Expression and Release of IL-18 Binding Protein in Response to IFN-γ [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2001
AbstractIL-18 and IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP) are two newly described opponents in the cytokine network. Local concentrations of these two players may determine biological functions of IL-18 in the context of inflammation, infection, and cancer. As IL-18 appears to be involved in the pathogenesis of Crohn’s disease and may modulate tumor growth, we

Interplay between circadian and other transcription factors—Implications for cycling transcriptome reprogramming

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This perspective highlights emerging insights into how the circadian transcription factor CLOCK:BMAL1 regulates chromatin architecture, cooperates with other transcription factors, and coordinates enhancer dynamics. We propose an updated framework for how circadian transcription factors operate within dynamic and multifactorial chromatin landscapes ...

Early Investigations and Recent Advances in Intraperitoneal Immunotherapy for Peritoneal Metastasis. [PDF]

, 2018
Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is an advanced stage malignancy largely refractory to modern therapy. Intraperitoneal (IP) immunotherapy offers a novel approach for the control of regional disease of the peritoneal cavity by breaking immune tolerance.

Mechanisms of Inhibition of Collagen-Induced Arthritis by Murine IL-18 Binding Protein [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2003
Abstract IL-18 is an important cytokine in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases through the induction of IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-1. We report herein that collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice is inhibited by treatment with murine IL-18 binding protein (mIL-18BP). CIA was induced in DBA/1J mice by the injection of bovine type II collagen (

Real‐time assay of ribonucleotide reductase activity with a fluorescent RNA aptamer

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ribonucleotide reductases (RNR) synthesize DNA building blocks de novo, making them crucial in DNA replication and drug targeting. FLARE introduces the first single‐tube real‐time coupled RNR assay, which enables isothermal tracking of RNR activity at nanomolar enzyme levels and allows the reconstruction of allosteric regulatory patterns and rapid ...

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha regulates the expression of inducible costimulator receptor ligand on CD34+ progenitor cells during differentiation into antigen presenting cells [PDF]

, 2001
The inducible costimulator receptor (ICOS) is a third member of the CD28 receptor family that regulates T cell activation and function. ICOS binds to a newly identified ligand on antigen presenting cells different from the CD152 ligands CD80 and CD86. We

Vaccinia protein C16 blocks innate immune sensing of DNA by binding the Ku complex [PDF]

, 2011
VACV gene C16L encodes a 37-kDa protein that is highly conserved in orthopoxviruses and functions as an immunomodulator. Intranasal infection of mice with a virus lacking C16L (vΔC16) induced less weight loss, fewer signs of illness and increased ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Molecular mimicry, genetic homology, and gene sharing proteomic “molecular fingerprints” using an EBV (Epstein-Barr virus)-derived microarray as a potential diagnostic method in autoimmune disease [PDF]

, 2018
EBV (Epstein-Barr Virus) and other human DNA viruses are associated with autoimmune syndromes in epidemiologic studies. In this work, immunoglobulin G response to EBV-encoded proteins which share regions with human immune response proteins from the human

The role of histone modifications in transcription regulation upon DNA damage

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review discusses the critical role of histone modifications in regulating gene expression during the DNA damage response (DDR). By modulating chromatin structure and recruiting repair factors, these post‐translational modifications fine‐tune transcriptional programmes to maintain genomic stability.
