Identification and characterisation of small-molecule inhibitors targeting STING

Simone Margret Haag

The recognition of pathogen-derived nucleic acids is a critical mechanism by which the innate immune system detects viral infection. Upon activation, nucleic acid sensors initiate the expression of type I interferons and other inflammatory mediators, subse ...

Chemokine profiling in serum from patients with ovarian cancer reveals candidate biomarkers for recurrence and immune infiltration

Gianrocco Lazzari, Agata Mlynska

The management of advanced ovarian cancer is challenging due to the high frequency of recurrence, often associated with the development of resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy. Molecular analyses revealed the complexity of ovarian cancer with particul ...

Cancer cell-derived long pentraxin 3 (PTX3) promotes melanoma migration through a toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/NF-kappa B signaling pathway

Mélanie Louise Tichet

Cutaneous melanoma is one of the most aggressive cancers characterized by a high plasticity, a propensity for metastasis, and drug resistance. Melanomas are composed of phenotypically diverse subpopulations of tumor cells with heterogeneous molecular profi ...

Podosomes, But not the Maturation status, Determine the Protease-Dependent 3D Migration in human Dendritic cells

Romain Guiet

Dendritic cells (DC) are professional Antigen-Presenting Cells scattered throughout antigen-exposed tissues and draining lymph nodes, and survey the body for pathogens. Their ability to migrate through tissues, a 3D environment, is essential for an effecti ...

Evolution of longevity improves immunity in Drosophila

Bruno Lemaitre

Much has been learned about the genetics of aging from studies in model organisms, but still little is known about naturally occurring alleles that contribute to variation in longevity. For example, analysis of mutants and transgenes has identified insulin ...

Functional characterization of the virulence determinant ESX-1 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Paloma Julia Soler Arnedo

Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease that mainly affects the lungs and causes extensive human morbidity and mortality. It results from infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing intracellular pathogen that can replicate and surv ...

Improving Efficacy and Safety of Agonistic Anti-CD40 Antibody Through Extracellular Matrix Affinity

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Lambert Charles François Potin, Martina Damo, Jun Ishihara, Kazuto Fukunaga

CD40 is an immune costimulatory receptor expressed by antigen-presenting cells. Agonistic anti-CD40 antibodies have demonstrated considerable antitumor effects yet can also elicit serious treatment-related adverse events, such as liver toxicity, including ...

The melanization reaction in Drosophila: More than black or white

Jan Paul Dudzic

The melanization reaction is a rapid and important immune mechanism in arthropods. It results in the production of melanin at the site of injury and around invading microbes. The enzymes responsible for melanogenesis are phenoloxidases (PO), which catalyze ...

Thioester-containing proteins regulate the Toll pathway and play a role in Drosophila defence against microbial pathogens and parasitoid wasps

Bruno Lemaitre, Samuel Rommelaere, Anna Dostalova

Background: Members of the thioester-containing protein (TEP) family contribute to host defence in both insects and mammals. However, their role in the immune response of Drosophila is elusive. In this study, we address the role of TEPs in Drosophila immun ...

Dual angiopoietin-2 and VEGFA inhibition elicits antitumor immunity that is enhanced by PD-1 checkpoint blockade

Michele De Palma, Céline Wyser Rmili, Ece Kadioglu, Nicolo Rigamonti, Damya Laoui, Antonino Cassarà

Pathological angiogenesis is a hallmark of cancer and a therapeutic target. Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT2; also known as ANG2) are proangiogenic cytokines that sustain tumor angiogenesis and limit antitumor immunit ...

Clobetasol propionate causes immunosuppression in zebrafish (Danio rerio) at environmentally relevant concentrations

Kristin Schirmer, Anita Orsolya Hidasi

Synthetic glucocorticoids (GCs) are potential endocrine disrupting compounds that have been detected in the aquatic environment around the world in the low ng/L (nanomolar) range. GCs are used as immunosuppressants in medicine. It is of high interest wheth ...
