Immunoproteasome overexpression underlies the pathogenesis of thyroid oncocytes and primary hypothyroidism: studies in humans and mice. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Oncocytes of the thyroid gland (Hürthle cells) are found in tumors and autoimmune diseases. They have a unique appearance characterized by abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm and hyperchromatic nucleus.

Constructing TC-1-GLUC-LMP2 Model Tumor Cells to Evaluate the Anti-Tumor Effects of LMP2-Related Vaccines [PDF]
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is related to a variety of malignant tumors, and its encoded protein, latent membrane protein 2 (LMP2), is an effective target antigen that is widely used to construct vector vaccines. However, the model cells carrying LMP2 have still not been established to assess the oncolytic effect of LMP2-related vaccines at present.

The proteasome system in infection: impact of β5 and LMP7 on composition, maturation and quantity of active proteasome complexes. [PDF]
Proteasomes are the major enzyme complexes for non-lysosomal protein degradation in eukaryotic cells. Mammals express two sets of catalytic subunits: the constitutive subunits β1, β2 and β5 and the immunosubunits LMP2 (β1i), MECL-1 (β2i) and LMP7 (β5i ...

Investigating AKT activation and autophagy in immunoproteasome-deficient retinal cells.
Two major proteolytic systems, the proteasome and the autophagy pathway, are key components of the proteostasis network. The immunoproteasome, a proteasome subtype, and autophagy are upregulated under stress conditions, forming a coordinated unit ...

Contribution of Antigen-Processing Machinery Genetic Polymorphisms to Atopic Dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory dermatosis. We recently described an association of the C allele of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs26618 in the ERAP1 gene and a synergism of ERAP1 and ERAP2 effects on AD risk ...

No primary association between LMP2 polymorphisms and extraspinal manifestations in spondyloarthropathies [PDF]
To investigate the potential role of the HLA-linked LMP2 (low molecular weight protein) gene polymorphisms in conjunction with DR4 and DR7 on extraspinal disease manifestations in HLA-B27 positive patients with spondyloarthropathy.172 patients with spondyloarthropathy, 46 healthy, HLA-B27 positive blood donors, and 99 unrelated controls were typed for ...

Expression of HPV6b L1/EBV LMP2 multiepitope and immunogenicity in mice [PDF]
Human papillomavirus (HPV) major capsid protein L1 is an important vehicle for the delivery of epitopes. To investigate the expression and immunogenicity of hybridized HPV6b L1 containing multiepitope of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latency membrane protein 2 (LMP2), a recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1(+) containing mammalian codon-optimization HPV6b L1 gene ...
