撰文丨王聪 编辑丨王多鱼 排版丨水成文 FSTL1 是一种调节外周组织能量代谢的信号分子,也在大脑中表达。然而,下丘脑 FSTL1 是否调节碳水化合物/脂质代谢和能量平衡尚不清楚。 卵泡抑素样蛋白-1 (FSTL1) 是一种参与炎症和组织稳态的分泌因子,最近还被发现与代谢疾病有关。在代谢应激或运动条件下,血清 FSTL1 被认为主要来源 于骨骼肌和脂肪组织。已有报道显示,2 型糖尿病患者的血清 FSTL1 水平升高。 有趣的是,虽然 FSTL1 水平在轻度肥胖时似乎会增加,但在重度肥胖时则会降低。这种模式表明,FSTL1 可能在调节胰岛素抵抗和肥胖方面发挥潜在作用。然 而,FSTL1 是否以及如何在肥胖发展中发挥作用,目前仍不清楚。 2025 年 10 月 21 日,重庆医科大学 杨梦柳 副研究员、 李伶 教授、 杨刚毅 教授及 陆军军医大学第一附属医院(西南医院) 李旻典 教授等,在 Cell 子刊 Neuron 上发表了题为: Reversal of diet-induced obesity by central insulin sensitizer FSTL1 的研究论文。 这项研究表明,下丘脑 FST ...

Core Viewpoint - Recent breakthroughs in xenotransplantation using genetically edited pig organs have sparked global interest in addressing the shortage of human organ transplants [2][3][4]. Group 1: Milestones in Xenotransplantation - In October 2021, NYU Langone Medical Center performed the first successful transplant of a genetically edited pig kidney into a brain-dead woman [2]. - In January 2022, the University of Maryland conducted the first live transplant of a genetically edited pig heart, with the patient surviving for approximately two months [2]. - On March 27, 2025, Chinese scientists published the first case of a genetically edited pig liver transplant into a brain-dead human, with the liver functioning for 10 days without rejection [3]. - On October 8, 2025, the first live transplant of a genetically edited pig liver was successfully performed, with the patient surviving for 171 days, setting a new record [4][5]. Group 2: Technical Aspects of the Research - The genetically edited pig liver used in the transplant underwent rigorous pathogen screening and was modified at 10 genetic sites to prevent rejection [5]. - Key genes were knocked out to prevent acute rejection, while human genes were introduced to enhance immune compatibility [5]. - The patient had a significant liver tumor and was initially deemed unsuitable for surgical removal, making the pig liver a critical transitional therapy [5]. Group 3: Post-Transplant Outcomes - In the first 31 days post-transplant, the patient did not experience acute rejection or severe complications, and liver and kidney functions remained stable [6]. - However, on day 38, the patient developed thrombotic microangiopathy (xTMA), leading to the removal of the pig liver [6]. - Despite successful management of xTMA, the patient ultimately passed away on day 171 due to recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding [6][9]. Group 4: Implications for Future Research - The study demonstrates the feasibility of using pig livers as transitional support for patients with unresectable liver cancer or liver failure [9]. - It highlights the need for further research to improve outcomes in xenotransplantation, particularly regarding xTMA [6][9].

Core Viewpoint - The research indicates that moderate long-term warming alters soil carbon cycling in subtropical forests but maintains carbon sink functionality, showing a two-phase response in soil organic carbon levels [4][5]. Group 1: Research Findings - The study, conducted over nine years, reveals that soil organic carbon (SOC) initially decreases due to the loss of organic carbon bound to minerals in the surface soil during the first four years, followed by an increase in SOC from years six to nine due to enhanced plant carbon input and microbial adaptation to temperature changes [5][7]. - The research suggests that some subtropical forests may continue to accumulate SOC under moderate global warming, although the accumulation patterns of different SOC components vary significantly across soil layers [7]. Group 2: Importance of the Study - Understanding the fate of SOC in tropical and subtropical forests under future warming scenarios is crucial for predicting climate feedback and guiding effective forest management strategies [5]. - The study emphasizes the need for further exploration of plant-soil interactions under warming conditions to better predict SOC responses and develop forest-based strategies for mitigating global climate change [7].

Core Viewpoint - The study identifies CRATER (Cancer regions of antigen presentation and T cell engagement and retention) as critical areas on tumor surfaces that facilitate CD8+ T cell engagement, which is essential for the success of immunotherapy [4][10][11]. Group 1: Key Findings - CRATER regions are described as "hotspots" where CD8+ T cells interact with tumor cells, significantly enhancing immune response [8][10]. - The research utilized live imaging techniques in zebrafish to observe that CD8+ T cells gather in specific depressed areas at the edges of melanoma, indicating targeted engagement rather than random movement [9][10]. - CRATER regions are characterized by a diameter of approximately 20-50 micrometers and are rich in antigen-presenting molecules, which are crucial for T cell activation [11][14]. Group 2: Mechanism of Action - CRATER is an active platform that enhances anti-tumor immune responses, with tumor cells expressing higher levels of antigen-presenting molecules (e.g., MHC-I) within these regions [14]. - The expansion of CRATER during immune stimulation correlates with increased accumulation of activated CD8+ T cells, marking it as a primary site for tumor cell apoptosis [14]. Group 3: Clinical Implications - The density of CRATER regions in melanoma patients correlates with the response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy, suggesting its potential as a predictive biomarker [16]. - Patients who responded to treatment exhibited significantly higher CRATER density in post-operative biopsy samples compared to non-responders [16]. Group 4: Future Directions - The presence of CRATER has been observed in non-small cell lung cancer, indicating its potential relevance across various solid tumors [18]. - The findings may lead to the development of personalized treatment strategies, where CRATER density could guide predictions of patient responses to immunotherapy [18].
