NOX2-Deficient Pulmonary Neutrophils and Macrophages Have Lower PD-L1 Expression and May Aggravate Allergic Lung Inflammation through Affecting ILC Populations

PD-L1, Inflammation and Glioblastoma

The PD-L1 protein has an extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain and an intracellular domain. The extracellular domain (ECD) of the PD-L1 protein is comprised of IgC–like and IgV-like domains [2]. The ECD of PD-L1 interacts with the programmed death 1 (PD-1, also known as PDCD1) and B7.1 receptors. Blocking of the PD-L1 molecule with antibodies blocks cancer cells from killing cytotoxic T ...

Over-Expression of Immunosuppressive Molecules, PD-L1 and PD-L2, in Ulcerative Colitis Patients

Allergic lung inflammation induces pulmonary vascular hyperresponsiveness.

Pulmonary arterial vasoconstriction is an important early component of pulmonary hypertension. Inflammatory mechanisms play a prominent role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension. The present authors investigated the potential role of acute allergic lung inflammation for alterations in pulmonary haemodynamics. BALB/c mice were intraperitoneally sensitised to ovalbumin and challenged by ...

IFN-γ-Stimulated Neutrophils Suppress Lymphocyte Proliferation through Expression of PD-L1

During systemic inflammation different neutrophil subsets are mobilized to the peripheral blood. These neutrophil subsets can be distinguished from normal circulating neutrophils (CD16(bright)/CD62L(bright)), based on either an immature CD16(dim)/CD62L(bright) or a CD16(bright)/CD62L(dim) phenotype. Interestingly, the latter neutrophil subset is known to suppress lymphocyte proliferation ex viv...

IFN-c-Stimulated Neutrophils Suppress Lymphocyte Proliferation through Expression of PD-L1

During systemic inflammation different neutrophil subsets are mobilized to the peripheral blood. These neutrophil subsets can be distinguished from normal circulating neutrophils (CD16/CD62L), based on either an immature CD16/ CD62L or a CD16/CD62L phenotype. Interestingly, the latter neutrophil subset is known to suppress lymphocyte proliferation ex vivo, but how neutrophils become suppressive...
