P2X7 receptor polymorphism impairs extracellular adenosine 5′-triphosphate-induced interleukin-18 release from human monocytes [PDF]

Genes & Immunity, 2004
Interleukin (IL)-18 is an important proinflammatory cytokine processed and released from cells of the monocyte lineage by activation of the P2X(7) receptor by extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP). We examined if a loss-of-function polymorphism of the human P2X(7) receptor (glutamic acid-496 to alanine) impairs this process. Using a whole blood-

Olink Proteomics Analysis Reveals Heterogeneous Responses to FcRn Blockade in Anti‐AChR Antibody‐Positive Myasthenia Gravis: FGF‐19 as a Novel Biomarker

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to systematically observe the clinical manifestations, immune cell subsets, and dynamic changes in serological indicators in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) before and after efgartigimod (EFG) treatment. Methods We analyzed the baseline data, laboratory parameters, and lymphocyte subset proportions in MG ...

Serum levels of interleukin-2 in cancer patients: Preliminary considerations

The International Journal of Biological Markers, 1989
In order to investigate the production of interleukin-2 (IL-2) in human neoplasms, we determined IL-2 and soluble IL-2 receptors (sIL-2R) in serum from 18 patients with lymphoma and 28 patients with solid tumors, with (15 cases) or without (13 cases ...

TIR8/SIGIRR is an Interleukin-1 Receptor/Toll Like Receptor family member with regulatory functions in inflammation and immunity

Frontiers in Immunology, 2012
Interleukin-1R like receptors (ILRs) and Toll Like Receptors (TLRs) are key receptors of innate immunity, inflammation and orientation of the adaptive response.

Understanding the role of P2X7 in affective disorders—are glial cells the major players? [PDF]

, 2015
Pathophysiology associated with several psychiatric disorders has been linked to inflammatory biomarkers. This has generated a theory of major depressive disorders as an inflammatory disease.

Signaling through the interleukin-18 receptor α attenuates inflammation in cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury [PDF]

Kidney International, 2012
Interleukin (IL)-18 is produced by leukocytes and renal parenchymal cells (tubular epithelial cells, podocytes, and mesangial cells). The IL-18 receptor (IL-18R) is expressed on these cells in cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury, but the role of IL-18R is unknown.

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

Investigation of the role of endosomal Toll-like receptors in murine collagen-induced arthritis reveals a potential role for TLR7 in disease maintenance [PDF]

, 2012
INTRODUCTION Endosomal toll-like receptors (TLRs) have recently emerged as potential contributors to the inflammation observed in human and rodent models of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Polymorphisms in the Interleukin 18 Receptor 1 Gene and Tuberculosis Susceptibility among Chinese

PLoS ONE, 2014
Tuberculosis (TB), an infectious disease caused by infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is a major public health challenge globally. Genetic epidemiological evidence suggests a genetic basis for TB, but the molecular mechanism for a genetic predisposition to TB remains largely unknown.

CX3CL1 in Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease: Plasma Dynamics Across Age and Disease Stages

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Backgrounds Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by amyloid‐beta plaques, tau tangles, and neuroinflammation. C‐X3‐C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CX3CL1, also known as fractalkine), a neuroimmune chemokine implicated in AD pathogenesis, shows inconsistent alterations in plasma/serum across studies.
