Innate and adaptive immunity in teleost fish: a review.

open access: yes, 2018
The immune system of fish is very similar to vertebrates, although there are some important dif - ferences. Fish are free-living organisms from the embryonic stage of life in their aquatic environment.

Double-Stranded RNA Sensors and Modulators in Innate Immunity.

open access: yesAnnual Review of Immunology, 2019
Detection of double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) is a central mechanism of innate immune defense in many organisms. We here discuss several families of dsRNA-binding proteins involved in mammalian antiviral innate immunity.

Cytomegalovirus infection is common in prostate cancer and antiviral therapies inhibit progression in disease models

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Human cytomegalovirus infection is common in normal prostate epithelium, prostate tumor tissue, and prostate cancer cell lines. CMV promotes cell survival, proliferation, and androgen receptor signaling. Anti‐CMV pharmaceutical compounds in clinical use inhibited cell expansion in prostate cancer models in vitro and in vivo, motivating investigation ...

Metabolic reprogramming in macrophages and dendritic cells in innate immunity

open access: yesCell Research, 2015
Activation of macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs) by pro-inflammatory stimuli causes them to undergo a metabolic switch towards glycolysis and away from oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), similar to the Warburg effect in tumors.

Endoglin mediates the tumor‐ and metastasis‐promoting traits of stromal myofibroblasts in human breast carcinomas

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Carcinoma‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in tumors influence cancer progression. We identified endoglin (ENG) as a key factor in TGF‐β signaling in myofibroblastic CAFs (myCAFs), linked to poor breast cancer outcomes. Inhibiting ENG on myCAFs suppressed the TGF‐β‐Smad2/3 pathway, reducing primary tumor growth and metastasis.

Interferon Lambda Genetics and Biology in Regulation of Viral Control

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
Type III interferons, also known as interferon lambdas (IFNλs), are the most recent addition to the IFN family following their discovery in 2003. Initially, IFNλ was demonstrated to induce expression of interferon-stimulated genes and exert antiviral ...

Innate Lymphoid Cells in Mucosal Immunity

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are innate counterparts of T cells that contribute to immune responses by secreting effector cytokines and regulating the functions of other innate and adaptive immune cells.

Beyond cytotoxic T cells: reprogrammed regulatory T cells help facilitate response to dual checkpoint blockade

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Rolig, Peng, and colleagues have shed new light on how dual blockade of PD1 and LAG3 enhances antitumor immunity. They found that response to immunotherapy with anti‐PD1 + anti‐LAG3 was associated with reprogramming of canonically suppressive CD4+ regulatory T cells to an inflammatory state.

Encapsulation and Melanization Are Not Correlated to Successful Immune Defense Against Parasitoid Wasps in Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesCells
Parasitoid elimination in Drosophila melanogaster involves special hemocytes, called lamellocytes, which encapsulate the eggs or larvae of the parasitoid wasps. The capsules are melanized, and metabolites of the melanization reaction may play a potential
