Диет модернизирует терапевтическое воздействие диметилфумарата, поддерживаемого иммунометаболическим нейтрофильным рецептором HCAR2.

Монометилфумарат (ММФ) и его пронаркодиметилфумарат (ДМП) в настоящее время являются наиболее широко используемыми агентами для лечения множественных склерозов (МС). Однако не все пациенты получают помощь от ДМФ. Мы предположили, что переменная реакция пациентов может быть связана с их питанием. В поддержку этой гипотезы мыши, подвергшиеся экспериментальному аутоиммунальному энцефаломиэлиту (EAE), являющемуся моделью MS, не пользовались лечением DMF при питании богатой лауричной кислотой диетой. В противоположность этому, мыши на нормальном питании чау (NC) и даже мыши на рационе с высоким сод

The Nexus of Inflammation-Induced Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Lung Cancer Progression: A Roadmap to Pentacyclic Triterpenoid-Based Therapies.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Its high mortality is partly due to chronic inflammation that accompanies the disease and stimulates cancer progression. In this review, we analyzed recent studies and highlighted the role of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) as a link between inflammation and lung cancer. In the inflammatory tumor microenvironment (iTME), fibroblasts, macrophages, granulocytes, and lymphocytes produce inflammatory mediators, some of which can induce EMT. This leads to increased invasiveness of tumor cells and self-renewal of cancer …

Maternal CXCR4 deletion results in placental defects and pregnancy loss mediated by immune dysregulation.

CXCR4 is a key regulator of the development of NK cells and DCs, both of which play an important role in early placental development and immune tolerance at the maternal-fetal interface. However, the role of CXCR4 in pregnancy is not well understood. Our study demonstrates that adult-induced global genetic CXCR4 deletion, but not uterine-specific CXCR4 deletion, was associated with increased pregnancy resorptions and decreased litter size. CXCR4-deficient mice had decreased NK cells and increased granulocytes in the decidua, along with increased leukocyte numbers in peripheral blood. We found …
