- Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is an aggressive malignancy with limited targeted treatment options and poor clinical outcomes. We developed an AI-driven multi-omics pipeline that links prognostic modeling to multitarget drug repurposing for ESCC. Summary-data-based Mendelian randomization was integrated with bulk transcriptomic datasets to identify esophageal cancer-related druggable genes that are differentially expressed. Cox regression and non-negative matrix factorization were then used to define prognostic genes and molecular subgroups, and a Lasso Cox model with SHapley Additive explanation provided an interpretable prognostic signature. Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis mapped the hub genes interleukin 22 receptor subunit alpha 1 (IL22RA1) and family with sequence similarity 221 member A (FAM221A) to epithelial cell populations and associated them with proliferative and DNA repair programs, supporting their role in tumor progression, supporting their role in ESCC progression. To translate these targets into a therapeutic strategy, we applied machine learning-based drug sensitivity prediction, ADMET-AI toxicity, pharmacokinetic profiling, and molecular docking, which converged on the checkpoint kinase inhibitor AZD7762 (3-(carbamoylamino)-5-(3-fluorophenyl)-N-[(3S)-piperidin-3-yl] thiophene-2-carboxamide) as a promising multitarget inhibitor of IL22RA1 and FAM221A. In vitro assays confirmed that IL22RA1 and FAM221A promote ESCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Taken together, this AI-driven multi-omics framework delivers a prognostic model, defines biologically distinct ESCC subgroups, and nominates AZD7762 as a rational multitarget drug repurposing candidate, providing a precision oncology strategy. - Source: PubMed

Zhuang ZhanYu ShaobinPeng KaimingZhang PeipeiYu JingchuanLin JihongKang Mingqiang - Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) affects >75% of women, with considerable morbidity and high medical cost burden. While Type 17 cytokines (IL-17, IL-22) are critical for oral and dermal immunity to C. albicans, their role in VVC has been less clear. Th17 gene signatures are potently upregulated in VVC, yet impairment of individual Th17 components (IL-17A, IL-17R subunits, IL-22) does not worsen disease. Rather, estrogen activity is tightly linked to VVC, leading to a paradigm that hormonal pathways, rather than immune defense, dominate susceptibility. Here, we reveal a previously unappreciated role for IL-1/Type 17 in VVC that operates independently of estrogenic hormones. In contrast to mice lacking IL-17A, IL-17RA, IL-22, or IL-22R individually, mice lacking IL-17RA and IL-22RA1 together (Il17raIl22ra1-/-) exhibited high fungal loads and exacerbated tissue damage and inflammation during estrogen-induced VVC. In human vulvar epithelial cells, IL-17 and IL-22 drive synergistic signaling. IL-1R signaling but surprisingly not IL-23 was upstream of this response. Il17raIl22ra1-/- mice expressed high IL-1β yet did not control disease, indicating that IL-1 is upstream but not downstream of Type 17 responses. Unexpectedly, Type 17-dependent control occurred in the absence of exogenous estrogen administration and persisted even when estrus was prevented by progesterone treatment. Collectively, these data indicate that susceptibility to VVC is driven not only by estrogen sensitization but through combinatorial loss of IL-17 and IL-22. - Source: PubMed

Li YajuanGao XiaoliZhang YatingGun Shuangbao - Bullous pemphigoid is a chronic autoimmune blistering disease characterized by subepidermal blisters and caused by autoantibodies against BP180 and BP230. Although type 2 inflammation is considered relevant to its pathogenesis, the full spectrum of immune dysregulation in BP remains incompletely defined. - Source: PubMed

Bidirectional and mediation MR analyses were performed using genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics from 3384 CDC cases and 406,048 controls. The primary MR methods included inverse variance weighting (IVW) and MR-Egger regression, with MR-PRESSO applied to detect and correct horizontal pleiotropy. Sensitivity analyses, including leave-one-out tests, were conducted to ensure the robustness of the findings. Mediation analysis was performed using a two-step MR framework to estimate the causal effects of inflammatory proteins on metabolites and, subsequently, the impact of these metabolites on CDC risk. Bidirectional MR identified 2 inflammatory proteins associated with CDC risk. Higher IL-2 receptor subunit beta (IL-2RB) levels were protective against CDC (OR = 0.827, 95% CI = 0.718-0.953, P < .01), whereas increased IL-22 receptor subunit alpha-1 (IL-22RA1) levels elevated CDC risk (OR = 1.300, 95% CI = 1.078-1.570, P < .01). Unidirectional MR identified 11 plasma metabolites associated with CDC, including a positive correlation with spermidine-to-choline ratio. Mediation MR analysis suggested that 17.4% (-6.21%, 41%) of IL-2RB's protective effect on CDC was mediated through this metabolite. Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of these associations. Our findings suggest that higher IL-2RB levels were protective against CDC, while increased IL-22RA1 levels were associated with higher risk. The Spermidine-to-choline ratio partially mediated the protective effect of IL-2RB, suggesting a metabolic link between inflammation and CDC. - Source: PubMed
