Staphylococcal Enterotoxin A Shapes Monocyte Transcription and Macrophage Polarization: Implications for Immune Responses in Infection and Inflammation. [PDF]

Eur J Immunol
Staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) alters monocyte differentiation and function, while preserving T cell stimulatory capacity. SEA‐primed macrophages downregulate antigen‐presenting markers yet drive heightened T‐cell proliferation and IFN‐γ secretion.

Superantigens, superantigen-like proteins and superantigen derivatives for cancer treatment.

European review for medical and pharmacological sciences, 2021
Bacterial superantigens (SAgs) are proteins produced by few types of bacteria that have been linked to several human diseases. Due to their potent in vitro and in vivo tumoricidal effects, they are extensively investigated for oncological applications either alone or in combination with classical anticancer drugs.

Serum Cytokine Profiling Differentiates Underlying Diseases in Cytokine Storm Syndrome

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Serum cytokine profiling was performed using Luminex (48 cytokines) and ELISA (5 cytokines). Assessment of key cytokines (IFN‐α, IL‐18, IL‐6, CXCL9) delineated five dominant inflammatory patterns: I, IFN‐α–dominant CSS; II, IL‐18–dominant CSS; III, IL‐6–dominant CSS; IV, IFN‐γ–dominant CSS; and V, IL‐6 & IFN‐γ intermediate CSS.

Role of Antimicrobial Peptides in the Pathogenesis of Atopic Dermatitis

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by barrier dysfunction, immune dysregulation, and microbial dysbiosis. Recent studies have highlighted the multifaceted roles of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) both as innate defenders against microbial invasion and as regulators of immune responses and skin barrier ...

Inflammatory cytokines and biofilm production sustain Staphylococcus aureus outgrowth and persistence: A pivotal interplay in the pathogenesis of Atopic Dermatitis [PDF]

, 2018
Individuals with Atopic dermatitis (AD) are highly susceptible to Staphylococcus aureus colonization. However, the mechanisms driving this process as well as the impact of S. aureus in AD pathogenesis are still incompletely understood.
