Inhibition of mouse trypsin isoforms by SPINK1 and effect of human pancreatitis-associated mutations

Nataly C. Morales Granda, Vanda Toldi, Mario Miczi, Meriam Lassoued, Andras Szabo

Summary: This study aimed to characterize the inhibitory activity of mouse SPINK1 against different trypsin isoforms and investigate the functional consequences of human pancreatitis-associated SPINK1 mutations in the mouse inhibitor. The results showed that both human SPINK1 and its mouse ortholog inhibited mouse trypsins efficiently, with the exception of T7 trypsin. Chronic pancreatitis-associated human SPINK1 mutations impaired SPINK1 binding to trypsin in the mouse inhibitor.

Pancreaticopleural fistula in a child with chronic pancreatitis harboring compound SPINK1 variants

Teera Kijmassuwan, Prapun Aanpreung, Varayu Prachayakul, Prakarn Tovichien

Summary: Pancreaticopleural fistula (PPF) is a rare but serious complication of chronic pancreatitis (CP) that requires high clinical suspicion, especially in children. High pleural fluid amylase levels and radiological imaging play essential roles in diagnosis, with Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) being the imaging modality of choice. Endoscopic therapy and surgery are treatment options for patients who do not respond to conservative approaches.

Auer, Christine Ambrosone, Siddhartha Yadav, Steven N. Hart, Eric C. Polley, Susan M. Domchek, Fergus J. Couch

Summary: This study identified the prevalence of germline pathogenic variants (PVs) in established breast cancer predisposition genes in women over age 65 years. It found that women with PVs in BRCA1, BRCA2, and PALB2 have an increased risk of breast cancer. The study suggests that genetic testing should be considered for women diagnosed with triple-negative or ER-negative breast cancer, and MRI screening may be beneficial for women over age 65 with certain PVs.

The c.323 G>C mutation in LORICRIN causes new-found late-onset autosomal dominant loricrin keratoderma in a Chinese Han Pedigree

Xiaojie Gao, Hua Li, Songhua Zhao, Xiabin Li, Jiao Zhao, Yang Long, Jun Zhang, Yongmei Liao, Shengbiao Li, Kai Guo, Jingyan Yi, Shaokun Chen, Mingyi Ma

Summary: This study identified a rare pedigree with loricrin keratoderma carrying a c.323 G>C mutation, which exhibited late-onset and progressive skin symptoms. Further investigation revealed that this mutation may lead to the accumulation of loricrin in the cytoplasm, disrupting the normal functions of keratinocytes.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, clinical manifestation, and outcomes of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) in Taiwanese patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The results showed a prevalence rate of 1.57% for PSC in Taiwanese IBD patients. The majority of patients with IBD and PSC were men and were diagnosed at a younger age. Routine evaluation of biliary enzymes and liver imaging is recommended in young male patients with IBD.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the perceptions of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The results showed that patients were concerned about adverse events from vaccination, higher risks of developing severe COVID-19, and COVID-19 infection compared to the general population. Some patients self discontinued IBD medication during the pandemic, leading to worse symptoms. However, after receiving education, the anxiety levels of the patients were mitigated.

Pancreatic cancer-derived small extracellular vesical ezrin activates fibroblasts to exacerbate cancer metastasis through STAT3 and YAP-1 signaling pathways

Yu-Ting Chang, Hsuan-Yu Peng, Chun-Mei Hu, Sui-Chih Tien, Yi-Ing Chen, Yung-Ming Jeng, Ming-Chu Chang

Summary: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), a major component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), play an important role in tumorigenesis, metastasis, and chemoresistance. Tumor-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), which mediate cell-to-cell communication between cancer cells and fibroblasts, are also critical for cancer progression and metastasis. In this study, we found that ezrin (EZR) in PDAC cell-derived sEVs can activate fibroblasts and promote PDAC cell proliferation, invasion, and liver metastasis through the STAT3 and YAP-1 signaling pathways.

Summary: This study investigated the current approaches and practices of physicians regarding vaccinations for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients in different Asian countries/regions. The results showed similarities among countries/regions in terms of recognizing the importance of vaccination, but there were differences in the selection and recommendation of certain vaccines, reflecting each country's vaccination guidelines and health insurance. Therefore, more communication among doctors and a consensus regarding IBD vaccination differences in the Asian region are needed.

Diverse genetic spectrum among patients who met the criteria of hereditary breast, ovarian and pancreatic cancer syndrome

Summary: Genetic high-risk assessment combines hereditary breast, ovarian, and pancreatic cancer into one syndrome, but there is a lack of data for comparing the germline mutational spectrum of the cancer predisposing genes between these three cancers. In this study, patients who met the criteria of hereditary breast, ovarian, and pancreatic cancer were enrolled and received multi-gene sequencing. The results showed that the mutation spectrum varies across the three cancer types and family histories, providing guidance for physicians, counselors, and counselees.
