Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffects of Unilateral Cervical Vagotomy on Murine Dendritic CellsDaniel Sanzio Gimenes da Cruz, Ana Paula Nascimento de Lima, Patrícia Benites Gonçalves da Silva et al.The cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway has been demonstrated to be an important mechanism that modulates several inflammatory diseases. This modulation occurs upon activation of the vagus nerve, which modulates splenic macrophages and lymphocytes through the predominant neurotransmitter, Acetylcholine (ACh). We hypothesized that this modulation could also take place in dendritic cells, as these cells represent a link between the innate and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 12 Jul 2015 · 6,949 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleMelanoma-Associated Suppression of the Dendritic Cell Lines DC2.4 and JawsiiKristian Michael Hargadon, Yonathan Tarekegne Ararso, Osric Anthony Forrest, Chad Mason HarteDendritic cells function as potent regulators of both innate and adaptive immunity to tumors and the regulatory activities of these cells are tightly linked to their maturation and activation status. Despite the critical role played by dendritic cells in the induction of anti-tumor immune responses, the number of dendritic cells that can be isolated from experimental animals is limiting and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 3 Nov 2012 · 9,567 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleRal-Binding Protein is Required for the Maturation and Function of Dendritic CellsJozef Borvak, Mukesh Sahu, Varun Joy et al.Problem statement: Dendritic Cells (DCs) integrate responses of innate and adaptive immune system via transmitting pro-inflammatory and regulatory signals to naïve cells within draining lymph nodes. DCs have high capacity for endocytosis, both Clathrin-Dependent (CDE) and Caveolin-Dependent (CvDE). Approach: We have recently shown that ATP-hydrolysis by the multifunctional transporter protein RLIP76 is the primary determinant of the rate of CDE. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 13 Sep 2010 · 8,098 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleMethamphetamine Inhibits β-Chemokines and Co-Stimulatory Molecule Expression by Dendritic CellsMadhavan P.N. Nair, Jose W. Rodriguez, Irina M. Borodowsky et al.The US is currently experiencing a serious epidemic of methamphetamine (Meth) use entangled with HIV-1 infection. Blood monocyte derived dendritic cells (DC ) are the first line of defense against HIV-1 infection and are the initial target of HIV-1 in injection drug users. Chemokines are known to be HIV-1 suppressing molecules and are positively associated with non- progression of HIV … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,546 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleInterleukin 10 Induces the Maturation of Putative Tolerogenic Monocyte-derived Dendritic Cells as Revealed by GeneArray AnalysisMarianne A. Jakobsen, Bjarne K. MØller, Klaus Rieneck et al.IL-10 is a multifunctional cytokine with known inhibitory effect on DC maturation. In the present study, we show that the presence of IL-10 during the first 6 days of maturation of Mo-DC has severe effects on the phenotype with IL-10 treated Mo-DC retaining a high expression of factors involved in antigen uptake and having low expression of costimulatory factors and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,626 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCell-Based Therapies in the Prevention of Solid Organ Transplant RejectionAdrian E. Morelli, Sherrie J. DivitoProblem statement: Organ transplantation is a life-saving and increasingly common procedure, as it often serves as the only treatment available for end-stage organ disease. Although the constant development of new and more effective immunosuppressive drugs has revolutionized the prevention and treatment of acute graft rejection, these drugs have significant toxicity, greatly increase patient susceptibility to neoplasms and infection and exert … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 26 Jul 2012 · 7,418 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsγ-Aninobutyric acid (GABA) suppresses antigen-specific immune responses in ovalbumin γ(OVA)-immunized BALB/c miceTohru Sakai, Hiroko Okada, Mitsuo Kise et al.γ-Aminobutruic acid (GABA) is known to be a ubiquitous inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Furthermore, recent studies have shown that GABA modulates cardiovascular and respiratory functions. In this study, we examined the effect of GABA on antigen (Ag)-specific immune responses and elucidated the mechanisms underlying those effects in ovalbumin (OVA)-immunized BALB/c mice. OVA-specific proliferative responses were decreased in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMonocytes and their Role in Human Immunodeficiency Virus PathogenesisTara Sassé, Jingqin Wu, Li Zhou, Nitin K. SaksenaMonocytes play several significant immunological roles during HIV infection. The phenotypic pliability and the cellular differentiation ability monocytes possess are crucial to the ways they combat infections and control inflammatory processes. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive snapshot of the importance of monocytes in HIV-1 infection and pathogenesis. Moreover, this review also provides newly emerging data … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 31 Jul 2012 · 8,021 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractFundamental Questions about γδT CellsMoulay Yassine Belghali, Saadia Ba-M’hamed, Mouna Khouchani, Brahim AdmouγδT cells is a minor subgroup of T lymphocytes expressing γδ-T Cell Receptor (TCR), with many subsets, dominated by Vδ2 and Vδ1. γδT cells recognize antigens independently of the context of MHC class I, MHC class II, or CD1 presenting molecules. However, this recognition requires the expression of the transmembrane Butyrophilin proteins by the presenting cells. Their activation is controlled … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 15 Dec 2020 · 6,384 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractFocalize the Structure of Myd88 in TLR Signaling Pathway to Modulate Innate Immune Response: New Target for Old DiseasesShuai Xing, Ping ZhouAll diseases have their Achilles’ Heel to target and this is especially true for immunorelated diseases which must be treated by targeting the immune system somewhere and somehow correctly. In the most recent decade, immunologists recognized that the Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) signaling pathway in innate immune system plays a double-edged role in the pathogenesis of many notorious diseases. Although the … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2017 · 7,865 accessesView PDFCite
