LRH-1 mediates anti-inflammatory and antifungal phenotype of IL-13-activated macrophages through the PPAR gamma ligand synthesis

Matthias Alexander Sokrates Stein, Kristina Schoonjans

Liver receptor homologue-1 (LRH-1) is a nuclear receptor involved in the repression of inflammatory processes in the hepatointestinal tract. Here we report that LRH-1 is expressed in macrophages and induced by the Th2 cytokine IL-13 via a mechanism involvi ...

The In-Vivo Use of Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles to Detect Inflammation Elicits a Cytokine Response but Does Not Aggravate Experimental Arthritis

Heinrich Hofmann, Lionel André Maurizi

Background Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPION) are used in diagnostic imaging of a variety of different diseases. For such in-vivo application, an additional coating with a polymer, for example polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), is needed to stabilize ...

Inflammatory and metabolic responses to high-fat meals with and without dairy products in men

Martinus Gijs, Guy Vergères

Postprandial inflammation is an important factor for human health since chronic low-grade inflammation is associated with chronic diseases. Dairy products have a weak but significant anti-inflammatory effect on postprandial inflammation. The objective of t ...

SIRT2 Deficiency Modulates Macrophage Polarization and Susceptibility to Experimental Colitis

Kristina Schoonjans, Johan Auwerx, Hiroyasu Yamamoto, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis, Giuseppe Lo Sasso, Alessandra Piersigilli, Keir Joe Menzies, Alessia Perino

Background: SIRT2 belongs to a highly conserved family of NAD(+)-dependent deacylases, consisting of seven members (SIRT1-SIRT7), which vary in subcellular localizations and have substrates ranging from histones to transcription factors and enzymes. Recent ...

Characterization of Molecular Determinants of the Conformational Stability of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor: Leucine 46 Hydrophobic Pocket

Ursula Röthlisberger, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Hilal Lashuel, Hajer Ouertatani-Sakouhi, Michele Cascella, Farah El Turk, Marilisa Neri, Florence Pojer, Amer Ashrafi, Min Kyu Cho, Magdalena Zweckstetter

Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) is a key mediator of inflammatory responses and innate immunity and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The oligomerization of MIF, more specifically trimer f ...

Identification and functional response of interstitial Cajal-like cells from rat mesenteric artery

Jean-Jacques Meister, Jean-Louis Bény, Aurélie Formey de Saint Louvent, Lara Buscemi Estefanell

Cells with irregular shapes, numerous long thin filaments, and morphological similarities to the gastrointestinal interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) have been observed in the wall of some blood vessels. These ICC-like cells (ICC-LCs) do not correspond to t ...

HVEM Signalling Promotes Colitis

Nicola Harris, Stefanie Hiltbrunner

Tumor necrosis factor super family (TNFSF) members regulate important processes involved in cell proliferation, survival and differentiation and are therefore crucial for the balance between homeostasis and inflammatory responses. Several members of the TN ...

Identification and Functional Response of "Interstitial Cells of Cajal"-like Cells from Rat Mesenteric Artery

Aurélie Formey de Saint Louvent

This thesis is a contribution to the field of interstitial cells of Cajal-like cells (ICC-LCs) in the vasculature. Indeed, cells with irregular shapes and numerous long thin filaments, morphologically similar to the gastrointestinal ICCs, have been observe ...

In vitro lymphatic endothelial morphogenesis : molecular vs. biophysical regulation

Carolyn Yong Pullin

Cell organization into functional multicellular three-dimensional structures is a long-standing challenge. In particular, engineering of vascularized tissues requires both blood and lymphatic neovascular network formation in a simultaneous and coordinated ...
