Exosomes in Immune Regulation [PDF]

open access: yesNon-Coding RNA, 2021
Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles mediate intercellular communication by transferring their cargo including DNA, RNA, proteins and lipids from cell to cell. Notably, in the immune system, they have protective functions. However in cancer, exosomes acquire new, immunosuppressive properties that cause the dysregulation of immune cells and immune ...

The antitumor effect induced by an IL-2 ‘no-alpha’ mutein depends on changes in the CD8+ T lymphocyte/Treg cell balance

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
High doses of interleukin-2 (IL-2) have been used for the treatment of melanoma and renal cell carcinoma, but this therapy has limited efficacy, with a ~15% response rate. Remarkably, 7%–9% of patients achieve complete or long-lasting responses.

Modulation of inflammatory responses by gastrointestinal Prevotella spp. – From associations to functional studies

open access: yesInternational Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2021
Numerous studies have associated alterations in the gut microbiota composition with almost every known inflammatory disease. However, proving the biological relevance of distinct microbial signatures and linking specific microorganisms to host phenotypes,

Risk of Macrophage Activation Syndrome in Patients with Adult-Onset Still’s Disease Treated with IL-1 and IL-6 Inhibitors: A Meta-analysis and Single-Center Experience

open access: yesRheumatology and Therapy, 2023
Introduction Patients with adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD) are at risk of developing macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), a life-threatening condition. Some cases of MAS have been reported following the use of biological agents, highlighting the need

The PRY/SPRY domain of pyrin/TRIM20 interacts with β2-microglobulin to promote inflammasome formation

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Pyrin/TRIM20 is expressed in the neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages and regulates caspase-1 activation and interleukin-1β maturation. Although the mutations in the PRY/SPRY domain of pyrin cause familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), the mechanism of how

Siglecs and Immune Regulation [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Immunology, 2012
Sialic acid–binding Ig-like lectins, or Siglecs, vary in their specificity for sialic acid–containing ligands and are mainly expressed by cells of the immune system. Many Siglecs are inhibitory receptors expressed in innate immune cells that regulate inflammation mediated by damage-associated and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs and PAMPs).

A strong immune response in young adult honeybees masks their increased susceptibility to infection compared to older bees [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Honeybees, Apis mellifera, show age-related division of labor in which young adults perform maintenance ("housekeeping") tasks inside the colony before switching to outside foraging at approximately 23 days old. Disease resistance is an important feature

HLA class Ib molecules and immune cells in pregnancy and preeclampsia

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2014
Despite decades of research, the highly prevalent pregnancy complication preeclampsia, ‘the disease of theories’, has remained an enigma. Indeed, the etiology of preeclampsia is largely unknown.
