Background We previously demonstrated that ischemically injured cardiomyocytes release cell‐free DNA and HMGB1 (high mobility group box 1 protein) into circulation during reperfusion, activating proinflammatory responses and ultimately exacerbating ...

Shared and Unique Features of Human Interferon-Beta and Interferon-Alpha Subtypes
Type I interferons (IFN-I) were first discovered as an antiviral factor by Isaacs and Lindenmann in 1957, but they are now known to also modulate innate and adaptive immunity and suppress proliferation of cancer cells.

Loss of Ifnar1 in Pancreatic Acinar Cells Ameliorates the Disease Course of Acute Pancreatitis. [PDF]
Type I interferon constitutes an essential component of the combinational therapy against viral disease. Acute pancreatitis is one side effect of type I interferon-based therapy, implying that activation of type I interferon signaling affects the ...

The regulation of type I interferon production by paramyxoviruses [PDF]
Research supported by The Wellcome Trust (087751/A/08/Z)Experimentally, paramyxoviruses are conventionally considered good inducers of type I interferons (IFN-alpha/beta), and have been used as agents in the commercial production of human IFN-alpha ...

Differential induction of TLR3-dependent innate immune signaling by closely related parasite species. [PDF]
The closely related protozoan parasites Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum display similar life cycles, subcellular ultrastructure, invasion mechanisms, metabolic pathways, and genome organization, but differ in their host range and disease ...

Influenza virus activation of the interferon system [PDF]
This study was supported by the Wellcome Trust (grant number 087751/A/08/Z) and the Medical Research Council (grant number G0700848).The host interferon (IFN) response represents one of the first barriers that influenza viruses must surmount in order to ...

Type I interferon induces cancer stem cells-mediated chemotherapy resistance
In a recent study in Nature Immunology, Musella et al. demonstrate that suboptimal type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling in tumors undergoing immunogenic cell death (ICD) facilitates the accumulation of cancer stem cells (CSCs) by triggering the epigenetic

PKR acts early in infection to suppress Semliki Forest virus production and strongly enhances the type I interferon response [PDF]
The double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase (PKR) is a key regulator of protein translation, interferon (IFN) expression and cell survival. Upon infection of vertebrate cells in continuous culture, the alphavirus Semliki Forest virus (SFV) initiates
