Galectin-8 Ameliorates Murine Autoimmune Ocular Pathology and Promotes a Regulatory T Cell Response
Galectins have emerged as potent immunoregulatory agents that control chronic inflammation through distinct mechanisms. Here, we report that treatment with Galectin-8 (Gal-8), a tandem-repeat member of the galectin family, reduces retinal pathology and prevents photoreceptor cell damage in a murine model of experimental autoimmune uveitis. Gal-8 treatment increased the number of regulatory T ce...
متن کاملMesenchymal stem cell-mediated T cell suppression occurs through secreted galectins.
Human galectins are involved in a variety of biological and pathological processes including cell adhesion, apoptosis, differentiation, immune regulation and tumour evasion. Previously, we identified galectin-3 as the first human lectin involved in the modulation of the immunosuppressive potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In this study, we report on the expression profiles and potentia...
متن کاملImmunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties of triptolide: A mini review
Objective: Triptolide, the active component of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F has been used to treat autoimmune and inflammatory conditions for over two hundred years in traditional Chinese medicine. However, the processes through which triptolide exerts immunosuppression and anti-inflammation are not understood well. In this review, we discuss the autoimmune disorders and inflammatory condition...
متن کاملInhibition of Immune System by an Immunosuppressive Factor from a Human Prostatic Carcinoma Cell Line (JCA-1)
Prostatic carcinoma is the most commonly diagnosed tumor among men over 40 which results in over 30,000 deaths each year in the United States. Previous studies indicated that tumor cell lines produce and release several growth regulatory factors into their condition media and so far a number of human tumor cell-derived suppressor factors have been isolated that affect normal immune functions. I...
متن کاملIsolation and Characterization of Novel Phage Displayed scFv Fragment for Human Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha and Molecular Docking Analysis of Their Interactions
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) expression amplifies to excess amounts in several disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. Although, Anti-TNF biologics have revolutionized the treatment of these autoimmune diseases, formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) has dramatically affected their use. The next generation antibodies (e.g. Fab, scFv) have not only reduced resulted immunoge...
