Low-Dose Rapamycin Unmasks the Protective Potential of Targeting Intragraft NF-κB for Islet Transplants

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2013
Islet grafts can contribute to their own destruction via the elaboration of proinflammatory genes, many of which are transcriptionally regulated by nuclear factor κ-light-chain-enhancer of activated B-cells (NF-κB).

CD45 pre-exclusion from the tips of T cell microvilli prior to antigen recognition

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
CD45 limits T cell activation, so its exclusion from the T cell immunological synapse is thought to occur as a means to enable TCR signalling. Here the authors use a variety of cellular imaging methods to show that CD45 is indeed excluded from the tips ...

IL-21 drives expansion and plasma cell differentiation of autoreactive CD11chiT-bet+ B cells in SLE

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with altered B cell responses but the underlying aetiology is still unclear. Here the authors show that a CD11chiT-bet+ B cell subset with a unique phenotype and transcriptome is increased in patients with

Mucosa-Environment Interactions in the Pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Mucosal surfaces play a central role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Several risk factors, such as cigarette smoking, environmental pollution, and periodontitis interact with the host at the mucosal level, triggering immune system ...

The Effect of BAFF Inhibition on Autoreactive B-Cell Selection in Murine Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

open access: yesMolecular Medicine, 2016
The goal of this study was to determine how B-cell-activating factor of the TNF family (BAFF) availability influences selection of the autoreactive B-cell repertoire in NZB/W and NZW/BXSB lupus-prone mice bearing the site-directed heavy-chain transgene ...

MALT1 proteolytic activity suppresses autoimmunity in a T cell intrinsic manner [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
MALT1 is a central signaling component in innate and adaptive immunity by regulating NF-kappa B and other key signaling pathways in different cell types. Activities of MALT1 are mediated by its scaffold and protease functions.

Peripheral blood biomarkers in multiple sclerosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Multiple sclerosis is the most common autoimmune disorder affecting the central nervous system. The heteroge-neity of pathophysiological processes in MS contributes to the highly variable course of the disease and unpre-dictable response to therapies ...

Altered function and differentiation of age-associated B cells contribute to the female bias in lupus mice

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Autoimmunity mediated by age-associated B cells (ABC) can affect males and females differently. Here, using a lupus-like mouse model that affects females more severely, the authors observe an ABC mediated and guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF ...

CD28 between tolerance and autoimmunity: The side effects of animal models [version 1; referees: 2 approved] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Regulation of immune responses is critical for ensuring pathogen clearance and for preventing reaction against self-antigens. Failure or breakdown of immunological tolerance results in autoimmunity.
