Inhibition of Sepiapterin Reductase through Formation of a Ternary Complex with Sulfasalazine or other Sulfa Drugs and NADP+

The mechanism of action of sulfasalazine, an anti-inflammatory drug used against inflammatory bowel diseases and rheumatoid arthritis is, despite its medical importance, still not well understood. Recently, it was shown that sulfasalazine and its metabolit ...

Lymphatic vasculature mediates macrophage reverse cholesterol transport in mice

Melody Swartz

Reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) refers to the mobilization of cholesterol on HDL particles (HDL-C) from extravascular tissues to plasma, ultimately for fecal excretion. Little is known about how HDL-C leaves peripheral tissues to reach plasma. We first ...

Synthesis and characterization of a new class of anti-angiogenic agent based on ruthenium clusters

Paul Joseph Dyson, Hubert van den Bergh, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Alexey Nazarov, Olivier Pierre Zava, Michael Groessl, Mathurin Baquié

New triruthenium-carbonyl clusters derivatized with glucose-modified bicyclophosphite ligands have been synthesized. These compounds were found to have cytostatic and cytotoxic activity and depending on the number of bicyclophosphite ligands, and could be ...

A New Twist on Radiation Oncology: Low-Dose Irradiation Elicits Immunostimulatory Macrophages that Unlock Barriers to Tumor Immunotherapy

Michele De Palma, Douglas Hanahan, George Coukos

Tumor-infiltrating macrophages typically promote angiogenesis while suppressing antitumoral T cell responses. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Klug and colleagues report that clinically-feasible, low-dose irradiation redirects macrophage differentiation from ...

Thrombin-sensitive dual fluorescence imaging and therapeutic agent for detection and treatment of synovial inflammation in murine rheumatoid arthritis

Hubert van den Bergh

We have developed a thrombin-sensitive polymeric photosensitizer prodrug (T-PS) to selectively image and eradicate inflammatory lesions in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Thrombin is a serine protease up-regulated in synovial tissues of rheumatoid arthritis (RA ...

Interleukin 28B polymorphisms are the only common genetic variants associated with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in genotype-1 chronic hepatitis C and determine the association between LDL-C and treatment response

Jacques Fellay, Qing Zhu

Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and interleukin 28B (IL28B) polymorphism are associated with sustained viral response (SVR) to peginterferon/ribavirin (pegIFN/RBV) for chronic hepatitis C (CHC) infection. IL28B has been linked with LDL-C ...

Regulation of Monocyte Functional Heterogeneity by miR-146a and Relb

Etienne Meylan, Pedro Romero, Martin Etzrodt

Monocytes serve as a central defense system against infection and injury but can also promote pathological inflammatory responses. Considering the evidence that monocytes exist in at least two subsets committed to divergent functions, we investigated wheth ...

HLA-Bw4 identifies a population of HIV-infected patients with an increased capacity to control viral replication after structured treatment interruption

Jacques Fellay

Objectives: After structured treatment interruption (STI) of treatment for HIV-1, a fraction of patients maintain suppressed viral loads. Prospective identification of such patients might improve HIV-1 treatment, if selected patients are offered STI. Metho ...

Cre-mediated cell ablation contests mast cell contribution in models of antibody- and T cell-mediated autoimmunity

Nicola Harris

Immunological functions of mast cells remain poorly understood. Studies in Kit mutant mice suggest key roles for mast cells in certain antibody- and T cell-mediated autoimmune diseases. However, Kit mutations affect multiple cell types of both immune and n ...
