Prevalence of asthma is higher in women than men, but the mechanisms underlying this sex bias are unknown. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) key regulators type inflammatory responses. Here, we show that ILC2 development greatly influenced by male hormones. Male mice have reduced numbers progenitors (ILC2Ps) and mature ILC2s peripheral tissues compared with females. In consequence, males exhibit susceptibility to allergic airway inflammation response environmental allergens less severe...

Increased IFN-α production contributes to the pathogenesis of infectious and autoimmune diseases. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) from females produce more upon TLR7 stimulation than pDCs males, yet mechanisms underlying this difference remain unclear. In article, we show that basal levels IFN regulatory factor (IRF) 5 in were significantly higher compared with males positively correlated percentage IFN-α-secreting pDCs. Delivery recombinant IRF5 protein into human primary increased...

Males and females exhibit profound differences in immune responses disease susceptibility. However, the factors responsible for sex tissue immunity remain poorly understood. Here, we uncovered a dominant role type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) shaping sexual dimorphism within skin. Mechanistically, negative regulation of ILC2s by androgens leads to reduction dendritic cell accumulation activation males, along with reduced immunity. Collectively, our results reveal androgen-ILC2-dendritic...

Dendritic cells (DCs) play a pivotal role in controlling the balance between tolerance and immunity intestine. Gut conditioned CD103(+) DCs promote regulatory T (Treg) cell responses; however, little is known about that drive inflammation Here, we show monocyte-derived inflammatory express E-cadherin, receptor for CD103, intestinal inflammation. E-cadherin(+) accumulated inflamed mesenteric lymph nodes colon, had high expression of toll-like receptors, produced colitogenic cytokines, such as...

Estrogen treatment exerts a protective effect on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and is under clinical trial for multiple sclerosis therapy. Estrogens have been suspected to protect from CNS autoimmunity through their capacity exert anti-inflammatory as well neuroprotective effects. Despite the obvious impacts of estrogens pathophysiology EAE, dominant cellular target that orchestrates 17β-estradiol (E2) in EAE still ill defined. Using conditional estrogen receptor (ER)...

Intestinal CD103(+) DC promote the differentiation of Foxp3(+) Treg from naïve CD4(+) T cells through mechanisms involving TGF-beta and dietary metabolite, retinoic acid (RA). In this study, we have analysed whether specialised features are conserved in colitis. Our results show that inflammation dampens tolerogenic properties MLN DC, which is associated with lower expression tgfbeta2 aldh1a2. Accordingly, taken colitic mice impaired their ability to induce instead favour emergence...

Abstract Human plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) play a major role in innate immunity through the production of type I IFNs after TLR engagement by pathogens. Sex-based differences function human pDCs have been established, with from women exhibiting enhanced TLR7-mediated IFN-α as compared males. In mice, we recently provided evidence for estrogens positive regulator pDC functions cell-intrinsic estrogen receptor α signaling, but did not exclude other X-linked factors, particularly pDCs....

Biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma (BSNS) is a locally aggressive tumor occurring in the region. It harbors both myogenic and neural differentiation characterized by PAX3 rearrangement with MAML3 as most frequent fusion partner, but partner of remains unidentified subset cases. About 70 cases have been reported so far. In this study, we report series 41 clinical, pathologic, molecular description. Twenty-five (61%) patients were female individuals, median age was 49 years.

Abstract Dendritic cells (DC) are critical actors in the initiation of primary immune responses and regulation self-tolerance. The steroid sex hormone 17β-estradiol (E2) has been shown to promote differentiation DCs from bone marrow (BM) precursors vitro. However, estrogen receptor (ER) involved this effect not yet characterized. Using recently generated ERα- or ERβ-deficient mice, we investigated role ER isotypes DC acquisition effector functions. We report that estrogen-dependent...

Abstract 17β-Estradiol (E2) has been shown to regulate GM-CSF– or Flt3 ligand–driven dendritic cell (DC) development through estrogen receptor (ER) α signaling in myeloid progenitors. ERα regulates transcription of target genes two distinct activation functions (AFs), AF-1 and AF-2, whose respective involvement varies a type– tissue-specific manner. In this study, we investigated the role AFs effector inflammatory DCs, steady-state conventional plasmacytoid DCs (pDC), using mouse lacking...
