B Cells are Activated via a Nanoporous Interface that Stabilizes Microvilli and Engages Mechanosensitive Ion Channels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
B cells can be activated independently of antigen recognition via mechanical stimulation through nanoporous substrates. Exposure to such substrates induced B cell microvilli extension into the pores, intracellular Ca2+ signaling, phosphorylation of signaling proteins, and CD69 expression.

Andrographolide Inhibits Expression of NLPR3 Inflammasome in Canine Mononuclear Leukocytes

Animals
Inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes that trigger processes through caspase-1 activation, leading to the maturation of proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β and IL-18.

Chitotriosidase activity in plasma and mononuclear and polymorphonuclear leukocyte populations [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, 2003
AbstractIn the general population, about 5% of individuals are homozygotic and 35% are heterozygotic carriers for chitotriosidase (ChT) deficiency. Activated macrophages are considered to be the main source of plasma ChT activity, which permits the biochemical characterization of homozygote deficients.

GM‐CSF Promotes Neutrophil PD‐L1 Expression Through the VEGFR‐2/STAT6/CSF2 Signaling Axis in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
VEGFR‐2 signaling in OSCC activates Src–STAT6‐dependent CSF2 transcription, driving tumor‐derived GM‐CSF secretion. GM‐CSF programs neutrophils to express PD‐L1 through STAT5–mTOR/S6K signaling, suppressing cytotoxic CD8+ T cells. This pathway reveals a tumor–neutrophil immune checkpoint circuit that limits anti‐PD‐1 responsiveness in OSCC.

In vitro cholesterol synthesis in freshly isolated mononuclear cells of human blood: effect of in vivo administration of clofibrate and/or cholestyramine.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1980
The rate of incorporation of [2-14C]acetate into cholesterol has been measured in freshly isolated peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes from patients on various hypolipidemic drugs that affect whole body cholesterol synthesis.

Bradykinin-inactivating activity of mononuclear leukocytes.

Ensho, 1986
Bradykinin-inactivating activity of mononuclear leukocytes was examined using guinea-pig macrophages and lymphocytes. Intact macrophages rapidly inactivated bradykinin. Bradykinin-inactivating activity of macrophages was present in the membrane and cytosol fractions but not in the nuclear and granular fractions.

METTL7A Downregulation Drives SLC1A5‐Mediated Glutamine Competition to Promote Tumor Proliferation and Suppress CD8+ T Cell Immunity in Gastric Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
GC cells enhance glutamine accumulation by upregulating SLC1A5 expression. This upregulation not only boosts GC cell proliferation, but also outcompetes CD8+ T cells for glutamine and suppresses their antitumor immunity. Mechanistically, METTL7A deficiency in GC induces SLC1A5 overexpression via an m6A‐dependent pathway and N‐glycosylation ...

Macrocyclic lactone anthelmintic-induced leukocyte binding to Dirofilaria immitis microfilariae: Influence of the drug resistance status of the parasite

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2019
The macrocyclic lactone anthelmintics are the only class of drug currently used to prevent heartworm disease. Their extremely high potency in vivo is not mirrored by their activity against Dirofilaria immitis larvae in vitro, leading to suggestions that ...

Engineered Xenogeneic Bone Scaffold with IL‐10 Nanodelivery System: Immunomodulation and BMSC Fate Programming for Skull Defect Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A multifunctional regenerative composite is constructed by 3D‐printing thermosensitive PNIPAM hydrogel embedded with MPDA@IL‐10 nanoparticles and autologous BMSCs onto antigen‐depleted porcine bone matrix for beagle critical‐sized skull defect reconstruction.

Engineering Morphological Anisotropy to Control the In Vivo Transport Dynamics, Clearance, and Biodistribution of Silica Nanocarriers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Morphological anisotropy directs the in vivo transport under physiological flow and clearance of silica nanocarriers. Increasing anisotropy reduces cellular uptake, suppresses hepatic and splenic sequestration, and prolongs systemic circulation by steering particles toward the central flow core.
