Do Semaphorins Play a Role in Development of Fibrosis in Patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease?

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with systemic changes in immune response linked with chronic low-grade inflammation and disease progression.

Plexin B2 and Semaphorin 4C Guide T Cell Recruitment and Function in the Germinal Center

open access: yesCell Reports, 2017
Summary: Follicular T helper (TFH) cells orchestrate the germinal center (GC) response locally. TFH localization in GCs is controlled by chemo-guidance cues and antigen-specific adhesion. Here.

Silicified collagen scaffold induces semaphorin 3A secretion by sensory nerves to improve in-situ bone regeneration

open access: yesBioactive Materials, 2022
Sensory nerves promote osteogenesis through the release of neuropeptides. However, the potential application and mechanism in which sensory nerves promote healing of bone defects in the presence of biomaterials remain elusive.

Regulatory sequence analysis of semaphorin 4D 5' non-coding region. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Cancer, 2019
Semaphorin 4D (Sema4D) has been proven to be one of the hypoxia effectors regulated by hypoxia inducible factor (HIF-1) in multiple cells, and play a role in angiogenesis like VEGF. However, the regulatory sequence characteristics of the Sema4D are not clarified.

Knockout of Sema4D alleviates liver fibrosis by suppressing AOX1 expression

open access: yesPharmacological Research, 2023
Liver fibrosis can occur in many chronic liver diseases, and no effective treatments are available due to the poorly characterized molecular pathogenesis. Semaphorin 4D (Sema4D) has immune functions and serves important roles in T cell priming.

Neuroimmune semaphorin 4D is necessary for optimal lung allergic inflammation [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Immunology, 2013
Neuroimmune semaphorin 4D (Sema4D) was found to be expressed and function in the nervous and immune systems. In the immune system, Sema4D is constitutively expressed on T cells and regulates T cell priming. In addition, it displays a stimulatory function on macrophages, DC, NK cells, and neutrophils.

Engineering, Characterization, and Biological Evaluation of an Antibody Targeting the HGF Receptor

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
The Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its receptor (MET) promote several physiological activities such as tissue regeneration and protection from cell injury of epithelial, endothelial, neuronal and muscle cells.

Mediating immunosuppressive functions: a new perspective on the complex immunological properties of SEMA4D in the tumor microenvironment

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2023
Semaphorin 4D (SEMA4D) is considered a new antitumor target closely related to immune cells. However, understanding the role of SEMA4D in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is limited.

Enterococcus faecalis promotes osteoclastogenesis and semaphorin 4D expression

open access: yesInnate Immunity, 2015
Enterococcus faecalis is considered a major bacterial pathogen implicated in endodontic infections and contributes considerably to periapical periodontitis. This study aimed to investigate the potential mechanisms by which E. faecalis accounts for the bone destruction in periapical periodontitis in vitro.
