Chemokines in Kawasaki disease: measurement of CCL2, CCL22 and CXCL10.

Asian Pacific journal of allergy and immunology, 2005
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a childhood-onset vascular disease. In order to determine whether KD is associated with altered chemokine production, we measured CCL2, CCL22, and CXCL10 levels in the serum of KD patients and healthy control subjects. The mean serum concentration of CCL2 in KD subjects was 829.0 +/- 388.2 pg/ml, significantly higher than that ...

Single‐cell atlas of neuroglial dynamics in SNCA‐A53T Parkinson's disease mouse model

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We performed single‐cell RNA sequencing of midbrain and striatal tissues from SNCA‐A53T Parkinson's disease (PD) mice, revealing glia‐enriched PD‐risk gene signatures and disease‐specific subpopulations. Transcriptional dysregulation of key TFs (e.g., Rorb, Foxc1) and enhanced neuroinflammatory signaling (SEMA, CCL, MIF) were identified.

Modeling Catheter‐Associated Bladder Mucosal Adhesion and Microtrauma Using a Human Urothelial Microtissue Model

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Intermittent catheter use can damage the urinary tract and predispose to infection. We deployed a complex human urothelial model to investigate. Catheter contact induced compressive and shear stress causing umbrella cell disruption, reduced barrier function, inflammation and increased cell adhesion to the catheter surface.

Conditional deletion of Ccl2 in smooth muscle cells does not reduce early atherosclerosis in mice

Atherosclerosis Plus
Background and aims: C–C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) is a pro-inflammatory chemokine important for monocyte recruitment to the arterial wall and atherosclerotic plaques. Global knockout of Ccl2 reduces plaque formation and macrophage content in mice,

Modulation of Animal Gut Health by Milk Oligosaccharide

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the composition and structural characteristics of MOs across different mammalian species, and elucidates their roles and mechanisms in maintaining intestinal homeostasis by regulating gut microbiome and enhancing intestinal chemical, physical and immune barriers.

Effects of CCL2 chemokine missense mutations on CCR5 receptor affinity: a computational study in the context of HIV infection regulator discovery

Инфекция и иммунитет
Introduction. HIV entry into host cells requires CD4 receptors and CCR5 co-receptors. Natural CCR5 ligands can inhibit HIV through steric blocking and receptor internalization. Although CCL2 is primarily a CCR2 ligand, emerging evidence suggests possible

Expert Perspectives: Defining and Managing Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Systemic sclerosis–associated interstitial lung disease (SSc‐ILD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in SSc, affecting up to three‐quarters of patients. The disease course is highly heterogeneous, ranging from indolent, nonprogressive forms to rapidly progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF).

Repeated intradermal lipopolysaccharide challenge responses in healthy volunteers: Implications for clinical pharmacology studies

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Intradermal application of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a Toll‐like receptor 4 agonist, induces a local inflammatory response and is used as a human challenge model to evaluate the pharmacodynamics of investigational medicinal products. While currently applied in a single, parallel‐group setting, alternative within‐subject designs involving repeated ...

Targeting neutrophil extracellular traps in metabolic and immune niche: Nanomaterials for diabetes tissue regeneration

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The effects of NETs on regeneration of various diabetic tissues, and strategies targeting NETs for diabetes tissue regeneration. In the diabetic environment, NETs undergo complex metabolic and immune reprogramming, leading to dynamic changes in antibacterial and proinflammatory functions, and affecting regeneration of multiple systemic tissues.
