Summary: Chitinase 1 (CHIT1) and chitinase 3-like-1 (CHI3L1) play significant roles in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis. Their dysregulated expression is associated with clinical outcomes in patients. They mainly act in alveolar macrophages to regulate fibroproliferative responses through various cellular processes. Therefore, CHIT1 and CHI3L1 could be potential therapeutic targets for treating pulmonary fibrosis.

Summary: Asthma is a chronic disorder characterized by inflammation and bronchial hyperresponsiveness. Chitinases and chitinase-like proteins (CLPs) have been suggested as potential biomarkers for diagnosing asthma and phenotyping the disease. However, the low specificity of these biomarkers limits their practical application.

Summary: The research found that CHI3L1 protein plays an important role in liver fibrosis diseases and is mainly produced by liver macrophages. The study showed that inhibiting CHI3L1 expression can effectively alleviate the inflammatory response and liver fibrosis. This study revealed a new role of CHI3L1 derived from liver macrophages in the progression of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and identified this protein as a potential anti-fibrotic therapeutic target.

Summary: This study assessed the concentration of several biomarkers in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and investigated their diagnostic and prognostic significance. The results showed that higher CSF levels of CHI3L1 and CXCL13 were associated with a higher risk of relapse, MRI activity, and overall disease activity in MS patients. These findings suggest that CSF CHI3L1 and CXCL13 levels can serve as good prognostic biomarkers in MS patients and aid in treatment decisions. The study also found differences in CSF BAFF and APRIL levels between different phases of MS, indicating the modulation of B-cells pathways vary in different disease stages.

Summary: In this study, N-methyl mesoporphyrin IX (NMM) was utilized as a voltammetric probe for the electrochemical detection of G4s. The detection of NMM was achieved by cyclic voltammetry on a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) with a limit of detection (LOD) of 40 nM. The reduction signal of NMM was found to be significantly higher when G4 oligodeoxynucleotides (G4 ODNs) were present compared to single- or double-stranded ODNs or unfolded ODNs capable of forming G4s. Gradual transition from unstructured single strand to G4, induced by increasing concentrations of the G4 stabilizing K+ ions, was detected for the first time using electrochemical methods. Circular dichroism spectroscopy provided support for the obtained results. This work expands on the utilization of electrochemical probes for DNA secondary structure recognition and offers a proof of principle for the development of novel electroanalytical methods for nucleic acid structure studies.
