Cryopreserved Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Are Susceptible to T-Cell Mediated Apoptosis Which Is Partly Rescued by IFNγ Licensing.
(Stem cells (Dayton, Ohio), 2016-09)
We have previously demonstrated that cryopreservation and thawing lead to altered
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) functionalities. Here, we further analyzed MSC's fitness
post freeze-thaw. We have observed that thawed MSC ...
RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq reveal SQSTM1/p62 as a key mediator of JunB suppression of NF-κB-dependent inflammation.
(J Invest Dermatol, 2015-04)
Mice with epidermal deletion of JunB transcription factor displayed a psoriasis-like
inflammation. The relevance of these findings to humans and the mechanisms mediating
JunB function are not fully understood. Here we demonstrate ...
Costimulation blockade alters germinal center responses and prevents antibody-mediated rejection.
(Am J Transplant, 2014-01)
De novo donor-specific antibody (DSA) after organ transplantation promotes antibody-mediated
rejection (AMR) and causes late graft loss. Previously, we demonstrated that depletion
using anti-CD3 immunotoxin combined with ...
Patterns of de novo allo B cells and antibody formation in chronic cardiac allograft rejection after alemtuzumab treatment.
(Am J Transplant, 2012-10)
Even though the etiology of chronic rejection (CR) is multifactorial, donor specific
antibody (DSA) is considered to have a causal effect on CR development. Currently
the antibody-mediated mechanisms during CR are poorly ...
Protein tyrosine phosphatase-σ regulates hematopoietic stem cell-repopulating capacity.
(J Clin Invest, 2015-01)
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function is regulated by activation of receptor tyrosine
kinases (RTKs). Receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) counterbalance RTK signaling;
however, the functions of receptor PTPs in ...
TSC1 Promotes B Cell Maturation but Is Dispensable for Germinal Center Formation.
(PLoS One, 2015)
Accumulating evidence indicates that the tuberous sclerosis complex 1 (TSC1), a tumor
suppressor that acts by inhibiting mTOR signaling, plays an important role in the
immune system. We report here that TSC1 differentially ...
CPAG: software for leveraging pleiotropy in GWAS to reveal similarity between human traits links plasma fatty acids and intestinal inflammation.
(Genome Biol, 2015-09-15)
Meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have demonstrated that the
same genetic variants can be associated with multiple diseases and other complex traits.
We present software called CPAG (Cross-Phenotype ...
Human Non-neutralizing HIV-1 Envelope Monoclonal Antibodies Limit the Number of Founder Viruses during SHIV Mucosal Infection in Rhesus Macaques.
(PLoS Pathog, 2015-08)
HIV-1 mucosal transmission begins with virus or virus-infected cells moving through
mucus across mucosal epithelium to infect CD4+ T cells. Although broadly neutralizing
antibodies (bnAbs) are the type of HIV-1 antibodies ...
CLARITY and PACT-based imaging of adult zebrafish and mouse for whole-animal analysis of infections.
(Dis Model Mech, 2015-12)
Visualization of infection and the associated host response has been challenging in
adult vertebrates. Owing to their transparency, zebrafish larvae have been used to
directly observe infection in vivo; however, such larvae ...
The liver kinase B1 is a central regulator of T cell development, activation, and metabolism.
(J Immunol, 2011-10-15)
T cell activation leads to engagement of cellular metabolic pathways necessary to
support cell proliferation and function. However, our understanding of the signal
transduction pathways that regulate metabolism and their ...
