LRH-1 mediates anti-inflammatory and antifungal phenotype of IL-13-activated macrophages through the PPAR gamma ligand synthesis

Kristina Schoonjans, Matthias Alexander Sokrates Stein

Liver receptor homologue-1 (LRH-1) is a nuclear receptor involved in the repression of inflammatory processes in the hepatointestinal tract. Here we report that LRH-1 is expressed in macrophages and induced by the Th2 cytokine IL-13 via a mechanism involvi ...

Mucosal immune responses following intestinal nematode infection

Nicola Harris

In most natural environments, the large majority of mammals harbour parasitic helminths that often live as adults within the intestine for prolonged periods (1-2years) . Although these organisms have been eradicated to a large extent within westernized hum ...

IL-1β Suppresses Innate IL-25 and IL-33 Production and Maintains Helminth Chronicity

Nicola Harris, Benjamin John Marsland, Mario Michael Zaiss, Ilaria Mosconi, Nadine Guenat

Approximately 2 billion people currently suffer from intestinal helminth infections, which are typically chronic in nature and result in growth retardation, vitamin A deficiency, anemia and poor cognitive function. Such chronicity results from co-evolution ...

Role of macrophage scavenger receptors in atherosclerosis

Accumulating evidence indicates that atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease. The key innate immune cells that are involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis are circulating monocytes and plaque macrophages. Complex interplay between immune ...

Expression of the leptin receptor outside of bone marrow-derived cells regulates tuberculosis control and lung macrophage MHC expression

John McKinney

Leptin is a pleiotropic hormone proposed to link nutritional status to the development of strong Th1 immunity. Because Mycobacterium tuberculosis control is affected by starvation and diabetes, we studied the role of the leptin receptor in regulating disti ...

Surface modifications based on the cyanobacterial siderophore anachelin: from structure to functional biomaterials design

Karl Gademann, Jean-Yves Wach, Joanna Kobylinska, Tom Woods

This review describes the design, synthesis and evaluation of novel catechol based anchors for surface modification. The anachelin chromophore, the catecholate fragment of the siderophore anachelin from the cyanobacterium Anabaena cylindrica, allows for th ...

IL-13 attenuates gastrointestinal candidiasis in normal and immunodeficient RAG-2(-/-) mice via peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma activation

Johan Auwerx

We recently demonstrated that in vitro peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) activation of mouse peritoneal macrophages by IL-13 or PPARgamma ligands promotes uptake and killing of Candida albicans through mannose receptor overexpres ...

Selective suppression of dendritic cell functions by Mycobacterium ulcerans toxin mycolactone

Stewart Cole

Mycolactone is a polyketide toxin produced by Mycobacterium ulcerans (Mu), the causative agent of the skin disease Buruli ulcer (BU). Surprisingly, infected tissues lack inflammatory infiltrates. Structural similarities between mycolactone and immunosuppre ...

Requirement for neutralizing antibodies to control bone marrow transplantation-associated persistent viral infection and to reduce immunopathology

Nicola Harris

Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is commonly used in the treatment of leukemia, however its therapeutic application is partly limited by the high incidence of associated opportunistic infections. We modeled this clinical situation by infecting mice that u ...

Role of KatG catalase-peroxidase in mycobacterial pathogenesis: countering the phagocyte oxidative burst

John McKinney

Reactive nitrogen species (RNS) play an essential role in host defence against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in the mouse model of tuberculosis (TB), as evidenced by the increased susceptibility of mice deficient in the inducible isoform of nitric oxide ...
