Journal ArticleDOI

Src homology 2 domain-containing inositol 5-phosphatase 1 deficiency leads to a spontaneous allergic inflammation in the murine lung.

TL;DR: Findings provide strong evidence that mice lacking SHIP-1 have an allergic inflammation in the lung, suggesting that SHIP -1 plays an important role in regulating the T(H)2 signaling pathway and in maintaining lung homeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The microbiome of the lung and its extracellular vesicles in nonsmokers, healthy smokers and COPD patients.

TL;DR: The analysis of the lung microbiome revealed that the bacterial communities present in the EVs and in the COPD group possessed distinct characteristics with differences in the OTUs, diversity indexes and PCA clustering.
Journal ArticleDOI

STAT4 Expression in Human T Cells Is Regulated by DNA Methylation but Not by Promoter Polymorphism

TL;DR: Interestingly, STAT4 expression was drastically increased in human T cells following treatment with a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor, and truncation of methylation sites in the proximal regulatory elements of the STAT4 promoter markedly enhanced transcriptional activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

16S rRNA gene-based metagenomic analysis reveals differences in bacteria-derived extracellular vesicles in the urine of pregnant and non-pregnant women

TL;DR: Evaluating whether bacteria-derived EVs are excreted via the urinary tract and comparing the composition of bacteria- derived EVs in the urine of pregnant and non-pregnant women suggested that EVs might have an important role in the maintenance of pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extracellular Vesicles Derived from Gram-Negative Bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Induce Emphysema Mainly via IL-17A–Mediated Neutrophilic Inflammation

TL;DR: It is shown that indoor dust from a bed mattress harbors E. coli EVs, which induce IL-17A–dependent neutrophilic inflammation and thereby emphysema, possibly via upregulation of elastase activity.
