TL;DR: Two IMTs with a novel ALK fusion that involves the Ran‐binding protein 2 (RANBP2) gene at 2q13 are described, which normally encodes a large nucleopore protein localized at the cytoplasmic side of the nuclear pore complex.
Abstract: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare mesenchymal proliferation of transformed myofibroblasts, with a prominent inflammatory cell component, that can mimic other spindle cell processes such as nodular fasciitis, desmoid tumor, and gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Genetic analyses have recently demonstrated rearrangements of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), located at 2p23, in a subset of IMTs. Molecular characterizations have identified ALK fusions involving tropomyosin-3 and -4 (TPM-3 and -4), the clathrin heavy chain (CLTC), and the cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase (CARS) genes as fusion partners. Here we describe two IMTs with a novel ALK fusion that involves the Ran-binding protein 2 (RANBP2) gene at 2q13, which normally encodes a large (358-kDa) nucleopore protein localized at the cytoplasmic side of the nuclear pore complex. The N-terminal 867 residues of RANBP2 are fused to the cytoplasmic segment of ALK in the 1,430-amino acid RANBP2-ALK chimeric protein. Myofibroblasts that express RANBP2-ALK exhibit nuclear membrane-associated ALK staining that is unique compared to the subcellular localization observed with other ALK fusions in IMT, presumably attributable to heteroassociation of the fusion with normal RANBP2 at the nuclear pore. These findings expand the spectrum of ALK abnormalities observed in IMT and further confirm the clonal, neoplastic nature of these lesions.

TL;DR: Dupilumab blocks the shared receptor component for interleukin (IL)‐4 and IL‐13 and is approved in the U.S.A. for patients aged ≥ 12 years with moderate‐to‐severe atopic dermatitis (AD) uncontrolled by topical prescription medicines or who cannot use topical medicines.
Abstract: Background
Dupilumab blocks the shared receptor component for interleukin (IL)‐4 and IL‐13. It is approved in the U.S.A. for patients aged ≥ 12 years with moderate‐to‐severe atopic dermatitis (AD) uncontrolled by topical prescription medicines or who cannot use topical medicines, for patients in Japan whose AD is uncontrolled with existing therapies, for patients with moderate‐to‐severe AD in Europe who are candidates for systemic therapy and for patients aged ≥ 12 years for maintenance treatment of moderate‐to‐severe asthma uncontrolled with their current medicines. AD trials have reported increased incidence of conjunctivitis for dupilumab vs. placebo.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the bulk of LPA produced through platelet activation results from the sequential cleavage of phospholipids to lysophospholIPids by released phospholIPases A1 and A2 and then to LPA by plasma lysphospholipase D.
