Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 ObjectivesSemaphorin 4D (Sema4D) is constitutively expressed on T cells and osteoclasts, and regulates T cell proliferation and bone remodeling. In addition, several studies have shown that Sema4D is involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmunity.

AIP limits neurotransmitter release by inhibiting calcium bursts from the ryanodine receptor
Nature Communications, 2017 In this work the authors show that AIP (aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein), a gene frequently mutated in association with pituitary tumors, regulates neurotransmitter release by inhibiting calcium release from ryanodine receptors.

CRISPR/Cas-based screening of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in macrophages with an NF-κB reporter. [PDF]
, 2017 The innate immune system protects against infections by initiating an inducible inflammatory response. NF-κB is one of the critical transcription factors controlling this complex response, but some aspects of its regulation remain unclear.

Role of gut microbiota-derived signals in the regulation of gastrointestinal motility
Frontiers in Medicine, 2022 The gastrointestinal (GI) tract harbors trillions of commensal microbes, called the gut microbiota, which plays a significant role in the regulation of GI physiology, particularly GI motility.

The kynurenine pathway and the brain: challenges, controversies and promises [PDF]
, 2017 Research on the neurobiology of the kynurenine pathway has suffered years of relative obscurity because tryptophan degradation, and its involvement in both physiology and major brain diseases, was viewed almost exclusively through the lens of the well ...

Xenobiotic receptors in mediating the effect of sepsis on drug metabolism
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2020 Sepsis is an infection-induced systemic inflammatory syndrome. The immune response in sepsis is characterized by the activation of both proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory pathways.

Transcriptional regulation of innate lymphoid cells and T cells by aryl hydrocarbon receptor
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor and facilitates immune cell environmental sensing through its activation by cellular, dietary, and microbial metabolites, as well as environmental toxins.

Feline hypersomatotropism and acromegaly tumorigenesis: a potential role for the AIP gene [PDF]
, 2017 Acromegaly in humans is usually sporadic, however up to 20% of familial isolated pituitary adenomas are caused by germline sequence variants of the aryl-hydrocarbon-receptor interacting protein (AIP) gene.

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor and intestinal immunity [PDF]
Mucosal Immunology, 2018 Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix-(bHLH) superfamily of transcription factors, which are associated with cellular responses to environmental stimuli, such as xenobiotics and oxygen levels. Unlike other members of bHLH, AhR is the only bHLH transcription factor that is known to be ligand activated.
