C-C Chemokine 21-Expressing T-cell Zone Fibroblastic Reticular Cells, Abundant in Lymph Nodes, Are Absent in Cancer Lymphoid Stroma
Acta Histochem Cytochem. 2024 Apr 25;57(2):67-74. doi: 10.1267/ahc.23-00066. Epub 2024 Apr 4.ABSTRACTCancer tissue generally possesses an immunosuppressive microenvironment. However, some cancers are associated with lymphoid stroma (i.e., a widely developed tertiary lymphoid structure). The T-cell zone (paracortex) of secondary lymphoid organs, particularly lymph nodes, is characterized by an abundance of T-cell zone fibroblastic reticular cells (TCZ-FRCs) that express C-C motif chemokine ligand 21 (CCL21) and smooth muscle actin (SMA). We analyzed the presence of TCZ-FRCs in 30 cases of carcinomas with lymphoid stroma of ...

Clinicopathological Significance and Prognostic Role of High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1), Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) 2 and TLR4 in Breast Cancer
Acta Histochem Cytochem. 2024 Apr 25;57(2):75-83. doi: 10.1267/ahc.24-00006. Epub 2024 Apr 17.ABSTRACTHigh-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) functions as damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMPs), released into extracellular space during cellular stress. Extracellular HMGB1 act as signal molecules through Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 or TLR4, exerting diverse functions in both normal cells and malignant cells including breast cancer. However, their comprehensive examination in breast cancer tissues is lacking. Thus, we immunolocalized them in 112 breast cancer tissues, correlating their immunoreactivity with clinicopathological...

Pathophysiological Implications of Protein Lactylation in Pancreatic Epithelial Tumors
Acta Histochem Cytochem. 2024 Apr 25;57(2):57-66. doi: 10.1267/ahc.24-00010. Epub 2024 Apr 4.ABSTRACTProtein lactylation is a post-translational modification associated with glycolysis. Although recent evidence indicates that protein lactylation is involved in epigenetic gene regulation, its pathophysiological significance remains unclear, particularly in neoplasms. Herein, we investigated the potential involvement of protein lactylation in the molecular mechanisms underlying benign and malignant pancreatic epithelial tumors, as well as its role in the response of pancreatic cancer (PC) cells to gemcitabine. Increased lact...

The link between autophagy and psoriasis
Acta Histochem. 2024 Apr 29;126(4):152166. doi: 10.1016/j.acthis.2024.152166. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAutophagy is a lysosome-dependent, self-renewal mechanism that degrades and recycles cellular components in eukaryotic cells to maintain the homeostasis of the intracellular environment. Psoriasis is featured by increased inflammatory response, epidermal hyperproliferation and abnormal differentiation, infiltration of immune cells and increased expression levels of both endothelial adhesion molecules and angiogenic mediators. Evidence indicates that autophagy has important roles in many different types of cells, such...
