Absence of c-Maf and IL-10 enables type I IFN enhancement of innate responses to LPS in alveolar macrophages. [PDF]
Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are lung-resident myeloid cells and airway sentinels for inhaled pathogens and environmental particles. While AMs can be highly inflammatory in response to respiratory viruses, they do not mount pro-inflammatory responses to ...

Differential metabolic requirement governed by transcription factor c-Maf dictates innate γδT17 effector functionality in mice and humans. [PDF]
Cellular metabolism has been proposed to govern distinct γδ T cell effector functions, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We show that interleukin-17 (IL-17)–producing γδ T (γδT17) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ)–producing γδ T (γδT1) cells

Blimp-1 and c-Maf regulate <i>Il10 and </i>negatively regulate common and unique proinflammatory gene networks in IL-12 plus IL-27-driven T helper-1 cells. [PDF]
Background CD4 + Th1 cells producing IFN-γ are required to eradicate intracellular pathogens, however if uncontrolled these cells can cause immunopathology.

Blimp-1 and c-Maf regulate immune gene networks to protect against distinct pathways of pathobiont-induced colitis. [PDF]
Intestinal immune responses to microbes are controlled by the cytokine IL-10 to avoid immune pathology. Here, we use single-cell RNA sequencing of colon lamina propria leukocytes (LPLs) along with RNA-seq and ATAC-seq of purified CD4+ T cells to show ...

Transcription factor c-Maf is a checkpoint that programs macrophages in lung cancer. [PDF]
Macrophages have been linked to tumor initiation, progression, metastasis and treatment resistance. However, the transcriptional regulation of macrophages driving the pro-tumor function remains elusive.

Targeting the Liquid–Liquid Separation Region of c‐Maf for Treating Chromosomal Translocations in Multiple Myeloma [PDF]
Multiple myeloma (MM), as an incurable hematologic malignancy, is driven by chromosomal translocations. Recent research suggests that targeting phase separation may offer a new therapeutic vulnerability for MM.

A Notch/STAT3-driven Blimp-1/c-Maf-dependent molecular switch induces IL-10 expression in human CD4+ T cells and is defective in Crohn´s disease patients. [PDF]
Immunosuppressive Interleukin (IL)−10 production by pro-inflammatory CD4+ T cells is a central self-regulatory function to limit aberrant inflammation.

Reciprocal regulation of C-Maf tyrosine phosphorylation by Tec and Ptpn22. [PDF]
C-Maf plays an important role in regulating cytokine production in TH cells. Its transactivation of IL-4 is optimized by phosphorylation at Tyr21, Tyr92, and Tyr131. However, the molecular mechanism regulating its tyrosine phosphorylation remains unknown.

Deletion of Cdk5 in Macrophages Ameliorates Anti-Inflammatory Response during Endotoxemia through Induction of C-Maf and Il-10. [PDF]
Immune response control is critical as excessive cytokine production can be detrimental and damage the host. Interleukin-10 (Il-10), an anti-inflammatory cytokine produced primarily by macrophages, is a key regulator that counteracts and controls ...
