Novel process of intrathymic tumor-immune tolerance through CCR2-mediated recruitment of Sirpα+ dendritic cells: a murine model. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Immune surveillance system can detect more efficiently secretory tumor-specific antigens, which are superior as a target for cancer immunotherapy. On the contrary, immune tolerance can be induced in the thymus when a tumor antigen is massively secreted ...

Monocyte inflammation and adaptive immune dysfunction in severe Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia

iMeta, EarlyView.
Severe Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia combines intense inflammation with failure to control infection, yet the cellular basis is unclear. Using a severity‐focused single‐cell atlas of 708,894 peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 100 individuals, complemented by plasma protein measurements and flow cytometry, we show that disease severity redirects ...

The Incidence of Sensorineural Hearing Loss Diagnoses in People with and without Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) are both prevalent conditions among older adults. Although increasing number of studies have investigated SNHL as a risk factor for PD, it is not well known how diagnosed PD affects the likelihood of SNHL diagnosis.

Podocyte SIRPα reduction aggravates lupus nephritis via promoting T cell inflammatory responses

Cell Reports
Summary: Signal-regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα) has recently been found to be highly expressed in podocytes and is essential for maintaining podocyte function. However, its immunoregulatory function in podocytes remains elusive.

Understanding the Type 2 Immunity: An Evolving View Beyond Allergic Diseases

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Type 2 (T2) immunity is classically associated with defense against helminths and environmental threats, from a physiological perspective, and with allergies and eosinophilic inflammatory diseases, in a pathological sense. However, growing evidence reveals that T2 pathways also support other essential homeostatic functions, including tissue ...

Insulin usage and glaucoma treatment associated with the incidence of surgically treated vision‐threatening epiretinal membrane: Evidence from an epidemiological study

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Multiple factors play a role in epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation and appear to affect the risk of ERM surgery. We explored whether the use of common systemic and topical medications is associated with ERM surgery in Finland. Methods The main outcome variable was incidence of surgically treated vision‐threatening epiretinal membrane (

CD47 promotes myeloma cell growth through JAK–STAT3/MYC signalling and is targetable by ruxolitinib

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47), a ‘don't eat me’ immune checkpoint receptor, is frequently overexpressed on multiple myeloma (MM) cells and contributes to immune evasion. While its immune regulatory function is well established, the intrinsic oncogenic role of CD47 remains poorly understood.

Therapeutic potential of natural products in cancer immunotherapy: Advances and challenges

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
This review systematically outlines the mechanisms underlying tumour immunotherapy resistance and elucidates the role of natural products in enhancing therapeutic efficacy as immunomodulatory adjuvants. Abstract Immunotherapy has emerged as a clinically pivotal approach in cancer treatment, but its application remains limited to a small subset of ...

Targeting the myeloid checkpoint receptor SIRPα potentiates innate and adaptive immune responses to promote anti-tumor activity

Journal of Hematology & Oncology, 2020
Background Signal regulatory protein α (SIRPα) is a myeloid-lineage inhibitory receptor that restricts innate immunity through engagement of its cell surface ligand CD47.
