Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Affect Rheumatoid Arthritis Pathogenesis via Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the most common autoimmune disease, is characterized by symmetrical synovial inflammation of multiple joints with the infiltration of pro-inflammatory immune cells and increased cytokines (CKs) levels.

Obesity and cancer: existing and new hypotheses for a causal connection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Existing explanations of obesity-associated cancer emphasise direct mutagenic effects of dietary components or hormonal imbalance. Some of these hypotheses are reviewed briefly, but recent evidence suggests a major role for chronic inflammation in cancer

AHR2 mutant reveals functional diversity of aryl hydrocarbon receptors in zebrafish.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is well known for mediating the toxic effects of TCDD and has been a subject of intense research for over 30 years.

Semaphorin 4D Induces an Imbalance of Th17/Treg Cells by Activating the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor in Ankylosing Spondylitis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
ObjectivesSemaphorin 4D (Sema4D) is constitutively expressed on T cells and osteoclasts, and regulates T cell proliferation and bone remodeling. In addition, several studies have shown that Sema4D is involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmunity.

AIP limits neurotransmitter release by inhibiting calcium bursts from the ryanodine receptor

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
In this work the authors show that AIP (aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein), a gene frequently mutated in association with pituitary tumors, regulates neurotransmitter release by inhibiting calcium release from ryanodine receptors.

CRISPR/Cas-based screening of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in macrophages with an NF-κB reporter. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The innate immune system protects against infections by initiating an inducible inflammatory response. NF-κB is one of the critical transcription factors controlling this complex response, but some aspects of its regulation remain unclear.

The kynurenine pathway and the brain: challenges, controversies and promises [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Research on the neurobiology of the kynurenine pathway has suffered years of relative obscurity because tryptophan degradation, and its involvement in both physiology and major brain diseases, was viewed almost exclusively through the lens of the well ...

Role of gut microbiota-derived signals in the regulation of gastrointestinal motility

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2022
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract harbors trillions of commensal microbes, called the gut microbiota, which plays a significant role in the regulation of GI physiology, particularly GI motility.
