Dectin-1 Activation on Macrophages by Galectin-9 Promotes Pancreatic Carcinoma and Peritumoral Immune-Tolerance

open access: yesNature Network Boston, 2017
The progression of pancreatic oncogenesis requires immune-suppressive inflammation in cooperation with oncogenic mutations. However, the drivers of intratumoral immune tolerance are uncertain. Dectin 1 is an innate immune receptor crucial for anti-fungal

Systemic T Cell Receptor Profiling Reveals Adaptive Immune Activation and Potential Immune Signatures of Diagnosis and Brain Atrophy in Epilepsy

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Epilepsy is increasingly associated with immune dysregulation and inflammation. The T cell receptor (TCR), a key mediator of adaptive immunity, shows repertoire alterations in various immune‐mediated diseases. The unique TCR sequence serves as a molecular barcode for T cells, and clonal expansion accompanied by reduced overall TCR ...

Regulatory B cells in pregnancy: lessons from autoimmunity, graft tolerance, and cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The success of pregnancy is contingent on the maternal immune system recognizing and accommodating a growing semi-allogeneic fetus. Specialized subsets of lymphocytes capable of negative regulation are fundamental in this process, and include the ...

Sea squirts and immune tolerance [PDF]

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2009
Transplantation specificity and protective immunity occur in both adaptive and innate branches of the vertebrate immune system. Understanding the mechanisms that underlie specificity and self-tolerance of immune function has major significance, from preventing a rejection reaction after transplantation to dissecting the causes of autoimmune disease ...

Interleukin‐6 as a Key Biomarker in Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy: Evidence From Longitudinal Analyses

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy type 1 (FSHD1) is a progressive neuromuscular disorder with no approved treatments. Identifying reliable biomarkers is critical to monitor disease severity, activity, and progression. Interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) has been proposed as a candidate biomarker, but longitudinal validation is limited ...

HLA-DRB1 allele distribution in Chilean population: insights into rheumatoid arthritis susceptibility and protection

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
IntroductionRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease influenced by genetic factors, particularly HLA-DRB1 alleles. The objective of this study was to characterize the distribution of HLA-DRB1 alleles in Chilean RA patients and healthy controls (

Regulatory B cells: the cutting edge of immune tolerance in kidney transplantation

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2018
Kidney transplantation is the optimal treatment for end-stage renal diseases. Although great improvement has been achieved, immune tolerance is still the Holy Grail that every organ transplant practitioner pursues.

Relapsing–Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Is Associated With a Dysbiotic Oral Microbiome

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and neurological impairment. While the gut microbiota's role in MS is extensively studied, the association between the oral microbiota and MS remains underexplored, particularly in North American cohorts.

Immune tolerance in multiple sclerosis [PDF]

open access: yesImmunological Reviews, 2011
Summary:  Multiple sclerosis is believed to be mediated by T cells specific for myelin antigens that circulate harmlessly in the periphery of healthy individuals until they are erroneously activated by an environmental stimulus. Upon activation, the T cells enter the central nervous system and orchestrate an immune response against myelin.
