Immune‐Driven Expression in Inclusion Body Myositis With T‐Cell Large Granular Lymphocytic Leukemia

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives T‐cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T‐LGLL), reported in up to 58% of inclusion body myositis (IBM) patients, is a rare leukemia of cytotoxic or less commonly helper T cells. The range of myopathies in T‐LGLL and the impact of coexisting T‐LGLL in IBM are not well understood. Our objectives are to investigate the spectrum of

Intracortical injection of endothelin-1 induces cortical infarcts in mice: effect of neuronal expression of an adenosine transporter [PDF]

, 2012
Background Activation of adenosine A1 receptors has neuroprotective effects in animal stroke models. Adenosine levels are regulated by nucleoside transporters.

Inosine‐Triphosphate‐Pyrophosphatase Activity as a Potential Predictor of Methotrexate Remission in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Methotrexate (MTX) is the first‐line therapy for juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), but up to 40% of patients do not respond to it. Low inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (ITPA) activity has been associated with reduced clinical remission. We investigated the role and underlying mechanisms of ITPA in vitro. Methods ITPA enzymatic activity

PrEP at the site of action in cisgender and transgender women: A pharmacology study of blood and rectal CD4+ lymphocytes

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background Female sex hormones used in feminizing hormone therapy (FHT) may influence activation and persistence of HIV pre‐exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medications. The clinical relevance of this interaction remains unclear, particularly for transgender and cisgender women (TGW and CGW).

It takes two to tango: NAD+ and sirtuins in aging/longevity control [PDF]

, 2016
The coupling of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) breakdown and protein deacylation is a unique feature of the family of proteins called ‘sirtuins.’ This intimate connection between NAD+ and sirtuins has an ancient origin and provides a ...

Energy metabolism, adenosine, and glutamate signaling reprogramming by decanoic acid in Glut1 disorder syndrome

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Glut1 deficiency syndrome (Glut1DS) leads to neurological and cognitive symptoms and is primarily treated using carbohydrate‐restricted ketogenic diets. However, a recent clinical trial of a less restrictive, non‐ketogenic, medium chain triglyceride (MCT) diet with a high decanoic acid content suggests efficacy in Glut1DS treatment.

ATP as a Multi-target Danger Signal in the Brain

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2015
ATP is released in an activity-dependent manner from different cell types in the brain, fulfilling different roles as a neurotransmitter, neuromodulator, astrocyte-to-neuron communication, propagating astrocytic responses and formatting microglia ...

Targeting Immunometabolism Mediated by CD73 Pathway in EGFR-Mutated Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: A New Hope for Overcoming Immune Resistance

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Despite the relevant antitumor efficacy of immunotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the results in patients whose cancer harbors activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations are disappointing.
