Leukocyte Dysfunction and reduced CTLA-4 Expression are Associated with Perianal Crohn's Disease
In conclusion, IL-6, TNF, and CTLA-4 exhibit a distinct expression pattern in CD patients with a history of PCD, regardless of disease activity. These findings clarify some mechanisms involved in the development of the perianal manifestations and may have a great impact in the disease management.PMID:38517030 | DOI:10.1093/cei/uxae027 (Source: Clinical and Developmental Immunology)

Neutrophil extracellular traps induce pyroptosis of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells by activating the NLRP3 inflammasome
This study aimed to investigate the specific mechanism underlying NET-induced injury to human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMECs). HPMECs were stimulated with NETs (200 ng/ml) in vitro. Cell death was detected by propidium iodide staining. The morphological changes of the cells were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Pyroptosis markers were detected by western blot, immunofluorescence and quantitative real-time PCR, and the related inflammatory factor IL-1β was verified by ELISA. Compared with the control group, HPMECs mortality increased after NET stimulation, and the number of pyroptosis ...

The role of extracellular vesicle immune checkpoints in cancer
Clin Exp Immunol. 2024 Mar 22:uxae026. doi: 10.1093/cei/uxae026. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTImmune checkpoints (ICPs) play a crucial role in regulating the immune response. In the tumor, malignant cells can hijack the immunosuppressive effects of inhibitory ICPs to promote tumor progression. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are produced by a variety of cells and contain bioactive molecules on their surface or within their lumen. The expression of ICPs has also been detected on EVs. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that extracellular vesicle immune checkpoints (EV ICPs) have immunomodulatory effects and are involved i...
