CELL DEVELOPMENT, DIFFERENTIATION, AND TRAFFICKING

Open Access
Arhgef6 (alpha‐PIX) cytoskeletal regulator signals to GTPases and Cofilin to couple T cell migration speed and persistence
Dejan Mamula, Mark Korthals, Johannes Hradsky, Anna Gottfried, Klaus-Dieter Fischer, Kerry Tedford

Pages: 839-852 | First Published: 02 February 2021


Graphical Abstract

Arhgef6 (alpha-PIX) inhibits signaling to GTPases and Cofilin to restrain lamellipodia formation, cell turning, and cell migration speed.

Expression of inducible NOS is indispensable for the antiproliferative and proapoptotic effect of imatinib in BCR–ABL positive cells
Abhishek Kumar Singh, Deepika Awasthi, Megha Dubey, Sheela Nagarkoti, Tulika Chandra, Manoj Kumar Barthwal, Anil Kumar Tripathi, Madhu Dikshit

Pages: 853-866 | First Published: 02 February 2021


Graphical Abstract

Expression of iNOS positively regulates imatinib response in BCR-ABL+ cells and monitoring its level could help to identify patients likely to be responsive or resistant to imatinib.

RECEPTORS, SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION, AND GENES

Open Access
Role of endocytosis and trans‐endocytosis in ICOS costimulator‐induced downmodulation of the ICOS Ligand
Laura Aragoneses-Fenoll, María Montes-Casado, Gloria Ojeda, Lucía García-Paredes, Yutaka Arimura, Junji Yagi, Umberto Dianzani, Pilar Portolés, José M. Rojo

Pages: 867-884 | First Published: 02 February 2021


Graphical Abstract

ICOS-induced downmodulation of ICOS-L involving endocytosis and trans-endocytosis controls ICOS-L levels and can regulate immune responses that are dependent on ICOS costimulation

INFLAMMATION, EXTRACELLULAR MEDIATORS, AND EFFECTOR MOLECULES

Insulin acutely activates metabolism of primary human monocytes and promotes a proinflammatory phenotype
Jacqueline M. Ratter, Julia I. P. van Heck, Hanne M. M. Rooijackers, Henry J. Jansen, Pleun C. M. van Poppel, Cees J. Tack, Rinke Stienstra

Pages: 885-891 | First Published: 21 January 2021


Graphical Abstract

Insulin activates the metabolism of primary human monocytes and induces a pro-inflammatory phenotype, including increased pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion and ROS production and migration.

Open Access
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor inhibits neutrophil apoptosis by inducing cytokine release from mononuclear cells
Lisa Schindler, Leon Zwissler, Christine Krammer, Ulrike Hendgen-Cotta, Tienush Rassaf, Mark B. Hampton, Nina Dickerhof, Jürgen Bernhagen

Pages: 893-905 | First Published: 10 February 2021


Graphical Abstract

MIF and MIF-2 prolong neutrophil survival only in the presence of mononuclear cells and/or CXCL8 via a predominantly CXCR2-dependent mechanism.

Open Access

Dennis M. de Graaf, Lisa U. Teufel, Frank L. van de Veerdonk, Leo A. B. Joosten, Mihai G. Netea, Charles A. Dinarello, Rob J. W. Arts

Pages: 907-915 | First Published: 23 February 2021


Graphical Abstract

IL-38 inhibits the induction of innate immune memory

Pages: 917-925 | First Published: 08 March 2021


Graphical Abstract

Neutrophils (PMN) regulate inflammation in many ways, including communication with other immune cells via extracellular vesicles (EVs).

Kelong Ma, Mengli Chen, Juanjuan Liu, Yuzhu Ge, Tianming Wang, Daqiang Wu, Guiming Yan, Changzhong Wang, Jing Shao

Pages: 927-937 | First Published: 08 March 2021


Graphical Abstract

Sodium houttuyfonate primes intestinal macrophage by inducing β-glucan exposure and attenuating Candida albicans-associated colitis through Dectin-1/TLR2/TLR4 interactions.

TRANSLATIONAL AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY

Myeloid‐derived suppressor cells and their association with vaccine immunogenicity in South African infants
