The Alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Suppresses TLR2-Mediated Functional Responses through IRAK-M in Normal Human Keratinocytes. [PDF]
Alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) is a highly conserved 13-aa neuropeptide derived from pro-opiomelanocortin by post-translational processing, which has been reported to exhibit potent anti-inflammatory activity and a wide range of ...

IRAK-M Associates with Susceptibility to Adult-Onset Asthma and Promotes Chronic Airway Inflammation. [PDF]
Abstract IL-1R–associated kinase (IRAK)-M regulates lung immunity during asthmatic airway inflammation. However, the regulatory effect of IRAK-M differs when airway inflammation persists. A positive association between IRAK-M polymorphisms with childhood asthma has been reported.

Endogenous IRAK-M attenuates postinfarction remodeling through effects on macrophages and fibroblasts. [PDF]
Objective— Effective postinfarction repair requires timely suppression of innate immune signals to prevent the catastrophic consequences of uncontrolled inflammation on cardiac geometry and function. In macrophages, interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK)-M acts as a functional decoy preventing uncontrolled toll-like ...

IRAK-M promotes alternative macrophage activation and fibroproliferation in bleomycin-induced lung injury. [PDF]
Abstract Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a devastating lung disease characterized by inflammation and the development of excessive extracellular matrix deposition. Currently, there are only limited therapeutic intervenes to offer patients diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis.

Replenishing IRAK-M expression in retinal pigment epithelium attenuates outer retinal degeneration [PDF]
Chronic inflammation is a constitutive component of many age-related diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Here, we identified interleukin-1 receptor–associated kinase M (IRAK-M) as a key immunoregulator in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) that declines during the aging process. Rare genetic variants ofIRAK3, which encodes IRAK-M,

Replenishing Age-Related Decline of IRAK-M Expression in Retinal Pigment Epithelium Attenuates Outer Retinal Degeneration [PDF]
Unchecked, chronic inflammation is a constitutive component of age-related diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Here we identified interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK)-M as a key immunoregulator in retinal pigment ...

Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 2- and protein kinase D1-dependent regulation of IRAK-monocyte expression by CpG DNA. [PDF]
As a part of the negative feedback mechanism, CpG DNA induces IRAK-M expression in monocytic cells. In the present study we investigated a biochemical signaling pathway and the transcription factors responsible for CpG DNA-mediated Irak-m gene expression.

Involvement of IRAK-M in Peptidoglycan-induced Tolerance in Macrophages [PDF]
The molecular mechanisms by which pathogen-associated molecular patterns recognized by TLR2, such as peptidoglycan (PGN), induce homotolerance are largely unknown. It was recently reported that IRAK-M negatively regulates TLR signaling. In this study, we elucidate the molecular mechanisms of tolerance induced by PGN, with a focus on the role of IRAK-M.

Epigenetic and Transcriptional Regulation of IRAK-M Expression in Macrophages [PDF]
Abstract During macrophage activation, expression of IL-1R–associated kinase (IRAK)-M is induced to suppress TLR-mediated responses and is a hallmark of endotoxin tolerance. Endotoxin tolerance requires tight regulation of genes occurring at the transcriptional and epigenetic levels.
