“…NF-κB-RE-Luc transgenic mice were used to construct a CKD mouse model, and changes in fluorescence intensity in mice and isolated kidney tissues were detected within 1–6 days using a small animal live imager. Finally, 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing was used to monitor changes in intestinal flora in CKD patients before and after SSKE treatment.ResultsWe found that SSKE improves renal function, attenuates renal fibrosis, reduces inflammatory factor levels, and decreases damage to intestinal and renal structures in adenine-induced CKD rats. …”

Early assessment of IL8 and PD1+ Treg predicts response and guides treatment monitoring in cemiplimab-treated cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma by Teresa Troiani, Fabiana Napolitano, Luigi Formisano, Roberto Bianco, Daniela Russo, Daniela Esposito, Giuseppe Ercolano, Angela Ianaro, Alberto Servetto, Daniela Claudia Maresca, Marcella Scala, Annarita Amato, Stefania Belli, Claudia Maria Ascione, Angela Vallefuoco, Giovanna Attanasio, Fabio Somma, Silvia Varricchio, Massimo Mascolo, Claudia Costa, Alessia Villani, Massimiliano Scalvenzi, Gianfranco Orlandino

“…Similar to tissue findings, no changes were observed in the whole T regulatory (Treg) population, although PD1+ Tregs, which were downregulated in responder patients (vs T0), showed a rebound enrichment in non-responders after three cycles of cemiplimab. Finally, IL8 mirrored the tissue results, unlike IL1β, with early (T1) and then sustained (T3) downregulation of its levels in responder patients, while increased in non-responders.Conclusions Taken together, these findings shed light on the significance of early transcriptomic and immune cell modulation in predicting responses to cemiplimab therapy. …”
