Candida albicans-Induced NETosis Is Independent of Peptidylarginine Deiminase 4

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Neutrophils are the most abundant innate immune cells and the first line of defense against many pathogenic microbes, including the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans.

Neutrophil extracellular traps induced by activated platelets as a cause of neutrophil–platelet aggregation in β‐thalassaemia/haemoglobin E patients

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Abnormal neutrophils and platelets in splenectomised β‐thalassaemia/haemoglobin E (HbE) disease contribute to neutrophil–platelet aggregation, leading to a high risk of thrombus formation. Activated platelets induce neutrophils to generate neutrophil extracellular trap (NETs) via the P‐selectin–P‐selectin glycoprotein ligand‐1 (PSGL1) pathway, which ...

Potential Role of Peptidylarginine Deiminase Enzymes and Protein Citrullination in Cancer Pathogenesis

Biochemistry Research International, 2012
The peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) are a family of posttranslational modification enzymes that catalyze the conversion of positively charged protein-bound arginine and methylarginine residues to the uncharged, nonstandard amino acid citrulline.

Plasma Elastase Screening in Hematological Disease Reveals Its Potential as a Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarker in Hematological Malignancies

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Neutrophil‐extracellular traps are net‐like material released by triggered neutrophils and composed of decondensed chromatin linked to nuclear proteins. Elastase, one of the fourth most represented neutrophil‐specific serine proteases stored in azurophil granules of naïve neutrophils, exerts various actions, including degradation ...

Characterization of the Hypercitrullination Reaction in Human Neutrophils and Other Leukocytes

Mediators of Inflammation, 2015
Autoantibodies against citrullinated proteins are diagnostic for rheumatoid arthritis. However, the molecular mechanisms driving protein citrullination in patients with rheumatoid arthritis remain poorly understood. Using two independent western blotting

Hypoxia‐preconditioned adipose‐derived mesenchymal stem cells‐derived exosomes transferring H19 obstruct neutrophil extracellular traps formation via HOXA5‐mediated inactivation of TLR4/NF‐κB/NLRP3 inflammatory signaling

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
In this study, we uncovered that Hypo‐Exo transferring H19 promoted diabetic wound healing by repressing NETs formation via the miR‐130a/b‐3p/HOXA5 pathway to inactivate the TLR4/NF‐κB/NLRP3 inflammatory signaling. ABSTRACT Background Hypoxia‐stimulated adipose‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs)‐derived exosomes (Hypo‐Exo) have a positive impact on

Peptidyl arginine deiminases: detection and functional analysis of protein citrullination

, 2019
Citrullination is a post-translational modification of arginine that is catalyzed by the protein arginine deiminases (PADs). Abnormal citrullination is observed in many autoimmune diseases and cancers.

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

Study on the role of protein deiminases in the nervous system

, 2011
"Study on the role of protein deiminases in the nervous system" Citrullination (deimination) is the conversion of protein-bound arginine to citrulline. Citrullination is catalyzed by a family of calcium-dependent enzymes, the peptidylarginine deiminases (

Autoimmunity and Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
In a microbe‐driven inflammatory environment, peptidyl‐arginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes from neutrophils and Porphyromonas gingivalis citrullinate both microbial and self‐antigens. B cell presentation of citrullinated or self‐mimicking epitopes activates T cells that assist B cells in antibody isotype switching, affinity maturation, epitope spreading ...
