Neutrophil-mediated innate immune resistance to mycobacteria.
Neutrophils contain antimicrobial peptides with antituberculous activity, but their contribution to immune resistance to tuberculosis (TB) infection has not been previously investigated to our knowledge. We determined differential white cell counts in peripheral blood of 189 adults who had come into contact with patients diagnosed with active TB in London, United Kingdom, and evaluated them for...
متن کاملOncogene interference through targeting of chromatin regulators
The chromatin regulatory machinery is often exploited during tumorigenesis. For example, many of the central transcription factors in cancer biology (such as p53 and Myc) utilize chromatin regulators (CRs) as coactivators or corepressors to regulate their downstream target genes. Moreover, somatic mutation of CR-encoding genes is a common driver mechanism seen in many cancer types. Hence, CRs o...
متن کاملModeling oncogene addiction using RNA interference.
The clinical efficacy of selective kinase inhibitors suggests that some cancer cells may become dependent on a single oncogene for survival. RNAi has been increasingly used to understand such "oncogene addiction" and validate new therapeutic targets. However, RNAi approaches suffer from significant off-target effects that limit their utility. Here, we combine carefully titrated lentiviral-media...
متن کاملImmune Modulation From Five Major Mushrooms: Application to Integrative Oncology.
This review discusses the immunological roles of 5 major mushrooms in oncology: Agaricus blazei, Cordyceps sinensis, Grifola frondosa, Ganoderma lucidum, and Trametes versicolor. These mushrooms were selected based on the body of research performed on mushroom immunology in an oncology model. First, this article focuses on how mushrooms modify cytokines within specific cancer models and on how ...
متن کاملCholinergic Receptor Sensitivity Following Pharmacological Modulation of the Immune System
Objective. To study the effect of immunomodulators on learning and memory and on cholinergic receptor sensitivity. Methods. Animals were initially treated for a period of 8 days with cyclosporine/levamisole/saline. They were then subjected to passive avoidance training and 48 hrs later, the retention test for the passive avoidance task was conducted. Twenty-four hours after the retention tests ...
