Sequence of Immunological Events During IgE‐Mediated Allergic Reactions to Food

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food allergies (FA) represent a significant global health burden. Upon allergen re‐exposure, allergic patients exhibit a sequence of symptoms that vary in terms of affected organ systems, severity, time of onset and allergen reactivity thresholds.

Human Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells Express Receptors for Anaphylatoxins C3a and C5a and Are Chemoattracted to C3a and C5a [PDF]

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2006
The presence of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) was recently demonstrated in lesions of inflammatory skin diseases. Since anaphylatoxins or their precursors were also found in such lesions, we investigated a possible interaction between pDC and anaphylatoxins C3a and C5a.

IL-6 Receptor Inhibition by Tocilizumab Attenuated Expression of C5a Receptor 1 and 2 in Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Background: Elevated interleukin-6 (IL-6) and complement activation are associated with detrimental effects of inflammation in coronary artery disease (CAD). The complement anaphylatoxins C5a and C3a interact with their receptors; the highly inflammatory

Benefit of Apabetalone on Plasma Proteins in Renal Disease. [PDF]

, 2018
Introduction:Apabetalone, a small molecule inhibitor, targets epigenetic readers termed BET proteins that contribute to gene dysregulation in human disorders. Apabetalone has in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory and antiatherosclerotic properties.

Bruton tyrosine kinase (Btk) in neutrophils is indispensable for initiating and maintaining skin inflammation in a model of pemphigoid diseases

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Bruton tyrosine kinase (Btk) is essential for B cell function. Its role in myeloid cells is less understood. Greater insights into Btk significance in myeloid cells are needed to evaluate its potential as a therapeutic target during the effector phase of antibody‐induced autoimmune diseases, where inhibiting autoantibody ...

Targeting complement anaphylatoxin C5a receptor in hyperoxic lung injury in mice

Molecular Medicine Reports, 2014
Receptor binding of complement anaphylatoxin C5a results in proinflammatory activation of numerous diseases, but the role of receptor-mediated action during hyperoxic lung injury has, to the best of our knowledge, not yet been investigated. The contribution of the C5a receptor (C5aR) to hyperoxic lung injury in mice was investigated in this study.

Dextran sulfate activates the contact system and mediates arterial hypotension via B2 kinin receptors [PDF]

, 1994
To define some of the mechanisms underlying dextran sulfate (DXS)-induced hypotension, we investigated the effects of either the plasma kallikrein inhibitor des-Pro2-[Arg15] aprotinin (BAY x 4620) or the specific bradykinin B2-receptor antagonist Hoe-140

Potential Mechanisms Underlying TGF-β-mediated Complement Activation in Lung Fibrosis [PDF]

, 2017
While our previous studies suggest that limiting bleomycin-induced complement activation suppresses TGF-β signaling, the specific hierarchical interactions between TGF-β and complement in lung fibrosis are unclear.

First successful protocol for desensitization to eptinezumab

Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Eptinezumab is an anti‐calcitonin gene‐related peptide monoclonal antibody used for migraine prevention. During clinical trials, hypersensitivity to eptinezumab was described without a clear underlying mechanism. To determine if the reaction was immunoglobulin E–mediated, the team of Nice University Hospital (Nice, France) performed

Antagonism of the prostaglandin D₂ receptor CRTH2 attenuates asthma pathology in mouse eosinophilic airway inflammation

Respiratory Research, 2007
Background Mast cell-derived prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), may contribute to eosinophilic inflammation and mucus production in allergic asthma. Chemoattractant receptor homologous molecule expressed on TH2 cells (CRTH2), a high affinity receptor for ...
