Role of the cyclosporin-sensitive transcription factor NFAT1 in the allergic response

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1997
Proteins belonging to the NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T cells) family of transcription factors are expressed in most immune cell types, and play a central role in the transcription of cytokine genes, such as IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IFN-gamma, TNF ...

Fatal Chronic Varicella‐Zoster Viral Infection in a Young Man With Chediak–Higashi Syndrome

Pediatric Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chediak–Higashi syndrome (CHS) is a rare autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency characterized by partial oculocutaneous albinism, neurologic involvement, and a predisposition to severe infections. Patients are particularly susceptible to developing hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), which significantly worsens prognosis. We report

The role of acquired host immunity in periodontal diseases

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this narrative review is to relate the contribution of European researchers to the complex topic of the host immune system in periodontal disease, focusing on acquired immunity. Other chapters in this volume will address the genetics and autoantibody responses and other forms of immunity to periodontal disease.

Role of BK Virus CTLs in the Treatment of BK Virus–Associated Nephropathy in Kidney‐Transplant and Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Recipients

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Third‐party, BK virus‐specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) were safe and effective in reducing viremia in kidney and stem cell transplant recipients with BK virus nephropathy. However, they did not improve kidney function. Earlier administration may be more beneficial before nephropathy and irreversible damage occur.

Glucose homeostasis changes and pancreatic β-cell proliferation after switching to cyclosporin in tacrolimus-induced diabetes mellitus

Nefrología (English Edition), 2015
Background: Switching to cyclosporin A may result in a reversion of tacrolimus-induced diabetes mellitus. However, mechanisms underlying such a reversion are still unknown.

Adenine nucleotide translocator and ATP synthase cooperate in mediating the mitochondrial permeability transition

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Both ATP synthase and adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) play key roles in mediating the permeability transition. The contribution of ANT becomes evident in the presence of atractylate (ATR) at pH 6.5, a condition that prevents ATP synthase channel activity. At pH 7.4, this effect is minimal, suggesting a critical role for ATP

Lessons to Learn From Low-Dose Cyclosporin-A: A New Approach for Unexpected Clinical Applications

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Cyclosporin-A has been known and used for a long time, since its “fast track” approval in the early 80's. This molecule has rapidly demonstrated unexpected immunosuppressive properties, transforming the history of organ transplantation. Cyclosporin's key

Calciprotein particle‐induced calcium overload triggers mitochondrial dysfunction in endothelial cells

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Calciprotein particles (CPPs) are small calcium‐ and phosphate‐containing nanoaggregates associated with the development of vascular disease (CVD) in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Previously, we have shown that CPPs induce endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction, possibly contributing to CVD in CKD, but the underlying molecular ...
