A nongenomic mechanism for progesterone-mediated immunosuppression: Inhibition of K+ channels, Ca2+ signaling, and gene expression in T lymphocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The mechanism by which progesterone causes localized suppression of the immune response during pregnancy has remained elusive. Using human T lymphocytes and T cell lines, we show that progesterone, at concentrations found in the placenta, rapidly and ...

To be (immunosuppressive) or not to be [PDF]

open access: yesNature Reviews Cancer, 2019
Singhal et al. characterized tumour-infiltrating monocyte and macrophage lineage cells in patients with early stage lung cancer and found that, contrary to data in mouse models, the function of these cells might not be primarily immunosuppressive.

Monocytic HLA-DR expression kinetics in septic shock patients with different pathogens, sites of infection and adverse outcomes

open access: yesCritical Care, 2020
Background Decreased monocytic (m)HLA-DR expression is the most studied biomarker of sepsis-induced immunosuppression. To date, little is known about the relationship between sepsis characteristics, such as the site of infection, causative pathogen, or ...

Monocyte Trajectories Endotypes Are Associated With Worsening in Septic Patients

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. The immune system plays a key role in sepsis onset and remains dysregulated over time in a heterogeneous manner.

Mesenchymal stem cell-mediated T cell immunosuppression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Besides being a pool forstromal cells and connective tissues, the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as well exert a potent immunosuppression against almost all types of immune cells, particularly T cells.

A 9-mRNA signature measured from whole blood by a prototype PCR panel predicts 28-day mortality upon admission of critically ill COVID-19 patients

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Immune responses affiliated with COVID-19 severity have been characterized and associated with deleterious outcomes. These approaches were mainly based on research tools not usable in routine clinical practice at the bedside. We observed that a multiplex

Transcriptome modulation by hydrocortisone in severe burn shock: ancillary analysis of a prospective randomized trial

open access: yesCritical Care, 2017
Background Despite shortening vasopressor use in shock, hydrocortisone administration remains controversial, with potential harm to the immune system. Few studies have assessed the impact of hydrocortisone on the transcriptional response in shock, and we

Early herpes and TTV DNAemia in septic shock patients: a pilot study

open access: yesIntensive Care Medicine Experimental, 2019
Background Septic shock patients exhibit an increased incidence of viral reactivation. Precise timing of such reactivation—as an early marker of immune suppression, or as a consequence of the later—is not known precisely.

Understanding sepsis-induced immunosuppression and organ dysfunctions: from immunosuppression to immunotherapy

open access: yesExploration of Immunology, 2022
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by dysregulated host immune response to infection, leading to persistent inflammation followed by immunosuppression.

Macromolecular Immunosuppressants [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnology Journal, 2005
AbstractRecombinant immunosuppressants have come of age and represent a significant class of quite diverse drugs. They target extracellular molecules, and either label or inhibit them. Those targets are soluble factors or membrane proteins almost all of which are components of a very complex molecular network of communication and amplification. Notably,
