Intrinsic Photosensitivity Enhances Motility of T Lymphocytes
Sunlight has important biological effects in human skin. Ultraviolet (UV) light striking the epidermis catalyzes the synthesis of Vitamin D and triggers melanin production. Although a causative element in skin cancers, sunlight is also associated with positive health outcomes including reduced incidences of autoimmune diseases and cancers. The mechanisms, however, by which light affects immune ...
متن کاملIrradiated β-glucan enhances immune response to bacterial infection through CD4 and CD8 T-lymphocytes
Background: &beta-glucans are glucose polymers with a variety of stimulatory effects on the immune system. The objective of this study was to evaluate the immune-enhancing activities of low molecular weight gamma irradiated &beta-glucan (I&beta-g) extracted from Pleurotus ostreatus in response to Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in rats. Materials and Methods: &beta-glucan (&beta-g) powder was ...
متن کاملFucosylation enhances activity of cytotoxic T lymphocytes against breast cancer
Introduction Fucosylation is a process by which fucose sugar groups are added to cell surface receptors. This process is mediated by fucosyl transferases that attach terminal fucose groups to acceptor molecules on the cell surface. Fucosylation of cord blood stem cells and human regulatory T cells (Treg) were shown to enhance cord blood engraftment and Treg homing to inflamed tissues. Since tum...
متن کاملSupplemental Information: Intrinsic photosensitivity of a deep brain photoreceptor
Supplemental Data Figure S1. Intrinsic photosensitivity of CSF-contacting neurons in the PVO. Apparent light response observed in normal ACSF (black trace) persisted during the bath application of 1 µM TTX (red trace). Although action potentials were blocked, light-induced depolarization was unaffected by bath application of TTX. hv: light stimulus.
متن کاملMelanopsin-containing retinal ganglion cells: architecture, projections, and intrinsic photosensitivity.
The primary circadian pacemaker, in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the mammalian brain, is photoentrained by light signals from the eyes through the retinohypothalamic tract. Retinal rod and cone cells are not required for photoentrainment. Recent evidence suggests that the entraining photoreceptors are retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) that project to the SCN. The visual pigment for this pho...
