Despite significant advances in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), most patients succumb to disease progression. One major immunosuppressive mechanisms that is believed play a role progression expansion regulatory T cells (Tregs). In this study, we demonstrate drive Treg and activation by secreting type 1 interferon (IFN). Blocking IFN α β receptor (IFNAR1) on Tregs significantly decreases both myeloma-associated function Using syngeneic transplantable murine models bone marrow (BM)...
Significance The potential of proteasome inhibitors to prevent transplant rejection and treat other immune disorders is hindered by mechanism-based toxicity from inhibition constitutive proteasomes. Here, we demonstrate that briefly, reversibly, selectively inhibiting the immunoproteasome prolonged survival transplanted hearts in mice allowed long-term when combined with single-dose CTLA4-Ig. Immunoproteasome noncytotoxically reduced T-cell proliferation numbers effector T cells allograft...
Tregs hold great promise as a cellular therapy for multiple immunologically mediated diseases, given their ability to control immune responses. The success of such strategies depends on the expansion healthy, suppressive ex vivo and in following transfer. In clinical studies, levels transferred decline sharply blood within few days have high rate apoptosis. Here, we describe new mechanism Treg self-inflicted damage. We show that granzymes A -B (GrA GrB), which are highly upregulated human...
Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy that associated with substantial morbidity and mortality for the mother fetus. Reduced nitric oxide bioavailability oxidative stress contribute to maternal fetal pathophysiology PE. In this study, we evaluated efficacy novel dual-function donor/redox modulator, AKT-1005, in reducing PE symptoms mouse model Method: The potential therapeutic effect AKT-1005 was tested an animal Ad.sFlt-1-induced hypertension, proteinuria...
