Abstract An excessive immune response contributes to SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis lethality, but the mechanism remains unclear. In this study, N proteins of were found bind MASP-2, key serine protease in lectin pathway complement activation, resulting aberrant activation aggravated inflammatory lung injury. Either blocking protein:MASP-2 interaction or suppressing can significantly alleviate protein-induced hyper-activation injury vitro vivo . Complement was also observed...

Abstract Excessive inflammatory responses contribute to the pathogenesis and lethality of highly pathogenic human coronaviruses, but underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, N proteins including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), middle east (MERS-CoV) 2 (SARS-CoV-2), were found bind MASP-2, a key serine protease in lectin pathway complement activation, resulting excessive activation by potentiating MBL-dependent MASP-2 deposition C4b, activated C3 C5b-9....

Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) process tumor vaccines and present antigens as the first signals to T activate anti-tumor immunity, which requires assistance of co-stimulatory second on APCs. The immune checkpoint programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) not only mediates escape but also acts a co-inhibitory signal serious dysfunction due high expression PD-L1 APCs in body results inefficiency vaccines. To overcome this challenge, previously established Plug-and-Display vaccine platform based...

The Abl family of mammalian non-receptor tyrosine kinases includes c-Abl and Arg. Recent studies have demonstrated that Arg are activated in the response cells to oxidative stress. This work demonstrates catalase, a major effector cellular defense against H2O2, interacts with results show H2O2 induced binding catalase. SH3 domains bound directly catalase at P293FNP site. phosphorylated Tyr231 Tyr386 vitro H2O2. functional significance interaction is supported by demonstration deficient both...

Abstract Recent studies suggest that cell therapy may be an effective way to repair intervertebral disc degeneration. As a strong immune suppressor, TGF-β1 has been shown inhibit inflammation respond effectively. The objective of this study was explore the effects during bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells-based for In vitro assays demonstrated co-culturing nucleus pulposus cells with resulted in significantly higher levels TGF-βl secretion. This increase inhibited IκB phosphorylation and...

The c-Abl and Arg tyrosine kinases are activated in the cellular response to oxidative stress. present studies demonstrate that associate with glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPx1) this interaction is regulated by intracellular oxidant levels. SH3 domains bind directly a proline-rich site GPx1 at amino acids 132–145. also functions as substrate for c-Abl- Arg-mediated phosphorylation on Tyr-96. results further show stimulate GPx activity these contribute GPx-mediated protection of cells against...
