A Direct Role for NKG2D/MICA Interaction in Villous Atrophy during Celiac Disease

TLDR
It is shown that MICA is strongly expressed at epithelial cell surface in patients with active disease and is induced by gliadin or its p31-49 derived peptide upon in vitro challenge, which supports a key role for MIC/NKG2D in the activation of intraepithelial immunity in response to danger.

The effects of a smoking cessation intervention on 14.5-year mortality: a randomized clinical trial.

TL;DR: The smoking cessation program was associated with cumulative reduced decline in lung function (FEV1) that was largest in participants who stopped smoking early in the study; inhaled ipratropium produced a small noncumulative increase in FEV1 that disappeared when the drug was withdrawn.

Immunity, Inflammation, and Allergy in the Gut

TL;DR: In both mouse and man, mutations in genes that control innate immune recognition, adaptive immunity, and epithelial permeability are all associated with gut inflammation, which suggests that perturbing homeostasis between gut antigens and host immunity represents a critical determinant in the development of gut inflammation and allergy.

Regulation of Ligands for the NKG2D Activating Receptor

TL;DR: The numerous pathways that have been implicated in the regulation of NKG2D ligands are reviewed, the pathologic states in which those pathways are likely to act are discussed, and the findings are synthesized into general schemes of NKD ligand regulation in NK cell responses to cancer and infection.

Identification of tissue transglutaminase as the autoantigen of celiac disease

TL;DR: Tissue transglutaminase is identified as the unknown endomysial autoantigen of celiac disease, and gliadin is a preferred substrate for this enzyme, giving rise to novel antigenic epitopes.

Tumour-derived soluble MIC ligands impair expression of NKG2D and T-cell activation

TL;DR: It is shown that binding of MIC induces endocytosis and degradation of NKG2D, a mode of T-cell silencing that may promote tumour immune evasion and, by inference, compromise host resistance to infections.

Structural Basis for Gluten Intolerance in Celiac Sprue

TL;DR: A 33-mer peptide was identified that has several characteristics suggesting it is the primary initiator of the inflammatory response to gluten in Celiac Sprue patients, and could be detoxified in in vitro and in vivo assays by exposure to a bacterial prolyl endopeptidase, suggesting a strategy for oral peptidase supplement therapy for CeliacSprue.
