In vitro models of cancer‐associated fibroblast heterogeneity uncover subtype‐specific effects of CRISPR perturbations

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Development of therapies targeting cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) necessitates preclinical model systems that faithfully represent CAF–tumor biology. We established an in vitro coculture system of patient‐derived pancreatic CAFs and tumor cell lines and demonstrated its recapitulation of primary CAF–tumor biology with single‐cell transcriptomics ...

Functional and Phenotypic Characterization of Siglec-6 on Human Mast Cells

Cells, 2022
Mast cells are tissue-resident cells that contribute to allergic diseases, among others, due to excessive or inappropriate cellular activation and degranulation. Therapeutic approaches to modulate mast cell activation are urgently needed.

'Unlicensed' natural killer cells dominate the response to cytomegalovirus infection. [PDF]

, 2010
Natural killer (NK) cells expressing inhibitory receptors that bind to self major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I are 'licensed', or rendered functionally more responsive to stimulation, whereas 'unlicensed' NK cells lacking receptors for self ...

Mast Cells as a Target—A Comprehensive Review of Recent Therapeutic Approaches

Cells, 2023
Mast cells (MCs) are the immune cells distributed throughout nearly all tissues, mainly in the skin, near blood vessels and lymph vessels, nerves, lungs, and the intestines.

DEL‐1 is an Endogenous Senolytic Protein that Inhibits Senescence‐Associated Bone Loss

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Senescent bone marrow stromal cells accumulate in the aging bone microenvironment, promoting bone degeneration. DEL‐1, an endogenous secreted protein, acts as a natural senolytic that selectively eliminates these cells. By engaging a β3 integrin/CD73/adenosine/p38 MAPK/BCL‐2 pathway, DEL‐1 counters aging‐related bone loss, revealing promising ...

Syntaxin-4 and SNAP23 are involved in neutrophil degranulation, but not in the release of mitochondrial DNA during NET formation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Neutrophils are a specialized subset of white blood cells, which have the ability to store pre-formed mediators in their cytoplasmic granules. Neutrophils are well-known effector cells involved in host protection against pathogens through diverse ...

Retinoic Acid Reprograms Mast Cells Toward a Proinflammatory State to Enhance Antitumor Immunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Proinflammatory mast cells represent an MHC‐IIhigh, cytokine‐producing mast cell subset associated with improved survival and enhanced responses to anti‐PD‐1 therapy. Retinoic acid drives their polarization, enabling antigen uptake and presentation, and T cell recruitment and activation, collectively promoting adaptive anti‐tumor immunity.

ANTIMICROBIC MECHANISMS OF NEUTROPHILES AS PERSPECTIVE TARGETS FOR PHARMACOLOGICAL MODULATION OF NON-SPECIFIC PROTECTION OF THE ORGANISM

Журнал микробиологии, эпидемиологии и иммунобиологии, 2019
Key roles in nonspecific protection of the macroorganism are played by neutrophils — the most numerous pool of leukocytes. During the development of infection these cells phagocytose of microorganisms and also secrete proteolytic enzymes that destroy ...
