VEXAS, Chediak–Higashi syndrome and Danon disease: myeloid cell endo-lysosomal pathway dysfunction as a common denominator? by Coline Savy, Maxence Bourgoin, Thomas Cluzeau, Arnaud Jacquel, Guillaume Robert, Patrick Auberger

“…In the present review we discuss the possibility that some common clinical manifestations of these diseases, notably the hematopoietic ones are consecutive to a dysfunction of the endo-lysosomal pathway in myeloid/erythroid progenitors and in mature myeloid cells including neutrophiles, monocytes and macrophages. Finally, we propose reacidification as a way of reinducing lysosome functionalities and autophagy as a potential approach for a better management of these diseases.…”

The Long Noncoding RNA LOXL1-AS1 Promotes the Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion in Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Jiang Liu, Chengtong Zhai, Degan Liu, Jianhua Liu

“…What is more, cell migration was also inhibited in vitro in Matrigel Transwell Assay by LOXL1-AS1 knockdown, which might be partly attributed to the reduction of MMP-2 and MMP-9 protein expressions. Finally, cell cycle analysis revealed that knockdown of LOXL1-AS1 induced significantly a G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest, which might be partly attributed to the downregulation of Cdc2, Cdc25A, and cyclin B1 protein expression. …”
