Role of Interleukin-18 in vascular injury: a new pharmacological target for the prevention of restenosis [PDF]

, 2006
Background: Studies in humans as well as in animal models suggest that interleukin-18 (IL-18) plays a crucial role in vascular pathologies. IL-18 is a strong predictor of cardiovascular death in angina and is involved in atherotic plaque destabilization.

Tumour-derived Interleukin 35 promotes pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cell extravasation and metastasis by inducing ICAM1 expression

Nature Communications, 2017
Interleukin-35 (IL-35) is an immune suppressive cytokine produced by T-cells. Here, the authors show that IL-35 is overexpressed by human pancreatic cancer cells and show, in a mouse model, that IL-35 promotes metastasis in an autocrine/paracrine manner ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

The Role of Interleukin-1 cytokine family (IL-1β, IL-37) and interleukin-12 cytokine family (IL-12, IL-35) in eumycetoma infection pathogenesis. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
Mycetoma is a neglected tropical disease, endemic in many tropical and subtropical regions, characterised by massive deformity and disability and can be fatal if untreated early and appropriately.

RNA‐related functions of BRCA2 in transcription, replication, and genome stability

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Beyond its role in homologous recombination, BRCA2 regulates R‐loop homeostasis, DNA–RNA hybrid resolution, RNA polymerase II dynamics, and transcriptional activation. Disruption of any of these functions can contribute to genome instability, inflammatory signaling, and tumorigenesis. BRCA2 is a central tumor suppressor protein best known for its roles

Interleukin 35-producing B cells prolong the survival of GVHD mice by secreting exosomes with membrane-bound IL-35 and upregulating PD-1/LAG-3 checkpoint proteins

Theranostics
Background: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is an effective treatment for aggressive hematologic malignancies. However, the risk of developing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a significant barrier to allo-HSCT. GVHD is a debilitating condition with high mortality rates and current therapeutic options for GVHD are ...

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Serum interleukin-35 and pentraxin-3 levels in patients with mild acute pancreatitis

, 2019
Introduction Interleukin-35 (IL-35) is a newly defined potent anti-inflammatory cytokine that is predominantly produced by regulatory T cells, and pentraxin-3 belongs to the acute-phase proteins.

Smaller is better: nanobodies meet NMR

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nanobodies are single‐domain antigen‐binding fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies. Their small size, high stability, and exceptional specificity make nanobodies uniquely useful probes for NMR studies of protein dynamics, transient conformational states, and protein–protein interactions.

How structural disorder and polyelectrolyte properties of prothymosin α enable its large interactome

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this review, complexes of the fully disordered and highly negatively charged prothymosin α are collected, described, and discussed. Linked to its poly‐electrostatic character, prothymosin α engages a large interactome through multiple different binding modes ranging from fully disordered complexes to short linear motif (SLiM)‐driven interactions ...
