Regulation of Th1/Th2 cells in asthma development: A mathematical model by Yangjin Kim, Seongwon Lee, You-Sun Kim, Sean Lawler, Yong Song Gho, Yoon-Keun Kim, Hyung Ju Hwang

“…In the present workwe representthe complex network of interactions between cells and molecules by a mathematical model.The model describes the behaviors of cells (Th0, Th1, Th2 and macrophages)and regulatory molecules (IFN-$\gamma$, IL-4, IL-12, TNF-α) in response tohigh, intermediate, and low levels of LPS.The simulations show howvariations in the levels of injected LPSaffect the development ofTh1 or Th2 cell responses through differential cytokine induction.The model also predicts the coexistence ofthese two types of responseunder certain biochemical and biomechanical conditions in the microenvironment.…”

Downregulated Copper Homeostasis-Related Gene FOXO1 as a Novel Indicator for the Prognosis and Immune Response of Breast Cancer by Rong Zeng, Bi Peng, Emin Peng

“…Immunoinfiltration analysis indicated that aberrantly expressed FOXO1 showed positive correlations with the subcellular infiltration of macrophages and neutrophils in BRCA. Moreover, FOXO1 expression was positively associated with multiple immune checkpoints, such as sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin 15 (SIGLEC15), indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1/CD274), hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 2 (HAVCR2), programmed cell death 1 (PDCD1), cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4), and programmed cell death 1 ligand 2 (PDCD1LG2). …”
