BACKGROUND: A water-soluble ingredient of mature leaves of the tropical mahogany 'Neem' (Azadirachta indica), was identified as glycoprotein, thus being named as 'Neem Leaf Glycoprotein' (NLGP). This non-toxic leaf-component regressed cancerous murine tumors (melanoma, carcinoma, sarcoma) recurrently in different experimental circumstances by boosting prime antitumor immune attributes. Such antitumor immunomodulation, aid cytotoxic T cell (Tc )-based annihilation of tumor cells. This study focused on identifying and characterizing the signaling gateway that initiate this systemic immunomodulation...

Research indicates that there are links between m6A, m5C and m1A modifications and the development of different types of tumours. However, it is not yet clear if these modifications are involved in the prognosis of LUAD. The TCGA-LUAD dataset was used as for signature training, while the validation cohort was created by amalgamating publicly accessible GEO datasets including GSE29013, GSE30219, GSE31210, GSE37745 and GSE50081. The study focused on 33 genes that are regulated by m6A, m5C or m1A (mRG), which were used to form mRGs clusters and clusters of mRG differentially expressed genes clusters (mRG-DEG clusters)...

Human Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEIs) encompass a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders, ranging from mild cases to severe, life-threatening types. Among these, Primary Immune Regulatory Disorders (PIRDs) constitute a subset of IEIs characterized by diverse clinical phenotypes, prominently featuring severe atopy, autoimmunity, lymphoproliferation, hyperinflammation, autoinflammation, and susceptibility to malignancies. According to the latest report from the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS), PIRDs arise from mutations in various genes including LYST, RAB27A, AP3B1, AP3D1, PRF1, UNC13D, STX11, STXBP2, FAAP24, SLC7A7, RASGRP1, CD70, CTPS1, RLTPR, ITK, MAGT1, PRKCD, TNFRSF9, SH2DIA, XIAP, CD27 (TNFRSF7), FAS (TNFRSF6), FASLG (TNFSF6), CASP10, CASP8, FADD, LRBA, STAT3, AIRE, ITCH, ZAP70, TPP2, JAK1, PEPD, FOXP3, IL2RA, CTLA4, BACH2, IL2RB, DEF6, FERMT1, IL10, IL10RA, IL10RB, NFAT5, TGFB1, and RIPK1 genes...

Intestinal immune responses to microbes are controlled by the cytokine IL-10 to avoid immune pathology. Here, we use single-cell RNA sequencing of colon lamina propria leukocytes (LPLs) along with RNA-seq and ATAC-seq of purified CD4+ T cells to show that the transcription factors Blimp-1 (encoded by Prdm1) and c-Maf co-dominantly regulate Il10 while negatively regulating proinflammatory cytokines in effector T cells. Double-deficient Prdm1fl/fl Maffl/fl Cd4Cre mice infected with Helicobacter hepaticus developed severe colitis with an increase in TH 1/NK/ILC1 effector genes in LPLs, while Prdm1fl/fl Cd4Cre and Maffl/fl Cd4Cre mice exhibited moderate pathology and a less-marked type 1 effector response...

Stains are known to be anti-inflammatory, but the mechanism remains poorly understood. Here we show that macrophages, either treated with statin in vitro or from statin-treated mice, have reduced cholesterol levels and higher expression of Jmjd3 , a H3K27me3 demethylase. We provide evidence that lowering cholesterol levels in macrophages suppresses the ATP synthase in the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) and changes the proton gradient in the mitochondria. This activates NFkB and Jmjd3 expression to remove the repressive marker H3K27me3...

UNLABELLED: Asbestos and BAP1 germline mutations are risk factors for malignant mesothelioma (MM). While it is well accepted that amphibole asbestos is carcinogenic, the role of serpentine (chrysotile) asbestos in MM has been debated. To address this controversy, we assessed whether minimal exposure to chrysotile could significantly increase the incidence and rate of MM onset in germline Bap1-mutant mice. With either crocidolite or chrysotile, and at each dose tested, MMs occurred at a significantly higher rate and earlier onset time in Bap1-mutant mice than in wild-type littermates...

Androgens can modulate immune cell function and may contribute to differences in the prevalence and severity of common inflammatory conditions. Although most immune cells are androgen targets, our understanding of how changes in androgen bioavailability can affect immune responses is incomplete. Androgens alter immune cell composition, phenotype and activation by modulating expression and secretion of inflammatory mediators or by altering development and maturation of immune cell precursors. Androgens are generally associated with having suppressive effects on the immune system but their impacts are cell and tissue context dependent and can be highly nuanced even within immune cell subsets...

The prognosis of autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs), including Hashimoto's disease (HD) and Graves' disease (GD), is difficult to predict. DNA methylation regulates gene expression of immune mediating factors. Interleukin (IL)-10 is a Th2 cytokine that downregulates inflammatory cytokines produced by Th1 cells. To clarify the role of methylation of the IL10 gene in the prognosis of AITD, we evaluated the methylation levels of two CpG sites in the IL10 promoter using pyrosequencing. The methylation levels of the -185 CpG site of the IL10 gene were related to age and GD intractability in GD patients...

BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial (Mito) dysfunction in IBD reduces mucosal O2 consumption and increases O2 delivery to the microbiome. Increased enteric O2 promotes blooms of facultative anaerobes (eg. Proteobacteria ) and restricts obligate anaerobes (eg. Firmicutes ). Dysbiotic metabolites negatively affect host metabolism and immunity.
