Journal ArticleDOI

IL-37 is a fundamental inhibitor of innate immunity.

TL;DR: IL-37 emerged as a natural suppressor of innate inflammatory and immune responses and protected from lipopolysaccharide-induced shock, and transgenic mice showed less cytokine suppression when endogenous Smad3 was depleted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Negative Immune Regulator Tim-3 Is Overexpressed on T Cells in Hepatitis C Virus Infection and Its Blockade Rescues Dysfunctional CD4+ and CD8+ T Cells

TL;DR: For the first time, it is found that Tim-3 expression is increased on CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and the ability to enhance T-cell proliferation and gamma interferon production in response to HCV-specific antigens by blocking the Tim- 3-Tim-3 ligand interaction is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Upregulation of PD-1 Expression on Circulating and Intrahepatic Hepatitis C Virus-Specific CD8+ T Cells Associated with Reversible Immune Dysfunction

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the inhibitory molecule programmed death-1 (PD-1) is significantly upregulated on total and HCV-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the peripheral blood and livers of patients with chronic infection compared to subjects with spontaneous HCV resolution, patients with nonviral liver disease, and normal controls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alterations in the Gut Microbiota Associated with HIV-1 Infection

TL;DR: Evaluating innate and adaptive immune responses to lysates from bacteria that differ with HIV explores the functional drivers of these compositional differences and identifies Prevotella-rich community composition most similar to healthy individuals in agrarian cultures of Malawi and Venezuela.
Journal ArticleDOI

Programmed Death 1 Expression on HIV-Specific CD4+ T Cells Is Driven by Viral Replication and Associated with T Cell Dysfunction

TL;DR: PD-1 expression on HIV- specific CD4+ T cells is driven by persistent HIV replication, providing a potential target for enhancing the functional capacity of HIV-specific CD4- T cells.
