Neutrophil-derived PAD4 induces citrullination of CKMT1 exacerbates mucosal inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease

In recent years, increasing evidence from research on Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) has shown that neutrophils play a crucial role in the occurrence and development of intestinal inflammation. IBD includes Crohn’s Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC), and while its pathogenesis is not yet fully understood, abnormal immune responses are clear...

Mechanistic Study on SENP6 Regulation of IFN-I Signaling Pathway and Antiviral Activity

Academic Background and Research Question In antiviral efficacy research, type I interferon (IFN-I) has been widely used clinically due to its broad-spectrum antiviral properties. However, the specific signaling mechanism and regulatory modes of IFN-I remain complex and not fully elucidated. In light of this, experts have begun to pay attention to ...

Chaperone- and PTM-mediated Activation of IRF1 Tames Radiation-induced Cell Death and the Inflammatory Response

Study on IRF1 Transcriptional Activation Regulation of Radiation-Induced Cell Death and Inflammatory Response under Mutagenic Stress Background Recent multi-omics studies have revealed the key role of structural cells in immune regulation, but the mechanism remains unclear. Based on this, this study mainly explores how the transcriptional activatio...

Synergy of TL1A and IL-18 promotes GM-CSF-dependent thymic granulopoiesis in mice

Background Introduction In acute systemic inflammatory conditions, the immune system undergoes significant changes, typically characterized by increased myeloid cell generation and suppressed lymphocyte production. In the thymus specifically, systemic inflammation leads to acute thymic atrophy and subsequent impairment of T lymphocyte generation. H...

HIF-1α and MIF Enhance Neutrophil-Driven Type 3 Immunity and Chondrogenesis in a Murine Spondyloarthritis Model

Research Background and Research Questions Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a typical disease characterized by type 3 immune-driven inflammation and new bone formation (NBF). Although previous studies have shown that Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) plays a key role in the pathogenesis of SpA, its interactions with other molecules and specifi...

Distinct Palmitoylation of FoxP3 Regulates the Function of Regulatory T Cells via Palmitoyltransferases

Unique Foxp3 Palmitoylation Regulates Tregs Function through Palmitoyltransferases Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a crucial role in maintaining immune homeostasis and preventing excessive immune responses. As important suppressors of immune reactions, Tregs help maintain immune tolerance, thereby preventing autoimmune diseases. However, in the tum...

Eomesodermin spatiotemporally orchestrates the early and late stages of NK cell development by targeting Klf2 and T-bet

Spatiotemporal Regulation of KLF2 and T-bet by Eomesodermin During NK Cell Development I. Research Background Natural Killer (NK) cells are important cells in the immune system, capable of recognizing and killing tumor cells and pathogen-infected cells. The generation and development of NK cells depend on the gradual acquisition of a series of spec...

GITR Exacerbates Lysophosphatidylcholine-induced Macrophage Pyroptosis in Sepsis via Posttranslational Regulation of NLRP3

Research Background Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction syndrome caused by the body’s abnormal response to microbial infection. It has high morbidity and mortality, mainly due to excessive inflammatory response and metabolic disorders. Studies have shown that myeloid cells (such as monocytes and macrophages) play a key role in the pathog...

The Protective Roles of Integrin α4β7 and Amphiregulin-Expressing Innate Lymphoid Cells in Lupus Nephritis

Scientific Research Report: The Protective Role of Integrin α4β7 and Type 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells in Nephritis In a recent study, an international research team led by Dr. Seungwon Ryu revealed the critical protective role of integrin α4β7 and Type 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILC2s) in nephritis caused by Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). The study ...
