Ultrasound May Suppress Tumor Growth, Inhibit Inflammation, and Establish Tolerogenesis by Remodeling Innatome via Pathways of ROS, Immune Checkpoints, Cytokines, and Trained Immun... by Qian Yang, Ruijing Zhang, Peng Tang, Yu Sun, Candice Johnson, Jason Saredy, Susu Wu, Jiwei Wang, Yifan Lu, Fatma Saaoud, Ying Shao, Charles Drummer, Keman Xu, Daohai Yu, Rongshan Li, Shuping Ge, Xiaohua Jiang, Hong Wang, Xiaofeng Yang

“…We made the following findings: (1) LIUS upregulates proinflammatory IGs and downregulates metastasis genes in cancer cells, and LIUS upregulates adaptive immunity pathways but inhibits danger-sensing and inflammation pathways and promote tolerogenic differentiation in bone marrow (BM) cells. (2) LIUS upregulates IGs encoded for proteins localized in the cytoplasm, extracellular space, and others, but downregulates IG proteins localized in nuclear and plasma membranes, and LIUS downregulates phosphatases. (3) LIUS-modulated IGs act partially via several important pathways of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reverse signaling of immune checkpoint receptors B7-H4 and BTNL2, inflammatory cytokines, and static or oscillatory shear stress and heat generation, among which ROS is a dominant mechanism. (4) LIUS upregulates trained immunity enzymes in lymphoma cells and downregulates trained immunity enzymes and presumably establishes trained tolerance in BM cells. (5) LIUS modulates chromatin long-range interactions to differentially regulate IGs expression in cancer cells and noncancer cells. …”

“…We analyzed quantitative and qualitative data on patient and caregiver perceptions of caregiver contributions and explored differences in the reported caregiving experience between rural and urban participants. Results While patient–caregiver dyads showed significant disagreement in the symptoms/medication management domain, with caregivers tending to acknowledge the contribution while patients did not (χ2 (1, 21) = 5.82, p = 0.016), both groups generally showed agreement in their perceptions of caregiver involvement and reported similar levels of involvement across the other six assessed domains. …”
