SGK1 Governs the Reciprocal Development of Th17 and Regulatory T Cells
A balance between Th17 and regulatory T (Treg) cells is critical for immune homeostasis and tolerance. Our previous work has shown Serum- and glucocorticoid-induced kinase 1 (SGK1) is critical for the development and function of Th17 cells. Here, we show

Checkpoint Receptor TIGIT Expressed on Tim-1+ B Cells Regulates Tissue Inflammation
Summary: Tim-1, a phosphatidylserine receptor expressed on B cells, induces interleukin 10 (IL-10) production by sensing apoptotic cells. Here we show that mice with B cell-specific Tim-1 deletion develop tissue inflammation in multiple organs including ...

Regulation of splenic monocyte homeostasis and function by gut microbial products
Summary: Splenic Ly6Chigh monocytes are innate immune cells involved in the regulation of central nervous system-related diseases. Recent studies have reported the shaping of peripheral immune responses by the gut microbiome via mostly unexplored ...

Persistent effects of early infant diet and associated microbiota on the juvenile immune system. [PDF]
Early infant diet has significant impacts on the gut microbiota and developing immune system. We previously showed that breast-fed and formula-fed rhesus macaques develop significantly different gut microbial communities, which in turn are associated ...

A multi-factorial genetic model for prognostic assessment of high risk melanoma patients receiving adjuvant interferon [PDF]
Purpose: IFNa was the first cytokine to demonstrate anti-tumor activity in advanced melanoma. Despite the ability of high-dose IFNa reducing relapse and mortality by up to 33%, large majority of patients experience side effects and toxicity which ...

RBPJ Controls Development of Pathogenic Th17 Cells by Regulating IL-23 Receptor Expression
Interleukin-17 (IL-17)-producing helper T cells (Th17 cells) play an important role in autoimmune diseases. However, not all Th17 cells induce tissue inflammation or autoimmunity. Th17 cells require IL-23 receptor (IL-23R) signaling to become pathogenic.

Virologic failure and second-line antiretroviral therapy in children in South Africa--the IeDEA Southern Africa collaboration [PDF]
Article approval pendingWith expanding pediatric antiretroviral therapy (ART) access, children will begin to experience treatment failure and require second-line therapy. We evaluated the probability and determinants of virologic failure and switching in
