Aberrant elevation in the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) contributes to neuroinflammatory diseases. Blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction is a hallmark phenotype neuroinflammation. It known that IL-1β directly induces BBB hyperpermeability but mechanisms remain unclear. Claudin-5 (Cldn5) tight junction protein found at endothelial cell-cell contacts are crucial for maintaining brain microvascular cell (BMVEC) integrity. Transcriptional regulation Cldn5 has been...

Nonspecific orbital inflammation (NSOI), colloquially known as pseudotumor, sometimes presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge in ophthalmology. This review aims to dissect NSOI through molecular lens, offering comprehensive overview of its pathogenesis, clinical presentation, methods, management strategies. The article delves into the underpinnings NSOI, examining immunological environmental factors alongside intricate mechanisms involving signaling pathways, cytokines, mediators....

The recombination-activating genes (RAG) 1 and 2 are indispensable for diversifying the primary B cell receptor repertoire pruning self-reactive clones via editing in bone marrow; however, impact of RAG1/RAG2 on peripheral tolerance is unknown. Partial RAG deficiency (pRD) manifesting with late-onset immune dysregulation represents an 'experiment nature' to explore this conundrum. By studying development subset-specific repertoires pRD, we demonstrate that reduced activity impinges through...

Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) is a debilitating autoimmune condition characterized by significant inflammation of orbital tissues, including the extraocular muscles and adipose tissues. The pathological mechanisms underlying this involve complex interplay stress responses at cellular molecular level. This review aims to critically evaluate synthesize existing literature on in TED. We discuss role autoantibodies, cytokines, reactive oxygen species (ROS) initiation propagation inflammatory...
