Modulating PCAF/GCN5 Immune Cell Function through a PROTAC Approach

TL;DR: By generating the first PCAF/GCN5 proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC), small molecules able to degrade and to potently modulate the expression of multiple inflammatory mediators in LPS-stimulated macrophages and dendritic cells are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

The nuclear receptor LXR modulates interleukin-18 levels in macrophages through multiple mechanisms.

TL;DR: LXR activation inhibits IL-18 production through regulation of its transcription and maturation into an active pro-inflammatory cytokine, which could be applied to modulate the severity ofIL-18 driven metabolic and inflammatory disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cross-talk between iNKT cells and monocytes triggers an atheroprotective immune response in SLE patients with asymptomatic plaque

TL;DR: iNKT cell function could link immune responses, lipids, and cardiovascular disease in SLE patients and, together with serum lipid taxonomy, help predict preclinical atherosclerosis in Sle patients.
