Staphylococcus aureus Activates the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor in Human Keratinocytes

Journal of Innate Immunity, 2022
Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen causing various infections, including – as most frequently isolated bacterium – cutaneous infections. Keratinocytes as the first barrier cells of the skin respond to S.

The Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor [PDF]

Transplantation, 2013
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), which has been central to studies in toxicology for years as the receptor for the toxicant dioxin, is rapidly gaining interest in immunology based on its ability to influence T-cell differentiation. Multiple studies have documented that binding of this receptor with certain ligands favors T-cell differentiation ...

Multi‐Component Functionalized Bifidobacterium Longum Hydrogel for Multi‐Target Integrated Therapy of Colitis‐Associated Anxiety and Depression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A pH/MMP dual‐responsive Bifidobacterium longum (BL) hydrogel (INPs@BL@Gel) functionalized with baicalin, tyrosine, and inulin is constructed. It enables gastric protection, inflammation‐targeted release, and prolonged intestinal colonization. By remodeling gut microbiota, elevating beneficial neuroactive metabolites (homovanillic acid, short‐chain ...

The Role of the Gut Microbiota in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo‐HCT) is an effective treatment for patients with high‐risk hematologic malignancies. Over the last decade, gut microbiota composition during allo‐HCT has been associated with patients' outcomes.

Antioxidant Functions of the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor [PDF]

Stem Cells International, 2016
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a transcription factor belonging to the basic helix‐loop‐helix/PER‐ARNT‐SIM family. It is activated by a variety of ligands, such as environmental contaminants like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or dioxins, but also by naturally occurring compounds and endogenous ligands.

Chronic alcohol consumption compromises gut barrier integrity and promotes endotoxemia: Implications for sepsis susceptibility in immunocompromised hosts

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Chronic alcohol exposure disrupts intestinal barrier integrity, resulting in a leaky gut and enhanced translocation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and microbial products into the systemic circulation. Alcohol‐induced endotoxemia drives exaggerated pro‐inflammatory responses, mitochondrial damage, and activation of the cGAS–STING pathway, particularly in ...

Animal models of idiopathic membranous nephropathy: Recent advances and future perspectives

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the evolution of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) animal models from traditional approaches (Heymann nephritis, C‐BSA, APA) to antigen‐specific models (PLA2R, THSD7A), critically evaluating their advances and limitations in replicating human IMN pathology.

Checkpoint Receptor TIGIT Expressed on Tim-1+ B Cells Regulates Tissue Inflammation

Cell Reports, 2020
Summary: Tim-1, a phosphatidylserine receptor expressed on B cells, induces interleukin 10 (IL-10) production by sensing apoptotic cells. Here we show that mice with B cell-specific Tim-1 deletion develop tissue inflammation in multiple organs including ...
