CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) can inhibit cytotoxic responses. Though several studies have analyzed Treg frequency in the peripheral blood mononuclear (PBMCs) of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) patients using flow cytometry (FCM), few examined how intratumoral Tregs might contribute to immunosuppression tumor microenvironment. Thus, potential role PDA remains be elucidated. In this study, we found that percentages Tregs, CD4+ and CD8+ were all increased significantly...

Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 1 (HMGCS1) is a key enzyme in the mevalonate pathway of cholesterol synthesis. Dysregulation HMGCS1 expression common occurrence many solid tumors. It was also found to be overexpressed newly diagnosed (ND) and relapsed/refractory (RR) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Previous study proved that could induce drug-resistance AML cells. However, underlying mechanism how contributed chemoresistance remains elusive. Here, we confirmed inhibitor...

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) can alleviate the development of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, thereby proposing their role as a new therapeutic strategy. Parasitic helminths have co-evolved with hosts to generate immunological privilege immune tolerance through inducing Tregs. Thus, constructing "Tregs-induction"-based discovery pipeline from parasitic helminth is promising strategy control diseases.The gel filtration chromatography reverse-phase high-performance liquid (RP-HPLC) were...

Distinct opioid receptor agonists have been proved to induce differential patterns of ERK activation, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we report that Ser363 in δ-opioid (δOR) determines different abilities δOR DPDPE and TIPP activate by G-protein- or β-arrestin-dependent pathways. Although both activated ERK1/2, they showed temporal, spatial desensitization activation. We show employed G protein as primary mediator cascade an Src-dependent manner, whereas mainly adopted a...
