CX3CR1+ age-associated CD4+ T cells contribute to synovial inflammation in late-onset rheumatoid arthritis by Mitsuhiro Akiyama, Sohma Wakasugi, Keiko Yoshimoto, Koichi Saito, Sho Ishigaki, Risa Inukai, Yoshiyuki Matsuno, Waleed Alshehri, Yasushi Kondo, Yuko Kaneko

“…Results CX3CR1+cytotoxic CD4+ T cells were specifically increased in untreated, active patients with LORA, displaying features of CXCR3mid age-associated T helper cells known as “ThA”. CX3CR1⁺CD4⁺ T cells were identified as a cytotoxic ThA subset, as nearly all of these cells specifically expressed granzyme B. …”

miR-149-3p Is a Potential Prognosis Biomarker and Correlated with Immune Infiltrates in Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma by Xiaoyuan Lu, Li Jing, Sicong Liu, Haihong Wang, Buze Chen

“…MiR-149-3p may be involved in the occurrence and development of UCEC via pathways including PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, Ras signaling pathway, AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications, focal adhesion, and MAPK signaling pathway. miR-149-3p may inhibit the function of CD8 T cells, cytotoxic cells, eosinophils, iDC, mast cells, neutrophils, NK CD56bright cells, NK CD56dim cells, pDC, T cells, T helper cells, TFH, Th17 cells, and Treg. miR-149-3p was significantly upregulated in UCEC cell lines compared with endometriotic stromal cells. …”
