Abstract Pattern recognition underpins innate immunity; the accurate identification of danger, including infection, injury, or tumor, is key to an appropriately targeted immune response. Pathogen detection increasingly well defined mechanistically, but discrimination endogenous inflammatory triggers remains unclear. Tenascin-C, a matrix protein induced upon tissue damage and expressed by tumors, activates toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-mediated sterile inflammation. Here we map three sites...
The interplay between cancer cells and immune is a key determinant of tumor survival. Here, we uncovered how tumors exploit the immunomodulatory properties extracellular matrix to create microenvironment that enables their escape from surveillance. Using orthotopic grafting mammary in immunocompetent mice autochthonous models breast cancer, discovered tenascin-C, molecule absent most healthy adult tissues but expressed at high levels associated with poor patient prognosis many solid cancers,...
Objective In addition to the long‐established link with smoking, periodontitis ( PD ) is a risk factor for rheumatoid arthritis RA ). This study was undertaken elucidate mechanism by which could induce antibodies citrullinated peptides ACPA s), examining antibody response novel peptide of cytokeratin 13 CK ‐13) identified in gingival crevicular fluid GCF ), and comparing 4 other patients who were well‐characterized smoking. Methods The citrullinomes periodontal tissue from mapped mass...
The pentraxin serum amyloid P component (SAP) is secreted by the liver and found in plasma at a concentration of approximately 30 mg/L. SAP 25 kDa homopentamer known to bind both protein nonprotein ligands, all calcium-dependent manner. function unclear but likely involves humoral innate immune system spanning complement system, inflammation, coagulation. Also, generic structure deposits possibly protect them against proteolysis. In this study, we have characterized interactome human...
