Journal ArticleDOI

Induction and molecular signature of pathogenic TH17 cells

TL;DR: It is found that the production of TGF-β3 by developing Th17 cells was dependent on IL-23, which together with IL-6 induced very pathogenic TH17 cells, which had a molecular signature that defined pathogenic effector TH 17 cells in autoimmune disease.
Journal Article

KIT activation is a ubiquitous feature of gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

TL;DR: It is suggested that activated KIT might represent a universal therapeutic target in GISTs, and mutations in all KIT domains were associated with high-level KIT activation/phosphorylation, and KITactivation was also demonstrated in the four Gists that lacked detectable KIT genomic and cDNA mutations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induction of pathogenic Th17 cells by inducible salt sensing kinase SGK1

TL;DR: It is shown that a modest increase in salt concentration induces SGK1 expression, promotes IL-23R expression and enhances TH17 cell differentiation in vitro and in vivo, accelerating the development of autoimmunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TPM3-ALK and TPM4-ALK oncogenes in inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors.

TL;DR: A recurrent oncogenic mechanism is reported, in IMTs, in which tropomyosin N-terminal coiled-coil domains are fused to the ALK C- terminal kinase domain, the first known fusion oncogene that transforms, in vivo, both mesenchymal and lymphoid human cell lineages.
