The IRG1–itaconate axis protects from cholesterol-induced inflammation and atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is fueled by a failure to resolve lipid-driven inflammation within the vasculature that drives plaque formation. Therapeutic approaches to reverse atherosclerotic inflammation are needed to address the rising global burden of ...

Identification of Bhlhe40 and Irg1 as essential regulators of the inflammatory response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]
Protective immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) must induce bactericidal functions while minimizing damage to the lung. Such responses require precise control of pro- and anti-inflammatory factors to regulate the recruitment and function ...

Identification of immune-responsive gene 1 (IRG1) as a target of A20
A20 is a negative regulator of NF-kappa B signaling; it controls inflammatory responses and ensures tissue homeostasis. A20 is thought to restrict NF-kappa B activation both by its ubiquitin-editing activity as well as by its nonenzymatic activities ...

IRG1 and Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Act Redundantly with Other Interferon-Gamma-Induced Factors To Restrict Intracellular Replication of
Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) restricts the intracellular replication of many pathogens, but the mechanism by which IFN-γ confers cell-intrinsic pathogen resistance remains unclear.

Reprogramming tumor-associated macrophages and blocking PD-L1 via engineered outer membrane vesicles to enhance T cell infiltration and cytotoxic functions [PDF]
The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) critically undermines the efficacy of T cell-based tumor immunotherapy by impeding CD8+ T cell infiltration and cytotoxic function, primarily through tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and immune ...

Early immune responses to systemic inflammation in the postnatal mouse brain initiated by migrating macrophages and leptomeningeal fibroblasts [PDF]
Bacterial infection is a key trigger of inflammatory pathways that damage the preterm brain, even without direct bacterial brain invasion. However, the mechanisms underlying the involvement of intracranial tissues and cells in early immune responses to ...
