Mycophenolate mofetil inhibits lymphocyte binding and the upregulation of adhesion molecules in acute rejection of rat kidney allografts. [PDF]

, 1996
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) interacts with purine metabolism and possibly with the expression of adhesion molecules. In the present study, we analysed the expression of these molecules in transplanted kidney allografts treated with RS LBNF1 kidneys were ...

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Bone marrow monocytes sustain NK cell-poiesis during non-alcoholic steatohepatitis

Cell Reports
Summary: Natural killer (NK) cells are the predominant lymphocyte population in the liver. At the onset of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), an accumulation of activated NK cells is observed in the liver in parallel with inflammatory monocyte ...

PI3Kδ hyper-activation promotes development of B cells that exacerbate Streptococcus pneumoniae infection in an antibody-independent manner

Nature Communications, 2018
Antibody mediated immune responses to Streptococcus pneumoniae are crucial for the immune response to infection. Here the authors show hyper-activation of PI3Kδ promotes development of a subset of B cells that exacerbate infection in an antibody ...

The Lack of WIP Binding to Actin Results in Impaired B Cell Migration and Altered Humoral Immune Responses

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp) is a main cytoskeletal regulator in B cells. WASp-interacting protein (WIP) binds to and stabilizes WASp but also interacts with actin.

Identifying proteins bound to native mitotic ESC chromosomes reveals chromatin repressors are important for compaction

Nature Communications, 2020
Epigenetic information is transmitted from mother to daughter cells through mitosis. Here, the authors isolate native chromosomes from metaphase-arrested cells and perform LC-MS/MS to identify chromosome-bound proteins in pluripotent stem cells during ...

Mechanisms of IgE‐mediated food allergy and the role of allergen‐specific B cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Food allergy arises when allergen‐specific B cells preferentially produce immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against harmless foods. This article explains the mechanisms driving IgE‐mediated reactions, highlights the central role of these B cells, and discusses how natural tolerance (NT) and oral immunotherapy (OIT) can reshape allergic immune responses.

New Insights into Epigenetic Regulation of T Cell Differentiation

Cells, 2021
Immature CD4− CD8− thymocytes progress through several developmental steps in the thymus, ultimately emerging as mature CD4+ (helper) or CD8+ (cytotoxic) T cells.

In vitro immunosuppressive effects of FR 900506 on human T lymphocyte alloactivation [PDF]

, 1987
FR 900506 (FR) is a new immunosuppressive drug which prolongs allograft survival. Our studies have compared the in vitro inhibitory effects of FR and cyclosporine (CsA) on human lymphocyte proliferation.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
