The transcription of the alarmin cytokine interleukin-1 alpha is controlled by hypoxia inducible factors 1 and 2 alpha in hypoxic cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2012
During hypoxia, cells undergo transcriptional changes to adjust to metabolic stress, to promote cell survival and to induce pro-angiogenic factors. Hypoxia induced factors (HIFs) regulate these transcriptional alterations.

Innate Lymphoid Cells in Helminth Infections—Obligatory or Accessory?

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
ILCs burst onto the immunological scene with their involvement in bacterial and helminth infections. As their influence has emerged, it has become clear that they play a fundamental role in regulating barrier tissue homeostasis and the immune response ...

Do advanced glycation end products contribute to food allergy?

open access: yesFrontiers in Allergy, 2023
Sugars can bind non-enzymatically to proteins, nucleic acids or lipids and form compounds called Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs). Although AGEs can form in vivo, factors in the Western diet such as high amounts of added sugars, processing methods ...

Role of Alarmins in the Pathogenesis of Systemic Sclerosis [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare chronic autoimmune disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Two main subsets of SSc are recognized: (i) diffuse cutaneous SSc with rapidly progressive fibrosis of the skin, lungs, and other internal organs; and (ii) limited cutaneous SSc, which is dominated by vascular manifestations, with skin and

Brain Cells Release Calreticulin That Attracts and Activates Microglia, and Inhibits Amyloid Beta Aggregation and Neurotoxicity

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Calreticulin is a chaperone, normally found in the endoplasmic reticulum, but can be released by macrophages into the extracellular medium. It is also found in cerebrospinal fluid bound to amyloid beta (Aβ).

Alarmin‐induced cell migration [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Immunology, 2013
Alarmins are endogenous, constitutively available, damage‐associated molecular patterns that upon release can mobilize and activate various leukocytes for the induction of innate and adaptive immune responses. For our immune system to function appropriately, it relies on navigating various leukocytes to distinct places at the right time.

Alarmins: awaiting a clinical response [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Investigation, 2012
Alarmins are endogenous molecules that are constitutively available and released upon tissue damage and activate the immune system. Current evidence indicates that uncontrolled and excessive release of alarmins contributes to the dysregulated processes seen in many inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, as well as tumorigenesis and cancer spread ...

The Involvement of Alarmins in the Pathogenesis of Sjögren’s Syndrome [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects exocrine glands, primarily the salivary and lachrymal glands. It is characterized by lymphoplasmacytic infiltration of the glandular tissues, ultimately leading to their dysfunction and destruction. Besides classic dry eyes and dry mouth defined as sicca syndrome, patients affected by

IL-33 in Mental Disorders

open access: yesMedicina, 2021
Mental disorders are common in the general population; every year about 25% of the total European population is affected by a mental condition. The prevalence of psychiatric disorders might be underestimated.

Critical and diverse role of alarmin cytokines in parasitic infections

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Alarmin cytokines including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) function as danger signals to trigger host immunity in response to tissue injury caused by pathogenic factors such as parasitic infections.
