Larger‐scale enzymatic synthesis of base‐modified DNA is developed using primer extension with KOD(exo‐) DNA polymerase allowing preparation of milligram amounts of the modified DNA sufficient for NMR structural analysis. Milligram (≈200 nmol) scale enzymatic synthesis of base‐modified DNA is developed based on primer extension using easily accessible ...

Identification of small molecule inhibitors of Interleukin-18
Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a pleiotropic pro-inflammatory cytokine belonging to the IL-1 superfamily. IL-18 plays an important role in host innate and adaptive immune defense but its aberrant activities are also associated with inflammatory diseases such ...

HIV induces production of IL-18 from intestinal epithelial cells that increases intestinal permeability and microbial translocation. [PDF]
Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a pleiotropic cytokine of the IL-1 family with multiple context dependent functions. We and others have shown that HIV infection is accompanied by increased circulating levels of IL-18 along with decreased levels of its ...

Abstract Background Inhibition of Nod‐like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome within the central nervous system (CNS) is a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). Objectives This phase 1b open‐label study was conducted in elderly healthy volunteers (HV) and PD patients.

Failure of interferon gamma to induce the anti-inflammatory interleukin 18 binding protein in familial hemophagocytosis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Familial hemophagocytosis (FHL) is a rare disease associated with defects in proteins involved in CD8+ T-cell cytotoxicity. Hyperactivation of immune cells results in a perilous, Th1-driven cytokine storm. We set out to explore the regulation

Natural Killer Cell‐Mediated Antitumor Immunity: Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Applications
NK cells eliminate tumors via cytotoxicity and cytokine secretion. Tumor microenvironment‐driven immunosuppression and metabolic reprogramming subvert NK cells’ cytotoxicity. The current clinical strategies to restore NK activity include ex vivo expansion for adoptive transfer, CAR‐NK engineering, TME‐remodeling agents, immune checkpoint blockade ...

Abstract Chronic histiocytic intervillositis (CHI) is an inflammatory condition of the placenta, characterised by an abnormal, mainly macrophagic infiltrate within the intervillous space. Recent research suggests that CHI results from a ‘maternal‐foetal rejection’ mechanism, because at least some CHI cases fulfil the criteria for antibody‐mediated ...

This study identifies TREM2+ macrophages as key contributors to pathological bone formation in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). These macrophages mediate pathological new bone formation via the CREG1‐IGF2R‐PI3K‐AKT pathway and are regulated by IL‐33 through STAT6 phosphorylation.
