Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease responsive to interleukin-1 beta inhibition [PDF]

, 2006
BACKGROUND:Neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease is characterized by fever, urticarial rash, aseptic meningitis, deforming arthropathy, hearing loss, and mental retardation.

An interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein protects insulin-producing Beta cells against suppressive effects of interleukin-1? [PDF]

Diabetologia, 1991
The cytokine interleukin-1 beta may have an important role in the autoimmune mediated damage of pancreatic Beta cells in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. In the present study we have investigated the effects of an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein, a blocker of the type I interleukin-1 receptor, on the suppressive actions of recombinant ...

Mechanisms of IgE‐mediated food allergy and the role of allergen‐specific B cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Food allergy arises when allergen‐specific B cells preferentially produce immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against harmless foods. This article explains the mechanisms driving IgE‐mediated reactions, highlights the central role of these B cells, and discusses how natural tolerance (NT) and oral immunotherapy (OIT) can reshape allergic immune responses.

Inflammasomes in neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases [PDF]

, 2019
Neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration often result from the aberrant deposition of aggregated host proteins, including amyloid-beta, alpha-synuclein, and prions, that can activate inflammasomes.

Cytoplasmic p21 promotes stemness of colon cancer cells via activation of the NFκB pathway

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cytoplasmic p21 promotes colorectal cancer stem cell (CSC) features by destabilizing the NFκB–IκB complex, activating NFκB signaling, and upregulating BCL‐xL and COX2. In contrast to nuclear p21, cytoplasmic p21 enhances spheroid formation and stemness transcription factor CD133.

Comparative analysis of IL-1β blood serum concentration, neutrophil-to-lymphocytes ratio in peripheral blood, and the levels of PD-L1 expression in malignant tissues of the patients with various solid tumors

Медицинская иммунология, 2021
The action of checkpoint inhibitors is based on activation of T cell antitumor immunity, and, therefore, the search for markers of lymphocyte functional activity before starting the therapy is highly relevant.

Regulation of human lung fibroblast alpha 1(I) procollagen gene expression by tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-1 beta, and prostaglandin E2. [PDF]

, 1993
We investigated the participation of prostaglandin (PG) E2 in the regulation of the alpha 1(I) procollagen gene expression by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha), and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) in normal adult human lung fibroblasts.

In vitro models of cancer‐associated fibroblast heterogeneity uncover subtype‐specific effects of CRISPR perturbations

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Development of therapies targeting cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) necessitates preclinical model systems that faithfully represent CAF–tumor biology. We established an in vitro coculture system of patient‐derived pancreatic CAFs and tumor cell lines and demonstrated its recapitulation of primary CAF–tumor biology with single‐cell transcriptomics ...

Principal component analysis of adipocytokines and insulin associate with risk factors of cardiovascular diseases

BMC Research Notes, 2020
Objectives Obesity plays an important role in the development of chronic diseases like cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The possible underlying mechanism for this connection is that adipose tissue secretes an array of chemical messenger adipokines ...
