An acidic microenvironment sets the humoral pattern recognition molecule PTX3 in a tissue repair mode [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is a fluid-phase pattern recognition molecule and a key component of the humoral arm of innate immunity. In four different models of tissue damage in mice, PTX3 deficiency was associated with increased fibrin deposition and persistence,

Cancer‐associated mutations in endometriosis reframe a benign disease through molecular oncology

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review aims to comprehensively analyse cancer‐associated somatic mutations (CAMs) present in endometriotic lesions, emphasizing their biological roles, spatial distribution and implications for translational applications in medicine. By contextualizing a benign state within a genomic framework, this analysis seeks to establish its value as a ...

Serum Pentaxin 3 (PTX3) Promotes NLRP3 Inflammasome and Pyroptosis in Patients with Up-Regulated Myasthenia Gravis

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2023
Background: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoantibodies-mediated autoimmune disease with the complications of neuromuscular junction transmission. In this study, we aimed to investigate the molecular regulatory roles of pentaxin 3 (PTX3) in patients and ...

Glucocorticoids regulate pentraxin-3 expression in human airway smooth muscle cells.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Pentraxin-3 (PTX3) is a multifunctional protein involved in both innate and adaptive immunity. Glucocorticoid (GC) is the first-line therapy to mitigate airway inflammation in asthma.

AI‐Designed TREM1‐Targeted LYTAC Nanoparticles Reprogram the Neuroimmune Microenvironment in Traumatic Brain Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
AI‐enabled de novo design of a TREM1 binder, integrated into a BBB‐crossing and macrophage‐targeted nanoplatform, enables TREM1 degradation and attenuates neuroinflammation, thereby promoting neuroprotection and tissue repair after traumatic brain injury. ABSTRACT Secondary neuroinflammation drives progressive damage after traumatic brain injury (TBI),

Clearance of Cell Remnants and Regeneration of Injured Muscle Depend on Soluble Pattern Recognition Receptor PTX3

open access: yesMolecular Medicine, 2016
The signals causing resolution of muscle inflammation are only partially characterized. The long pentraxin PTX3, which modulates leukocyte recruitment and activation, could contribute.

PTX3 as a biomarker of lowered arterial stiffness due to weight loss in overweight and obese Japanese men

open access: yesJournal of Men's Health, 2022
Background: Obesity, an independent cardiovascular disease risk factor, is the leading cause of death in the world. It has been previously shown that arterial stiffness,which is an index of cardiovascular disease, is significantly higher in Japanese ...

Deep Immunophenotyping Reveals Distinct Immune Signatures in Axial Spondyloarthritis and Psoriatic Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are overlapping yet distinct conditions within the SpA spectrum. As divergent immunophenotypes may influence disease course and therapeutic response, we compared immune cell subsets, cytokine profiles, and inflammatory mediators.

Apoptosis and PTX3 in lichen planus

open access: yesAdvances in Dermatology and Allergology
Lichen planus (LP) is considered a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease although its aetiology remains unknown. Cytotoxic T cells play a central role in the pathogenesis of LP and these cells are known to significantly induce apoptosis in basal keratinocytes.To correlate pentraxin 3 (PTX3) with apoptosis in basal cell keratinocytes in LP and to determine
