Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor-type O expression as a prognostic marker in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: A prospective study

Optimal clinical indicators are crucial for evaluating the prognosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In the present study, the potential prognostic value of protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor-type O (PTPRO) expression in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was investigated. Patients diagnosed with ACS were prospectively recruited, and PTPRO expression in mononuclear cells separated from peripheral blood was assessed by western blotting. The prognosis was judged by the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events. Cox regression analyses were performed to assess the association between PTPRO expression and prognosis. In the enrolled 185 patients with ACS, PTPRO expression was lower after PCI compared with that before PCI (P<0.05). Although the pre-PCI PTPRO expression did not differ significantly between the good and poor prognosis groups, PTPRO expression after PCI was significantly lower in the good prognosis group compared with the poor prognosis group (P<0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the prognostic value of post-PCI PTPRO expression was significantly greater than that for pre-PCI PTPRO expression (P<0.05). Cox regression analysis identified high post-PCI PTPRO expression as an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in patients with ACS (P<0.05), and further analysis indicated that the post-PCI PTPRO expression level was associated with the prognosis of patients with ACS (P<0.05). PTPRO expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells after PCI is associated with the prognosis of patients with ACS, with high PTPRO expression indicating a high risk of poor prognosis in patients with ACS.

Regulatory Roles of Tumor Necrosis Factor-α-Induced Protein 8 Like-Protein 2 in Inflammation, Immunity and Cancers: A Review

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8/TIPE) family, including TNFAIP8 (TIPE), TNFAIP8 like-protein 1 (TNFAIP8L1/TIPE1), TNFAIP8 like-protein 2 (TNFAIP8L2/TIPE2), and TNFAIP8 like-protein 3 (TNFAIP8L3/TIPE3), plays a vital role in regulating inflammatory responses, immune homeostasis, and cancer development. Over the last decade, studies have shown that TIPE2 protein is differentially expressed in diverse cells and tissues. The dysregulation of TIPE2 protein can lead to dysregulation of inflammatory responses and immune homeostasis, and change the basic characteristics of cancers. In consideration of the immeasurable values of TIPE2 in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of various human diseases, this review will focus on the expression pattern, structure, and regulatory roles of TIPE2 in inflammation, immunity, and cancers.

The enigmatic role of TIPE2 in asthma

Unlike other members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8/TIPE) family that play a carcinogenic role and regulate apoptosis, TNFAIP8-like 2 (TIPE2) can not only maintain immune homeostasis but also regulate inflammation. TIPE2 mainly restrains the activation of T cell receptor (TCR) and Toll-like receptors (TLR), regulating its downstream signaling pathways, thereby regulating inflammation. Interestingly, TIPE2 is abnormally expressed in many inflammatory diseases and may promote or inhibit inflammation in different diseases. This review summarizes the molecular target and cellular function of TIPE2 in immune cells and inflammatory diseases and the underlying mechanism by which TIPE2 regulates inflammation. The function and mechanism of TIPE2 in asthma is also explained in detail. TIPE2 is abnormally expressed in asthma and participates in the pathogenesis of different phenotypes of asthma through regulating multiple inflammatory cells' activity and function. Considering the indispensable role of TIPE2 in asthma, TIPE2 may be an effective therapeutic target in asthma. However, the available data are insufficient to provide a full understanding of the complex role of TIPE2 in human asthma. Further study is still necessary to explore the possible mechanism and functions of TIPE2 in different asthma phenotypes.
