Nitric oxide donors increase PVR/CD155 DNAM-1 ligand expression in multiple myeloma cells: role of DNA damage response activation

BMC Cancer, 2015
BackgroundDNAX accessory molecule-1 (DNAM-1) is an activating receptor constitutively expressed by macrophages/dendritic cells and by T lymphocytes and Natural Killer (NK) cells, having an important role in anticancer responses; in this regard ...

Crohn's lymphoid aggregates with endothelial clusters colocalise with submucosal fibrosis in fibrostenosing Crohn's disease

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crohn's disease (CD) involves chronic transmural inflammation of the intestines, leading to progressive wall fibrosis with stenosis and luminal obstruction, predominantly in the terminal ileum. Fibrosis is a significant therapeutic challenge, thus improved understanding of localisation, cellular composition, and cell–cell interactions in CD ...

A Novel Method for Generating a Fused Ventilation–Perfusion Map Using CT‐Derived Ventilation and FDG‐PET for Lung Functional Avoidance in Radiotherapy: A Feasibility Study

Precision Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
This study retrospectively analyzed two types of respiratory phase CT and PET/CT images of 20 lung cancer patients. After DIR and functional grading, three lung function images were developed, and their correlations and differences were evaluated. Abstract Background Pulmonary ventilation–perfusion function plays a crucial role in both radiotherapy ...

T-cell Immunoglobulin and ITIM Domain (TIGIT) Receptor/Poliovirus Receptor (PVR) Ligand Engagement Suppresses Interferon-γ Production of Natural Killer Cells via β-Arrestin 2-mediated Negative Signaling*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2014
Background: T-cell immunoglobulin and ITIM domain (TIGIT) was recently defined as an inhibitory receptor that is expressed on NK cells and T cells. Results: TIGIT/poliovirus receptor (PVR) ligation signaling mediates suppression of IFN-γ production ...

Sympatho‐Excitation in Pulmonary Hypertension: The Potential Role of Pulmonary Arterial Baroreceptors: An Acute Physiologic Intervention Study

Respirology, EarlyView.
Pulmonary arterial baroreceptors reflexively stimulate sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) in response to elevated pulmonary artery pressure and distension. In pulmonary hypertension patients, changes in muscle SNA were proportional to changes in pulmonary haemodynamics following nebulised iloprost.
