The natural killer cell response to HCV infection.

Immune network

Ahlenstiel G.
PMID: 24198741
Immune Netw. 2013 Oct;13(5):168-76. doi: 10.4110/in.2013.13.5.168. Epub 2013 Oct 26.

In the last few years major progress has been made in better understanding the role of natural killer (NK) cells in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. This includes multiple pathways by which HCV impairs or limits NK cells activation....

Smith KR, Suppiah V, O'Connor K, Berg T, Weltman M, Abate ML, Spengler U, Bassendine M, Matthews G, Irving WL, Powell E, Riordan S, Ahlenstiel G, Stewart GJ, Bahlo M, George J, Booth DR.
PMID: 21884576
Genome Med. 2011 Aug 31;3(8):57. doi: 10.1186/gm273.

BACKGROUND: The hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects nearly 3% of the World's population, causing severe liver disease in many. Standard of care therapy is currently pegylated interferon alpha and ribavirin (PegIFN/R), which is effective in less than half of...

Pharmacogenomics of hepatitis C infections: personalizing therapy.

Genome medicine

Booth DR, Ahlenstiel G, George J.
PMID: 23268841
Genome Med. 2012 Dec 26;4(12):99. doi: 10.1186/gm400. eCollection 2012.

It is a widely held view that drug response genes have not proved as useful in clinical practice as anticipated at the start of the genomic era. An exception is in the treatment for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV)...

Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Density Increases With Increasing Histopathological Severity of Crohn's Disease.

Inflammatory bowel diseases

Schroder AL, Chami B, Liu Y, Doyle CM, El Kazzi M, Ahlenstiel G, Ahmad G, Pathma-Nathan N, Collins G, Toh J, Harman A, Byrne S, Ctercteko G, Witting PK.
PMID: 34724042
Inflamm Bowel Dis. 2021 Nov 01; doi: 10.1093/ibd/izab239. Epub 2021 Nov 01.

BACKGROUND: Intestinal neutrophil recruitment is a characteristic feature of the earliest stages of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Neutrophil elastase (NE) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) mediate the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs); NETs produce the bactericidal oxidant hypochlorous acid (HOCl),...

Optimal Isolation Protocols for Examining and Interrogating Mononuclear Phagocytes From Human Intestinal Tissue.

Frontiers in immunology

Doyle CM, Vine EE, Bertram KM, Baharlou H, Rhodes JW, Dervish S, Gosselink MP, Di Re A, Collins GP, Reza F, Toh JWT, Pathma-Nathan N, Ahlenstiel G, Ctercteko G, Cunningham AL, Harman AN, Byrne SN.
PMID: 34566985
Front Immunol. 2021 Sep 01;12:727952. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2021.727952. eCollection 2021.

The human intestine contains numerous mononuclear phagocytes (MNP), including subsets of conventional dendritic cells (cDC), macrophages (Mf) and monocytes, each playing their own unique role within the intestinal immune system and homeostasis. The ability to isolate and interrogate MNPs...

Achieving HIV-1 Control through RNA-Directed Gene Regulation.

Genes

Klemm V, Mitchell J, Cortez-Jugo C, Cavalieri F, Symonds G, Caruso F, Kelleher AD, Ahlenstiel C.
PMID: 27941595
Genes (Basel). 2016 Dec 07;7(12). doi: 10.3390/genes7120119.

HIV-1 infection has been transformed by combined anti-retroviral therapy (ART), changing a universally fatal infection into a controllable infection. However, major obstacles for an HIV-1 cure exist. The HIV latent reservoir, which exists in resting CD4+ T cells, is...

Controlling HIV-1: Non-Coding RNA Gene Therapy Approaches to a Functional Cure.

Frontiers in immunology

Ahlenstiel CL, Suzuki K, Marks K, Symonds GP, Kelleher AD.
PMID: 26441979
Front Immunol. 2015 Sep 16;6:474. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2015.00474. eCollection 2015.

The current treatment strategy for HIV-1 involves prolonged and intensive combined antiretroviral therapy (cART), which successfully suppresses plasma viremia. It has transformed HIV-1 infection into a chronic disease. However, despite the success of cART, a latent form of HIV-1...

Once-daily tacrolimus extended-release formulation: 1 year after conversion in stable pediatric kidney transplant recipients.

International journal of nephrology

Pape L, Heidotting N, Ahlenstiel T.
PMID: 21647310
Int J Nephrol. 2011;2011:126251. doi: 10.4061/2011/126251. Epub 2011 May 22.

It is speculated that a once-daily dosage of immunosuppression can increase adherence and thereby graft survival. Until now, there have been no studies on once-daily use of Tacrolimus extended-release formulation (TAC-ER) in children following pediatric kidney transplantation. In 11...

Novel RNA Duplex Locks HIV-1 in a Latent State via Chromatin-mediated Transcriptional Silencing.

Molecular therapy. Nucleic acids

Ahlenstiel C, Mendez C, Lim ST, Marks K, Turville S, Cooper DA, Kelleher AD, Suzuki K.
PMID: 26506039
Mol Ther Nucleic Acids. 2015 Oct 27;4:e261. doi: 10.1038/mtna.2015.31.

Transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) of mammalian genes can be induced by short interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting promoter regions. We previously reported potent TGS of HIV-1 by siRNA (PromA), which targets tandem NF-κB motifs within the viral 5'LTR. In this...

Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Eradication With Interferon-Free Direct-Acting Antiviral-Based Therapy Results in KLRG1+ HCV-Specific Memory Natural Killer Cells.

The Journal of infectious diseases

Direct acting antiviral therapies rapidly clear chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and restore natural killer (NK) cell function. We investigated NK-cell memory formation following HCV clearance by examining NK-cell phenotype and responses from control and chronic HCV patients...

Efficacy of Telephone Health Coaching Integration with Standard Multidisciplinary Care for Adults with Obesity Attending a Weight Management Service: A Pilot Study.

PMID: 24301868
Mol Ther Nucleic Acids. 2013 Dec 03;2:e137. doi: 10.1038/mtna.2013.64.

Despite prolonged and intensive application, combined antiretroviral therapy cannot eradicate human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 because it is harbored as a latent infection, surviving for long periods of time. Alternative approaches are required to overcome the limitations of current therapy....
