Abstract

Cell metabolism drives T cell functions, while platelets regulate overall CD4+ T cell immune responses. To investigate if platelets influence cell metabolism and thus regulate CD4+ T effector memory cell (Tem) responses. Human CD4+ Tem cells were activated with αCD3/αCD28 and cultured without or with platelets or platelet-derived mediators. Polyclonal stimulation induced rapid and marked Th1 and Treg cell activation of CD4+ Tem cells. Platelet co-culture enhanced Th1 response transiently, while it persistently enhanced Treg cell activation of Tem cells, with an enhancement that plateaued by day 3. Platelet factor 4 (PF4) was the key platelet-derived mediator regulating CD4+ Tem cell responses, which involved cellular metabolisms as indicated by mass spectrometric analyses. PF4 exerted its effects via its receptor CXCR3, attenuated Akt activity, and reduced PGC1α phosphorylation, and resulted in elevations of PGC1α function and mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) synthesis. The latter increased mitochondrial biogenesis, and subsequently enhanced Th1 and Treg responses. Consistent with these observations, inhibition of mitochondrial function by rotenone counteracted the enhancements by recombinant PF4, and TFAM overexpres...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
