Innate Immune Activity in Glomerular Podocytes [PDF]

, 2017
Glomerular podocytes are specialized in structure and play an essential role in glomerular filtration. In addition, podocyte stress can initiate glomerular damage by inducing the injury of other glomerular cell types.

Development of a Novel Polyleucine‐Based Immunopotentiator for Subunit Vaccines Against Group A Streptococcus

Small, EarlyView.
Self‐assembling amphiphilic peptide L15K6 is used as a novel immunoadjuvant for the development of a Group A Streptococcus vaccine. Robust antigen‐specific IgG responses are generated and manage to kill isolated strains of Group A Streptococcus. Cellular and bulk RNA sequencing data reveals that L15K6 regulates immune responses potentially through TLR ...

Recovery from Cogwheel Rigidity and Akinesia and Improvement in Vibration Sense and Olfactory Perception following Removal of an Epoxy-Oleic Acid DNA Adduct

Case Reports in Medicine, 2017
The epoxy fatty acid cis-12,13-epoxy-oleic acid, which acts as a DNA adduct, may be generated during long-term storage of many seed oils, including those used in cooking, with frying oils and fried foods being a major source in the modern human diet ...

Sequence of Immunological Events During IgE‐Mediated Allergic Reactions to Food

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food allergies (FA) represent a significant global health burden. Upon allergen re‐exposure, allergic patients exhibit a sequence of symptoms that vary in terms of affected organ systems, severity, time of onset and allergen reactivity thresholds.

Mitochondrial N‐formyl peptides cause hypotension via formyl peptide receptor activation (1157.6)

The FASEB Journal, 2014
Hypotension is the major pathophysiological characteristic of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and sepsis. Mitochondrial N‐formyl peptides (F‐MIT) are a damage‐associated molecular pattern that activate the innate immune system via the formyl peptide receptor (FPR). We hypothesized that F‐MIT activates FPR and induces hypotension.

LAT1/SLC7A5‐mediated amino acid uptake is regulated by redox signals triggered by formyl‐peptide receptor 2

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
FPR2 activation mediates NOX‐dependent LAT1 expression and, in turn, promotes mTORC1 signaling. Upon stimulation with WKYMVm, the FPR2‐NOX2‐ROS axis upregulates LAT1 via increased c‐Myc phosphorylation and decreased miR‐126. Additionally, it promotes CD98 translocation to the plasma membrane.

Formyl Peptide Receptor 1 Modulates Endothelial Cell Functions by NADPH Oxidase-Dependent VEGFR2 Transactivation [PDF]

, 2018
In the vasculature, NADPH oxidase is the main contributor of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which play a key role in endothelial signalling and functions. We demonstrate that ECV304 cells express p47phox, p67phox, and p22phox subunits of NADPH oxidase, as

Systemic, Lifestyle and Environmental Modifying Factors in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
A variety of impacting factors in the pathogenesis of periodontitis exist, including systemic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. This review highlights the manifold mechanistic aspects of the link between the pathogenesis of periodontitis, addressing these numerous factors to supplement the long‐standing knowledge of the progression of the disease.

Involvement of the α/β Isoform of p38 MAP Kinase in Chemotactic Responses of Human Eosinophils to Eotaxin (CCL11) and RANTES (CCL5) [PDF]

, 2017
Eosinophils are the principal effector cells for allergic inflammation in a variety of diseases, in which they contribute to tissue damage and remodelling processes via the secretion of cytotoxic granular proteins and cytokines.

Role of Peptide Backbone Conformation on Biological Activity of Chemotactic Peptides [PDF]

, 1991
To investigate the role of peptide backbone conformation on the biological activity of chemotactic peptides, we synthesized a unique analog of N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe-OH incorporating the C α,α disubstituted residue, dipropylglycine (Dpg) in place of Leu ...
