B cell signalling as therapeutic target.
B iological therapy holds the promise of specificity of intervention. Recent progress in development of such therapies has proved that rational targeting can lead to clinical benefit. B cells pose an attractive target in autoimmunity. Approaches currently being tested lead to depletion of B cells or at least circulating B cells. Such therapies appear remarkably benign, but the effects of repeat...
متن کاملP 86: CD166 as a Therapeutic Target in Autoimmune Diseases
About 3 decades ago CD6 identified as one of the first antigens expresses on the majority of T cells and a subset of B cells. CD6 regulates cellular adhesion migration across the endothelial and epithelial cells. In recent years researches indicate its role in pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Many researches have been done in recent years to block CD6 by CD6 mono clonal antibodies, IOR-T1 a...
متن کاملApoptosis: from Signalling Pathways to Therapeutic Tools
Apoptosis or programmed cell death is a gene regulated phenomenon which is important in both physiological and pathological conditions. It is characterized by distinct morphological features including chromatin condensation, cell and nuclear shrinkage, membrane blebbing and oligonucleosomal DNA fragmentation. Although, two major apoptotic pathways including 1) the death receptor (extrinsic) and...
متن کاملB cells as a therapeutic target in autoimmune disease
Historically, the pathogenic role of B cells in autoimmune disease has been attributed to the formation of autoantibodies which, as soluble immunoglobulins or immunocomplexes, can trigger cellular damage and initiate the inflammatory cascade. Recent results from clinical trials applying B cell-directed therapeutics in rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus have challenged such tr...
متن کاملNew insights into redox homeostasis as a therapeutic target in B-cell malignancies
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The goal of this review is to summarize recent advances in our understanding of the regulation of redox homeostasis and the subtype-specific role of antioxidant enzymes in B-cell-derived malignancies. Furthermore, it presents selected prooxidative therapeutic strategies against B-cell neoplasms. RECENT FINDINGS Recent reports have shown that the disturbed redox homeostasis i...
