Hepatocyte NF-1 and STAT6 Cooperate with Additional DNA-Binding Factors to Activate Transcription of the Human Polymeric Ig Receptor Gene in Response to IL-4 [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2003 Abstract Secretory IgA and IgM, which protect the mucosal surfaces, are generated by selective transport of locally produced polymeric (p)Igs through the epithelial barrier by the pIgR. The expression of this receptor, and hence the generation of secretory Igs, is modulated by numerous extracellular factors.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.During pancreatitis, IL‐1α is released from necrotic acinar cells. In response to IL‐1α, pancreatic fibroblasts release chemokines and cytokines that regulate the recruitment of immune cells to the damaged organ. Furthermore, IL‐1α primes fibroblasts, resulting in increased tissue fibrosis during chronic pancreatitis.

STAT6 transcription factor binding sites with mismatches within the canonical 5′‐TTC…GAA‐3′ motif involved in regulation of δ‐ and µ‐opioid receptors [PDF]
Journal of Neurochemistry, 2004 AbstractOpioid receptors are expressed in neuronal and immune cells and regulated in response to immunological processes. Herein, we demonstrate up‐regulation of the δ‐opioid receptor gene by interleukin‐4 in immune cells (primary T and polymorphonuclear leukocytes, Jurkat E6 T cells), and in NG 108–15 neuronal cells.

Aspirin‐Derived Salicyl‐CoA Drives Histone Lysine Salicylation Regulated by CBP and SIRT2
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Aspirin‐derived salicyl‐CoA serves as a previously unrecognized acyl donor for protein lysine salicylation. This study identifies histone lysine salicylation as a reversible epigenetic modification regulated by CBP and SIRT2, expanding the biochemical actions of aspirin beyond its canonical acetylation‐dependent mechanisms and providing a new framework

Identification and characterization of the transcription factors involved in T‐cell development, t‐bet, stat6 and foxp3, within the zebrafish, Danio rerio [PDF]
The FEBS Journal, 2009 The discovery of cytokines expressed by T‐helper 1 (Th1), Th2, Th17 and T‐regulatory (Treg) cells has prompted speculation that these types of responses may exist in fish, arising early in vertebrate evolution. In this investigation, we cloned three zebrafish transcription factors, T‐box expressed in T cells (t‐bet), signal transducer and activator of ...

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.Objective Although Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is not a prototypical autoantibody‐mediated disease, accumulating evidence suggests that B cells are involved. This study aimed to investigate the pathway of B cell activation and its contributions to TAK pathogenesis. Methods Histologic analysis of paravascular lymph nodes and affected arteries was conducted

Epigenetic Regulation in the Pathogenesis of Renal Inflammation: Insights and Therapeutic Potentials
iNew Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Renal inflammation is a common pathological process in various kidney diseases, often initiated by factors such as toxins, ischemia, or autoimmune reactions. This inflammatory response can result in structural damage and a rapid decline in renal function.

Human naive CD8 T cells down-regulate expression of the WNT pathway transcription factors lymphoid enhancer binding factor 1 and transcription factor 7 (T cell factor-1) following antigen encounter in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
, 2006 The transcription factors lymphoid enhancer binding factor 1 (LEF1) and transcription factor 7 (TCF7) (T cell factor-1 (TCF-1)) are downstream effectors of the WNT signaling pathway, which is a critical regulator of T cell development in the thymus.
