Site-Specific PEGylation of Interleukin-2 Enhances Immunosuppression via the Sustained Activation of Regulatory T Cells

The authors showed that the pharmacokinetics and half-life of IL-2 could be substantially improved by orthogonally conjugating the cytokine to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) moieties via a copper-free click reaction through the incorporation of azide-bearing amino acids at defined sites.

Norcantharidin Ameliorates the Development of Murine Lupus via Inhibiting the Generation of IL-17 Producing Cells

Researchers investigated whether norcantharidin (NCTD) exerted therapeutic effects in a mouse systemic lupus erythematosu model. Lupus prone female MRL/lpr mice were treated with NCTD for eight weeks.

SLC15A4 Mediates M1-Prone Metabolic Shifts in Macrophages and Guards Immune Cells from Metabolic Stress

Researchers investigated the mechanism of how SLC15A4 directed inflammatory responses. Proximity-dependent biotin identification revealed glycolysis as highly enriched gene ontology terms.

Overexpression of Cathepsin S Exacerbates Lupus Pathogenesis through Upregulation TLR7 and IFN-α in Transgenic Mice

To investigate the mechanism of cysteine protease cathepsin S (CTSS) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), CTSS-overexpressing transgenic mice were generated, and induced lupus-like symptoms.

FcγR Engagement Reprograms Neutrophils into Antigen Cross-Presenting Cells That Elicit Acquired Anti-tumor Immunity

Researchers showed that FcγR-mediated endocytosis of antibody-antigen complexes or an anti-FcγRIIIB-antigen conjugate converted neutrophils into neutrophil-derived cells with properties of dendritic cells (DCs) that activate T cells to levels observed with classical DCs.

New NIH Research Initiative Supported by LFA Focuses on the Causes of Inflammation and Clinical Disease

The Lupus Foundation of America has renewed its support for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Accelerating Medicines Partnership (AMP) which recently announced a new initiative to discover the causes of inflammation and clinical disease. The new AMP Autoimmune and Immune-Mediated Diseases (AMP AIM) Program will use novel analytics to examine the interaction among innate and adaptive immune cells and tissue-resident cells.
