The PD-1 with PD-L1 Axis Is Pertinent with the Immune Modulation of Atrial Fibrillation by Regulating T Cell Excitation and Promoting the Secretion of Inflammatory Factors by Guodong Chang, Yingwei Chen, Zichang Liu, Yong Wang, Wenkun Ge, Yongan Kang, Shuling Guo

“…Forty-five patients with atrial fibrillation admitted to the cardiology department of our hospital from July 2019 to March 2021 were selected to be included in the atrial fibrillation group, and another 45 healthy volunteers were selected as the control group to compare the changes of T cell CD69 and human leukocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR) expression in the peripheral blood of the two study groups; compare the changes of programmed death factor-1 on CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of the two groups (PD-1) expression changes and PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression changes on peripheral blood myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) cells; compare the changes of interleukin-2, interleukin-6, interleukin-10, and interleukin-17A (IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-17), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and interferon gamma (IFN-γ) concentrations on peripheral blood inflammatory factors in the two groups; and isolate the two groups of peripheral blood mDCs cells; α interferon upregulated PD-L1 expression in the cells and analyzed the effect of PD-L1 expression on the ability of mDCs to stimulate T cells to secrete cytokines.Results. …”

IRF3 Promotes Production of IL-6 and Nitric Oxide but Represses CCL22 in RAW264.7 Macrophage Cells Exposed to Lipopolysaccharides in Culture by Moore TC, Pinkerton TS, Petro TM

“…However, anti-inflammatory macrophages counter inflammation with the production of CCL22. Interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) plays a significant role in expression of both IL-6 and NO during macrophage responses through Interferon-stimulated Response Elements (ISREs) of promoters.Methods: To determine the role of IRF3 in LPS-induced pro- and anti-inflammatory macrophage responses, we used the macrophage cell line RAW264.7 modified with an ISRE promoter driving secreted luciferase (RAW264.7-Lucia) to assess IRF3 activity in response to Escherichia coli and Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS. …”
