Assessment of Arf6 Deletion in PLB-985 Differentiated in Neutrophil-Like Cells and in Mouse Neutrophils: Impact on Adhesion and Migration by Jouda Gamara, Lynn Davis, Emmanuelle Rollet-Labelle, Tsunaki Hongu, Yuji Funakoshi, Yasunori Kanaho, Fawzi Aoudjit, Sylvain G. Bourgoin

“…Using the Elane-Cre deleting mouse strains, we report that the level of Arf6 deletion in inflammatory PMNs isolated from the dorsal air pouches was stronger when compared to naïve cells isolated from the bone marrow. In PMN-Arf6 cKO mice, the recruitment of PMNs into the dorsal air pouch injected with LPS or the chemoattractant fMLP was significantly diminished. …”

Increased Co-Expression of PD-L1 and CTLA-4 Predicts Poor Overall Survival in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia Following Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation by Chen C, Qiu K, Chen J, Wang S, Zhang Y, Wang C, Li Y

“…This study aims to investigate the significance of the alteration of IC co-expression for evaluating the prognosis of AML patients following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Patients and Methods: Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) data of bone marrow (BM) samples from 62 de novo AML patients, including 37 patients who received allo-HSCT and 25 patients who received chemotherapy only, were used for prognostic analysis.Results: High expression of PD-1, PD-L1, PD-L2, CTLA-4, and LAG-3 was associated with poor overall survival (OS) in AML patients receiving allo-HSCT, while the expression levels of PD-1, PD-L2, CTLA-4, and LAG-3, other than PD-L1, were not significantly correlated with OS in AML patients receiving chemotherapy. …”
