Meghana N. Patel,William G. Bernard,Nikolay B. Milev,William P. Cawthorn,Nichola Figg,Daniel Hart,Xavier Prieur,Sam Virtue,Krisztina Hegyi,Stéphanie Bonnafous,Beatrice Bailly-Maitre,Beatrice Bailly-Maitre,Yajing Chu,Julian L. Griffin,Julian L. Griffin,Ziad Mallat,Robert V. Considine,Albert Tran,Albert Tran,Philippe Gual,Philippe Gual,Osamu Takeuchi,Shizuo Akira,Antonio Vidal-Puig,Martin R. Bennett,Jaswinder K. Sethi +25 more
TL;DR: This work identifies inhibitor of κB kinase epsilon (IKBKE) as a new modulator of chronic inflammation in macrophages and establishes a nonpathogenic role for hematopoietic IKBKE in limiting inflammasome priming and metaflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein β is required for activation of genes for ornithine cycle enzymes by glucocorticoids and glucagon in primary-cultured hepatocytes
Tatsuya Kimura,Shoaib Chowdhury,Takashi Tanaka,Atsuko Shimizu,Katsuro Iwase,Katsuro Iwase,Seiichi Oyadomari,Tomomi Gotoh,Hiromitsu Matsuzaki,Masataka Mori,Shizuo Akira,Masaki Takiguchi,Masaki Takiguchi +12 more
TL;DR: C/EBPβ is required for hormonal induction of the genes for ornithine cycle enzymes in primary‐cultured hepatocytes, while the deficiency of C/E BPβ is compensated for in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of prostaglandin E2 synthesis and microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 expression in murine microglia by glioma-derived soluble factors. Laboratory investigation.
Yoshiteru Nakano,Etsushi Kuroda,Tomohiro Kito,Satoshi Uematsu,Shizuo Akira,Akira Yokota,Shigeru Nishizawa,Uki Yamashita +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of microglia in glioma microenvironments in the mouse was investigated, and the authors found that microglias produce prostaglandin (PG)E2, which promotes the growth of tumor cells and possesses immunosuppressive activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inducible expression of nuclear factor IL-6 increases endogenous gene expression of macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha, osteopontin and CD14 in a monocytic leukemia cell line
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that inducible expression of NF-IL6 is able to increase endogenous gene expression of macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1 alpha, osteopontin and CD14 in M1 cells, and activated murine MIP-1 alpha proximal promoter luciferase construct which contains two NF- IL6 binding sites and a point mutation of either site markedly reduces theLuciferase activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dysregulated Expression of the Nuclear Exosome Targeting Complex Component Rbm7 in Nonhematopoietic Cells Licenses the Development of Fibrosis.

Standley,Eiichi Morii,Tatsuya Kanto,Motoko Yanagita,Yoshiharu Matsuura,Takashi Nagasawa,Atsushi Kumanogoh,Shizuo Akira +20 more
TL;DR: Rbm7 in epithelial cells plays a critical role in the development of fibrosis by regulating ncRNA decay and thereby the production of chemokines that recruit SatMs.
