Boosted Pro-Inflammatory Activity in Human PBMCs by Lipopolysaccharide and SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Is Regulated by alpha-1 Antitrypsin

Florian Maria Wurm, Divor Kiseljak

For the treatment of severe COVID-19, supplementation with human plasma-purified alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) to patients is currently considered. AAT inhibits host proteases that facilitate viral entry and possesses broad anti-inflammatory and immunomodulato ...

Cytokine engineering for targeted cancer immunotherapy

Li Tang, Lucia Bonati

Cytokines are key modulators of the immune responses and represent promising therapeutics for a variety of cancers. However, successful translation of cytokine-based therapy to the clinic is limited by, among others, severe toxicities and lack of efficacy ...

C-reactive protein and white matter microstructural changes in COVID-19 patients with encephalopathy

Alessandra Griffa

Encephalopathy is a neurological complication of COVID-19. The objective of this exploratory study is to investigate the link between systemic inflammation and brain microstructural changes (measured by diffusion-weighted imaging) in patients with COVID-19 ...

IL-17 controls central nervous system autoimmunity through the intestinal microbiome

Sandrine Natacha Isaac

Interleukin-17A- (IL-17A) and IL-17F-producing CD4(+) T helper cells (T(H)17 cells) are implicated in the development of chronic inflammatory diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). T-H 17 ...

Structural mechanism of cGAS inhibition by the nucleosome

Rudolf Hovius, Beat Fierz, Andrea Ablasser, Baptiste Claude André Guey, Alexiane Clara Decout, Pauline Ambre Melenec, Simone Cavadini, Kristina Makasheva, Sélène-Véronique Glück

The DNA sensor cGAS initiates innate immune responses following microbial infection, cellular stress, and cancer1. Upon activation by double-stranded DNA, cytosolic cGAS produces 2’3’ cyclic GMP-AMP and triggers inflammatory cytokine and type I interferon ...

Growth differentiation factor 15 protects against the aging-mediated systemic inflammatory response in humans and mice

Johan Auwerx, Jun Yong Kim, Ludger Jan Elzuë Goeminne, Dongryeol Ryu

Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with aging-mediated inflammatory responses, leading to metabolic deterioration, development of insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is an important mitokine generated in r ...

cGAS regulation and activity during genotoxic stress

Sélène-Véronique Glück

The innate immune system has evolved to detect pathogens through germlineencoded pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Nucleic acid sensors, a defined class of PRRs, bind to microbial and viral nucleic acids and trigger the production of type I interferons ...

Selection of Vibrio crassostreae relies on a plasmid expressing a type 6 secretion system cytotoxic for host immune cells

Melanie Blokesch, Candice Stoudmann, Frédérique Marie Jeanne Le Roux

Pacific oyster mortality syndrome affects juveniles of Crassostrea gigas oysters and threatens the sustainability of commercial and natural stocks of this species. Vibrio crassostreae has been repeatedly isolated from diseased animals and the majority of t ...

Cardiotrophin-1 Deficiency Abrogates Atherosclerosis Progression

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Rodrigo Araujo Fraga Da Silva

Cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) is associated with cardiovascular (CV) diseases. We investigated the effect of CT-1 deficiency in the development and progression of atherosclerosis in double knockout Apoe(-/-)ct-1(-/-) mice. Apoe(-/-) C57Bl/6 or Apoe(-/-)ct-1(-/-) ...
