Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Associated Celiac Disease: A Retrospective Analysis and Literature Review
Authors: Gupta Malvika , Graham Christopher David , Gupta Supriya
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are used to treat various malignancies. They block the inhibitory signals of tumor cells and enhance the inflammatory cascade which results in tumor killing. However, this can lead to unchecked inflammation throughout the body, leading to various adverse effects. A rare gastrointestinal adverse effect of ICI therapy is the development of immune-mediated celiac disease. This entity has a similar clinical presentation to the more common ICI-induced enterocolitis. Our study aims to determine the clinical characteristics and optimal treatment strategies for this rare ICI toxicity, and differentiate it from ICI-induced enterocolitis. Methods and Material: We conducted a retrospective analysis of eight cases of ICI-induced celiac disease and 24 cases of ICI-induced enterocolitis from the literature. Data on patient demographics, clinical history, therapeutic interventions and outcomes were collected. Comparative analysis was performed to identify the key differences between the two groups. Results: Patients with ICI-induced celiac disease were more likely to have a pre-existing autoimmune condition and HLA-DQ2 positivity. Significant differences in clinical manifestations, histological findings, and treatment outcomes were observed. Notably, weight loss, nutritional deficiencies and electrolyte abnormalities were more commonly associated with ICI-CD. On pathology, duodenal villous blunting was noted more commonly with ICI-induced celiac disease. Initiating a gluten-free diet led to rapid improvement in patients with ICI-induced celiac disease, while immunosuppressive therapy did not have an impact. Conclusion: ICI-induced celiac disease is a rare and underrecognized gastrointestinal adverse effect of ICI therapy, often misdiagnosed as ICI-induced enterocolitis. Early recognition and treatment with a gluten-free diet can lead to rapid symptom resolution, sparing patients from unnecessary systemic immunosuppression and discontinuation of antineoplastic immunotherapy.
A Compendium of G-flipon Biological Functions that have Experimental Validation
Authors: Herbert Alan
Published: August 2024

As with all new fields of discovery, work on the biological role of G-quadruplexes (GQ) has produced a number of results that at first glance are quite baffling, sometimes because they do not fit well together, but mostly because they are different from commonly held expectations. Like other classes of flipons, those that form G-quadruplexes have a repeat sequence motif that enables the fold. The canonical DNA motif (G3N1-7)3G3, where N is any nucleotide and G is guanine, a feature that is under active selection in avian and mammalian genomes. The involvement of G-flipons in genome maintenance traces back to the invertebrate C. elegans and to ancient DNA repair pathways. A role for GQ in transcription is supported by the observation that yeast Rap1 protein binds both B-DNA, in a sequence-specific manner, and GQ, in a structure-specific manner, through the same helix. Other sequence-specific transcription factors (TF) also engage both conformations. RNAs can also modulate GQ formation in a sequence-specific manner and engage the same cellular machinery as localized by TF, linking the ancient RNA world with the modern protein world. The coevolution of both sequence-specific RNA and proteins is supported by studies of early embryonic development, where the transient formation of G-quadruplexes potentially coordinates the epigenetic specification of cell fate.
Epidemiology of Chronic Hepatitis C in Indigenous Populations in Canada
Authors: Dunn Kate , Wardman Dennis , Trubnikov Maxim , Sarin Chris , Wong Tom , Liu Hongqun , Lee Samuel S.
Published: August 2024

Indigenous Peoples in Canada are disproportionately affected by chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. HCV prevalence in Indigenous Peoples is estimated at approximately five to 10-fold higher than it is in non-Indigenous persons, while the reported rate of newly diagnosed HCV cases in First Nations communities was six times the respective rate in the general Canadian population in 2022. This review explores the reasons underlying the disproportionate burden of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in Indigenous Peoples, including significant over-representation of Indigenous Peoples in the major risk categories for HCV acquisition, such as substance abuse, incarceration, homelessness or inadequate shelter, and disruption of family/social supports. The impact of these risk factors is aggravated by many access barriers to healthcare services despite the availability of universal healthcare system and free curative antiviral therapies. These stem from the legacy of colonialism, discrimination and disenfranchisement, and are exacerbated by racism in the justice and healthcare systems, stigmatization and victimization. Recent recognition of historical harms and early steps towards nation-to-nation reconciliation along with support for culturally safe, wholistic and Indigenous People-led wellness programs instill hope that elimination strategies to eradicate HCV infection in Indigenous populations will be successful in Canada.

Published: August 2024

Background and Objectives: The new molecular classification of endometrial cancer continuously changes the management of the disease in every day clinical practice. Lately, FIGO released a new staging system for endometrial cancer, which incorporates molecular sub-stages and subdivides further early-stage disease. The aim of this study is to investigate the differences between the two FIGO staging systems and evaluate the prognostic precision of the new one. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the records of patients with endometrial cancer that were fully treated in the 1st Department of Obstetrics-Gynecology, 2012-2023. Patient characteristics, oncological outcome and follow-up information were collected. The primary outcomes were the stage shifts and the survival data. Results: 67 (15.5%) patients had a stage shift and the majority of them concerned early-stage disease and specifically up-shift from 2009 stages IA and IB to 2023 stage IIC. Concerning, survival a better median and 5-year PFS was present in Stage II disease and when compering the prognostic precision of the two FIGO staging systems no significant difference was present. Conclusions: The new 2023 FIGO staging system better distinguishes early-stage endometrial cancer into its prognostic groups and seems to be as precise as the old 2009 FIGO staging system.
Supplementation with Pentadecylresorcinol to a High-Fat Diet Increases the Predicted Representation of Enzymes and Metabolic Pathways for Vitamin B12 Synthesis by the Gut Microbiota of C57BL6 Mice
Authors: Zabolotneva Anastasia A. , Makeev Mikhail D. , Fesenko Anastasia V. , Roumiantsev Sergey A. , Shestopalov Aleksandr V.
Published: August 2024

5-Pentadecylresorcinol (C15) is a natural alkylresorcinol that has been shown to protect against complications caused by imbalanced nutrition. Although the exact mechanisms of beneficial activity of C15 are not known, we assume that the protective effects of C15 on metabolic health are mediated by their modulatory influence on the composition of the intestinal microbiota and functional activity. Cobamides and vitamin B12 are believed to be crucial modulators of mammalian gut ecosystems. We proposed that C15 may influence the representation of enzymes and pathways for vitamin B12 synthesis in the gut microbiome, providing compositional and functional changes in the microbial community. High-throughput metagenome sequencing of the contents of the small and large intestines of C57Bl6 mice fed a regular or high-fat diet with or without C15 supplementation was performed followed by reconstruction of the metabolic activity of the microbiota to clarify the role of C15 in vitamin B12 synthesis by the gut microbiota. It has been established that C15 significantly increases the representation of the cobalamin salvage pathway and enzymes in the microbiome of the large intestine of mice fed a high-fat diet. The genera Clostridium, AF12, and [Ruminococcus] had shown the highest number of correlations with enzymes for B12 synthesis and were negatively associated with the representation of probiotic bacteria. Therefore, the beneficial effect of C15 on the gut microbiota community can be achieved by modulating B12 synthesis that, in turn, serves as one of the key regulators of gut microbiota ecology.
Morphology, Morphogenesis and Molecular Phylogeny of Two Freshwater Ciliates (Alveolata, Ciliophora), with Description of Pseudosincirra binaria sp. nov. and Redefinition of Pseudosincirra and Perisincirra
Authors: Liao Lijian , Hu Yue , Hu Xiaozhong
Published: August 2024

Ciliated microeukaryotes are insufficiently integratively investigated despite their ubiquity and ecological significance. The morphology and ontogenesis of a new Stichotrichida species, Pseudosincirra binaria sp. nov., and the known Perisincirra paucicirrata Foissner et al., 2002, are here studied using live observations and protargol staining methods. The new species is characterized by having one buccal, one parabuccal and three frontal cirri, one frontoventral row extending to the posterior half of the cell, three left and two right marginal rows, three dorsal kineties with the left kinety conspicuously bipartite, along with one caudal cirrus at the rear end of each kinety. During morphogenesis, there exist five frontal-ventral cirral anlagen with anlagen IV and V forming frontoventral row in the proter, and four anlagen with anlage IV generating frontoventral row in the opisthe. The anlagen for marginal rows and dorsal kineties develop intrakinetally. The new population of Perisincirra paucicirrata corresponds well with other isolates regarding morphology and cell development. Phylogenetic analyses based on the small subunit ribosomal gene sequence data revealed that both Perisincirra and Pseudosincirra are deeply clustered in the clade consisting of species from the genera Deviata and Heterodeviata, supporting the placement of both genera into the family Deviatidae Foissner, 2016.
New Role of the Serotonin as a Biomarker of Gut-Brain Interaction
Authors: Liu Hong Nian , Nakamura Masanao , Kawashima Hiroki
Published: August 2024

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine: 5-HT), a neurotransmitter that regulates mood in the brain and signaling in the gut, has receptors throughout the body that serve various functions. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are used to treat depression, but their efficacy is uncertain. Depression is often associated with early gastrointestinal symptoms. Gut disorders such as functional dyspepsia (FD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), are linked to elevated serotonin levels. In this review, we would like to discuss the approach of using serotonin as a biomarker for gut-brain and body-wide organ communication may lead to the development of preventive and innovative treatments for gut-brain disorders, offering improved visibility and therapeutic monitoring. It could also be used to gauge stress intensity for self-care and mental health improvement.

Published: August 2024

Co-management is increasingly recognized as an effective approach of forest governance while recognizing local people's forest dependency and traditional rights. Moreover, co-management is expected to positively impact forest cover and ecosystem health. Bangladesh, facing a rapid decline in forest cover, has one of the lowest per capita forest areas worldwide. For quite a while, co-management practices have been used to improve forest cover and the livelihoods of forest-dependent people in Bangladesh. Several studies have assessed the efficacy of co-management in different protected areas in Bangladesh from livelihood, social, and cultural aspects. However, the overall changes in forest cover due to co-management from the very beginning of co-management initiatives in the country have been overlooked. We used remotely sensed Landsat images to assess the changes in forest cover and overall land use in five forest protected areas where co-management was piloted. Three major vegetation indices (NDVI, EVI, and MSAVI) were examined to ensure the study's robustness. This study aims to assess the scope and weaknesses of the current policy that incorporates co-management in the country's first five protected areas (SNP, LNP, RKWS, TWS, and CWS), which were brought under co-management in 2003, and compare the efficacy of the co-management relative to non-comanaged protected areas (RRF). The land cover analysis based on NDVI, MSAVI, and EVI values indicated dominant dense forest coverage (41–71%) across five protected areas. During the co-management period (2004–2015), there was a significant decrease in the dense forest proportion, with slopes ranging from -3.7 to -0.96. Similarly, the RRF showed a decreasing pattern, with the slope of the decreasing trendline ranging from -0.48 to -0.62 across the three indices. Agriculture and forest-agriculture mosaics showed a significant increase, with varying slopes among protected areas in both co-managed and non-comanaged sites. Pixel-to-pixel changes revealed dynamic shifts in vegetation indices, and Global Forest Watch data highlighted forest cover losses, notably in CWS (158.77 ha) and SNP (0.49 ha).

This review contributes significantly to understanding the role of digital transformation in promoting a sustainable and digitally enabled future in higher education.
Secondary Envelopment of Human Cytomegalovirus Is a Fast Process Utilizing the Endocytic Compartment as a Major Membrane Source
Authors: Bergner Tim , Cortez Rayas Laura , Freimann Gesa , Read Clarissa , von Einem Jens
Published: August 2024

Secondary envelopment of the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a critical but not well-understood process that takes place at the cytoplasmic viral assembly complex (cVAC) where nucleocapsids acquire their envelope by budding into cellular membranes containing viral glycoproteins. Previous studies presented controversial results regarding the composition of the viral envelope, suggesting trans-Golgi and endosomal origins, as well as intersections with the exosomal and endocytic pathways.
Here, we investigated the role of endocytic membranes for the secondary envelopment of HCMV by using wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) pulse labelling to label glycoproteins at the plasma membrane and to follow their trafficking during HCMV infection by light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
WGA labelled different membrane compartments within the cVAC, including early endosomes, multivesicular bodies, trans-Golgi, and recycling endosomes. Furthermore, TEM analysis showed that almost 90% of capsids undergoing secondary envelopment and 50% of enveloped capsids were WGA-positive within 90 minutes.
Our data reveal extensive remodeling of the endocytic compartment in the late stage of HCMV infection, where the endocytic compartment provides an optimized environment for virion morphogenesis and serves as the primary membrane source for secondary envelopment. Furthermore, we show that secondary envelopment is a rapid process in which endocytosed membranes are transported from the plasma membrane to the cVAC within minutes to be utilized by capsids for envelopment.
