CCR2 signaling regulates anti-chlamydia T cell immune responses in the airway. by Shuaini Yang, Jinxi Yu, Xue Dong, Jiajia Zeng, Lu Tan, Hong Zhang, Ruoyuan Sun, Yuqing Tuo, Jing Yang, Chunxiao Wan, Hong Bai

“…CCR2, a member of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily, is widely expressed on monocytes, macrophages, activated T cells, and other cell types, and plays a critical role in coordinating the immune response to various infections. Here we demonstrate that CCR2 expression is significantly elevated during Chlamydia muridarum (C. muridarum) respiratory infection, and its absence leads to exacerbated susceptibility, as evidenced by significant weight loss, higher bacterial loads, severe lung pathology, and elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines (il-1β, tnfα, and il-6). …”

An adenoviral vector encoding an inflammation-inducible antagonist, HMGB1 Box A, as a novel therapeutic approach to inflammatory diseases by Kari Ann Shirey, John Joseph, Lynda Coughlan, Haye Nijhuis, Alan W. Varley, Jorge C. G. Blanco, Stefanie N. Vogel

“…To test this hypothesis, we developed AdV.C3-Tat/HIV-Box A, an inflammation-inducible cassette that remains innocuous in the absence of inflammation but releases HMGB1 Box A, an antagonist of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), in response to inflammatory stimuli such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or influenza virus infection. We report here that this novel inflammation-inducible HMGB1 Box A construct in a non-replicative adenovirus (AdV) vector mitigates lung and systemic inflammation therapeutically in response to influenza infection. …”

Trends in the incidence of the Epstein-Barr virus-associated malignancies extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Taiwan. by Shyh-An Yeh, Liang-Chun Chiu, Hsin-Chieh Lin, Hung-Ju Li, Sheng-Fung Lin, Yu-Chieh Su

“…Based on these findings, the downward trend in the incidence of NPC/ENKTL could be affected by the decline in early EBV infection rates. Considering that the EBV seroprevalence remained stable but the incidence rate of early EBV infection decreased during the same period, delayed EBV infection or factors other than EBV might play an important role in the downward trend in the incidence of NPC/ENKTL in Taiwan. …”
