Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Regulate Surgical Brain Injury by Activating the cGAS-STING Pathway
In this study, we found that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) were present in the circulation and brain tissues of rats after SBI, which promoted neuroinflammation, cerebral edema, neuronal cell death, and aggravated neurological dysfunction. Inhibition of NETs formation by peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) inhibitor or disruption of NETs with deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) attenuated SBI-induced damages and improved the recovery of neurological function. We show that SBI triggered the activation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate synthase stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING), and that inhi...

Unusual presentation of disseminated gonococcal infection
A 30-year-old homosexual man living with HIV and receiving virologically suppressive antiretroviral treatment presented to the emergency department with a 3-day history of pain in his left wrist accompanied by fever and chills. On examination, the left wrist showed redness, swelling, tenderness and decreased range of movement. The patient had no history of trauma, insect bites or scratches. Four weeks earlier, he had engaged in unprotected oral sex with a casual partner. Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoea (Ng) were performed from oropharyngeal, anal and urine samples...

When DNA-damage responses meet innate and adaptive immunity
This study examines the most recent developments in the interaction between DDR elements and immunological responses. The DDR network's immune modulators' dual roles may offer new perspectives on treating infectious disorders linked to DNA damage, including cancer, and on the development of target immunotherapy.PMID:38630271 | DOI:10.1007/s00018-024-05214-2 (Source: Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences : CMLS)

GSE244062 Tissue-specific inflammation induced by constitutively active STING is mediated by enhanced TNF signaling
Contributors : Rayk Behrendt ; Hella Luksch ; Angela R ösen-WolffSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Mus musculusConstitutive activation of STING by gain-of-function mutations triggers manifestation of the systemic autoinflammatory disease STING-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (SAVI) in humans and in mice. Murine SAVI is characterized by T cell lymphopenia, severe inflammatory interstitial lung disease, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration with only limited contribution of type I interferon signaling. Here, we show that pharmacologic inhibition of TNF signaling in...

STING-dependent trained immunity contributes to host defense against Clostridium perfringens infection via mTOR signaling
AbstractClostridium perfringens (C. perfringens) infection is recognized as one of the most challenging issues threatening food safety and perplexing agricultural development. To date, the molecular mechanisms of the interactions betweenC. perfringens and the host remain poorly understood. Here, we show that stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-dependent trained immunity protected againstC. perfringens infection through mTOR signaling. Heat-killedCandida albicans (HKCA) training elicited elevated TNF- α and IL-6 production after LPS restimulation in mouse peritoneal macrophages (PM). Although HKCA-trained PM produced de...

The role of the immunosuppressive PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint pathway in the aging process and age-related diseases
AbstractThe accumulation of senescent cells within tissues is a hallmark of the aging process. Senescent cells are also commonly present in many age-related diseases and in the cancer microenvironment. The escape of abnormal cells from immune surveillance indicates that there is some defect in the function of cytotoxic immune cells, e.g., CD8+ T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. Recent studies have revealed that the expression of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) protein is abundantly increased in senescent cells. An increase in the amount of PD-L1 protein protects senescent cells from clearance by the PD-1 checkpoint r...
