Inflammatory Response01:28

Inflammatory Response

19.2K
An inflammatory response is a localized, nonspecific immune reaction that occurs when a tissue is injured. It is characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain, which are commonly called the cardinal signs and symptoms of inflammation. Inflammation can sometimes result in a loss of function.
Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...

Regulation of the Unfolded Protein Response01:31

Regulation of the Unfolded Protein Response

3.2K
Inositol-requiring kinase one or IRE1 is the most conserved eukaryotic unfolded protein response (UPR) receptor. It is a type I transmembrane protein kinase receptor with a distinctive site-specific RNase activity. As the binding mechanics of the misfolded proteins with the N-terminal domain of IRE-1 are unclear, three binding models — direct, indirect, and allosteric -- are proposed for receptor activation. Nevertheless, it is known that once a misfolded protein associates with IRE1, it...

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway02:26

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway

10.4K
The transcription factor NF-κB was discovered in 1986 in the lab of Nobel laureate Professor David Baltimore, for its interaction with the immunoglobulin light chain enhancer in B-cells. After more than three decades of study, it is now evident that NF-κB regulates the expression of over 100 genes. Most of these genes play an essential role in the innate and adaptive immune responses as well as the inflammatory responses of animals.

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Biologic Agents: Anti-TNF

764
Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), a proinflammatory cytokine, contributes significantly to the inflammation seen in Crohn's disease. It exists as soluble TNF and membrane-bound TNF, with actions mediated through TNF receptors (TNFR). TNFR activation leads to the release of proinflammatory cytokines, T-cell activation, collagen production, and leukocyte migration, all contributing to inflammation in Crohn's disease. Anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies, namely infliximab (Remicade), adalimumab...

T Cell Types and Functions

3.3K
When T cells with CD4 markers are activated, they give rise to two types of effector cells: helper T cells and regulatory T cells. Meanwhile, T cells with CD8 markers differentiate into effector cytotoxic T cells. The differentiation of CD4 T cells into helper T cell subsets, such as Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, is dependent on the antigen type, antigen-presenting cell, and regulatory cytokines.
Th1 cells stimulate dendritic cells to express necessary co-stimulatory molecules on their surfaces for...

Summary

Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) deficiency reduces neutrophil accumulation in acute inflammation models. This suggests IRF5 blockade could treat acute inflammatory conditions like lung injury.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Inflammation Research

Background:

  • Neutrophils, like macrophages, exhibit phenotypic diversity crucial for immune responses.
  • The transcription factor Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) is known to influence macrophage polarization.
  • IRF5 is also present in neutrophils, hinting at a role in their function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of IRF5 in acute inflammatory conditions.
  • To determine if IRF5 influences neutrophil recruitment and function in models of acute inflammation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized mouse models of antigen-induced inflammatory arthritis and lung injury.
  • Assessed neutrophil infiltration and chemokine levels (e.g., CXCL1) in wild-type and IRF5-deficient mice.
  • Examined IRF5 expression and neutrophil migratory properties in joint tissues.

Main Results:

  • Mice lacking IRF5 showed significantly reduced neutrophil accumulation at inflammatory sites.
  • IRF5 deficiency led to lower levels of neutrophil-recruiting chemokines, including CXCL1.
  • Neutrophils from joints expressed minimal IRF5, and IRF5 deficiency did not impair their migration.

Conclusions:

  • IRF5 plays a critical role in neutrophil recruitment during acute inflammation.
  • IRF5 blockade may be a viable therapeutic strategy for acute inflammatory diseases, complementing its use in chronic conditions.
  • Targeting IRF5 could offer a dual approach for managing both acute and chronic inflammatory disorders.
