Activity after Site-Directed Mutagenesis of CD59 on Complement-Mediated Cytolysis
CD59 may inhibit the cytolytic activity of complement by binding to C8/C9 and protect host cell membranes against homologous membrane attack complex (MAC). However, CD59 is widely overexpressed on tumor cells,...

Immunoglobulin Expression and Its Biological Significance in Cancer Cells
It is generally believed that the expression of a gene is restricted “within the right place and at the right time”. This principle has long been considered applicable as well to the expression of immunoglobul...

Mitoxantrone-Mediated Apoptotic B16-F1 Cells Induce Specific Anti-tumor Immune Response
In the process of cell apoptosis induced by specific reagents, calreticulin (CRT) in endoplasmic reticulum is transferred and coated onto the cell membrane. As a sort of specific ligand, the CRT on the surface...

IFN-α production by human mononuclear cells infected with varicella-zoster virus through TLR9-dependent and -independent pathways
Understanding the defense mechanisms of the host of an organism is important for infection control. In previous studies, we demonstrated that interferon-α (IFN-α), but not IL-12, was produced by human peripher...

Higher levels of circulating monocyte–platelet aggregates are correlated with viremia and increased sCD163 levels in HIV-1 infection
Increased levels of monocyte–platelet aggregates (MPAs) are reported to be highly correlated with cardiovascular events. In this study, the MPA levels in different monocyte subsets and the associations between...

Estrogen upregulates MICA/B expression in human non-small cell lung cancer through the regulation of ADAM17
Estrogen is involved in promoting lung cancer cell division and metastasis. MICA and MICB function as ligands for NKG2D, an important immunoreceptor expressed on natural killer (NK) cells. However, whether est...

Effect of ebosin on modulating interleukin-1β-induced inflammatory responses in rat fibroblast-like synoviocytes
The interleukin-1β-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and NF-κB signaling pathways are involved in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. Ebosin, a novel exopolysaccharide (EPS), exhibits anti-inflamma...

Activation of TLR7 increases CCND3 expression via the downregulation of miR-15b in B cells of systemic lupus erythematosus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by B-cell hyperreactivity. The Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) signaling pathway is abnormally activated in SLE B cells. CyclinD3 (CCND3) p...

Ligation of CD180 inhibits IFN-α signaling in a Lyn-PI3K-BTK-dependent manner in B cells
A hallmark of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the consistent production of various auto-antibodies by auto-reactive B cells. Interferon-α (IFN-α) signaling is highly activated in SLE B cells and plays a ...

Inducible Rubicon facilitates viral replication by antagonizing interferon production
The RUN domain Beclin-1-interacting cysteine-rich-containing (Rubicon) protein is involved in the maturation step of autophagy and the endocytic pathway as a Beclin-1-binding partner, but little is known regar...

Open AccessLiver-infiltrating CD11b−CD27− NK subsets account for NK-cell dysfunction in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and are associated with tumor progression
Natural killer (NK) cells have a vital role in killing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells; however, the mechanism underlying tumor-infiltrating NK (TINK)-cell dysfunction remains poorly understood. Using flo...

Extracellular ADP facilitates monocyte recruitment in bacterial infection via ERK signaling
As the most prominent clinical drug targets for the inhibition of platelet aggregation, P2Y12 and P2Y13 have been found to be highly expressed in both platelets and macrophages. However, the roles and function of...

Proteomic analysis reveals distinctive protein profiles involved in CD8+ T cell-mediated murine autoimmune cholangitis
Autoimmune cholangitis arises from abnormal innate and adaptive immune responses in the liver, and T cells are critical drivers in this process. However, little is known about the regulation of their functiona...

Open AccessA compromised specific humoral immune response against the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain is related to viral persistence and periodic shedding in the gastrointestinal tract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been redetected after discharge in some coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. The reason for the recurrent positivity of the test and th...
