Effects of Clostridium difficile Toxin A and B on Human T Lymphocyte Migration

Toxins, 2013
Bacterial products such as toxins can interfere with a variety of cellular processes, leading to severe human diseases. Clostridium difficile toxins, TcdA and TcdB are the primary contributing factors to the pathogenesis of C.

Advanced extracellular vesicle immunotherapy

FlexMat, EarlyView.
A diagrammatic depiction of the therapeutic applicability of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in immunotherapy. This review explores the dual roles of tumor‐derived and immune cell‐derived EVs in cancer immunotherapy, discusses recent progress in EV engineering that improve their clinical utility, and evaluates their potential to augment existing ...

Napabucasin transforms liver microenvironment and boosts immunotherapy efficacy by converting potential metastases into “hot” tumors

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Napabucasin reduces liver metastases by reprogramming the hepatic microenvironment. It induces hepatocyte secretion of CCL21 via c‐Fos activation, recruiting lymphocytes and converting “cold” metastases into immunologically “hot” tumors. This effect is liver‐specific and independent of cancer cells.

Forsythiaside A Alleviates Kidney Injury and Intestinal Epithelium Dysfunction in IgA Nephropathy by Inhibiting TLR4/NF‐κB Signaling

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT IgA nephropathy (IgAN), the most common form of glomerulonephritis, is a major and growing public health issue. It results from intestinal barrier dysfunction that leads to mesangial deposition of pathogenic galactose‐deficient IgA1 (Gd‐IgA1) and renal inflammation.

Circadian Immunity and Vascular Inflammation in Cardiovascular Disease Chronotherapy Windows: Time for a Re‐Assessment

Med Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circadian rhythms orchestrate cardiovascular physiology by regulating immune and inflammatory pathways. Disruption of these rhythms profoundly alters vascular homeostasis, thereby promoting the onset and progression of cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

Acrolein Promotes Retinal Inflammation Through Macrophage Chemotaxis by Inducing CCL2 Production From Müller Cells. [PDF]

FASEB J
Patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy show elevated vitreous levels of the acrolein adduct FDP‐lys and CCL2. In rat Müller glial cells (TR‐MUL5), acrolein increases Ccl2 gene expression and CCL2 secretion and promotes macrophage migration.

Human Cyclophilins—An Emerging Class of Drug Targets

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cyclophilins are a family of enzymes with peptidyl‐prolyl isomerase activity found in all cells of all organisms. To date, 17 cyclophilin isoforms have been identified in the human body, participating in diverse biological processes. Consequently, cyclophilins have emerged as promising targets for drug development to address a wide array of ...

Deciphering the Heterogeneity of Pulmonary Macrophages in Response to Fine Particles

Small, EarlyView.
This study introduces a dual‐labeled gold nanoparticle model to capture particle–responsive cells via integrating fluorescence‐activated cell sorting and single‐cell RNA sequencing. Fourteen macrophage subsets are identified with response and function heterogeneity, among which AMs_3, AMs_7, and recMacs_4 subsets show stronger phagocytic activation ...

Tumor angiogenic switch determines sustained proliferative malignant transformation in tumorigenesis and overlaps with para-inflammatory phenomena [PDF]

, 2015
Contextual BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase over-activity determines in formulated fashion the emergence of proliferation and anti-apoptosis that arise largely as derived phenomena of otherwise homeostatic mechanisms of the c-ABL gene within hematopoietic ...

Brain Pericytes and Wnt/β‐Catenin Signaling Induce Functional Blood–Brain Barrier Phenotype in Human iPSC‐Derived Model

Small Methods, EarlyView.
This study shows that human iPSC‐derived endothelial cells acquire a functional blood–brain barrier phenotype when co‐cultured with brain pericytes and stimulated with CHIR‐99021, a Wnt/β‐catenin activator. This model recapitulates key barrier properties, inflammatory responses, and transcriptomic features of the native human BBB, offering new ...
