Expression and functional characterization of NOD2 in decidual stromal cells isolated during the first trimester of pregnancy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
NOD2, one of the cytosolic proteins that contain a nuclear oligomerization domain (NOD), is a pattern recognition receptor (PRR) involved in innate immune responses to intracellular pathogens. Little is known, however, about the effect of NOD2 expression

Benralizumab for anti‐tumor necrosis factor‐associated eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease in a child with ileal Crohn's: A case report

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Crohn's disease (CD) and eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs) are distinct inflammatory entities, but eosinophilic disease may emerge as a paradoxical immune complication of anti–tumor necrosis factor therapy. We report a 12‐year‐old boy with terminal ileal CD who developed severe eosinophilic gastritis and ileitis, peripheral ...

Whole exome and targeted deep sequencing identify genome-wide allelic loss and frequent SETDB1 mutations in malignant pleural mesotheliomas. [PDF]

, 2016
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), a rare malignancy with a poor prognosis, is mainly caused by exposure to asbestos or other organic fibers, but the underlying genetic mechanism is not fully understood.

Urologic Bacteriome: The Hero or the Villain in Prostate Cancer Onset, Progression, and Treatment?

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer in men worldwide and the fifth leading cause of cancer‐related mortality, presenting urgent unmet clinical needs in diagnosis and treatment. The recognition of the microbiome as a key factor in human health has prompted numerous studies, revealing an exciting new approach to ...

Nod2 and Nod2-regulated microbiota protect BALB/c mice from diet-induced obesity and metabolic dysfunction

Scientific Reports, 2017
Genetics plays a central role in susceptibility to obesity and metabolic diseases. BALB/c mice are known to be resistant to high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity, however the genetic cause remains unknown.

Oral Immunotherapy Induces Shift in lncRNA Expression Modulating Allergen‐Specific Immune Responses

Allergy, EarlyView.
We used PBMC transcriptome from 50 hen's egg‐allergic patients to study the role of lncRNA in OIT. Positive correlation was found between 17 lncRNAs and the IL‐4/IL‐13 pathway in vivo, and the expression of the selected lncRNA aligned with CXCL8 upon PBMC egg‐restimulation.

NOD2-mediated dual negative regulation of inflammatory responses triggered by TLRs in the gastrointestinal tract

Frontiers in Immunology
Loss-of-function mutations in nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) constitute the primary risk factors for Crohn’s disease. NOD2 is an intracellular sensor for muramyl dipeptide (MDP), a small molecule derived from the peptidoglycan layer ...

Association of the TLR4 and NOD2 Polymorphisms with Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Bezmiâlem Science, 2018
Objective:Immune activation plays a critical role in the immune response against cancer. Although several genetic factors are established with regard to the development of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the role of immunogenic genes in ALL ...

Therapeutic potential of natural products in cancer immunotherapy: Advances and challenges

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
This review systematically outlines the mechanisms underlying tumour immunotherapy resistance and elucidates the role of natural products in enhancing therapeutic efficacy as immunomodulatory adjuvants. Abstract Immunotherapy has emerged as a clinically pivotal approach in cancer treatment, but its application remains limited to a small subset of ...
