Background: Persistent splenomegaly, often an incidental finding, can originate from a number of inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs). Variants APOE are primarily known as risk factors in terms cardiovascular disease; however, severe dysfunction result disease phenotype with considerable overlap lysosomal storage (LSDs), including splenomegaly and gross elevation N-palmitoyl-O-phosphocholine-serine (PPCS). Methods: A case study (deep phenotyping, genetic FACS analysis) literature was conducted. Results: The index patient, family history early-onset disease, presented splenic infarctions grossly enlarged spleen. identified cause homozygosity for two variants (c.604C>T, p.(Arg202Cys) c.512G>A, p.(Gly171Asp); ε1/ε1), resulting macrophage resembling LSD that also present the brother patient. analysis circulating monocytes showed increased lipid content expression activation markers (CD11b, CCR2, CD36). This activated state enhances lipoprotein intake, which eventually converts these monocytes/macrophages into foam cells, accumulating tissues (e.g., spleen vascular wall). search seven individuals caused by (deletion leucine at position 167). combined data all patients male gender, splenectomy obesity potential modifiers determining severity (i.e., degree triglyceride increase plasma and/or size). Symptoms (partially) reversible lipid-lowering medication energy restricted diets is contra-indicated. Conclusions: Inherited dyslipidemic disruptive should be included differential diagnoses unexplained abnormal profiles. profile consistent dysbetalipoproteinemia diagnostic biomarker this IMD.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are new oral drugs for the therapy of patients with type diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Research in past decade has shown that SGLT2i class, such as empagliflozin, canagliflozin, and dapagliflozin, have pleiotropic effects preventing cardiovascular diseases beyond their favorable impact on hyperglycemia.Of clinical relevance, recent landmark outcome trials demonstrated reduce major adverse events, hospitalization heart failure, death T2DM with/without (including atherosclerotic various types failure).The pharmacological action is through inhibiting glucose re-absorption kidney thus promoting excretion.Studies experimental models atherosclerosis ameliorate progression by mechanisms including inhibition vascular inflammation, reduction oxidative stress, reversing endothelial dysfunction, reducing foam cell formation platelet activation.Here, we summarize anti-atherosclerotic actions SGLT2i, an aim to emphasize utility this class agents insidious complications accompanying diabetes.

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder, defined as the growth of endometrial stromal cells and glands at extrauterine sites. Endometriotic lesions are more frequently located into abdominal cavity, although they can also be implanted in distant places. Among its etiological factors, presence immune dysregulation occupies a prominent place, pointing out beneficial harmful outcomes macrophages pathogenesis this disease. Macrophages tissue-resident that connect innate adaptive immunity, playing key role maintaining local homeostasis healthy conditions being critical development sustainment many inflammatory diseases. accumulate peritoneal cavity women with endometriosis, but their ability to clear migrated fragments seems inefficient.

Macrophages are professional phagocytes, indispensable for maintenance of tissue homeostasis and integrity. Depending on their resident tissue, macrophages exposed to highly diverse metabolic environments. Adapted niche, they can contribute local turnover through metabolite uptake, conversion, storage release. Disturbances in caused by infection, inflammation or damage dramatically alter the milieu, impacting macrophage activation status metabolism. In case persisting stimuli, defective responses ensue, which promote disease. Especially relevant herein disbalances lipid rich environments, where crucially involved uptake turnover, preventing lipotoxicity.
