The immune cell landscape in kidneys of patients with lupus nephritis

TL;DR: Analysis of kidney samples from patients with lupus nephritis and healthy control subjects revealed 21 subsets of leukocytes active in disease, including multiple populations of myeloid cells, T cells, natural killer cells and B cells that demonstrated both pro-inflammatory responses and inflammation-resolving responses.

Manganese causes neurotoxic iron accumulation via translational repression of Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) and H-Ferritin

TL;DR: The results suggest that Mn‐induced neurotoxicity is partly attributable to the translational inhibition of APP and H‐Ferritin resulting in impaired iron metabolism and exacerbated neurotoxic oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

A role for amyloid precursor protein translation to restore iron homeostasis and ameliorate lead (Pb) neurotoxicity.

TL;DR: Overall, the data support a model of neurotoxicity where Pb enhances iron regulatory protein/IRE‐mediated repression of APP and FTH translation, and propose novel treatment options for Pb poisoning to include chelators and the use of small molecules to maintain APP andFTH translation.
