A Journey into the Clinical Relevance of Heme Oxygenase 1 for Human Inflammatory Disease and Viral Clearance: Why Does It Matter on the COVID-19 Scene?

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2022
Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), the rate-limiting enzyme in heme degradation, is involved in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis, exerting a cytoprotective role by its antioxidative and anti-inflammatory functions.

Targeting macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF): a promising therapy for inflammatory ocular diseases

open access: yesJournal of Ophthalmic Inflammation and Infection, 2023
Inflammatory ocular diseases are characterized by the presence of a persistent inflammatory response which cause tissue injury, decrease visual acuity and in severe cases, blindness.

Techniques to Study Inflammasome Activation and Inhibition by Small Molecules

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Inflammasomes are immune cytosolic oligomers involved in the initiation and progression of multiple pathologies and diseases. The tight regulation of these immune sensors is necessary to control an optimal inflammatory response and recover organism ...

Evolutionary analyses of the gasdermin family suggest conserved roles in infection response despite loss of pore-forming functionality

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2022
Background Gasdermins are ancient (>500million-years-ago) proteins, constituting a family of pore-forming proteins that allow the release of intracellular content including proinflammatory cytokines.

Altered insulin secretion dynamics relate to oxidative stress and inflammasome activation in children with obesity and insulin resistance

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine, 2023
Background Insulin resistance (IR) is considered the main driver of obesity related metabolic complications, and is related to oxidative stress and inflammation, which in turn promote each other.

Pin-Pointing the Key Hubs in the IFN-γ Pathway Responding to SARS-CoV-2 Infection

open access: yesViruses, 2022
Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) may be potential adjuvant immunotherapy for COVID-19 patients. In this work, we assessed gene expression profiles associated with the IFN-γ pathway in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Employing a case-control study from SARS-CoV-

Histopathological characterisation of trunk‐dominant canine pemphigus foliaceus, and comparison with classic facial and insecticide‐triggered forms

open access: yesVeterinary Dermatology, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 425-440, October 2023., 2023
Background – While the clinical features were described recently, the histopathological characterisation of trunk‐dominant canine pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is lacking, and whether it differs from classic facial or insecticide‐triggered PF is unknown. Hypothesis/Objectives – This study describes the histopathological findings of trunk‐dominant PF, and ...

CD14 release induced by P2X7 receptor restricts inflammation and increases survival during sepsis

open access: yeseLife, 2020
P2X7 receptor activation induces the release of different cellular proteins, such as CD14, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein to the plasma membrane important for LPS signaling via TLR4.

GSK3β Inhibition Prevents Macrophage Reprogramming by High-Dose Methotrexate

open access: yesJournal of Innate Immunity, 2022
Methotrexate (MTX) is an antifolate drug used as a chemotherapeutic agent for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, where MTX improves patients’ prognosis. Macrophage reprogramming is being increasingly assessed as an antitumor therapeutic strategy. However, and
