1/M2 macrophage-like monocytes in children with systemic lupus erythematosus

European Journal of Inflammation, 2019
Monocytes/macrophages are important in the development of systemic lupus erythematosus. To research M1 and M2 macrophage-like monocytes in the peripheral blood of children with systemic lupus erythematosus and explore the clinical significance, M1 and M2

Intestinal Metabolites Influence Macrophage Phagocytosis and Clearance of Bacterial Infection

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
The metabolite-rich environment that is the intestinal lumen contains metabolic by-products deriving from microbial fermentation and host cell metabolism, with resident macrophages being constantly exposed to this metabolic flux.

Expression of ID4 protein in breast cancer cells induces reprogramming of tumour-associated macrophages [PDF]

, 2018
Background: As crucial regulators of the immune response against pathogens, macrophages have been extensively shown also to be important players in several diseases, including cancer. Specifically, breast cancer macrophages tightly control the angiogenic

In silico prediction of protein-protein interactions in human macrophages [PDF]

BMC Research Notes, BioMed Central, 2014, 7, pp.157, 2015
Background: Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analyses are highly valuable in deciphering and understanding the intricate organisation of cellular functions. Nevertheless, the majority of available protein-protein interaction networks are context-less, i.e.

Circulating tumor cells: advancing personalized therapy in small cell lung cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive form of lung cancer that spreads rapidly to secondary sites such as the brain and liver. Cancer cells circulating in the blood, “circulating tumor cells” (CTCs), have demonstrated prognostic value in SCLC, and evaluating biomarkers on CTCs could guide treatment decisions such as for PARP inhibitors ...

Differential proteomics highlights macrophage-specific responses to amorphous silica nanoparticles [PDF]

Nanoscale, Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017, 9 (27), pp.9641 - 9658. 10.1039/c7nr02140b, 2018
The technological and economic benefits of engineered nanomaterials may be offset by their adverse effects on living organisms. One of the highly produced nanomaterials under such scrutiny is amorphous silica nanoparticles, which are known to have an appreciable, although reversible, inflammatory potential.

KRAS and GNAS mutations in cell‐free DNA and in circulating epithelial cells in patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms—an observational pilot study

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that KRAS and GNAS mutations are more prevalent in patients with resected intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) compared to those under clinical surveillance. GNAS mutations significantly differ between the two patient cohorts, indicating that their absence may serve as a potential biomarker to support conservative ...

Immune cell census in murine atherosclerosis: cytometry by time of flight illuminates vascular myeloid cell diversity [PDF]

, 2018
Aims: Atherosclerosis is characterised by the abundant infiltration of myeloid cells starting at early stages of disease. Myeloid cells are key players in vascular immunity during atherogenesis.

A chemotaxis reaction-diffusion model for Multiple Sclerosis with Allee effect [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
In this paper, we study a modification of the mathematical model describing inflammation and demyelination patterns in the brain caused by Multiple Sclerosis proposed in [Lombardo et al. (2017), Journal of Mathematical Biology, 75, 373--417]. In particular, we hypothesize a minimal amount of macrophages to be able to start and sustain the inflammatory ...
