Characterizing caspase-1 involvement during esophageal disease progression.
(2020)Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is an inflammatory condition and a neoplastic precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Inflammasome signaling, which contributes to acute and chronic inflammation, results in caspase-1 activation ... -
Spiroindoline-Capped Selective HDAC6 Inhibitors: Design, Synthesis, Structural Analysis, and Biological Evaluation
(2020)Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have emerged as promising therapeutics for the treatment of neurodegeneration, cancer, and rare disorders. Herein, we report the development of a series of spiroindoline-based HDAC6 ... -
Pharmacological Activation of Pyruvate Kinase M2 Inhibits CD4+ T Cell Pathogenicity and Suppresses Autoimmunity
(2020)A multitude of diverse microorganisms, termed the microbiota, reside in the gut, respi-ratory tract, skin, and genital tract of humans and other animals. Recent advances inmetagenomic sequencing and bioinformatics have ... -
Caspase-11 promotes allergic airway inflammation
(2020)Activated caspase-1 and caspase-11 induce inflammatory cell death in a process termed pyroptosis. Here we show that Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) inhibits caspase-11-dependent pyroptosis in murine and human macrophages. PGE2 ... -
Nano-particle mediated M2 macrophage polarization enhances bone formation and MSC osteogenesis in an IL-10 dependent manner
(2020)Engineering a pro-regenerative immune response following scaffold implantation is integral to functional tissue regeneration. The immune response to implanted biomaterials is determined by multiple factors, including ...
