Gut Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Immunity by Valeria Messina, Carla Buccione, Giulia Marotta, Giovanna Ziccheddu, Michele Signore, Gianfranco Mattia, Rossella Puglisi, Benedetto Sacchetti, Livia Biancone, Mauro Valtieri

“…The absence of Class II MHC is a hallmark for immune-modulator and tolerogenic properties of normal MSCs and, vice versa, the expression of HLA-DR is peculiar to antigen presenting cells, that is, immune-activator cells. Interferon gamma (IFNγ) is responsible for induction of Class II MHC expression on intestinal MSCs. …”

Autoimmune and Neoplastic Thyroid Diseases Associated with Hepatitis C Chronic Infection by Poupak Fallahi, Silvia Martina Ferrari, Ugo Politti, Dilia Giuggioli, Clodoveo Ferri, Alessandro Antonelli

“…HCV thyroid infection could act by upregulating CXCL10 gene expression and secretion in thyrocytes recruiting Th1 lymphocytes that secrete interferon-γ and tumor necrosis factor-α. These cytokines might induce a further CXCL10 secretion by thyrocytes, thus perpetuating the immune cascade, which may lead to the appearance of autoimmune thyroid disorders in genetically predisposed subjects. …”
