Mast Cell: A Multi-Functional Master Cell.

Frontiers in immunology

Krystel-Whittemore M, Dileepan KN, Wood JG.
PMID: 26779180
Front Immunol. 2016 Jan 06;6:620. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2015.00620. eCollection 2015.

Mast cells are immune cells of the myeloid lineage and are present in connective tissues throughout the body. The activation and degranulation of mast cells significantly modulates many aspects of physiological and pathological conditions in various settings. With respect...

Cigarette Smoke Amplifies Inflammatory Response and Atherosclerosis Progression Through Activation of the H1R-TLR2/4-COX2 Axis.

Frontiers in immunology

Barua RS, Sharma M, Dileepan KN.
PMID: 26617606
Front Immunol. 2015 Nov 09;6:572. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2015.00572. eCollection 2015.

Emerging evidence suggests that infection and persistent inflammation are key players in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although it is well established that cigarette smoke (CS) promotes atherosclerotic CVD, very little is known about the potential impact...

Altered CD38/Cyclic ADP-Ribose Signaling Contributes to the Asthmatic Phenotype.

Journal of allergy

Jude JA, Dileepan M, Panettieri RA, Walseth TF, Kannan MS.
PMID: 23213344
J Allergy (Cairo). 2012;2012:289468. doi: 10.1155/2012/289468. Epub 2012 Nov 20.

CD38 is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed in airway smooth muscle cells. The enzymatic activity of CD38 generates cyclic ADP-ribose from β-NAD. Cyclic ADP-ribose mobilizes intracellular calcium during activation of airway smooth muscle cells by G-protein-coupled receptors through activation of...

Exploration of RNA-Seq data to identify a potential pathogen of the leaf-mining moth, .

Data in brief

Etebari K, Taylor DBJ, Rahman MM, Dhileepan K, Furlong MJ, Asgari S.
PMID: 34977297

Effect Of Dual sEH/COX-2 Inhibition on Allergen-Induced Airway Inflammation.

Frontiers in pharmacology

Dileepan M, Rastle-Simpson S, Greenberg Y, Wijesinghe DS, Kumar NG, Yang J, Hwang SH, Hammock BD, Sriramarao P, Rao SP.
PMID: 31611798
Front Pharmacol. 2019 Sep 27;10:1118. doi: 10.3389/fphar.2019.01118. eCollection 2019.

Arachidonic acid metabolites resulting from the cyclooxygenase (COX), lipoxygenase, and cytochrome P450 oxidase enzymatic pathways play pro- and anti-inflammatory roles in allergic airway inflammation (AAI) and asthma. Expression of COX-2 and soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) are elevated in allergic...

Phagocytosis of mast cell granules results in decreased macrophage superoxide production.

Mediators of inflammation

Shah BA, Li Y, Stechschulte DJ, Dileepan KN.
PMID: 18475672
Mediators Inflamm. 1995;4(6):406-12. doi: 10.1155/S0962935195000652.

The mechanism by which phagocytosed mast cell granules (MCGs) inhibit macrophage superoxide production has not been defined. In this study, rat peritoneal macrophages were co-incubated with either isolated intact MCGs or MCG-sonicate, and their respiratory burst capacity and morphology...

Protective Role of Mast Cells in Primary Systemic Vasculitis: A Perspective.

Frontiers in immunology

Springer JM, Raveendran VV, Gierer SA, Maz M, Dileepan KN.
PMID: 28878769
Front Immunol. 2017 Aug 23;8:990. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2017.00990. eCollection 2017.

Mast cells are important cells of the immune system. Although traditionally considered as key players in allergic and hypersensitivity reactions, emerging evidence suggests that mast cells have many complex roles in vascular disease. These include regulation of vasodilation, angiogenesis,...

Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Protein: Expression, Purification, and Its Biochemical Characterization and Utility in Serological Assay Development to Assess Immunological Responses to SARS-CoV-2 Infection.

Pathogens (Basel, Switzerland)

Di D, Dileepan M, Ahmed S, Liang Y, Ly H.
PMID: 34451501
Pathogens. 2021 Aug 16;10(8). doi: 10.3390/pathogens10081039.

The SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (N) binds a single-stranded viral RNA genome to form a helical ribonucleoprotein complex that is packaged into virion particles. N is relatively conserved among coronaviruses and consists of the N-terminal domain (NTD) and C-terminal domain...
