The Immunomodulatory Metabolite Itaconate Regulates NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Type I Interferon Signalling
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Biochemistry & Immunology. Discipline of Biochemistry, 2021)The NLRP3 inflammasome is a multi-protein complex which activates caspase-1 for the cleavage and release of mature IL-1β and IL-18. Caspase-1 also cleaves gasdermin D, driving a process called pyroptosis. Results from ... -
Macrophage fumarate hydratase restrains mtRNA-mediated interferon production.
(Springer Nature, 2023-03-08)Metabolic rewiring underlies the effector functions of macrophages, but the mechanisms involved remain incompletely defined. Here, using unbiased metabolomics and stable isotope-assisted tracing, we show that an inflammatory ... -
Natural Killer cells integrate signals received from tumour interactions and IL2 to induce robust and prolonged anti-tumour and metabolic responses
(2019)Natural Killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes with an important role in anti-tumour responses. NK cells bridge the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system; they are primed for immediate anti-tumour function but can also ... -
The role of Ets2 transcription factor in the induction of microRNA-155 by LPS, and its targeting by IL-10.
(2014)MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) is highly expressed in many cancers such as B cell lymphomas and myeloid leukaemia, and inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, atopic dermatitis and multiple sclerosis. The role ... -
Single cell analysis of iNKT cell heterogeneity, phenotype, and function
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Biochemistry & Immunology. Discipline of Biochemistry, 2022)Innate T cells, including CD1d-restricted invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells, are characterized by their rapid activation in response to non-peptide antigens, such as lipids. While the transcriptional profiles of ...
