Defining and targeting tumor-associated macrophages in malignant mesothelioma

Defining the ontogeny of tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) is important to develop therapeutic targets for mesothelioma. We identified two distinct macrophage populations in mouse peritoneal and pleural cavities, the monocyte-derived, small peritoneal/ple ...

Eosinophils regulate adipose tissue inflammation and sustain physical and immunological fitness in old age

Johan Auwerx, Norman Lionel Moullan

Adipose tissue eosinophils (ATEs) are important in the control of obesity-associated inflammation and metabolic disease. However, the way in which ageing impacts the regulatory role of ATEs remains unknown. Here, we show that ATEs undergo major age-related ...

Mitochondrial Deacetylase Sirt3 Reduces Vascular Dysfunction and Hypertension While Sirt3 Depletion in Essential Hypertension Is Linked to Vascular Inflammation and Oxidative Stress

Johan Auwerx

Rationale: Hypertension represents a major risk factor for stroke, myocardial infarction, and heart failure and affects 30% of the adult population. Mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to hypertension, but specific mechanisms are unclear. The mitochondri ...

Neutrophils suppress tumor-infiltrating T cells in colon cancer via matrix metalloproteinase-mediated activation of TGF beta

Freddy Radtke, George Coukos, Nadine Fournier, Mauro Delorenzi, Marc-Olivier Sauvain, Amber Dawn Bowler, Markus Germann

High T-cell infiltration in colorectal cancer (CRC) correlates with a favorable disease outcome and immunotherapy response. This, however, is only observed in a small subset of CRC patients. A better understanding of the factors influencing tumor T-cell re ...

House dust mite drives proinflammatory eicosanoid reprogramming and macrophage effector functions

Nicola Harris, Julia Esser-von Bieren, Tiffany Babette Angélique Bouchery

Background Eicosanoid lipid mediators play key roles in type 2 immune responses, for example in allergy and asthma. Macrophages represent major producers of eicosanoids and they are key effector cells of type 2 immunity. We aimed to comprehensively track e ...

Absence of specific alternatively spliced exon of CD44 in macrophages prevents colitis

Ulrich Hoffmann

CD44 is a transmembrane molecule appearing in numerous isoforms generated by insertions of alternatively spliced variant exons (CD44v) and having various binding partners. CD44v7 on T cells was proposed to promote colitis by preventing T-cell apoptosis. He ...

Tumor lymphangiogenesis promotes T cell infiltration and potentiates immunotherapy in melanoma

Douglas Hanahan, Krisztian Homicsko, Marcela Rincón-Restrepo, Christopher Claude Giuseppe Tremblay, Melody Swartz, Amanda Waite Lund, Laura Jeanbart, Lambert Charles François Potin, Manuel Andreas Fankhauser, Sylvie Hauert, Natacha Anne-Sophie Bordry, Maria Anna Sofia Broggi, Elodie Da Costa, Olivier Michielin

In melanoma, vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) expression and consequent lymphangiogenesis correlate with metastasis and poor prognosis. VEGF-C also promotes tumor immunosuppression, suggesting that lymphangiogenesis inhibitors may be clinicall ...

ESCRT proteins restrict constitutive NF-kappa B signaling by trafficking cytokine receptors

Because signaling mediated by the transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) is initiated by ligands and receptors that can undergo internalization, we investigated how endocytic trafficking regulated this key physiological pathway. We deplet ...
