Genetic Variants in Cytokines IL-10 and IL-17A Are Associated with the Risk and Severity of Sporadic Parkinson’s Disease in Mexican Patients

open access: yesLife
Background/Objective: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder, in which the inflammatory hypothesis posits that dysregulation of the immune system is an important factor in its etiology.

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Association of IL‐33 in modeling type‐2 airway inflammation and pulmonary emphysema in mice

open access: yesImmunity, Inflammation and Disease
We developed pulmonary emphysema and a type 2 airway inflammation overlap mouse model. The bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) interleukin 13 (IL‐13), IL‐4, and IL‐5 levels in the overlap model were higher than in the pulmonary emphysema model and lower than in

IL-6 and IL-13 secretion by mast cells based on treatment.

open access: yes, 2018
Raw cytokine production for IL-6 (a) and IL-13 (c) normalized as secretion per 106 cells. (b) IL-6 production in resting (no IgE-crosslink) BMMCs only (emphasis from 2a above).

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

Immune and allergic responses to Anisakis pegreffii, with focus on the roles of IL-4, IL-13 and the IL-4 receptor alpha [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Includes bibliographical references (p. 117-127).The fish-parasitizing nematode Anisakis pegreffii induces gastrointestinal disease and allergy when ingested by humans, and can cause occupational allergy in seafood processing workers.

Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Cytokines in Allergic Conjunctivitis: Unraveling Their Pathophysiological Roles

open access: yesLife
Allergic conjunctivitis is one of the common immune hypersensitivity disorders that affect the ocular system. The clinical manifestations of this condition exhibit variability contingent upon environmental factors, seasonal dynamics, and genetic ...

Rab14 regulates the transport of human papillomavirus to the trans‐Golgi network for infectious cell entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.
