Regulatory T-Cell-Mediated Suppression of Conventional T-Cells and Dendritic Cells by Different cAMP Intracellular Pathways.

Frontiers in immunology

Rueda CM, Jackson CM, Chougnet CA.
PMID: 27313580
Front Immunol. 2016 Jun 02;7:216. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2016.00216. eCollection 2016.

Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) mediate their suppressive action by acting directly on conventional T-cells (Tcons) or dendritic cells (DCs). One mechanism of Treg suppression is the increase of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) levels in target cells. Tregs utilize cAMP to...

PARP1 activation increases expression of modified tumor suppressors and pathways underlying development of aggressive hepatoblastoma.

Communications biology

Hepatoblastoma (HBL) is a pediatric liver cancer that affects children under the age of three. Reduction of tumor suppressor proteins (TSPs) is commonly seen in liver cancer. However, in our studies we find that aggressive, chemo-resistant HBLs exhibit an...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) plays an essential role in food intake and energy homeostasis. More than 170 MC4R variants have been described over the past two decades, with conflicting reports regarding the prevalence and phenotypic effects of these variants...

Targeted knockdown of Kv1.3 channels in T lymphocytes corrects the disease manifestations associated with systemic lupus erythematosus.

Science advances

Lupus nephritis (LN) is an autoimmune disease with substantial morbidity/mortality and limited efficacy of available therapies. Memory T (Tm) lymphocytes infiltrate LN kidneys, contributing to organ damage. Analysis of LN, diabetic nephropathy, and healthy donor kidney biopsies revealed high...

IFN-γ is essential for alveolar macrophage-driven pulmonary inflammation in macrophage activation syndrome.

JCI insight

Gao DK, Salomonis N, Henderlight M, Woods C, Thakkar K, Grom AA, Thornton S, Jordan MB, Wikenheiser-Brokamp KA, Schulert GS.
PMID: 34314387
JCI Insight. 2021 Sep 08;6(17). doi: 10.1172/jci.insight.147593.

Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is a life-threatening cytokine storm complicating systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) driven by IFN-γ. SJIA and MAS are also associated with an unexplained emerging inflammatory lung disease (SJIA-LD), with our recent work supporting pulmonary activation...
