Targeted Activation of T Cells with IL-2-Coupled Nanoparticles

Cells, 2020
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a T cell growth factor particularly required in regulatory T cell maintenance and memory T cell responses. High-dose IL-2 treatment was the first FDA-approved immunotherapy for cancer, while low-dose IL-2 administration has shown ...

Killer-Cell Inhibitory Receptors, CD158a/b, are Upregulated by Interleukin-2, but not Interferon-γ or Interleukin-4

Mediators of Inflammation, 1999
Although it is now accepted that killer-cell inhibitory receptors (KIRs), which were molecularly cloned in 1995, deliver negative signals to natural killer (NK) cells regarding the recognition of target cells, it is still unclear how the expression of ...

Suppression of interleukin-1 beta and LDL scavenger receptor expression in macrophages by a selective protein kinase C inhibitor.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1991
A human monocytic cell line, THP-1, stimulated with 40 nM phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), differentiated to macrophage-like cells, and exhibited increased expression and release of interleukin-1 beta and expression of acetylated low density lipoprotein (

Unsaturated fatty acids suppress interleukin-2 production and transferrin receptor expression by concanavalin A-stimulated rat Iymphocytes

Mediators of Inflammation, 1992
The proliferation of T-lymphocytes is dependent upon their ability to synthesize and secrete the cytokine, interleukin-2, and to express cell surface receptors for interleukin-2 and transferrin.

Exploring causal associations between interleukins, their receptors, and acute respiratory distress syndrome: a bidirectional-Mendelian Randomization study

Frontiers in Genetics
BackgroundAcute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a severe lung condition posing significant health risks. Observational studies have indicated a potential linkage between ARDS and various interleukins, such as Interleukin-8, −2, −6, and −1β ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Molecular Mechanisms of Depression: Perspectives on New Treatment Strategies

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2013
Depression is a multicausal disorder and has been associated with the risk to develop cancer, dementia, diabetes, epilepsy and stroke. As a metabolic disorder depression has been associated with obesity, diabetes, insulin sensitivity, neuropeptide Y ...

Effect of human breast milk on innate immune response: Up-regulation of bacterial pattern recognition receptors and innate cytokines in THP-1 monocytic cells

European Journal of Inflammation, 2021
Human breast milk (HBM) contains many bioactive components that protect infants from various microorganisms. Pattern recognition receptors on phagocytic cells recognize microbial pathogens and promote the innate immune system.

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.
