The team led by Professor Bozec turned off the oxygen sensor HIF in B
cells and
observed that this prevented the resolution of inflammation, leading to chronic
inflammatory diseases.
In fact, when the researchers inhibited the secreted factor related to the activity of
inflammatory cells, they
observed a decrease in the proliferation of cancer
cells.
The authors
observed an
inflammatory response in two patients who had mutated versions of SKIV2L, suggesting that SKIV2L keeps inflammation in check in human
cells, too.
Researchers
observed that the immune
cells, called CD4 T -
cells, in the airways of severe asthmatics secreted different
inflammatory proteins than those in mild disease, particularly interferon gamma.
Perivascular and peribronchial
inflammatory infiltrates were
observed in most fields along with desquamation of the bronchial epithelium, collections of edema fluid, sloughed epithelial
cells,
inflammatory cells and cellular debris in the bronchial lumen.
Interestingly, RIPK2 has been demonstrated to be involved in the active growth of CD90 (+) intestinal stromal
cells to suggest an «
inflammatory» cross-talk between intestinal stromal
cells and the epithelial
cells (Owens et al., 2013), and we can
observe robust activation of RIPK2 in IBD colon tissue sections immunostained with our proprietary pY474 RIPK2 antibody (Salla et al., unpublished observations).
More specifically, epigenetic programming of
cells would allow them to show more pronounced
inflammatory responses when exposed to challenge (Miller et al., 2011a), an effect that has been
observed in primate models (Cole et al., 2012), as well as in humans (Irwin and Cole, 2011).
