A C-type lectin with an immunoglobulin-like domain promotes phagocytosis of hemocytes in crayfish Procambarus clarkii

Scientific Reports, 2016
C-type lectins are important immune molecules that participate in host defense response. The present work reports a novel C-type lectin (PcLec3) from the red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii.

Platelets and galectins [PDF]

, 2014
A major function of platelets is keeping the vascular system intact. Platelet activation at sites of vascular injury leads to the formation of a hemostatic plug.

Physiological pH Transition‐Driven Protein Corona Dynamics Regulate Cellular Uptake and Inflammatory Responses of Silica Nanoparticles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Physiological pH transitions modulate protein corona dynamics on nanoparticles, altering their cellular uptake and inflammatory responses. Acidic pHs enhance protein adsorption, induce structural changes, and promote cellular uptake. Simultaneously, inflammatory responses are reduced due to altered protein composition, including decreased ...

Megasphaera Elesdenii Dysregulates Colon Epithelial Homeostasis, Aggravates Colitis‐Associated Tumorigenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A fecal microbial meta‐analysis reveals that Megasphaera is highly abundant in the Asian population with IBD and CRC. M. elsdenii reshapes colonic immunity by triggering DC cell‐mediated Th1 and Th17 inflammation. M. elsdenii and M. elsdenii‐enriched microbiota exacerbate colonic inflammation and tumorigenesis in AOM/DSS mice.

Constitutive Androstane Receptor in Macrophages Regulates Toll‐Like Receptor 4‐Mediated Innate Immune Responses Against Endotoxemic Liver Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The present study uncovers a novel role of constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) in inflammation‐mediated damage. CAR activation in macrophages inhibits proinflammatory macrophages by interacting with Tlr4, which protects against endotoxemic liver injury.

The cartilage-specific lectin C-type lectin domain family 3 member A (CLEC3A) enhances tissue plasminogen activator–mediated plasminogen activation

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2017
C-type lectin domain family 3 member A (CLEC3A) is a poorly characterized protein belonging to the superfamily of C-type lectins. Its closest homologue tetranectin binds to the kringle 4 domain of plasminogen and enhances its association with tissue ...

Secondary Bile Acids Modified by Odoribacter Splanchnicus Alleviate Colitis by Suppressing Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In ulcerative colitis, the loss of Odoribacter splanchnicus disrupts a microbiota‐metabolite‐neutrophil axis. Restoring this bacterium boosts lithocholic acid, which suppress neutrophil extracellular trap formation and eases colonic inflammation.
