Chapter
Personalized Immuno-Oncology with Immunodeficiency Mouse Models
In the past decades, cancer therapies are evolved from a non-specific approach to a precise and accurate therapy. Precision (or personalized) cancer therapy, in which a patient’s own tumor information is used ...

Inhibition of Microglial NLRP3 with MCC950 Attenuates Microglial Morphology and NLRP3/Caspase-1/IL-1β Signaling In Stress-induced Mice
Major depressive disorder is characterized by the deficiencies of monoamine neurotransmitters, neurotrophic factors and persistent neuroinflammation. Microglial activation has been associated with neuroinflamm...

AAV-Vectored Fms-Related Tyrosine Kinase 3 Ligand Inhibits CD34+ Progenitor Cell Engraftment in Humanized Mice
Humanized mice have become useful animal models for HIV/AIDS. Since NOD.Cg-Prkdc scid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ (NSG) mice allow the engraftment of primary human immune cells, we aim to determine the role of human Fms-r...

Brain Invasion by CD4+ T Cells Infected with a Transmitted/Founder HIV-1BJZS7 During Acute Stage in Humanized Mice
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) is one of the common causes of cognitive dysfunction and morbidity among infected patients. However, to date, it remains unknown if ...

Involvement of acid-sensing ion channel 1a in matrix metabolism of endplate chondrocytes under extracellular acidic conditions through NF-κB transcriptional activity
Acidic conditions are present in degenerated intervertebral discs and are believed to be responsible for matrix breakdown. Acid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a) is expressed in endplate chondrocytes, and its ac...

The TRIMCyp genotype in four species of macaques in China
The tripartite motif protein (TRIM)5α/CypA fusion protein TRIMCyp in Old World monkeys is generally considered unable to restrict HIV-1 replication. Monkeys with TRIMCyp can serve as a unique animal model for ...

Lipopolysaccharide pretreatment protects against ischemia/reperfusion injury via increase of HSP70 and inhibition of NF-κB
It has been reported that pretreatment of rats with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) increases myocardial functional recovery in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) hearts. However, the mechanisms by which LPS induces cardiopr...

FcεRIα gene –18483A>C polymorphism affects transcriptional activity through YY1 binding
Three frequent genetic polymorphisms in the human high-affinity IgE receptor α-subunit (FcεRIα) were shown to be associated with allergic disorders and/or total serum IgE levels in allergic patients. Two of th...

Suppressive effect of Elf-1 on FcεRI α-chain expression in primary mast cells
The high-affinity receptor for immunoglobulin E (IgE), FcεRI, is specifically expressed in mast cells and basophils and plays a key role in IgE-mediated allergic reactions. The transcription factor Elf-1 has b...

Identification and expression analysis of alternatively spliced isoforms of human interleukin-23 receptor gene in normal lymphoid cells and selected tumor cells
Interleukin 23 (IL-23) is a new member of the IL-12 family that plays a critical role in promoting the proliferation of memory T helper 1 cells. The heterodimerized IL-23 receptor is composed of a shared IL-12...
