Airway responses and inflammation in subjects with asthma after four days of repeated high-single-dose allergen challenge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background: Both standard and low-dose allergen provocations are an established tool in asthma research to improve our understanding of the pathophysiological mechanism of allergic asthma.

MafB Transcription Factor Involved in IRD-Induced AKI (Acute Kidney Injury) Phenotype Attenuation and Inflammation Resolution

open access: yesDNA
In this research, we induced acute kidney injury (AKI) by ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), one of its main causes. Then, we assessed kidney dysfunction by CRE (creatinine)/BUN (serum blood urea nitrogen) levels and histological analysis.

TSLP-activated dendritic cells induce human T follicular helper cell differentiation through OX40-ligand. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
T follicular helper cells (Tfh) are important regulators of humoral responses. Human Tfh polarization pathways have been thus far associated with Th1 and Th17 polarization pathways. How human Tfh cells differentiate in Th2-skewed environments is unknown.

c-Maf activates the promoter and enhancer of the IL-21 gene, and TGF-β inhibits c-Maf-induced IL-21 production in CD4+ T cells [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Leukocyte Biology, 2009
Abstract c-Maf directly induces IL-21 expression by activating IL-21 promoter and CNS-2 enhancer through MARE site and TGF-β suppresses c-Maf-induced IL-21 expression. Previous studies have shown that IL-6 potently induces IL-21 production in CD4+ T cells, whereas TGF-β inhibits IL-6-induced IL-21 production in CD4+ T ...

Combinatorial transcriptional regulation establishes subtype-appropriate synaptic properties in auditory neurons

open access: yesCell Reports
Summary: Neurons develop diverse synapses that vary in content, morphology, and size. Although transcriptional regulators of neurotransmitter identity are known, it remains unclear how synaptic features are patterned among neuronal subtypes.

IL-21 induces IL-22 production in CD4+ T-cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
IL-22 produced by innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and CD4+ T cells plays an important role in host defense and mucosal homeostasis, thus it is important to investigate the mechanisms that regulate IL-22 production.

Mechanisms of immunological tolerance in central nervous system inflammatory demyelination. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Multiple sclerosis is a complex autoimmune disease of the central nervous system that results in a disruption of the balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory signals in the immune system.

Case report: Whole exome sequencing identified a novel mutation (p.Y301H) of MAF in a Chinese family with congenital cataracts

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine
BackgroundCongenital cataracts stand as the primary cause of childhood blindness globally, characterized by clouding of the eye’s lens at birth or shortly thereafter.

The regulation of IL-10 expression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Interleukin (IL)-10 is an important immunoregulatory cytokine and an understanding of how IL-10 expression is controlled is critical in the design of immune intervention strategies.
