Clinical Molecular Imaging of Pulmonary CXCR4 Expression to Predict Outcome of Pirfenidone Treatment in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Thorsten Derlin et al.

Summary: Quantitative molecular imaging of pulmonary CXCR4 expression may predict response to pirfenidone treatment and prognosis in patients with IPF. This method could potentially serve as a future biomarker for personalized guidance of antifibrotic treatment.

Circular RNA CircCDH13 contributes to the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis via CircCDH13/miR-296-3p/PTEN axis

Zhibin Zhou et al.

Summary: Circular RNAs play a significant role in osteoarthritis (OA), particularly CircCDH13, which induces chondrocyte apoptosis, promotes extracellular matrix degradation, and inhibits extracellular matrix synthesis in OA cartilage tissues. CircCDH13 acts as a sponge for miR-296-3p and regulates the miR-296-3p-PTEN pathway, contributing to OA pathogenesis. Silencing CircCDH13 reduces chondrocyte apoptosis, inhibits matrix degradation, and promotes matrix synthesis through the miR-296-3p-PTEN pathway, showing promise as a potential target for future OA interventions.

Clusterin Is Associated with Systemic and Synovial Inflammation in Knee Osteoarthritis

Tachatra Ungsudechachai et al.

Summary: This study found that plasma levels of CLU in knee osteoarthritis patients were significantly higher than synovial fluid samples, and increased with the severity of the disease. There were significant positive associations of plasma and synovial fluid CLU levels with radiographic severity of knee OA.

Efficacy and safety of sildenafil added to pirfenidone in patients with advanced idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and risk of pulmonary hypertension: a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 2b trial

Juergen Behr et al.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of sildenafil added to pirfenidone versus placebo in patients with advanced IPF at risk of pulmonary hypertension. The results showed that sildenafil did not provide a treatment benefit compared to placebo up to 52 weeks, with no new safety signals identified. Further research is needed to determine if specific subgroups of IPF patients might benefit from sildenafil.
