TIPE2 modulates macrophage polarization via targeting Rac1/NF-kB and PI3K/AKT pathways

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that affects up to 12% of the general population. It is associated with significant morbidity and a considerable burden on the healthcare system. Tumor necrosis factor -induced protein 8-like 2 (TIPE2) is an immune-related protein...

Enterovirus 71 drives TLR2–NF-κB–dependent inflammatory skeletal muscle injury in neonatal BALB/c mice

ABSTRACT Enterovirus 71 (EV-A71) can cause inflammatory injury beyond the central nervous system, yet the host pathways driving EV-A71-associated skeletal muscle pathology remain poorly defined. Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) is a key innate immune sensor capable of amplifying inflammatory signaling during infection. Here...

Pneumococcal hydrogen peroxide production is associated with epithelial and pulmonary immune responses during pneumonia

Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) produces substantial amounts of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), a metabolic byproduct with cytotoxic and immunomodulatory effects. Although pneumococcal H₂O₂ has been implicated in pathogenesis, its contribution to pulmonary immune responses and epithelial transcriptional responses dur...

MCP-1/CCL2 in Fungal Infections: Balancing Immune Recruitment and Immunopathology

Fungal infections cause substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly in immunocompromised individuals, yet the immune mechanisms that distinguish protective inflammation from tissue-damaging responses remain incompletely understood. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, also known as C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (MC...
