ABSTRACT During sterile inflammation, tissue damage induces excessive activation and infiltration of neutrophils into tissues, where they critically contribute to organ dysfunction. Tight regulation of neutrophil migration and their effector functions is crucial to prevent overshooting immune responses. Neutrophils utilize more glutamine, the … Read more

ABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a complex disease influenced by alterations in the skin microbiome and immune dysregulation. Despite the recognized role of these factors, the specific pathways by which distinct microbial populations affect skin immunity remain insufficiently understood. On a molecular level, … Read more

J Leukoc Biol. 2024 Nov 4:qiae241. doi: 10.1093/jleuko/qiae241. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol derived from plants such as grapes and berries. In addition to its role in plants during injury and infection, various cardioprotective, neuroprotective, and longevity-promoting effects were reported in diverse model organisms. The primary target of resveratrol is … Read more

Using lineage-specific Piezo1 knockout mice (Piezo1cKO), we show that loss of Piezo1 in CD4+ T cells significantly increased IFNγ and IL-17 production in vitro under TH1 and … Read more

J Leukoc Biol. 2024 Oct 26:qiae235. doi: 10.1093/jleuko/qiae235. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are promising promoters in venous thromboembolism (VTE). In the present study, we have investigated the potential thrombogenic role of NETs in colorectal cancer (CRC). A total of 583 patients with gastrointestinal malignancies who were diagnosed with or without … Read more

J Leukoc Biol. 2024 Oct 25:qiae227. doi: 10.1093/jleuko/qiae227. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Natural Killer (NK) cells are critical innate immune cells involved in the clearance of virally infected and malignant cells. Human NK cells are distinguished by their surface expression of CD56 and a lack of CD3. While CD56 expression and cell surface density … Read more

Little is known on mechanisms that link eosinophils and airway epithelial cells before and after these cells are infiltrated by eosinophils during allergic response. Given that innate immune mechanisms, … Read more

ABSTRACT The role of MIR654 in Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL) and whether it impacts expression of MYC, and its downstream activated MIR9 is not known. Expression of MYC, MYCN, MYCL, MIR9/3P, MIR654/5P, and MIR654/3P were assessed by qRT-PCR in biopsy samples from Epstein-Barr virus … Read more

J Leukoc Biol. 2024 Oct 24:qiae236. doi: 10.1093/jleuko/qiae236. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Rheumatoid arthritis is a common autoimmune disease, but little is known about the characteristics of the B cell repertoires in the peripheral blood. In this study, the peripheral IgM repertoires of early rheumatoid arthritis (ERA) patients were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing and … Read more
