Objective This study aims to investigate the effects of FGL2 on the immune response of EBV-infected T cells,including their activation,proliferation,exhaustion,and cytokine profile changes.Methods Primary T cells were infected with EBV at different multiplicities of infection(MOI).Expression of FGL2 in T cells,as well as T-cell activation,proliferation,exhaustion,and cytokine levels,were detected using RT-qPCR,Western blot,ELISA,CCK8,and flow cytometry(FCM),respectively.Further experiments involving FGL2 knockdown and overexpression were conducted to elucidate its specific regulatory role in EBV-infected T cells.Results FGL2 expression was significantly upregulated in EBV-infected T cells(P＜0.05).EBV infection also induced enhanced T cell activation(P＜0.001),proliferation(P＜0.001),and exhaustion(P＜0.01).Compared to the T cells+EBV group,the T cells+EBV+FGL2 overexpression group exhibited higher exhaustion levels(P＜0.01),reduced activation(P＜0.05)and proliferation(P＜0.05),decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels(P＜0.05),and increased anti-inflammatory cytokine levels(P＜0.05).Conversely,the T cells+EBV+FGL2 knockdown group demonstrated the opposite trends,with elevated activation(P＜0.01),proliferation(P＜0.05),pro-inflammatory cytokine levels(P＜0.05),and reduced exhaustion(P＜0.01)and anti-inflammatory cytokine levels(P＜0.05).Conclusion FGL2 suppresses T cell activation and proliferation,exacerbates T cell exhaustion,inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokine release,and promotes anti-inflammatory cytokine secretion during EBV infection,thereby modulating the immune response of T cells.

Thymoma is a malignant tumor originating from thymus epithelial cells, with an incidence of 1.3-2.6 per million. Due to its low incidence, lack of cells and animal models, there are relatively few studies on thymoma, and its diagnosis and treatment progress is relatively slow. The update of 5th edition of WHO Classification of Thoracic Tumors in 2021 and the NCCN( National Comprehensive Cancer Network) Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology: Thymoma and Thymoma Cancer in 2024 put forward many new views and suggestions on the diagnosis and treatment strategy of thymoma. This article reviews the research and treatment of thymoma based on the latest research progress in recent years, aiming to improve the clinician's understanding of thymoma, provide reference for treatment, and promote the research of thymoma.

Ferroptosis was discovered and named by the laboratory of Brent Stockwell at Columbia University in 2012. Ferroptosis has become a research hotspot in the fields of life sciences, medicine and chemistry, and it now plays a significant role in the development and progression of major diseases such as neoplasms, neurodegenerative diseases, tissue and organ damage, and immune-related diseases. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is the most common type of lymphoma which ranks as the third most frequent malignant tumor in children in China. This paper reviews the research progress of the relationship between ferroptosis and NHL, with a particular focus on Burkitt lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Background::Atopic dermatitis (AD) affects approximately 10% of adults worldwide. CM310 is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-4 receptor alpha that blocks interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 signaling. This trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CM310 in Chinese adults with moderate-to-severe AD.Methods::This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2b trial was conducted in 21 medical institutions in China from February to November 2021. Totally 120 eligible patients were enrolled and randomized (1:1:1) to receive subcutaneous injections of 300 mg CM310, 150 mg CM310, or placebo every 2 weeks for 16 weeks, followed by an 8-week follow-up period. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving ≥75% improvement in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI-75) score from baseline at week 16. Safety and pharmacodynamics were also studied.Results::At week 16, the proportion of EASI-75 responders from baseline was significantly higher in the CM310 groups (70% [28/40] for high-dose and 65% [26/40] for low-dose) than that in the placebo group (20%[8/40]). The differences in EASI-75 response rate were 50% (high vs. placebo, 95% CI 31%–69%) and 45% (low vs. placebo, 95% CI 26%–64%), with both P values <0.0001. CM310 at both doses also significantly improved the EASI score, Investigator’s Global Assessment score, daily peak pruritus Numerical Rating Scale, AD-affected body surface area, and Dermatology Life Quality Index compared with placebo. CM310 treatment reduced levels of thymus and activation-regulated chemokine, total immunoglobulin E, lactate dehydrogenase, and blood eosinophils. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was similar among all three groups, with the most common TEAEs reported being upper respiratory tract infection, atopic dermatitis, hyperlipidemia, and hyperuricemia. No severe adverse events were deemed to be attributed to CM310. Conclusion::CM310 at 150 mg and 300 mg every 2 weeks demonstrated significant efficacy and was well-tolerated in adults with moderate-to-severe AD.Trial Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04805411.

Objective:To explore the regulation mechanism of the quorum sensing regulator AphA on the functional activity of type Ⅵ secretion system VflT6SS2 in Vibrio fluvialis. Methods:Western Blot analysis was used to detect the relative expression and secretion of VflT6SS2 signature component hemolysin-coregulated protein (Hcp) in wild type (WT), Δ aphA, and corresponding complementary strains. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR and luminescence activity assay of the promoter- lux fusion system was used to measure the mRNA expression levels and promoter activity of the VflT6SS2 core and accessory gene-cluster representative genes tssB2, hcp ( tssD2) and vgrG ( tssI2), and the quorum sensing regulator HapR in WT and Δ aphA strains. A point mutation experiment combined with a luminescence activity assay was used to verify the regulatory binding site of AphA in the tssD2b promoter region. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) was used to determine AphA binding to the hapR promoter. Results:The mRNA expression levels of tssB2, hcp( tssD2), vgrG ( tssI2), and hapR as well as the protein expression and secretion levels of Hcp in Δ aphA strain, were significantly higher than those in the WT strain. The promoter activities of the VflT6SS2 core cluster, tssD2a, tssI2a, and hapR were higher in Δ aphA strain than in the WT strain, while the promoter activity of tssD2b showed the opposite trend. The promoter sequence analysis of tssD2a and tssD2b found significant differences in the region from -335 bp to -229 bp, and two potential AphA binding sites on tssD2b. The promoter activity of tssD2b decreased significantly after the point mutation of the two potential AphA binding sites. EMSA results showed that AphA binds directly to the promoter region of hapR. Conclusions:AphA indirectly inhibits the regulation of the VflT6SS2 core and accessory gene clusters at the promoter level by directly repressing the expression of hapR. AphA showed opposite regulation patterns for tssD2a and tssD2b, and AphA could positively regulate the expression of tssD2b by directly binding to the tssD2b promoter region (-335 bp to -229 bp).
