BiFC studies showed that D-segment-mediated PpDHNA self-association is a requirement for stress abatement. The D-segment was also found to occur in two rehydrin proteins from Syntrichia ruralis, another poikilohydric plant like P. patens. Multiple occurrences of the D-segment in poikilohydric plant dehydrins/rehydrins, along with the experimental demonstration of the role of D-segment in stress abatement, implies that the D-segment mediates unique resurrection strategies, which may be employed by plant dehydrins that are capable of mitigating extreme stress.Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a natural multifunctional phospholipid, is highly increased in plasma from patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and mediates proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) by activating Notch3 signaling pathway. However, the mechanisms underpinning S1P-mediated induction of PASMC proliferation remain unclear. In this study, using biochemical and molecular biology approaches, RNA-interference and gene expression analyses, 5'-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation assay and 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, we demonstrated that S1P promoted the activation of STAT3 through sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2 (S1PR2), and subsequently upregulated the expression of the microRNA miR-135b, which further reduced the expression of E3 ubiquitin ligase β-transduction repeat-containing protein (β-TrCP) and led to a reduction in YAP ubiquitinated degradation in PASMC. YAP is the core effector of Hippo pathway and mediates the expression of particular genes. The accumulation of YAP further increased the expression and activation of Notch3, and ultimately promoted the proliferation of PASMC. In addition, we showed that pre-blocking S1PR2, prior silencing STAT3, miR-135b or YAP, and prior inhibition of Notch3 all attenuated S1P-induced PASMC proliferation. Taken together, our study indicates that S1P stimulates PASMC proliferation by activation of S1PR2/STAT3/miR-135b/β-TrCP/YAP/Notch3 pathway, and our data suggest that targeting this cascade might have potential value in ameliorating PASMC hyperproliferation and benefit PAH.
TIGIT is a co-inhibitory receptor, and its suitability as a target for cancer immunotherapy in HCC is unknown. PD1 blockade is clinically effective in about 20% of advanced HCC patients. Here we aim to determine whether co-blockade of TIGIT/PD1 has added value to restore functionality of HCC tumor-infiltrating T cells (TILs).

Mononuclear leukocytes were isolated from tumors, paired tumor-free liver tissues (TFL) and peripheral blood of HCC patients, and used for flow cytometric phenotyping and functional assays. CD3/CD28 T-cell stimulation and antigen-specific assays were used to study the exvivo effects of TIGIT/PD1 single or dual blockade on T-cell functions.

TIGIT was enriched, whereas its co-stimulatory counterpart CD226 was down-regulated on PD1
CD8
TILs. PD1
TIGIT
CD8
TILs co-expressed exhaustion markers TIM3 and LAG3 and demonstrated higher TOX expression. Furthermore, this subset showed decreased capacity to produce IFN-γ and TNF-α. Expression of TIGIT-ligand CD155 was up-regulated on tumor cells compared with hepatocytes in TFL. Whereas single PD1 blockade preferentially enhanced exvivo functions of CD8
TILs from tumors with PD1
CD8
TILs (high PD1 expressers), co-blockade of TIGIT and PD1 improved proliferation and cytokine production of CD8
TILs from tumors enriched for PD1
CD8
TILs (low PD1 expressers). Importantly, exvivo co-blockade of TIGIT/PD1 improved proliferation, cytokine production, and cytotoxicity of CD8
TILs compared with single PD1 blockade.

Exvivo, co-blockade of TIGIT/PD1 improves functionality of CD8
TILs that do not respond to single PD1 blockade. Therefore co-blockade of TIGIT/PD1 could be a promising immune therapeutic strategy for HCC patients.
Ex vivo, co-blockade of TIGIT/PD1 improves functionality of CD8+ TILs that do not respond to single PD1 blockade. Therefore co-blockade of TIGIT/PD1 could be a promising immune therapeutic strategy for HCC patients.Adipose tissue is essential to endotherms for thermoregulation and energy storage as well as functioning as an endocrine organ. Adipose derived hormones, or adipokines, regulate metabolism, energy expenditure, reproduction, and immune function in model systems but are less well studied in wildlife. Female northern elephant seals (NES) achieve high adiposity during foraging and then undergo natural fasts up to five weeks long during haul-outs associated with reproduction and molting, resulting in large changes in adipose reserves. We measured circulating levels of four adipokines leptin, resistin, adiponectin, and kisspeptin-54, in 196 serum samples from female NES at the beginning and end of their breeding and molting fasts. We examined the relationships between these adipokines and life-history stage, adiposity, mass, cortisol, and an immune cytokine involved in the innate immune response interleukin 6 (IL-6). All four adipokines varied with life-history stage. NSC 2382 mw Leptin concentrations were highest at the beginxert important regulatory roles in NES. The positive relationship between adiponectin and adiposity as well as the lack of a relationship between leptin and kisspeptin-54 differed from model systems. These differences from biomedical model systems suggest the potential for modifications of expression and function of adipose-derived hormones in species that undergo natural changes in adiposity as part of their life-history.
Stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) encompasses a variety of local invasion and nodal involvement and its management is still under debate. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have been shown to improve the survival in metastatic NSCLC, but are far from being accepted as an induction therapy.

We retrospectively collected data of all patients who received induction ICI (nivolumab or pembrolizumab) and chemotherapy (carboplatin with paclitaxel) for stage IIIA-B NSCLC followed by surgery in our unit between January 2019 and March 2020.

Of the 12 patients (9 males, 3 females) 6 had a squamous cell carcinoma, 3 had adenocarcinoma, 1 had an undifferentiated adenocarcinoma and 1 had adeno-squamous carcinoma. Seven patients had stage IIIA disease and 5 had stage IIIB. After induction therapy, 6 patients had stable disease and 6 had a partial response. The median tumor reduction was 3.05 cm (range 2.30-8.70). All patients, but one due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 outbreak, had no delay in surgery. Two patients experienced myelosuppression after induction therapy, two had minor adverse effects.
